A site only for people who support your opinion, call it OnlyStans. A site trying to heal the divide between baking and cooking. Call it OnlyPans. A site about only getting the right amount of sun. Call it OnlyTans. A site about family sized vehicles. Call it OnlyVans.

Come on, it was obvious! This is the pangram. Look I’ll get points any second now. Any second now…

The thing that’s worse than MTG being used as an abbreviation for a politician is all the people making posts like this with the name of the card game in it so that search ALSO gives me useless results.

Back at it again with some MTG art I feel is under appreciated. Valgavoth's Faithful by Jodie Muir. Unfortunately there isn't a larger resolution of this available to really dig into the details but I do enjoy the ones I can make out, the spiral of moths; the tattered, moth eaten robe. Beautiful

Well New York Times Spelling Bee thinks I’m a genius so I’ve got that going for me.

The moral of the Hansel and Gretel story is that sometimes when you think you’re cooking you’re actually cooked.

after spending all year behind the paywall, part 1 of my documentary series FOOL TIME is now unlocked and free to watch for everybody: www.patreon.com/posts/fool-t...

Me not thinking about my favorite deck is a recession indicator.

Is this what state pride feels like?

Magic the gathering bans seven cards, ends up with a worse meta game.

Me: You don’t understand. The attractiveness of the vampire is a part of WHY they’re evil. They charm you, distract you. See, they were originally a metaphor for the “blood sucking” wealthy class who took advantage of- The Internet: Oh I’m attracted alright.

Finally, some good news.

I’ve been seeing a lot of people saying stuff along the lines of “I hope everyone who didn’t vote out of protest is happy.” and while I did vote for Harris I think its patently absurd to throw crap at the people who didn’t feel their vote is owed to somebody just because they aren’t Trump.

I love that wizards said they were gonna focus on standard and then everytime I check in there’s one deck that 40%+ of people are playing and everyone else is trying to counter that deck. A small mercy from the forces that be that I never got into competitive Magic.

I splash my face with water from the sink, the lighting is washed out, bleak. I look at myself in the mirror. My reflection asks “why are you at work when you could be playing Dwarf Fortress?”

Magic: The Gathering's Universes Beyond initiative is intended to be a vehicle to bring new players to the game. Unfortunately, prices for product are becoming so outlandish, sticker shock may stop those new players before they can even begin. My op/ed at @GameSpot: www.gamespot.com/articles/mag...

How great was Tom Lehrer? In 2020, he moved his entire catalog into the public domain because he felt he'd made more than enough money off of it. Enjoy every Tom Lehrer album: tomlehrersongs.com

Rest in peace to Tom Lehrer, man…

Scalpers should unionize, the stores are doing their jobs for them.

How the fuck is this shitstain still fucking up my google searches. I wish I could grab it at its roots and tear it out, even if that meant tearing the internet asunder. Seeing this stupid fucking popup makes me want to break things.

Scifi planet with your usual Hive mind villain but then the heroes get saved by a sect that schismed over something petty 200 years ago and made their own hivemind.

A snippet of the painting process of "Beyond the Quiet" for Magic: the Gathering's Edge of Eternities. Watercolor and acryla gouache on paper.

A New Episode of Slivers of Magic is up and out into the world, this episode is about Megantic Sliver and features questions answered by @lucasgracianoart.bsky.social about his rendition of the largest sliver I've ever seen (And the first sliver I ever owned). open.spotify.com/episode/64HO...

As someone who loves tinkering with my manabase I’m super hype for all the edge of eternity lands.

Not even black holes last forever and this moment is so much more fragile than a black hole.

Can’t wait for EoE to come out so I don’t have to pay attention to Magic the Gathering for the rest of the year. Hope everyone else has fun with Sonic the Hedgehog vs Aang.

The Magic The Gathering story for Edge of Eternities goes hard. Huge recommend even if you don’t like the card game.

The art when you commission a landscape artist: (Also this flavor text kicks ass)

Salt Lake joke I wrote after my first visit. Will be back in July to see if the lake still exists and also do a bit of standup. Doin’ shows in Vegas, Oklahoma, and Texas next month too. Tickets at joepera.com/shows

Technology has advanced to the point that you never have to interact with another human being in person. As a kid I would've loved this but as an adult I understand now that this is a fate worse than death. It can be hard to talk to people, but to live alone and think you're happy is hell.

Me at 2 A.M.: The interesting thing about the “One always tells the truth one always lies” riddle is that, the first time you hear it, you assume you must find out which is which but somewhat beautifully the correct answer, the question you need to ask, sidesteps that entirely! Also me: omg shut up

Discontinuity by Volkan Baǵa will always be one of my favorite card arts. Such an amazing depiction of an “end the turn” spell.

Hello Everyone -- We have an IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT. Please read the statement below:

Hey Alexa, how to look up guide to audio editing to make my voice sound like the back up singers in one specific recording of Ray Charles' "Can't stop loving you".

Dodgers broadcast was discussing the science behind the perception of time between children and adults. After hearing the explanation, the color commentator pauses and asks, "Am I gonna feel any better?" Andy Pages then smashes a dinger into space, thus ending the existential crisis on commentary.

When something intentionally tries for romantic or sexy with its vibes I’ve started thinking “this one’s for the baldur’s gate 3 fans” and I wanted everyone to know I’m not gonna stop.

“Tell me young man, if you find a spider in your home, do you crush it?” This was a rather innocous question usually but from Carv’s position, that is, suspended above the ground in a silk trap that had sprung on him, it carried a certain ominous quality. #spidersona

If you come for the Ms. (Bumbleflower) you best not miss (I won a local casual commander tournament and can’t think of a fun way to lever it into a concise social media post)

Doing the pop-eye power-up sequence but instead of spinach it’s two ibuprofen and an excedrin.

Love this art for a Magic The Gathering card that got stuck in my brain. Forensic Researcher by Aldo Dominguez.

If Hamlet had simply written down everything that was happening to him instead of avenging his father he would’ve written Hamlet, a very popular play.

Time for some more art that deserves to be recognized outside of the MTG fanbase. Recently picked up the commander energy precon for Aetherdrift in part because I love this depiction of Saheeli done by @ernandasouza.bsky.social so much.

【MAGIC: THE GATHERING JRPG!!】 The Public Demo is Live! This is my love letter to #MTG and #FinalFantasy, and I can’t wait for you to try it out for yourselves! Just download it from the link (below), and give it a whirl! Can you beat the boss and make it to the end? #MTGJRPG

As we near the end of women’s month I just wanted to shout out these iconic she/hers.

Therapist: It seems to me that you’re putting too much stress on yourself. Me: Well, what do you suggest? Therapist: You must accept that you can’t always be the very best like noone ever was. Perhaps you must find a cause beyond simply training.

Hire me to balance the budget.

Oh boy I sure do love being stuck outside work for an hour in the snow because none of the managers are here to unlock the doors. Good thing I can use my car to shelter in place.
