There are so many friends of mine who would spend actual money for the Low IQ hat if The Onion makes one.

Aight I have purchased yearly subscription to The Onion. The InfoWars tote was simply too much *value* to pass up.

Nvm this timeline is kinda nice

Remember when Cory Booker was a rising star in the party *because* he was allegedly good at motivating a base?

Yeah that dude's gone. Dems have gotta stop finger-wagging and earn votes.

(And also I 0-3'd a mtgo league, but being on mtgo at all is a sign that I am having a horrendous day.)

Out 30 bucks (and an entire day bc Riftbound is at 4, so I had to skip basically anything else), having spent approximately six seconds at the LGS. Fantastic.

Just running egregiously cold today.

Skip an RCQ to play Riftbound. Sign up on the website. Hennepin construction makes taking the bus annoying, so I Uber.

Riftbound is canceled, but a worker just straight up forgor to cancel the event. Again, bc of construction, I take another Uber home.

THAT'S MY GOAT THAT'S MY GOAT THAT'S MY GOAT

BEARS CAP BEARS CAP THAT'S MY VP

i review this same paper written by different authors no fewer than three times a year! all to argue that the dating game wants you to want to date the characters!

another year another paper reviewed arguing that romance otome games...rely on emotional/romantic investments in characters.

...yeah? like...

yeah.

i love academia but my god.

I don't talk about MPLS local politics as often as I should, so take my words however you will. But @elitalksmpls.bsky.social is a fantastic person who cares about this city like few people I have ever met. The MPLS DFL would be lucky to have the man as a vice chair.

The stepson should be shot.

did anyone actually think fudd wasn't going number one?

Yeah I still don't really know how that happened but like...it's Ben I guess

Someone's gotta take the blue shocklands away from poor Ben. May as well be you when you take his lunch money.

Like, this isn't sour grapes. I'm chaining 4-1s like nobody's business! But my GOD I haven't enjoyed a single match.

And it isn't Modern Horizons' fault! Modern has always been like this, except for Summer 2018 and a brief period in 2016 post-Eldrazi Winter! (And I guess Lurrus Hell and Oko Hell. Those formats sucked, but at least you got to make decisions. You just died on turn 12 for being wrong on turn 3.)

4 leagues and an RCQ in and I don't think I have had a single game that I thought involved more than one or two decisions. Most of the matches were decided at deck selection/pairings! Either I played one of the drag race decks that wants to bully RW and I am on Blink, or I open the Affinity Turn 2.

my lord modern is horrendous

returning to the format after playing standard for so many months in a row just makes every single non-game or boat race feel outright rancid. it is so disappointing that I won't be able to play Standard at NRG Indy.

Guess I'll play Riftbound? Idk man.

my lord this stasis deck looks miserable to stare down

zeke nnaji -7 in one minute.

brother.

I don't want to see a single non-Jokic minute at the 5 for Denver my lord

I am trying to find who I am supposed to talk to about UMN's entry but cannot find it for the life of me.

There is apparently a Big Ten Magic tournament? Does anyone know anything about this?

FUCK THE SKY SUCK AGAIN.

God damn it. I *hate* that Chicago sports does this so often!

If we were gonna give up anyway, why trade a top 5 pick for a 29 year old point guard to abort the rebuild? If Cardoso and Reese can't play together, why'd you draft her? This is all so stupid!

Mayor Wu has time to reverse course and she absolutely should.

We keep saying we want a smarter tomorrow. Then follow the research. continued LLM use is horrendous for children and their cognitive development.

The flavor of exiling cards from the bin for profit is so nice. We love some good, thorough archival research.
