Are you sure you don't want to trade for pigeon freezing to death? 👉👈

Everyone else's pigeon fucks.

January's crow gets a daisy.

The thing about December birthdays is they're always finding new ways to make you feel like shit about it

TIL that claiming your GrubHub order contains chunks of human flesh only complicates things for your AI agent

Something in your lens barrel. Gotta blow it out and it should be able to open.

When my 16 creatures have 23 total creature types, the limited environment is needlessly complicated. Especially when we're pitching Universes Beyond as an onramp for new players, creature type actually matters, but so many of these DON'T.

Finally saw this yesterday. Thought cancer was done emotionally kicking my teeth in but, almost a year after losing my father in law, it felt as raw as ever.

If you've been putting off seeing it, stop. It's beautiful.

Nice of them to include the swords on here, but a real pro breaks those Swisher Sweets down with their thumbs

It was sunny when it snowed
but my younger neighbor
shoveled my sidewalk.

This is a midwest insult.

I will challenge him
to a fight
tomorrow.

Just as soon as he's done
riding his motorcycle
and playing in his band
and tuning his motorcycle

then,
we'll fight.

One time this dude comic we worked with was having a bit of a diva moment and after confronted by the women working on the project sent an email that ended with, "I thank the lady spirit that moves through all things" with total sincerity. I think about this often.

The History of the Instant and the Time of Play On games and how we learn time from them

doubling up on my thots this week, I wrote about the funny relationship between the Instant time--including the history of Interrupts and THE BATCH!!

Give it a read!

My DCI number was 52403. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned you could stack your deck in Apprentice when dc'd. I needed IRC to find games. We were here from the beginning. We made Magic. You wouldn't have made the JSS. I have bulk older than you.

You can read the first piece today for free. It's incredible. Stuff will jump behind a paywall eventually AFAIK. This is a good thing. Paywalls for good things go a long way to helping creature more good things.

My first piece will be up soon and gives a roadmap to improving your limited game without spending any money. Drafting is expensive. You should make it count.

What Cal and Dan have put together is impressive as hell. The curation of McSweeney's meets the DIY ethos of a poorly Xeroxed socialist newsletter. It's a triumph of breadth AND depth in Magic writing, all while compensating contributors fairly.

If you’ve missed my Magic writing, it has a new home: @cascadecascade.com

I’m contributing as regularly as I can, but it's a stacked roster. It’s the hands down the most ambitious publication, Magic or otherwise, I’ve been part of in a long time.

Outside of tossing in a B or C art, I don't know how much funnier this could get.

For those who aren't interested in the Highlights Magazine of it all, we have:
Only two Forests instead of three
ONE total from Unlimited (should have been 11)
A random smattering of Revised and what looks like 4th Edition?

Wild stuff, folks.
