The opportunity to "waste" word count on things like "what are the club kids drinking on New Capenna these days?" was a lot of what made me want to write the book. (Go ahead, ask me about my New Capenna Etiquette Guide. Which I wrote, so I could reference it.)

I saw Hoppers with the kids over the weekend, and man, it was so much better than I was expecting (my expectations were low, TBH). I also didn't expect for it to also sort-of confirm all the talking animal Pixar movies take place in the same universe.

Man since Ultra Pro lost the Magic license no one else seems interested in stepping up and making affordable themed deck boxes, huh?

I’ll pass on $25-50 ones, thanks.

I get how Mike would think that, since Muslims actually like Jesus’s teachings and his brand of Christians don’t.

Wave 2 of the TMNT x Godzilla toys look great. MechaGodzilla-Shredder is incredible.

If you catch me out drinking one night, I promise some truly unfiltered thoughts (within NDA, even drunk you’re not prying secrets out of me). But believe it or not, I don’t post my every opinion to social media.
