I think I check @rdauterman.bsky.social's site every other day in hopes for an X-Men 97 print restock. Wink wink, Mr. Dauterman. I simply don't have enough room for an entire wall of costume prints. 😆

Sometimes I go back and listen to old @ifanboy.com Talksplodes, and there is nothing more wholesome than hearing @tomking.bsky.social gush about how much the pod/shows/etc mean to him as an influence and as a growing comics person.

Brett Goldstein and Juno Temple gazing at one another in a new episode of Ted Lasso gives me life on a random Wednesday in August. Also, Keeley having some 'meta' dialogue is hilariously adorable.

"there are more ways than ever for the modern day player to wonderlessly discover Magic cards" is such a good line.

@fuzzytypewriter.bsky.social Second screening Krisis' stream from last night, and did an audible 'PAUL!' when they said your name. Felt like my heart grew half-a-size.

That's a pretty good price for 100 ready to play decks and a command towner

That feeling when you are the center of the Venn diagram of MTG and Marvel, and all it makes you wanna do is play VS System and read Hickman's weird X-Men. Even when the slop is targeting me, I feel uninspired.

I've been trying to figure out why my office shelves keep feeling as if they're filling up faster than I ever thought they would. Then I remember that this was my haul in May and let out a big sigh. Krakoa, man.

I should be loving this time of year. I love the NBA conference finals. Yet, I have watched five games of Spurs/OKC, and each one feels like it's decided by the whistle in egregious ways. Also, watching the Thunder play this way is depressing.

If Wemby is 50% as intentional and humble as Timmy was in his career, then the Spurs have the ability to compete at a high level for the next decade or longer. The culture of the Spurs is just unreal in professional sports.

I really resent the fact that eating well and moving around more actually makes you feel better What kinda bullshit is that

All respect to Lee and glad he's taking care of his issues, but I also wonder about an industry where cutting back to working until 1am every weekday instead of until 4am, and "only" during daylight hours on every weekend day is considered healthy.

My colossal mistake is trying to read all of the Krakoan Age stuff in omnibus form.

Oh good we made it through April 1st, now I can go back to believing everything I read on the internet!

Talking about the MLM-ification of content creation and losing the recipes of folks doing what they love.

In my efforts to try to catch up on Krakoa X-Men, I bought the Dawn of X vol. 1 omnibus last fall. Figured that would be easier than hunting down out of print hardcovers and omnibus titles. LCS employee told me today that the Krakoa era will likely be 11 omnibus sized books. I wanted to pass out.

Premodern is doing a great job highlighting how Magic collectability vs. playability should work. This is also a great argument against the reserved list. #MTG

Quentin Tarantino should have been run out of town for speaking ill of this man

WHOS NEXT???!?!?!!

I know that I am old because I can hear @misterorange.bsky.social saying Noggle Bandit like it was yesterday. Now we have a new Noggle, who is still a bandit.

God YouTube can be cool and good sometimes. What a brilliant video that not only has a great fucking message, but is also beautifully shot/edited. youtu.be/tWYxrowovts

I got called unc and old hat last night at our Canadian Highlander meetup. It's official. I think 36 actually does mean 'old'.

Mamgic the Glubberings. I mean, 'Canadian Highlander'.

Thinking a lot about @wheeler.bsky.social's Trailblazer stream and just the general idea of alternative 1v1 singleton formats that aren't power crept into infinity by Horizons-style sets. Also pondering it as a 60 card singleton format more akin to 7PH. Must think.

Leave it to Graham to do all the work for Amazon MGM. Leave it to Amazon MGM to somehow fumble the bag.

Every thing about these screencap cards over the last 3 UB sets has been a complete mess. A total embarrassment. Some of the worst looking cards ever printed.

Apex Legends is a really hard video game. Holy crap.

I try to keep things positive, both in my life and in my content, but idk man, I just kinda hate this shit. Anyone interested in some @riftbound.riotgames.com content?

I just logged into the internet to see that I'm slowly playing VS System again, but this time it's from Hasbro.

Most of writing is thinking about stuff while going on a little walk

That feeling when you finally read the first Absolute Batman hardcover and you remember that @ssnyder1835.bsky.social guy really knows how to write some Batman.

Pushing out previews for a future set on prerelease weekend is so tacky

New hype cycle for new set starts before I even start drafting the set that does pre-release stuff this weekend. Then we repeat the cycle again in a few weeks for the next set. I don't know if I like this unending pattern, and I play a singleton eternal format. Let me enjoy Tezzjammer? Please?

Canadian Highlander. 🤙

As someone who logs out of their social media regularly, I really don't miss social media.

Trans rights are human rights, because if one person isn’t free to be who they are, then none of us are free. The fascists will get around to you eventually.

Get ready for some POWERFUL MAGIC! It's time for the 2024 Canadian Highlander Championship! twitch.tv/loadingready... youtube.com/loadingready...

Okay. This is the dumb joke I over-committed to. Feel free to give it more credit than it deserves.

I've been in the insurance industry for 15+ years. Tip for anyone thinking they might get evacuated: Take a video walking through every room in your home. It'll help you catalogue your belongings if you need to make a claim and be helpful for the adjuster to get things processed quickly.

Happy new year! May it be a year of kindness and good fortune. A year of a thousand small gestures that turn into a thousand genuine smiles. A year where tenacious little roots of hope push through the darkness and all are blessed to reap what they have sown.
