One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."

Russell Peters, standing up for jokes, had this to say about playing the Riyadh Comedy Festival: “We’re not going to play by their rules. You’re ruining free speech.” Oh wait, no - that’s what he said about playing universities. He’s playing Riyadh of course. www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/arti...

Netanyahu calls Canadian recognition of Palestine the worst thing anyone has ever done to Palestine

She basically invented astrophysics. She proved the laws of chemistry, quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics, not just gravity, applied universally. She determined the composition of the sun and primacy of hydrogen in the universe. She advised the PhDs of Frank Drake and Frank Kameny.

The @washingtonpost.com story on Tylenol & autism leaves out a MAJOR 2.5M sibling-controlled study of children in Denmark, which "found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Some neon alters for my Rakdos deck.

You can't fire me. I quit. IN MY OWN MIND. (sotto voce) Where it really matters.

We're at the point where the Trump does something worse than Watergate daily, often multiple times a day. And none of it makes news; it's just normal now.

This card Rakdos-ed nicely.

A perfect intro to cube conversation!

I've been a huge fan of Lucky Paper Radio's podcast for a while now and it was a huge delight to get Anthony Mattox as a guest.

Regardless of the disgraceful nonsense we will likely hear from this administration in the coming days on vaccine “recommendations,” Americas healthcare insurers issued a joint statement tonight saying coverage for Covid and flu shots will remain unchanged from prior years. Speaks for itself.

After 47 years, Jerry has made the difficult decision to step down from the company we built together. I’m sharing his words as he resigns from Ben & Jerry’s. His legacy deserves to be true to our values, not silenced by @magnumicecreamco.bsky.social #FreeBenAndJerrys

Damaging cards is fun. I'm still not fully happy with these sharpie alters for a vest (sleeveless) deck. Some look good, but some still look a little rough. It's fun to do at least!

Yeah. We waited until Trevor had another donation matching event, so our impact was over 100k. mailchi.mp/6d076212527a...

I turned 50 this weekend and got these two gorgeous cards, altered by none other than the magical @ajimagic.bsky.social himself. Windmill slamming them into their awaited spots in my cEDH deck.

Is it too soon on to say Scavengers Reign?

The greatest exchange in comics interview history still belongs to Jack Kirby

Maybe my best painting so far. I've always loved this amazing art by Mark Tedin @marktedin.bsky.social

I am such a sucker for pics of Earth and the Moon taken from deep space missions. This one from Psyche, when it was *290 million km* from our planet, really puts things in perspective. Here's my take on it 👇 badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/a-portrait... 🧪🔭

A sampling of altered cards from @hummingbirdalters.bsky.social cEDH deck from this week's epsiode!

Artist Hummingbird joins us on the podcast this week. We attempt the impossible to capture the imagery of his alters in an audio-only format (with images here and on our site). Hummingbird brings his fully altered cEDH deck, The Apparatus, to Untapped Libraries. untappedlibraries.com/episode-007-...

Nick V's setup to bleach most of his deck in the Texas sun.

1000%

Episode 6 is up! This week our guest is Nick V. Nick’s Zada Commander deck is completely sun-bleached. Yes, he found a way to leave each card in the sun to bleach the colours creating a very distinct look to them. We discuss buying cards at the flea market, the power of the sun, and fighting birds.

A selection of Nick V’s sunbleached cards for his Zada Commander deck from this week's episode. The colours are so surprising!

I remember writing this eight years ago. "Alarmed" is a distant speck in the rear-view mirror. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/i-a...

My goto is to ask LLMs how many states have R in their name. They always fail. GPT 5 included Indiana, Illinois, and Texas in its list. It then asked me if I wanted an alphabetical highlighted map. Sure, why not.

Episode 5: Beth, Queen of Cardboard. Beth shares her thoughtful and touching commander deck made in honour of her late dog, King, including an altered Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful. We chat about Pac-Man Secret Lair, bestowing titles, and bonus animal guests. untappedlibraries.com

Hey Magic pals! We're always looking for new guests with decks that they love to chat with us. If you're interested, shoot us an email at [email protected] Commander, cubes, Modern, Vintage, your first deck when you were ten, a deck where all cards start with B... We wanna talk to YOU!

my mom taught me there's two kinds of businesses: hot dog stands and art galleries - hot dog stands protect territory and keep competition off their turf - art galleries benefit from more adjacent art galleries, cluster together to amplify reach/support youre an art gallery, not a hot dog stand

chat this is why I don't tell any brown people their food isn't spicy enough

Episode 4 sees Nick from Nick's Lotus taking us down memory lane as we explore the thrill, the romance, and the folly of first falling in love with Magic. Nick takes us back to the very first commander deck he ever built as teen with Teneb, the Harvester. Available wherever you get your podcasts!

That said, my son won the pre-release before playing a single game by opening BOTH of these in his bundle. Unbelievable. -v

This was a fascinating look into the world of competitive Magic. I know nothing about it and Emma was such a good guide into that world for us!

Our Magic: The Gathering podcast is off to the races. It's been a blast talking to our guests about their decks, their decision-making process, and their stories. Episode 2 has us talking curses, pillowforts, and uh-oh moments with @commandzoe.bsky.social Find us wherever you get your podcasts.

you're gonna wanna see this

My Isshin deck is easily my favorite commander deck, and i got a chance to sit down with two excellent ppl and talk about it. Go listen to me yap.

Episode 2 is live! This week we have @commandzoe.bsky.social talking about her funky take on Isshin, Two Heavens as One as a Commander. Getting Curse Enchantments to trigger twice on attacks! Find us on the PodCavern Network: www.podcavern.com/category/unt...

Full-art old border basics are how I got started altering. Basics have some of the best art in the game! Rob Alexander’s Urza’s Saga plains (which form a panorama!) are absolutely iconic

So happy to finally launch our Magic podcast @untappedlibraries.bsky.social ! Each episode has a different guest giving an in-depth tour of a different deck. Our first episode is @meghanwolff.bsky.social from @glhfmagic.bsky.social showing her Aminatou commander deck and talking about miracles.
