Thank you, Tom Waits.

This was not a mistake and he didn’t catch himself and make a correction mid-sentence. He was dog whistling to the Nazi wing of the MAGA voting base. He can barely keep himself from smiling after he says it.

Hail!

Why the fuck did they tell Tim Walz to stop calling them weird? They are so God damned weird.

Austin Walker is one of the coolest people in games and I felt so joyful getting to listen to this interview, where he dug into one of my games and put it in dialogue with one of his own. ✨

What is a deck? Is it simply a pile of Magic: The Gathering cards or can it be so much more? @kenlikescarbs.bsky.social investigates (inside of himself). www.cascadecascade.com/what-can-a-d...

If I pretend to turn down money from a high profile educational institution, do you think Peter Thiel will send me a pile of cash?

I keep getting clips of those two liberals talking to their fussy, conservative parents, and watching the father’s precipitous fall into baffling incoherence is starting to feel like elder abuse.

Bad time to be that comedian who did a pretty funny defense of Guy Fieri.

Am I too old to get a @mogwai.scot tattoo?

If, instead of the saxophone, music in the 80s had featured more trumpet, the era would've been remembered as brash instead of sleazy.

DCC funnel going pretty well so far.

Wild little find at the Bellevue Half Price Books—it’s @jonathantweet.bsky.social’s ON THE EDGE.

Hey, let’s share “to be read” piles! Here’s mine!

Reminder; we all have 8 days left to buy our Gorilla suits! Don't wait 'til the last minute!!

I just backed Realis on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/cru...

Even as a common, this would’ve become the biggest chase card in the Lord of the Rings MtG set.

Ever since Hot Rat Summer, my kid has been obsessed with rats. So, I made them a rat swarm deck, and fixed up the box.

Dreamt Michael Stipe got face tattoos.

In my last moments, folding into myself, I will likely feel the terror of the prospect of spending those last moments alone until, inevitably, it will occur to me that I have always been alone in here.

We're not going to make it.

Inspired by @playtowinmtg.bsky.social, I decorated my Uurg, Spawn of Turg deck box.

A brand new post about sympathy, empathy, and play. open.substack.com/pub/matthewj...

I used to call Nitzer Ebb “Mr. Ed.”

There is a new post on A Sympathetic Destroyer that explains what the heck a "sympathetic destroyer" is. matthewjsimmons.substack.com/p/what-is-a-...

multivitamin, fish oil, fiber supplement, iron glycinate, sertraline

This is such a rad idea. I'm keen to look at other people's character sheets--how people notate, do they doodle on them, do they use the ones a game provides or find interesting custom sheets.

We just launched the RPG Graveyard for free. You can upload your dead character sheet here: rpggraveyard.com #shadowdark #morkborg #dnd #ttrpg

Historic Mutagen Man deck I made for Arena. moxfield.com/decks/gnKQpA...

For what it’s worth, the TMNT mtg cards have a couple of pretty enjoyable oozes.

Epic morons

Found pairing in the horror section of Powell’s books, starring @kevinmaloney.net.

Get him, Freddy.

Made updates to my “Make the Big Frog Bigger” Pauper Commander deck. Feels like it works a little better now. moxfield.com/decks/gREvmL...

“I still haven’t been able to get over the fact that Tim Walz called me ‘weird.’”

More Draw Steel. Using my wooden mini from @justinsirois.bsky.social.

Totally.

Saturday night movie.

Someone absolutely destroyed me in a Lorwyn Eclipsed limited game using this card, so I modified an existing kithkin deck I found to make this Thoughtweft Imbuer PEDH deck. Still a draft, I think. moxfield.com/decks/B8sJkO...

Made an inexpensive Gilder Bairn pauper commander deck, because I like the little guy in his costume: moxfield.com/decks/sAYlov...
