Tigers are keeping Mrs. Noell up too late.

Had a chance to go out to play commander at the store for the first time in a while. The first game was wild. I was playing Eruth against Ultima, Nekusar, and a mostly stock Valgavoth precon.

Every year, without fail, I think "oh, it's getting cool enough I can break out he long sleeve shirts and sweaters" and The Onion posts this within a few days of that thought. Joke's on them, though, because it's a cup of hot chocolate.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Ohio’s new age verification law targeting porn goes into effect today, which means people will either have to use a VPN or submit their IDs to use Bluesky. This is Project 2025 in action. The goal is to limit freedom and make it harder to access anything remotely progressive

Wizards of the Coast is hosting a Twitch stream to support Trans Lifeline, a hotline and non-profit organization offering direct support to trans people in crisis – for the trans community, by the trans community. Tune in to twitch.tv/magic on Oct 4th at 10am PT to play games with us and support!

MagicCon events fill me with joy. From getting invited to dinners with friends and meeting new friends, to having drinks with long time group DM friends, to finally meeting people I’ve only ever interacted with online, this has been incredible. Hoping I can do even more next year.

Oh holy shit! Put it in my eyeballs now! I WILL build a Janeway deck. magic.wizards.com/en/products/...

I love the energy at tabletop conventions. Seeing people enjoying themselves always recharges me socially and creatively. I’ll be at the Dragon Shield booth this weekend, come say hi! #MCArlanta

You know, I’m something of a scientist myself.

Huntington's sucks. So this is incredible news! www.bbc.com/news/article...

There’s so many cool Commanders in #MTGxSpiderMan that I want to build!

I HAVE been meaning to go to an event to just hand out and sling some spells. This seems like a great excuse to go.

There's a wrong way and a right way to report this

Shout out to all the nurses and doctors out there who will have to deal with “but Trump says tylenol causes autism!” every day for the rest of their careers. A disgrace.

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

I keep getting served ads for KPop Demon Hunters merch and honestly the item I’m most tempted to get is Mira’s polar bear sweater.

Finally getting to try out SETI!

The pill helped my wife function for many years by reducing the size of her cysts and therefore reducing her pain and increasing her energy. Fuck all this. Calling my reps.

Rereading the Cosmere, one of my small concerns for a possible film/tv adaptation of Stormlight Archive is how Shardblades are summoned. I have this feeling they’ll want them to appear from the hilt to the tip in dramatic fashion, rather than the small swirling of air and sudden pop into existence.

Let me tell you a little story 😊 You are a normal person, and you have a beautiful dog that you love. One day, you hear about some guy who wants all dogs to be beaten to death.

Commander VS is delayed again this week because we just found out that fucking Premiere Pro 25.4 had a huge memory leak, which prevented us from exporting properly. We only leaned this morning when they upgraded to 25.5.

Rare Sports post from me. Mrs. Noell had on the Tigers game. What the hell was that 7th inning? Absolute clown shoes by the Yankees.

I need a prescription to get the Covid-19 booster, but Doctors aren’t prescribing it because they don’t have guidelines. Sounds like it’s working as intended.

The chapter in Oathbringer from Rock’s perspective makes me so happy. It’s just a great chapter.

Turns out I need a prescription for Covid-19 booster shot in VA because RFK Jr wants people to suffer.

It's just a sports ban. It's just a bathroom ban. It's just a healthcare for kids ban. It's just a military service ban. It's just a federal jobs ban. It's just a university housing ban. It's just a passport & visa ban. It's just one Constitutional right. It's just your status as free citizens.

As soon as we started talking about a @spikefeeders.com crossover, Stephen went into their Discord and started campaigning for the decks that didn't win because he loved the idea of calling it The Bottom Feeders. Then he got forced to play Ragost for the third time 😂

Finally getting around to sleeving my Final Fantasy precons. Took me a while to figure out which @dragonshield.bsky.social colors to go with.

Can dad sit on the couch? Tiny Noell: Noooo. Can dad lay down? Tiny Noell: Noooo. Can dad scream into the void? Tiny Noell: No. Too loud.

Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival

What would you play as a Commander if you could pick from any Legendary permanent that isn't a supported Commander type? No creatures, Planeswalkers, Backgrounds, vehicles, or spacecraft.

SAY NICE THINGS ABOUT EoE (if you liked the set TELL THEM WE LIKE inventive ambitious in universe cards because EoE got swamped and swept aside by two UB preview deluges before it even released)

Finally watched KPop Demon Hunters. I get it now.

EDH players:

Is…this not how most people do it?

Making an old fashioned for myself for the first time tonight. I have no cocktail equipment, so this will be an adventure! Mrs. Noell and I played Lord of the Rings Duel and Please Don’t Burn My Village. She won LotR as Sauron, I won PDBMV. Both were quick, fun games.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Their memorials are history. Ours are political. Because as always, there are two sexualities - straight, and political. Two genders - male, and political. Two religions - Christian, and political. Two races - white, and political.

Shocking bit of news. I really like Magic: The Gathering.

The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.

Just took a tiny knee to the eye trying to get this kid to sleep. How’s your night going?

omfg @moderation.bsky.app stop suspending prominent trans people for saying mundane shit! Free Bugs Maytrix, this is absurd. #freethebugs
