shoutout to my goat ray (formerly bot boy, now otter boy) for going 9-5-1 for the promo at Hartford with splitter! something about a certain copypasta about certain decks being broken but hard to play @fireshoes.bsky.social

couldn't convert any rc invites this weekend despite going 11-4 punting a win-and-in in unprecedented ways, the titan deck is totally broken you guys should play it at LA. tournament ev down but vibes are going to the fucking moon (vibes 20k tmrw on boros convoke)

It’s time to formally announce how much #C4ACObscura raised for our friends @maketheroadny.bsky.social Drumroll please 🥁🥁🥁 From GFM to tickets to auctions (another resolving soon for $759 more) to our sponsor & legend @slickjagger.bsky.social we raised: $11,300 #MTGcube Thats community.

It’s hard to imagine us topping this. The work @scottmirts.upkeepnewyork.com has put into this absolutely has to mark him as LPR Cube Person of the Year. Give that man a plaque! We are blessed in NYC that Scott has put in the blood, sweat and tears to build a positive and inclusive cube scene.

I am finally able to share with you this cube that I put so much mental energy into. This cube was designed for @cubeforacause.upkeepnewyork.com Obscura - a one of a kind event hosted by @scottmirts.upkeepnewyork.com My prompt was "Telemetry", and here was my take: cubecobra.com/cube/list/te...

@cubeforacause.upkeepnewyork.com is a family reunion disguised as a cube event. my heart is so full reflecting on the weekend. thank you @andy.luckypaper.co, @scottmirts.upkeepnewyork.com, and @jenn-the-judge.bsky.social for being the coolest family ever. donate here: gofund.me/6dc59707b

I can’t say enough how thankful I am for @scottmirts.upkeepnewyork.com. We truly need to protect him at all costs. This past weekend was so much fun and a truly unique experience for all involved. And to top it all off, it’s for a great cause. Can’t wait for the auction of (some of) the cubes!!

Had a fantastic time this weekend at Cube For A Cause Obscura! Thank you to @scottmirts.upkeepnewyork.com and the rest of the team for putting it on. Played 3 really unique and fun cubes, Ritual, Deja Vu, and Omelas, and ended up with a record of 5-4. Super fun! #mtg #cube #magic #brooklyn

Tune in for t8!! I’ll be there, really proud of how I rebounded from a couple tough rounds to trophy and get a little lucky on breakers to bubble in at 8th

completely overhauled my stream rig so these fuckers could crunch carrots into my nice new mics and then play smash bros instead of magic. god i fucking love cube ❤️

AFTERNOOM CREW We are still raising money for @maketheroadny.bsky.social GFM: www.gofundme.com/f/cube-for-a...

@harmonyjwoods.bsky.social THERE ARE NO MISMATCHING CARDS HA

Lost in top 4 but was the 1 seed so got the double pass down for an invite! Played UB HarmonyWoods. Deck is awesome. Also got a cool card today

judges are the backbone of comp magic, and are truly some of the most lovely members of the community 😌

It's wild to me that the Riftbound 10k in Pittsburgh this weekend is using Topdeck, notable Nazi-run tournament software. I was planning on going at first but after seeing this fact I don't wanna touch @excaliburevents.bsky.social with a 10 ft pole. Topdeck context: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I would want it to be like LSD or Molly or Ketamine. Like. Imagine you could put your brain in different states temporarily. Like, oh, let's try ADHD for a little. Let's dip our toes in depression. Let's go full spectrum for a bit. Like, knowing what your personal default is and then exploring? 1/

Mamdani on the viral "my mayor's Muslim" Knicks fan: "Thanks to him, there are a lot of people who have just been running up to me over the last few weeks just shouting, 'My Mayor's Muslim!' I said, 'It's true. I am.'"

Rep. AOC posts new photo on Instagram celebrating the Knicks alongside Mayor Zohran Mamdani

Promises made. Promises kept.

Elect a socialist mayor, win an NBA title. It’s as simple as that.

it’s a basic rule of politics

overheard: "My mayor is Muslim! My bagels are Jewish! .... Yo, what's the rest?"

KNICKS IN FIVE KNICKS PRIDE BROOKLYN

Parade. Thursday. Manhattan.

It's difficult to overhype what Jalen Brunson has done as a New York Knick. Someone in the right place at the right time doing special things, with nothing lucky about it

THE KNICKS ARE NBA CHAMPIONS 🏆 For the first time since 1973, the kings of basketball reside in New York City.

nyc on top.

Holy fucking shit

KNICKS IN FIVE, POWER OF FRIENDSHIP PULLS THROUGH

NEWWWWWW YOOOOOOOORKKKKK

The New York Knicks are NBA CHAMPIONS for the first time in 53 years. #NBA #NBAFinals #nbabasketball #basketball #RG3 #RGIII #RobertGriffinIII #NewYork #Knicks #KnicksNation #knickstape #Spurs

When the Knicks last won a title, there was no such thing as hip-hop.

HISTORY.

Another data point in support of the thesis that you don’t need The Process to win a title, just build a good team and maybe fortune smiles on you one year.

Nova ➡️ New York Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson have now won a national title and an NBA championship together.

God bless Jalen Brunson, this is city is so fuckin good

HOLY SHIT

Just extraordinary. Greatest comeback in NBA history. Most points by a Knick in a finals game. 53 year drought ended. Thank you Jalen Brunson & the NY Knicks. Greatest city in the world.

KNICKS IN 5

classic knicks technique step 1: play like ass step 2: ??? step 3: win???

Truly the greatest city in the world

Our whole city is cheering for the Knicks tonight. So it’s only right that we bring the Knicks to the whole city. Tonight, Game 5 will be streaming on 130 LinkNYC kiosks. Let’s go Knicks.
