Night out with old friends and — somehow — even older music. Great night with my favorite humans on this stupid planet.

Finally cracked the code on the Arena powered cube drafts — MonoRed but with a Time Walk.

Almost missed them this season. Was singing them to the tune of Van Halen’s Panama all the way home.

so where are the op-eds about republican overreach today? where’s the commentary about donald trumps war against american citizens or his terror campaign targeting brown people? where’s the pearl clutching over the conservative social media bubble reliant on nazi propagandists?

One of the best political speeches I have ever heard in my life. Holy shit.

Civicing the good civics!

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

“You gotta be fucking kidding!” spider head thing has just endorsed Andrew Cuomo.

I mean dak fayden + narset. Name something more fun! Oko perhaps! Oooops I’ve made myself sad

What if... and I am just spitballing here... no idea too crazy etc... WE MADE A POWERED CUBE THAT DIDN'T HAVE PLANESWALKERS???

Watching Chiefs vs Bills and it features just depressingly good football from both teams on both sides of the ball.

Goddamn! You know oligarch-media is getting really fucking sweaty ahead of an off-year election when they are trotting out the World Trade Center imagery.

The Giants ̶s̶e̶c̶o̶n̶d̶a̶r̶y̶ — ̶t̶e̶r̶t̶i̶a̶r̶y̶ ̶ — quartenary is very bad.

As a green-based human I am really struggling with the Arena powered cube.

Gah!

I don’t know that I have ever seen this message on my TV before this post-season and now I have seen it twice.

This game is the baseball equivalent of being punished for stealing fire.

Holy hell! The chocolate marshmallow brownie from Milk Bar is fucking absurd. When Karla and I were dating there was an Entenmann’s chocolate cake that we were obsessed with. This is a very grown-up and very dangerously addictive version of that.

Day drinking near a Milk Bar location is dangerous business. Many calories lurk within this bag.

The most French news ever

New Rose — Paranubes rum, Velvet Falernum, acid-adjusted hibiscus tea, and preserved lemon brine with some fresh lemon peel expressed over the top. Relatively simple and bright addition to the #dogsearmenu

Been thinking a lot about what I love about making food and drinks and it really all came together while making a grilled cheese for lunch. It is an act that asks you to use all your senses — smells, colors, sounds and even touch — to get it just right so you can eat it.

Posts on my local neighbor’s FB group vacillate wildly between aggrieved culture war bullshit and this…

This is like the pitch for a Paramount+ TV pilot called NOBODY -- AND I MEAN NOBODY -- WANTS THIS.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Been loving this show! Penultimate episode was terrific and I was excited to see it was written by the great Walter Mosley.

Or if the game ends!

My most scalding hot Magic take: If I could go back in time to the start of Elder Dragon Highlander I would enshrine into the rules that generals MUST be two or more colors.

I have never seen an intentional BALK before. Baseball is the best!

"Just shared the meeting agenda with you on Slack"

From @jespermyrfors.bsky.social, The Dark set art director over on Facebook: “The Magic: The Gathering release The Dark was 100% a commentary on the evils and hypocrisy of bigoted right wing Christians…” Some cards for context and the set list: scryfall.com/sets/drk

You have to be fucking kidding me with this game! This is all my fault for saying out loud “well I guess will get to bed early tonight” more than two hours ago.

Just walk the guy. 4 extra base hits in a WS game for the first time in…119 years.

When I was a kid my neighbor and I managed an imaginary baseball team called the Blue Sox and we would sign all kinds of baseball progeny to play on our roster — Babe Ruth Jr, Bob Aaron, Ralph Koufax etc. The Blue Jays are just a more modest version of that team.

I want a Fast Horses prequel series with a young, dashing, and idealistic Jackson Lamb at the height of his powers.

The amazing Meaghan from @infinitokens.com had an idea and we delivered! If you want to make custom booster packs for a holiday countdown/Advent calendar, check out our newest limited offering! shippingshieldus.com/products/adv...

Everyone talks about John Carpenter movies during the month of Halloween but I almost never anyone talking about PRINCE OF DARKNESS -- one of my all time faves.

Embracing my inner @bdm.bsky.social - sorting Magic cards and sipping on an alarmingly strong Zombie.

Going out to celebrate a friend’s birthday in the tradition of our collective ages — at 630pm on a Saturday! Happy birthday Matt!

Went to an underground TCG dojo and played a little unsleeved Riftbound for the first time. Had a lot of fun and excited to try the multiplayer version. Jinx is going on the #dogsearmenu — Paranubes rum, Campari, mango Chinola liqueur and mango-basil shrub.

So THE AMERICANS is one of my favorite TV shows of all time and THE DIPLOMAT is super bingeable competency porn. Both shows are elevated to a higher level by Keri Russell’s performance in them. Am I supposed to go back and watch FELICITY?

Playing with my new favorite rum! Hatching Plans — Paranubes rum, Velvet Falernum, pineapple-serrano shrub, and acid adjusted pineapple juice. Added some foaming agent and a lime for garnish. My wife says this HAS to go on the #dogsearmenu full time.

Note to self: do NOT denominalize the phrase “square peg” into a verb in casual conversation.

it's such a gorgeous fall day in brooklyn, think i'll go out and move my car from one side of the street to the other in accordance with NYC alternate side parking rules

Retailer friends who sell Magic, take note!

Netflix Lands ‘Black Hole’ Drama Based On Graphic Novel With Straight To Series Order

Got to chat with Wally Szerbiak on the elevator up to our seats. Go Knicks!

Brendan Hurst reminded me that bad beat stories remain unaffected by inflation and still only cost 1 dollar. You do now need to summarize that bad beat story on the dollar and sign it though. This is (probably) not a scam.

A cotton ballpit.
