Two great games today. This World Cup has been excellent.

Now I want Poch to artificially bench suspend Balogun against Belgium because this is some heinous corruption. There's literally an indefinite suspension for Nepal and a potential suspension investigation pending for South Korea by FIFA for "undue government intervention" in their federations.

FIFA making the rules up as they go along. Whatever you think of the red card Balogun got, FIFA has upheld the red card but instead of a mandatory one match ban, he gets a probationary period. Following rule changes that allowed Ronaldo to swerve ban at the start of the tournament. Ridiculous.

This fuckin administration leeched the joy out of the Olympic US Mens Hockey Team Gold medal and now they've tainted the entire USMNT knockout stage AND hosting. And of course this comes right after news dropped that the US Soccer Federation wants to put in a host bid for the 2038 World Cup. 🫠🫠🫠

On the one hand, I'm glad Flo gets to play and the US has a better % to win and a harsh call was alleviated. On the other, this is FIFA talking out the side of their neck, confirming corruption and shadiness, and not backing the decision of their employees (the refs). This is a can of worms.

Lands in front? Lands in back? I play with my lands under my playmat. You gotta subscribe to my OnlyLands to get that content.

Shut out Spain. Go undefeated in group. Knock out Uruguay from that group. Never lose in regulation. Score on the top ranked defending champs in extra time and take them to the brink. Even if they lose, Capo Verde are the winners of this World Cup.

Moreira gets the start! #gocrew

I think the coverage for this World Cup has been fine, but I really miss Rachel Bonnetta.

Fun stat: If you compare the number of people who played soccer professionally and/or have swam in an ocean and been within 1 mile of a shark, a pro player is more likely to be bitten by Luis Suarez than someone who has swam within 1 mile of a shark to be bitten by a shark.

We got some quality references and in-jokes in Marvel Superheroes, but it is a missed opportunity to not get a Pongify with a Gorilla Man reference on it. #mtgmsh

Absolutely loving that, between the World Cup and the Knicks win, nobody cares about the gladiatorial combat.

The ability "create a Clue token" is shortened to "investigate." What should "create a Treasure token" be shortened to? "Create a Food token?" Map? Others?

I have seen Cal Ripken Jr. play at Camden Yards. I saw Rebecca Lobo play once. I was at the Atlanta Olympics and saw the bronze and gold medal women's soccer games so those folks. Probably 1 of those.

My New York sports rooting interests: Knicks in 6. F NYCFC. We hate the Red Bulls too. Da jankies lose. Daaaa jankees lose.

So bsky is clearly not the place for mtg content creators. All the big events and invites are going to folks on Instagram or TikTok (alongside the standard big yt folks), and the liaisons we would be working with are essentially an unmonitored answering machine with a full inbox

The Wizards of the Coast PR machine is not designed to reward your hard work. As a content creator you aren't vying for favor, and not being 'rewarded' with previews or invites isn't a sign of disfavor. Shifting strategies aren't a reflection on you. Half the time it's just shifting staff.

Kind of weird to be a 20+ year Magic content creator and be seeing these cool red carpet photos from the Hollywood Marvel event. Not that I'm a big enough name to be invited but still weird.

WE ARE LIVE FOR THE WEEK! twitch.tv/magicmics youtube.com/themagicshow

Happy Pride! I'm cis straight he him, and happy to celebrate everyone.

Taskmaster LA at Origins Game Fair featuring players: •Amy Vorpahl •Dave Hill •Lemar The Con Guy •B Dave Walters with Ryan Omega as Taskmaster & me as the Assistant! Thursday, June 18th, opening night on the Origins Stage. Tickets on sale now on the Origins website! tabletop.events/conventions/...

The game in which @persephiroth.bsky.social broke up an illegal rave, @jacuzzitubbs.bsky.social rolled so well we started a chant, @moxreuby.bsky.social told a robot to do crimes and @seananmcguire.bsky.social wrote an entire epic poem to summarize our deeds. Also, "Avishkari herbal cigarettes."

Okay so, for the next season of Game Changer I think the ultimate crossover Gamesamer is: Spin That Wheel III + Noise Boys V @dropout.tv @samreich.bsky.social

The Mandalorian and Grogu was super fun. I was grinning like a kid the whole time. And it's probably super rewatchable because of all the cool monsters and fights. If you are a kid, or have some, this is a great Star War.

Who wants to laugh on June 29? We hope you do! Join us for another TGIM and check out this killer lineup! Scan QR code for tickets or find us on Eventbrite.

next month tix aren’t on sale yet but it’s dulce slone and MAYBE byron bowers and maria bamfoo- wait for the flyer!

The bots are out, doing their best to reframe The Late Show ending.

A tough listen for the Mayor Debate where the moderators did not do their jobs particularly well, but @nithyaforthecity.bsky.social did what she needed to do and her opponents did not. She separated herself from the others, and Bass and Pratt were not impressive.

White men would rather fracture an entire reality than go to therapy.

#MCVegas Day 3 A dream to be able to perfprm on the main stage at MagicCon, to play D&D live in an #MTG setting, to have a meet and greet, and all with my friends. Excited for more in the future!

Well that felt great, cast had fun, live crowd had fun, hopefully the streaming audiencce enjoyed it too! #MCVegas

TODAY! At Magic Con Vegas! Come see me, run a Dungeons & Dragons game with: @seananmcguire.bsky.social, @jacuzzitubbs.bsky.social , @persephiroth.bsky.social , and @moxreuby.bsky.social 1:30 pm, Showcase Room! (N109) And really, how many D&D games have vending machines?
