If you call me unc I’ll just assume you are calling me a graduate from the prestigious university of North Carolina because I come off as so intelligent and well read. Bitch

appreciate everyone discovering that the south carolina democratic party does not produce what you would call quality statewide candidates

And #doubledonnyday continues with @donnycaltrider.bsky.social’s latest for Hipsters of the Coast: www.hipstersofthecoast.com/2026/03/bake...

Blessed as hell with a #doubledonnyday, first from @cascadecascade.com:

Pacifism: A Visual History is now live! @donnycaltrider.bsky.social walks through the history of each copy of Pacifism - a card important to his own perception of the game. Loads of sick art & sketches & more inside. www.cascadecascade.com/pacifism-a-v...

one day you’ll understand yourself as a more complete gestalt and you’ll be able to say “Golgari, Sultai ascendant, void-of-course Lorehold.”

I was born in 1986, which means [adultswim] was load-bearing infrastructure: John Swartzwelder Mel Brooks Mitch Hedberg Adam Reed Maria Bamford Brendon Small Charles Portis Tina Fey The titan was Terry Pratchett, whose books I read obsessively from 12 on.

once again: it is that time of year

Ronald needs to adorn your torso, you need to read about Magic, it’s a win-win.

"i will do ANYTHING for my family" is what I say when my daughter wants to do my makeup and then play Kangaroo no matter how my knees are feeling

yeah im bummed about sora. bummed i sora bunch of stupid fake videos

It's so fitting that as we prepare to return to Strixhaven that I've started to write about the intersection of my career in student affairs with Magic, both as a game and a social phenomena.

honor the old gods and keep holy their feast days

Culling Ritual is one of the best cards Golgari can run and it’s underplayed as Sol hate. Cas does an excellent job of casting the Sol Ring debate as a microcosmic look at the meaning of Commander here:

Southland Tales is the only movie stupid enough to actually be prophetic about 2026

A2211.14 Rat defecates on octopus's head: origin of tubercles on head.

Relevant to the moment. The farmworker movement is not Cesar Chavez. It was (and is) a whole community of people doing the work.

I went to Delphi, strange place... smelly, place, [wafting gesture] smelly, and they told me... You know what they told me? They told me that all I had to do was invade Persia, and a great EMPIRE, an EMPIRE, would fall. Would you believe that folks? Would you believe that?

the people who complain most about "thought crimes" always mean something boring like, "I think I should be able to say slurs" instead of a real criminal thought, like "what if there were a potato that moaned when you ate it"

pta looking a little less like rod dreher, thank god

I drank one beer at 2 PM and laid down and pulled the earth over me like a blanket and snow fell and grass grew and I turned into a little hill

The pinnacle of oppositional deck design, Magic’s only post-modern deck archetype. It’s perfect.

Living in S.C. is tough for the politics and associated issues, but also because it was 86 degrees Fahrenheit at 8:57 last night. Upside? The porch was covered in these little fuckers, eating the early bugs and licking their eyeballs.

This is what Magic writing can be at its best and @mikecarrozza.bsky.social is Magic writers at their best. We’re lucky to be here and we’re lucky to have Mike at @cascadecascade.com.

Ryan rules. More charts in Magic writing!

the mtg/linguistics/trans nerds have translated "death before detransition" into phyrexian.

pay certain shit no heed, traveler

It actually rules to watch LLM centrism develop in real time. "Ok yes, tech bros are taking things way too far but LLM skeptics are just as silly, surely we can all agree that it's a transformative new technology and we all need to get onboard" and like, bro. Bro. We know who's side you're really on

AGENT ASHCROFT? WELL HOW THE HELL ARE YOU? UMBRELLA? GOOD IDEA, YOU NEVER KNOW WITH THIS WEATHER.

Spanish studios are putting out sick shit:

happy monday new article tomorrow

Some news: I’m writing a book about zoos and modern humanity's precarious place in nature! As a lifelong Zoo Guy and animal obsessive, I feel very lucky to have this opportunity. It's still very much a work in progress, but I think you'll really enjoy it when the time comes.

I love Econ-positng. Dan Habsmith of Guttermeyer Associates posts the most confusing chart you've ever seen and says "Quite surprising VARG numbers, SPLG index showing movement" and you get the context by one of his mutuals quoting it with "Buy a fucking gun and head for the hills. Right now."

A Lore Thread: back in 2014, my girlfriend and I drove up to Saxapahaw to see a “Boys Rock for Girls Rock” charity show at Haw River with The Love Language, @themountaingoats.bsky.social, and Phill Cook. On the way up, we listened to Christine Fellows’ Nevertheless repeatedly.

Incredible work here—insight from experts and a peek into the process of making Magic happen.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Accountability post: misapprehended the concept (my bad, as the concept rocks).

WE’RE DOING SOMETHING FUN FOR THIS.

I’ve been so excited about Cascade Cascade for a while now, and it feels great to be able to share it finally. This project is something entirely new and entirely in the hands of the community—we hope you’ll join us over at the new site.

Cas’s latest is an important and thoughtful piece that locks in to the TMNT discussion—check it out:

Yall. The response of this has been nothing short of awesome. Thank you. Dan & I really set out with the dream of “what if we could get our favorite mtg writers in a room & cook?” Getting to accept outside pitches seemed like a fever dream but we’re already approaching money points where (cont)
