woaw, there are #stonks in the @mtgarena.com store

I queue up all 59 minutes of Operation:Mindcrime and never once break eye contact with the crowd to look at the lyrics screen.

I hate how accurate this skeet is

Trying to read the rules about who gets the hammer in curling and am I wrong, or is Olympics official web page for this written by AI? Long, redundant, repetitive, inefficient prose, like the bullshit padding before a recipe to make you scroll through more ads before the content you came for.

The overlap of disc golf and Magic is pretty wide.

I encourage everyone to sit with the term "ethics waiver" for a minute.

I think one of the things that holds things back in D&D Club is none of the kids engage in any other fantasy genre fiction besides D&D. I can’t lean into tropes if you’ve never seen them anywhere else. I’m not here to reinvent LotR or Percy Jackson from first principles with you.

Some of them appear to be capable of shame, since there have been a few sales of properties called off. Keep up the pressure, everyone. We are taking losses, but we are winning the long game.

"the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children"

Making the D&D students decide what to get for drinks and snacks using a simplified Rules of Order. Had a clerk, facilitator, and a stack-keeper and *all* I did was act as parliamentarian. Teaching this was a priority for me at the start of the year and they’re starting to get it.

I haven’t Progenitor Mimic’d a Vesuvan Doppelgänger in a long time. I miss the old EDH when you had time to do really stupid stackrobatics.

I’m sure this is going to work out great for them and won’t cause any additional problems.

I can’t tell if this is a bit.

My one stint on jury duty a juror got spoken to by the judge for doing crossword puzzles and falling asleep, just being a dick about it being beneath him to sit there, then somebody told me he was “locally famous” as in he owned a furniture store or something and had been in their TV commercials.

Would love this in Magic. If I knew which positions were “Just cast your five drop and pass” and which were “You have lethal if this were a Magic The Puzzling column” I’d have fewer unintentional draws for time.

Chronic pain is disability. So to everybody out there in pain all the time, you're disabled. I know we keep our chronic pain to ourselves because no one wants to hear about it & do our best to manage. But if it affects your day to day functionality, you're a disabled person.

Oh, no no no. No one gets to see my dogshit photoshop skillz at full size. Thumbnail size is just fine, thanks.

I’m going to rebalance my retirement investments because this is unsustainably fucked up and I don’t want to be exposed to the coming FO phase any more than necessary.

Here it is being used for what it was designed for.

I think it’s a string of synced still cameras.

He put himself into this blanket burrito.

The one smart decision they made was to paint/vinyl wrap their Cybertruck after they get it.

This book changed me.

The Switch port of Disco Elysium doesn’t accommodate the undocked mobile screen. A text size slider would be great.

Someone just nearly landed a 2180°???

This is why I don’t do Routes. Why is there research locked behind features that don’t work?

I absolutely agree with these takes about 4e. 4e was New Coke. You were never going to convince people it was better because it was better along an axis people weren’t using to make their judgements.

Boardercross—summer games got nothing on this*. Winter events are awesome. *(Wait, I take it back, whitewater kayakcross is an event now. That’s pretty cool, too.)

Salesforce’s ad that repeats the phrase “What if…?” over and over. Yeah, what if magic *were* real? That certainly would be something.

No, the orange sack of shit doesn’t get to ruin another Census. No way.

if you asked me to diagnose the western game industry's current problem it would start with "landlords have absorbed basically all disposable income"

Sci fi concept: the aliens from Close Encounters, but they use Platonic math for their musical theory. They communicate via music, they all have perfect pitch, and they think the approximations of our equal temperament scale sounds like we are insulting them and declaring war.

Speed skating should be like Olympic swimming—now race 500m skating backwards. Then 500m with the skates on your hands. Then 1000m and 1500m. Give out medals like Halloween candy.

The relays are so beautiful. There’s a lot of movement going on, but I admire the precision involved in those exchanges.

@lukesteuber.com, I saw this “robot” doing inventory scans at the wholesale club. Of course it’s not an AI—somebody making $0.30/hr in Kuala Lumpur is driving it. But got me thinking, if not for the $0.30/hr part, is this a job someone with quadriplegia do working from home?

reading about the effects of cutting USAID. i think a painting of elon musk should be hung in public for everyone to see. a painting of elon musk should be put up against a wall and shot with a nice camera

Is there a more badass name for an athlete than “Mystique Ro”?

This is so spot on

This is why I haven’t reposted it. He doesn’t need Internet fame.

The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

So much of this is attention economy money from ad sales, but that value is all based on self-reported viewership numbers of Google, Meta, et al. saying, “Trust me, bro.”

His alters are selling for five figures on eBay and worth every penny.

USA Network is broadcasting a lot of F-bombs (please FCC, this is not me complaining, just noticing). Olympic athletes have big emotions and the microphones are very near to them.

This *is* the sort of hollowing out of rural America that MAGA voters accuse Democrats of doing.

Seriously, PoGo, geeeet fuuuuucked. They specifically never will give you a sale price you can afford with the in-game currency unless you pay real-world money to Prince bin Salman.

i often think about this review

Why are we not putting a personal face on specific individuals who are clearly eligible voters who can’t vote because of obstacles? Get specific and apply propaganda to sway opinion!

Proper nouns! I’m going to have to come up with a name for the colonizers’ religion, I guess? Daggerheart Drylands players, how did you deal with indigenous-colonizer dynamics? Or was it all kaiju all the time?
