there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.

important to revisit the words of the Founding Fathers on this day

getting married to Taylor Swift in MSG by Adam Sandler is something a 14-year-old Make A Wish kid would want

@narukamiknight.bsky.social I just read your piece about minimalism on Cascade Cascade and I wanted to tell you how much it spoke to me. It validated a lot of feelings I have been having lately as I work to pare down my collection and decks. I love your writing <3

this doesn't even have the full context which makes it funnier

This has such a huge impact on people in rural areas who have to deal with ISP monopolies with unusable speeds. The industry wants to act like the infrastructure is there for this to be the way forward, but big tech is just trying to leave poor people behind.

Anyone have a Narci deck? Tinkering with mine and I feel like I’m being pulled in too many directions 😭

This game rules 4x3.fun

New in for Raffine 😍

I've seen enough. Just generally

Casting Tablet > Milling a Stock Up you can play that turn > casting the Stock Up with the 2 mana from the Tablet feels like drugs. I'm having a lot of fun with Standard right now.

RIP Ron Spears. One of the most iconic mtg artist, really sad news.

This is the dumbest goddamned resist lib shit I've seen since the Marshall of the Supreme Court was going to arrest the whole trump administration in 2016 or whatever. Planting random bamboo is far more likely to fuck up your own neighborhood than do anything to a data center

Going to be That Guy and say that this is a perfect example of why players who primarily play EDH should try 1v1 formats, especially eternal ones, because you can do whacky shit like this and not have it be a weird social interaction LMAO

tutoring up TPro to Balancing Act the table is certainly a choice at bracket 3!

Today is a momentous day for the workers of Arena! After months of planning, waiting and organizing, our dream is finally a reality; the votes have been counted, and our union of UWOTC-CWA has been officially elected. From this day forward, we have a union!

I've only done one draft of MSH so far but these are My Girlies

I want fewer magic sets, that take longer to produce, made by people who are paid more to make them, & I'm NOT joking.

Taylor once blew up a group chat I was in by accusing people of being “eugenicists” (at 2 am, no less) for leaving their house. I left and blocked her. Days later, she—an “investigative reporter”—messaged my husband to ask how to get in contact with me. My email (and phone) is public, lmao.

Just beat Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2 and I have a lot of thoughts

"name a movie that's better than the book I dare you" Muppet Christmas Carol. next

Had a horrible day, bought some new bling for Raffine and resleeved the deck in fresh sleeves 🩵🥲

Unreasonably proud of this

I am in such a deckbuilding slump right now and it is driving me insane 😭 I have made like 20+ Moxfield drafts in the last couple weeks and nothing is speaking to me. Everything feels paint-by-numbers

someone on tumblr said it better than i could

star wars should be about one boomer's political special interests played out with space wizards and robots

Look at this absolute angel baby 🥹

Man, @saffronolive.bsky.social really cooked here, putting in an article what i've been feeling the whole time www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/why...

New ORod album is incredible

Turns out Captain loves @quivertime.com…might have to get her one 🥹

this is how liking magic the gathering feels when you stop looking at social media & just play the game & realize it all rules & always has ruled

Playing through Spider-Man 2 and the thing that drives me absolutely insane is how the characters constantly speak. There is no peace. Every minute of every fight is NONSTOP little quips and commentary and it’s maddening

Not holding space for any of you tbqh

Very rough draft, but I threw it together in paper for tomorrow's EDH night. Definitely need to smooth some things out but goldfishing has felt pretty good so far

"The funniest possible outcome of the AI mandate era is about to be HR departments discovering that 'sincerely held religious belief' under Title VII has a much lower bar than they assumed, and Pope Leo handed every Catholic employee a written excuse" www.businessinsider.com/worker-got-r...

I don’t really want this deck to be commander-dependent so I am thinking about doing Rog/Ishai or Jeska/Ishai for the colors and to have Ishai as a beater in the command zone for the late game 👀

Graham Platner looks like a guy you have to assassinate at an inn in Whiterun during the Dark Brotherhood questline

can confirm (am a gin drinker)

Played a couple games with the Jeskai Black deck in standard and mama mia!!

Well, shit. RIP Marjane Satrapi

I have been playtesting a few decks on Moxfield because I am trying to find a new commander to build. And I know it gets said a lot but good LORD people really do not run enough lands lmao

it is in absolutely everybody’s best interests to develop some hobbies aside from Phone

Married for two years today 🩵

If you don't like it, you can stop using it at any time.

This snippet of Brennan Lee Mulligan and Matt Mercer talking about fighting the optimizing instinct in storytelling and the importance of the wind up and negative space really encapsulates what I think we've lost with a lot of games/movies/shows/etc these days www.youtube.com/shorts/jTh8C...

Just played a few games of Blue Moon in CanLander and these cards are messed up

I think for my next commander build I either want to find an old commander or a commander that provides zero card advantage. It feels too easy!
