Of all the Americans MTG is one and I couldn’t wait to read her book. Unfortunately it arrived upside down so I had to return it. 1 star.

That article is virtually unreadable. What a trash website.

It's, like, a few words and then some ex-twitter links. And then a few more words and some screenshots of the Amazon reviews before going back to the ex-twitter links. Dumb.

For me, the twitter stuff doesn't even load. It's literally unreadable.

I feel like that’s par for the course for a large number of news articles now, especially the “Y is outraged at Z because of —“ articles where it shows like 3 tweets from people who are, at best, mildly annoyed by the thing.

George Takei constantly shills for that site in his mastodon feed. I unfollowed him because of it.

I unsubbed because the man talks a lot... @pluarlistic and @breadandcircuses now flood my feed
mastodon is neat, I've not figured out how to use my masto-id on lemmy but what ever.

Weird for Magic The Gathering. I have questions.
Are we talking the coastal wizards are being trolled or the players?

From the Amazon description
lol, wut? when?

That's when people say that they are funny and have a dark sense of humor, only to find out they mean racist.
NateNate60@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2y
The humour is obvious. Just listen to her daily ramblings and speeches and you'll be rolling on the floor. The latter is an example of the former.

It’s not surprising that she confuses “laughed at me” with appreciating something.

All this time she thought we were laughing with her.

Technology has come so far you can even publish books in different timelines!
mateomaui@reddthat.com · 2 pts · 2y
This is the most likely explanation.
nnullzz@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 2y
She couldn’t even bother to make sure her name and title was centered on the books cover.

Worse yet, it's leaning left, and we all know that's inaccurate.

You know what, guys? Marge would be quite upset about the negative reviews, if she could read.
Illuminostro@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 2y
The majority of the copies are bought by some Republican super PAC, standard GOP procedure.

Do even the magas want to read a book from mtg? I'm finding that doubtful.
drislands@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 2y
This kind of book is typically money laundering more than anything else. PACs can't just give money right to a candidate, but they can buy thousands of copies of their book to give away at events. Boom, money right into your guy's pockets.

Do Magas read?
OurTragicUniverse@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y
Can magas read?
Illuminostro@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y
Do they even read?

Whenever I hear of MTG I think of the Japanese firm and I'm really confused why the business has been assigned a gender -_-

I think of Magic the Gathering and also get confused.

Damn that article under it about Jenna Ellis is also hilarious

There are only 4 reviews.
reddig33@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 2y
mateomaui@reddthat.com · 7 pts · 2y
Crazy that for some reason those 4 were left up.
Artyom@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y
Amazon probably only left up verified purchases.
mateomaui@reddthat.com · 3 pts · 2y
Hard to say. None of them specifically say verified purchase (at least I think they normally say that), and this is one that’s still up:
mateomaui@reddthat.com · 7 pts · 2y
You may notice the article itself shows at least six different ones, so reviews are getting removed.

Is it written in crayon?

Doesn't that mean they bought her book? So....she's laughing all the way to the bank?
