Your regular reminder that Jesse Watters, in addition to looking like the exact guy who would cut you off and give you the finger from his BMW, is deeply weird.

How fun must this have been for those kids?

I am regularly reminded there are plenty people out there who never got popped in the mouth for running it too much.

NJ gets it right every now and again. www.nj.com/news/2026/06...

I am not sure what WotC's editors are doing, but the new Ravenloft book suggests they are getting sloppy or farming out their jobs to others/AI. Enough careless errors and weird wording to make me notice, and I am not one to gaze upon my RPG books with the grammar police portion of my brain engaged.

The Fantasticar is a great example of how designing for EDH and the FIRE philosophy continue to make Eternal MtG formats less interesting. 30+ year-old mana bases with three month-old cards is the opposite of what I want to do, even while Old School and Premodern don't really float my boat either.

It looks like establishment Dems are crashing out (as the kids say) over a couple of *DEEPLY* blue districts moving left. This isn't some mass movement here, but you'd think it was the way they are reacting. Maybe pulling things a little bit left might be...good? Give it a try, see how it goes.

"Mamdanites," LOL. "Oh no, you mean you are friends with the charming, handsome guy who likes people, wants to help them, and smiles a lot? HOW DARE!"

The _USA Today_ graphic design person must be going through some stuff.

I only got one question right for the last day of Learned League, and it was only because of Gravity Falls. 😂

Ever since seeing them play it live at Roadburn, I have been listening to Oathbreaker's _Rheia_ a couple times per month. It's so good.

I find myself thinking this pretty regularly for some mysterious reason.

Oh my goodness, one of the alt-arts in the MtG Marvel set is the Roaming Throne with an Alex Ross of Doctor Doom riding a Doctor Doom T-Rex, so I guess I am going to need one. 😅

TIL the answer to "What if Josh from _Drake and Josh_ grew up and turned evil?"

TIL there is an artisanal cheese company called "Fromagination" and my life is slightly better for it.

Contentment

If I had a friend who was a relentless asshole (and not in a humorous way, I have several of those) who I stood by regardless of what he did, eventually people would start avoiding me too, because of the company that I am keeping. Yes, this is a metaphor.

I am so sick of these special boys who say "Billions of people need to change to adapt to what I want."

I know nerds love to deride "sportsball," but I only wish we loved our nerd shit as enthusiastically as this. It's just delightful in its unabashed joy.

Pause your doomscrolling and enjoy some art instead.

Regardless of where one stands on A.I., the ways it is being used by bad actors to lie to us are dangerous and depressing. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...

Faith No More covering this song to close out their show the last time I saw them was pure *chef's kiss*.

I am begging people to take one class on probability and statistics. Just one.

Traveling 7,000+ miles and taking the time to root *against* someone is some quality hating.

I wish I could create a company that loses ~$5,000,000,000 per year and still be grossly wealthy.

Watching a bit of the footage from Sunday's Rush concert. I hadn't realize just how much I missed their presence in the background of my life. Cannot wait to see them next month.

It's cool that two excellent comedic horror shows came out at basically the same time. Despite the superficial similarities in theme and tone, they somehow feel totally different from one another. It's like @bradguigar.com says, ideas are bullshit. The execution of those ideas is what matters.

*Takes a hit* You don't get it, it's a conspiracy maaannnnnnnnnnn...

*Chef's kiss*

@chrishickey.bsky.social @ajacobs.bsky.social attend:

I like how Hank from The Boroughs is basically "We have Hopper at home."

This Albanian thing with the world's dorkiest son-in-law is a good reminder that developing a wild place does not necessarily make it better. And sometimes makes it so much worse.

One of my gripes with superhero Magic the Gathering card is a lot of the art trying to bridge the space between painterly Magic art and exaggerated superhero art winds up satisfying neither. But Yin really understood the assignment.

Every now and again, you get a case of NIMBYism (laudatory). This is one of them.

This briefly spun my head because I my first thought was, "Jim Norton? The comedian? A bold choice." 🤣🤣🤣

Reply with ☠️ and I'll give you a letter to list your 4 favorite characters! I got Z, which was a bit tough, TBH, but we got there.

Tried it at Pax U, it's a hoot, jump in!

Hire a mariachi band to follow me around and do audio stingers any time I do something even slightly interesting.

The nonsense these people will say with a straight face never fails to impress me (derogatory). And it's all in service to a disintegrating old racist and his enablers, to boot.

I die a little inside from embarrassment by proxy every time one of these lickspittles says things they know are butt-kissing nonsense because it's what Dear Leader needs to hear if they want to keep their phony baloney jobs.

This thread captures something that's been scratching at the back of my brain for a while, but I couldn't quite articulate, about why people are leery of the economy despite the "line going up" consistently.

Trying to imagine someone seriously suggesting in 1976 that building a temporary arena for a combat sport would be a great bicentennial celebration. It's dimwits all the way down.

I got a chance to read the first _How to Survive Camping_ book by Bonnie Quinn. If you enjoy modern folk horror, it's a pretty good time. A bit clunky in spots, but worth a look, with an interesting and complex main character. I'll be ordering #2 soon and getting the others as they come out.

If the original wasn't so famous, I'd say "Fortunate Son" by Clutch.

Tagging @chrishickey.bsky.social and @ajacobs.bsky.social for value, because this kind of thing is their jam.

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

I am on my way home from an impromptu visit with some dear friends I hadn't seen in over six months, and I endorse this message. Don't be the people who say "We should get together soon" over and over until it's not longer an option.

Cosigning this. The ease with which our monkey brains can hit the dopamine button is maybe not so great for our society. Also, on a more selfish note, I am really, REALLY sick of Draft Kings ads.

Government by and for a bunch of clout-chasing Internet trolls with the comedic sensibilities of 12-year olds is some heck of a way to run a country. I am so tired of these dingbats.

It's only May and I already want the season to be over.
