Casual reminder that your brain is an asshole that does not have your best interests in mind. Tell it to fuck off on a regular basis.

Keep on. Keeping on. youtu.be/PgCe-4t4sqk?...

"In their 40's" applies too. But also, I loved this movie so much. Such a delightfully batshit insane three hours, in all the good ways.

When part of of the movie Witness was filmed in my hometown of Intercourse, Pennsylvania, they made these shirts for the cast and crew because, in that area, my last name was as common as Jones. I assume it still is. Amish families weren't notable for their lack of offspring.

In my dive into late 19th century politics and seeing how the chambers of Congress behaved, largely to the better of all of governance, seeing this kind of rebuke soothes my soul.

I’m gonna need you guys to exercise some critical thinking skills.

Yeah this movie is my obsession right now. "Welcome to the most dangerous planet in the universe where everything is trying to kill you" That is life. Everything else wants you dead. Your choice to live confounds expectations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDL3...

I see people on local FB groups posting about wellness and meditation nights and I am like... Have any of you watched Badlands? Are you engaging with art or just your own ego? Ego will fail you. Be you.

I don't know who this dude is. I don't care. If you're under 18 you cannot legally give consent. If you're having sex with someone under 18 you're committing rape. It is black and white. Fuck this equivocation. This isn't difficult for anyone with a brain and a soul.

Spent the fall of 1993 at my first store before it closed fielding calls for Magic and having no idea what they were talking about. Jan of 1994 walk into another local store. Buy a revised starter deck with a friend to play a game. Get my face smashed by a Force of Nature and have been hooked since.

I use the word failure regularly. And I find many people recoil and I have to explain further. Failure isn't inherently good or bad. It is an observation. It is a learning opportunity. You can be successful but also still fail. Just dodge the critical failures and learn from the smaller ones.

The Fisher King is the best kind of emotional gut punch to this day.

If you need me, tap me on the shoulder. I’ll be happily working all day listening to this on a loop.

In my burgeoning obsession with this movie, watched this trailer tonight. "You are hunting something that cannot be killed." What an effing metaphor. You cannot kill your desire for approval and acceptance. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDL3...

I have never QP'd one of these before. But... Let me tell you, as an entrepreneur, the VAST majority of people are either not even remotely capable of it, or even a little interested. WHICH IS OK! It is not a choice for everyone! But forcing everyone to engage in that mindset is madness.

Leave it to Walter Chaw to be the first reviewer I have seen to zero in on the found family angle of this fantastic movie. Son sets out to prove his worthiness, but figures out dad was just an asshole the entire time and these new people are pretty cool.

I had a thing happen at my stores this week where there was a failure of effort or communication. Still have to figure out which. But. I'm typing this because I spent several hours today thinking about if my approach to addressing the failure would be effective or helpful or correct.

Wrapped up watching this and I'll be posting more, but I just need to put out there that Death By Lightning is great and worth your time. None of you know the history of Garfield, but you should. This series takes many storytelling liberties, but sticks the landing. www.netflix.com/tudum/articl...

@alamodrafthouse.bsky.social if you're going to open your theater on Thursday nights maybe considering having the bar open? I want to give you more money and you keep finding ways to make it harder.

The idea that someone in a position of power is capable of love and care and lifting others up is crucial. The answer to harder times is to be more kind and more soft. He might be indestructible, but Superman is the softest one there is.

Stay alive out of spite.

No notes.

It is late on a Sunday night so no one is watching so I'll share that one of the nice things about 2020/21 were videos like this that made introverts like me at home feel included and invited. For me, the quarantine videos were an affirmation of my existence. I'll never forget any of them.

I slightly underrated the second Godzilla & Kong movie. It's got thoughtful things to say about adopted vs. biological families and what growing up in an abusive home does to one's moral compass and self-esteem. Also, there's a giant ice dragon that breathes ice, and Kong gets a mechanical hand.

“FUCK AI” is turning into a movement. After his Frankenstein Q&A at the Chinese Theater, Guillermo del Toro asked the audience to scream “FUCK AI.”

As a Rangers fan, that third place really stings.

Really excited about this episode of our Organized Money podcast. It's about loyalty programs. They hook you with promised discounts, hack your data to learn everything about you, and hike your prices. Sam Levine and Stephanie Nguyen from Lina Khan's FTC come on to talk about it.

One thing that just lands like an anvil in this song is "The light is always on, just keep that in mind" Mom always insisted there was room under her roof for me, no matter what. When it came time to be the roof for her, it wasn't easy, but I was never not going to do so. youtu.be/Om_VWBua0_M?...

Post a perfect album from the 90’s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice in Chains.

Got my pupils dilated today for the first time in quite a while. And my gosh. Looking at my computer screen feels like staring into the sun. 😄

If you need any confirmation of how big of a nerd I am/have always been, one year my Halloween costume was a D6. I took a box and painted it white. And then painted the numbers on a D6 on the sides of the box. Six was my butt because One was obviously my head and it saved me effort.

This episode of Community changed my life. The funny thing is that, when listening to the DVD commentary, they talked about the show being over budget and needing to do a bottle episode. And that episode was brilliant. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnI3...

Good advice from Stavvy. www.vulture.com/article/stav...

Since no one is looking late on a Saturday night, I'll throw out into the world that if you think Midtown and the other top ten comic accounts are getting 52 off their Marvel comics through PRH, you're fucking delusional.

This is till not at 1m views, so here I am. Watch this delightfully wonderful and heartfelt song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKf1...

This is insane inducing but... actually kinda smart for the people selling the options on tariff refunds. Get cash in hand now to improve flow and enhance the balance sheet makes sense.

Retailer friends who sell Magic, take note!

Last week, we gathered, and together we created the largest Cube event of the year. Why did we do that? (🧵) #mtgcube #CubeCon2025 1/7

Easy easy

Mark my words - within 10 years the Mavericks will be playing in an arena on the Red River in Oklahoma. The Adelsons will get their arena/casino come hell or high water, and they are proven untrustworthy stewards of the franchise. Besides, getting to Thackerville is easier than Downtown Dallas.

Keep on. Keep on. Keep on keeping on. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbow...

This is a thing I just found out about. U2 being awarded this prize is absurd. Absurdly wealthy musicians who coddle to billionaires on the regular? Gross. Guthrie would have told U2 in 2025 to get fucked. woodyguthriecenter.org/about/woody-...

I really miss the days when "goat" meant this guy.

I'm back from #mtg #cubecon2025 and have thoughts to share here! First, especially in light of discussions abt the future of Magic, I realized one thing. Cube is punk. Cube is about community. It's about creating your own world. It's about pushing past the expectations and limitations.

Happy CubeCon Eve!! As you prepare yourselves tomorrow we want to show you the art for this year's playmat which once again features artwork from the incredible @jordanlablond.bsky.social!! This one DESERVES to been in person and all of its intricate details studied and highlighted!

This year, CubeCon is raising money for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention in honor of our dear friend Jonathan Brostoff, who we tragically lost 1 year ago. Please consider tuning in and donating to this important cause.
