Sometimes you just have to write out some words that are a bit disconnected and a bit frustrated and a bit angry and also a bit hopeful.

This sucks, because the full strength Sixers seem like a really fun team.
Update: I did indeed go 1-3, with a weird cantrip/recursion engine that was fun to play but definitely lacked top end. Playing 4 Ancestral Angers is absolutely a blast.
Losing your shit is a foundational part of basketball culture
candace parker and dwyane wade rock at calling NBA games because when something cool happens they lose their minds and celebrate it
#MTGStrixhaven prerelease #2 - Lorehold with a splash of black for some shenanigans. Lower half of the curve looks fun as hell, but the late game has me concerned. Feels like a 1-3 or 2-2 deck, but hopefully it’s fun to play! I’ll share the list at the end of the day and try to update this as I go!
1. Set the tone. Be friendly. Introduce yourself and indicate your pronouns. Perhaps offer a handshake, fist bump, or even just a smile. Ask about where they're from, how their event is going, etc.
2. Deck selection Discuss which bracket you want to play, and if you still have options, consider asking this question: "Are there any archetypes or play patterns you'd rather not play against?"
3. During the game Be a good sport when things don't go your way. Compliment your opponents when they make good plays. If they play a card you're fond of, tell them!
4. Cleanup Step Thank your opponents for the game, and perhaps ask if they're available for another one! If you enjoyed gaming together, consider swapping socials so you can game together at another event.
MagicCon Las Vegas is coming up, and some of you may have concerns about gaming with people you've never met.
This is a skill you can get better at. I think I'm pretty good at it
Strangers can become friends if you're intentional about your approach.
This is how I do things! I hope it's helpful.💖
Paul George is so goddamn smooth.

Cracking one open for @markjonesespn.bsky.social, His Eminence of Eloquence. It’s been a good run, excited for what’s next!
This is me and @drholmestuck.bsky.social at any given time - one of us talking in depth explaining a specific thing, the other nodding and occasionally saying “Wait, what the fuck? Explain that to me.”
Nice to see the Reverse Milkshake Duck.

i feel like the yankees are obsessed with playing baseball. almost every day they’re like oh, we’re gonna play a baseball game, or like oh, we’re gonna wear baseball uniforms today. and it’s just like, okay

As the Vision Design lead on Secrets of Strixhaven, my job was to figure out what the set should showcase. We build out a whole card set to do this. All cards change over development, with just those “showcase” points shining thru. Here’s a few examples: (1/7)

You have to be fuckin’ kidding me. Hopefully he’s okay - appendicitis can be pretty scary.
Wow, great job!!

My grandfather’s name was AB. Man of few words, I once asked why he was named that, he shrugged and said “Momma wasn’t creative.”
Anyways, cheering for R Mason for this reason.
yeah but what if instead of celebrating how cool this is we spend most of our time absolutely losing our minds over the best way to reform the draft lottery
