A text conversation:

From mug-of-beans,
“The old magic persists thanks to it’s unfathomable power”

No, the old magic persists because the new magic can’t run the legacy spells | need to do my job, and keeps trying to install spirits | don’t want or need onto my orb.

from aqueerkettleofish,
Look, if the new magic didn't have a personality construct that kept trying to tell me which spells to use, maybe | wouldn't still be using the old magic.

from wizard-council-bureaucrat,
Yes it had a deep blood cost, but at least it was a one time sacrifice and not this monthly bloodletting nonsense new age magic has.

from wizard-archivist-official,
The old magic is robust enough to survive a decade of use and it's compatible with every wand, staff, scroll, and charm in our collection.

The new magic stops working after three days and every spell uses proprietary runes.

Our preferences, as an archiving institution, should be pretty clear.

from charlesoberonn,
You try to get guidance for the new magic and the king's sorcerers maybe will answer you in a few days with an unhelpful suggestion to buy the newest orb.

You need guidance for the old magic and a dozen retired middle-aged wizards will pop up to explain it to you rune by rune if necessary.

#ALT4you Tekst afbeelding staat geheel in bericht.

Misschien kunnen jullie bovenstaande korte omschrijving in de beeldbeschrijving zetten? Sommige screenreaders slaan berichten met afbeeldingen zonder AltText namelijk gewoon over. Of de tekst van jullie bericht copy-pasten zonder link? Een link werkt namelijk niet in een screenreader, IIRC, maar wordt dan teken voor teken voorgelezen.

An AzulCrescent comic, 3 panels.

Panel 1, "when you have a hammer...".
Azoo, in armor, looking contemplatively at a hammer she has. Three dots in the background.

Panel 2, "...everything looks like a nail".
Azoo barely visible in the corner, gazing upon a mesa filled with monsters, imaginary nails next to each of their heads.
Also fren is there, with a nail next to her bum.

Panel 3.
Azoo, very happy and delighted, captioned "heavy breathing".

@bruces #Alt4You: A cartoon set in a hospital waiting area. People here and there have things like a lizard tucked under an arm and a dog sitting on someone's lap, so it's probably a veterinary hospital.

A middle-aged man is sitting, looking up from the magazine he's been reading, as a doctor stands with her hand resting on his shoulder while she talks to him. The caption reads, "About your cat, Mr. Schrödinger — I have good news and bad news."

Artist's signature looks like "Somrtz"?

tweet by @unusual_whales

Alright, I think people knew of the tariff pause and traded it beforehand.

You can see before Trump posted "buy" on Truth Social, traders opened
$QQQ $TQQQ and $SPY calls

RIGHT BEFORE THE NEWS, someone opened $SPY 509 calls, expiring
TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those calls are up 2100% in one hour.

You can see all volume was literally opened TODAY!!!!!!!!! (That little green arrow). You can see all volume is new opening volume (not only on the Zero days, but also on the weekly $QQQ and $TQQQ calls). This is especially odd given IVR on these was around 82 this morning, with IV through the roof. The traders really wanted to trade directionally...

In fact, using Unusual Whales' net premium, you can see people have been loading calls trading for a reversal, following these opening calls.
Very clear example here.

Insane, someone knew.

@silverspookgames #alt4you Portrait of Queen Emma Kalanikaumakaʻamano Kaleleonālani Naʻea Rooke, to left of black and white photograph of Queens Hospital in 1859, captioned:
Established in 1859, Queens Hospital provided healthcare at no charge to the people of Hawaii. After the illegal military occupation by the US, there was a concerted attempt to defund and destroy this system.
Today, Hawaiians have some of the worst health outcomes in the US.

@martoiu "Het feit dat de Europese elites een gezamenlijke aanval op de natiestaat hebben ondernomen wil dus niet zeggen dat de Europese bevolkingen daar ook in mee zijn gegaan. Politieke leiders als Berlusconi in Italië, vader en dochter Le Pen in Frankrijk, Fortuyn, Roemer en Wilders in Nederland, Klaus in Tsjechië, Haider in Oostenrijk, Timo Soini in Finland, Pia Kjaersgaard in Denemarken, en vele andere, hebben allemaal een belangrijk punt gemaakt van het opkomen voor de nationale cultuur en de nationale soevereiniteit, en hebben bewust ` trots ' tot uitdrukking gebracht in het vertegenwoordigen van hun land. ... [gemarkerd] En op 29 november 2009 stemden de Zwitsers tegen het recht van islamitische immigranten om hun religie te manifesteren op een opzichtige manier, en verboden hun het bouwen van nieuwe minaretten. Het is aannemelijk dat dergelijke referenda in andere Europese landen tot vergelijkbare resultaten zouden leiden (wat ook de reden is dat politici zo huiverig zijn om deze referenda toe te staan). [einde markering]" , Thierry Baudet. (2012). De aanval op de natiestaat. Bakker.

The "Types of Headaches" meme image, showing four heads with different regions marked in red. "Migraine" (around the forehead or temples), "Hypertension" (at the back), "Stress" (wrapping around like a headband), and "Tariffs" (whole head is painted red).

Trump's post, part 1

I just had a great call with the Acting President of South Korea. We talked about their tremendous and unsustainable Surplus, Tariffs, Shipbuilding, large scale purchase of U.S. LNG, their joint venture in an Alaska Pipeline, and payment for the big time Military Protection we provide to South Korea. They began these Military payments during my first term, Billions of Dollars, but Sleepy Joe Biden, for reasons unknown, terminated the deal. That was a shocker to all! In any event, we have the confines and probability of a great DEAL for both countries. Their top TEAM is on a plane heading to the U.S., and things are looking good. We are likewise dealing with many other countries, all of whom want to make a deal with the United States. Like with South Korea, we are bringing up other subjects that are not covered by Trade and Tariffs, and getting them negotiated also. "ONE STOP SHOPPING" is a beautiful and efficient process!!!
