The sparkling water I buy comes in 36 oz. bottles and has 0 calories per 12 oz. serving. But a full bottle has 15 calories. I beat the system by drinking them one serving at a time.

The sizes of my work laptop and my phone are converging.

The gold medal-winning USA women's hockey team declining the White House invitation because of prior commitments and then patiently waiting while those prior commitments become a party with Flavor Flav in Vegas is just a remarkable story.

Got an incredibly cool gift in the mail today: the Igniting The Spark Blu-ray! If you haven’t seen this documentary on Magic’s origins, it’s still streaming in a bunch of places so you don’t have to come over. But you could. Bring snacks. #WotCstaff

I maintain my stance that the US women and CAN men winning gold was the best possible mini-timeline within this overall less-than-ideal timeline.

Grapefruit: Like an orange, but gross

Well, I was pulling for Canada, but a USA gold is the next best thing. Happy for Jack Eichel and Noah Hanifin! #VegasBorn

Time zones were a mistake. #Olympics

Spreading the word one more time: @tomgrossi.bsky.social has been streaming for almost a week straight to raise $1 million for charity. We’re $120,000 away and not going to sleep until we get there. #grossiposse www.youtube.com/live/1uBx5Ll...

Don’t be, like, shocked if Ride of Sorrows shows up at an Unknown event this year. @gavinverhey.bsky.social #WotCstaff

We suspected we were, but we're getting USA vs. Canada for the men's hockey gold. Let's gooooooo.... #Olympics

Watching CAN/FIN with my wife. Her: What is the Ride of Sorrows? Me: What? Her: Announcer said he was taking it in to the Ride of Sorrows. Me: To the *right* of (Finnish goalie Juuse) *Saros* Her: This is why hockey is usually at 7pm, not am.

They just gave you Gavin? Pretty sure we weren't done with him. #WotCstaff

This has come up in events I’ve run at #MagicCon before as well. You are, of course, welcome to use substitutes for the Power Nine. But you don’t have to. Image unrelated.

Green Bay, Wisconsin: Fondue

What a game. 3-on-3 is obviously an abomination, but it sure was exciting.

The United States is running out of time. (This is only a hockey post. Calm down.)

Unreal finish. Congrats, #TeamUSA Women's Curling!

For the second year in a row, @tomgrossi.bsky.social is streaming until he raises $1,000,000 for charity. He's in hour 76 and is creeping up on halfway there. #GoPackGo #GrossiPosse www.youtube.com/live/LBKIGDn...

I know no one else caught it in the moment, but I'm just imagining what was going through the minds of Czechia's six guys in the group hug celebration after their third goal. "Uh... okay, no one say anything..."

There's a Game Editor position open on the D&D team. Want to sit in the same building I do on occasion and help craft the adventures of tomorrow? (I assume. No real idea what they do, but it seems fun!) careers.hasbro.com/careers?quer... #WotCstaff

Remember the words of your teacher, your master. Evil moves fast, but good moves faster. It's #MTGxTMNT mechanics! magic.wizards.com/en/news/feat... #WotCstaff

Imagine being given only half a shell but still rising to become a hero. Come, hear their inspirational tale. #MTGxTMNT #WotCstaff

Two days ago, it was the Pokemon Intermission Report during Olympics hockey coverage. Today, it's the Pokémon Intermission Report. @hvbeg.bsky.social, is this your doing?

It's been a particularly busy week, so I was unwilling to set a 7:30am alarm to see the Canadian men play hockey this morning. I did wake up in the middle of the second period though and caught the rest of the game. Boys are on track! #Olympics

Of course I’ll be your Valentine. Of course Valentines get extra pets. Of course Valentines get more food than their brothers. HEY WAIT A SECOND!

Replaying for a new social media platform. Happy Valentine’s Day. #WotCstaff Some cards are red. Some cards are blue. We know which are which Thanks to rule 105.2.

For reasons it's best I don't explain, I had occasion to look up Search Elemental on Scryfall for the first time a few minutes ago. That is SO cute. #WotCstaff

The Canadian men and American women both playing hockey at noon doesn't leave much monitor left for me to get work done.

Rooting for USA women’s hockey more or less because of country partisanship, but I’m squarely behind Canada’s men’s hockey team, the most Golden Knights team in the field. #Olympics

Age verification? I verified I was legally authorized to discover the whereabouts of one Carmen Sandiego using an almanac.

“There’s a biter in the house.” —Me, to my cat, smugly showing off the curling terms I pick up every Olympics and lose about a week later

For our anniversary dinner tonight, my wife and I would like to recreate our first date, which means dinner at Chili’s. The closest one is at the airport past security though. Currently unclear how committed to this bit we are.

Turns out I know the people behind the MrBeast puzzle during the #SuperBowl. I wasn't trying to solve it or anything, but finding out I know who wrote it probably disqualifies me anyway.

The halftime show was in a language I didn’t understand, had symbolism and meaning I didn’t comprehend, and celebrated a culture I’m not a part of. And I was enthralled. Loved every minute. I can only imagine what it meant to those who saw not only an entertainment spectacle, but themselves.

Am I happy the Seahawks won? No. But am I happy for my many friends and coworkers who will be thrilled with this result? Also no.

Way more butt movement in commercials this year than I was expecting. #SuperBowl

That halftime show was unbelievable. I’m floored.

Halfway home on my National Anthem under 120.5 seconds and Chambea as opening number parlay. #SuperBowl

The Patriots are tied for second in my rooting hierarchy, so my #SuperBowl hopes are clear. 1. Packers 2. The AFC 3. NFC South 4. NFC East 5. LA Rams 6. Cardinals 7. Wisconsin 8. 49ers 9. Football ceasing to exist 10. Vikings 11. Lions 12. Humanity ceasing to exist 13. Seahawks and Bears

Happy Bad Bunny Day to all who celebrate.

Caught up with #StarfleetAcademy over the weekend. I have my quibbles with the details of some of the writing, but the cast is really strong. If you told me we were considering bequeathing the whole franchise to Tawny Newsome, you'd have my vote.

#MagicCon won't be the same without you. Please apply! #WotCstaff

Somehow, I don’t think my four PT appearances from 80 years ago are going to get me in the running. But maybe you’re more qualified? #WotCstaff

1. Game is great fun. If you're there, definitely stop by. 2. #MagicCon is in May?! That's a month that's almost here! Eek! #WotCstaff

So many memories in these photos. So many familiar faces. We were children. Kai was younger than I am. So much of life is luck.

I didn't know Kai very well, but I met him a few times as a judge and then again as #WotCstaff. You were always happy he was around, even if you were never happy if he was your opponent. An absolute legend.

The way costs and effects are sometimes talked about, it's easy to think that they never overlap, but that isn't true. Costs appear inside of effects all the time. Any time you see "[Do something.] If you do, [do something else]," that first action is a cost, per 118.12, inside of the effect of ...

Not really concerned with MIT Mystery Hunt spoilers at this point, and this isn't much of one anyway... that Taylor Swift puzzle (Tortured Programmers Department) did *not* go where I expected it to. What a journey.

I made this card, so if you think exponents are scaring me off, you’re not even close. (Zero, however, is even.) #WotCstaff
