Started a Magic: The Gathering magazine with my friends and despite that being an incredibly niche thing, we already have a hundred paying subscribers in under a month. The people yearn for cool stuff someone wrote for them.

Slay The Spire is maybe the best post-baby video game because it basically lets me clap my two remaining brain cells together at the end of the long days

an inversion of the conservative 'we are charlie kirk' thing is, perhaps, the tendency among lonelier folks on the left to see 'popular' people online with good politics as close personal friends — who, invariably, can only betray them. the world sucks but you gotta go outside and make a friend.

Really being made to eat our freedom fries on this one

If you got in on the ballet and opera mass psychosis thing last week you do not get to Worm Out with Dune Nation

These were my top ten of 2025. I like movies and thought it was a very good year for them.

Orchestral rendition of Dirty Work, that’s what it’s all about baby

The world is done with Grogu and has sentenced him to die

Wish I could get this as an oil painting

My wife’s schemes to claim the last banana are becoming increasingly sophisticated

Start listening to podcasts without famous people in them, I promise you they're better!! I don't even have a podcast, you can take this as unbiased advice!!

Six year old text

I feel insane. That was his entire point!! He wasn't trying to do stan rivalry with ballet and opera!!

the man's still got it

Each day, I learn more about my daughter and who she's gonna be. For instance today she threw her bottle aside and lunged to simultaneously grab a diet coke and a knife

I think it rocks that a meaningful portion of the population believes in "rapid clones" I think that shit is good for us probably

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.

The thing about car culture is that I can’t abide an ideology that pits you against people reveling in the first warm days of spring.

Do kids still have a Flogging Molly phase or do they just listen to Flogging IPHONE? Like and subscribe for more memes about being 35-44 years old!!!!

I think it's fine to hope that the idiots in charge are humbled in some way but the minute I see somebody posturing as though they hope there's some sort of attack on American soil, they become an eighth grader wearing an anarchy tee shirt to me

Getting really flustered during battle because my sword makes a flirty little "ooh!" sound instead of a "clang" every time it hits another sword.

really good quote from the article- applies to anything, not just magic. accept the gift and make it your own.

Ryan's been one of my favorite Magic writers since I read his piece about Dominarian stained glass a couple years ago. Just a super insightful guy with a real love for this game. We're super excited to have him writing for @cascadecascade.com

I've been so excited to share this: for CASCADE CASCADE, I interviewed Miguel Lopez, the former WOTC writer and worldbuiler who helped create the Edge (of Eternities), Ixalan, & more. we discuss the proliferation of tiny, irrelevant, beautiful details in the worlds of Magic. give it a read!

Marketing used to be cool

The Anime Sickos is the only podcast. You might think there are others but there actually aren't

Accidentally painted a pretty bleak picture at the corner store. Didn’t help my cause by meekly saying “I call it Daniel Cola”

I hate whatever marketing person figured out that I only open emails from real people and started hiding spam from companies behind random names like Ronald Baninus

So apparently Polymarket is letting you bet on the likelihood of a nuclear attack by certain dates. We all must continually bet on the closer dates, lowering their potential payout so that government insiders are less incentivized to pick them

One of the crimes of AI has been the destruction of the beautiful "my nephew made this logo for me on his computer!" energy from all the hyper-local plumbers and taco shops. AI slop on white work vans is a crime against humanity.

Always funny to meet a person who sincerely thinks that society should collapse, at which point they will probably play a key role in helping construct a new one.

Even ignoring the political stuff, they locked everything up in plastic safes and cut the number of employees per store so shopping there became a miserable experience where you have to ask a visibly exhausted person to release the deodorant for you. The fake shoplifting crisis of 2020 cost them big

during the composition of every post, your computer or phone should take a discrete photo of you that is forcibly attached to the post upon publishing

"Dark Ritual's current oracle text simple reads "Add BBB," the Magic equivalent of "I am."

There's a reason Rob's one of the greats. His work closes the gap between our hobbies and our "real" lives, lending gravitas to the time we spend on the things we love and helping us make sense of ourselves. Also he started this piece with a David Berman quote so he had me at hello here.

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)

People always act like any downward trend that lasts longer than a single human lifespan must just be old people opining about the good ol' days but sometime shit does get worse for real!

🚨ALERT🚨 This Wednesday, my article for CASCADE CASCADE releases! I talk about those absurdly, seemingly unnecessarily minute details of Magic’s worlds—and I interview a stellar person who has helped create some of the game’s best worlds.

It's 2045. You're clocking in for your shift in the Tillyverse as a guy they all hunt Most Dangerous Game style. All the pain you feel is REAL and people can gamble on when you will SCREAM

Okay fine one more author announcement, like as a treat. @kathleen.loadingreadyrun.com.

Welcome to Issue 1 - it's go time. CASCADE CASCADE begins tomorrow - but here's a bit of an introduction to us, what we're about, our FIRST MONTH of articles, subscription options (YOU CAN SUB BY BUYING A T-SHIRT BTW), and other fun stuff. www.cascadecascade.com/welcomein/

seeing a blinding flash on the horizon and rushing to open up Kalshi because I only have a few seconds to insider trade before the shockwave hits

Love Post-AI warfare. All the fake stuff looks real at a glance, all the real stuff seems a little fake. I have no idea who's actually alive or dead. Hopefully, an emissary of the king will ride through town to give us word from the front.

My theory for why people aren’t more enraged about this is that “betting on things you shouldn’t bet on with information you arent supposed to have” describes most of the “traditional“ ways to get rich in the US

Duncan Idaho...further proof that 'what if a guy was awesome' is a great idea for a character

Spam emails are getting awesome

I don't know how you see stuff like this and don't think that there needs to be a seismic shift in how we interact with the internet

During lockdown, some friends and I bought a Zoom Magic Show for my friend's birthday and the magician kept talking about how he was waiting for results from a covid test and we assumed it was a semi-poor-taste bit for the show but at the end he was just like oh no it's positive, that's not good

Kinda feel like this has to end with a second constitutional convention, weve gotta take it from the top if we ever want to come back from this
