@swordsjew.bsky.social I think you tweeted a few years ago about, to spend time with a guy, you once learned to play Magic the Gathering. I thought about that last night after I taught my fiancee to play.

Many newsletters are opinions and worthwhile, but Law Dork is reporting, original information you won’t find elsewhere. It’s worth supporting.

I hope that judge who ruled that telemarketers using autodialers is permissible gets as many fucking spam calls trying to sell him $55,000 loans every day as I do.

“0-0 was a good result considering they played a man down after a red card in the 9th minute.” No. The red card was not an injury, it was something the team did, the same if they’d given up a goal. Players Know they need to not be sent off, and fans and commentators should talk like that too. #mls

If political violence was worth condemning when Charlie Kirk was murdered, calls for it shouldn’t be ignored, even if it comes from your side.

I did the World Cup draw. No need for FIFA to do it now. (I think I got it right. Some of the continental conflicts got tricky when I got to the end of Pot 4.)

This is my version of the UEFA Champions League table, using strength of schedule instead of GD. Where the points break and the bracket breaks, it’s not very different from the official table.

I just watched the Golazo Show on several hours’ delay. Paramount Plus has really improved its interface and system over the past few years, and that has really improved my life.

I’m so glad the #MLS playoffs are mostly on FS1 because I have some obligations and have to watch them on delay, and this way I can do it without AppleTV spoiling it.

The cancellation of the Barça-Villarreal #LaLiga game in Miami is a good step. But the barn door has been open, and as long as the Spanish and Italian supercups are played in Saudi Arabia —or, to the real point, not in Spain and Italy — it will stay open. #uefa

RBC Wealth Management’s commercials make me want to eat the rich. Not as much as the behavior of the actual rich, mind you. But they do suck. You don’t get a giant check for a $5,000 donation.

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

The plural of Lego is Legos and anyone who says otherwise is a corporate bootlicker.
