The last sentence is a 3 for 1: It explains the statistical drop, is very funny, and is kind of frightening.

Positive side effect about “talking about politics” (which is really just acknowledging what’s happening now and has been for generations) is that you get to cull your follower list of people without empathy.

So, how much Time Spiral do we have to buy to get them to switch back to old frames? After seeing them, it’s clear that Magic cards just look better that way.

7-0 for $2000 with the best sealed deck I've ever opened (no exaggeration).
I cast Mascot Exhibition at least once literally every game, and the only limit to how many times I was going to cast it was my opponent conceding.

Can’t say whether it was worth it, because there’s a ton of money involved, but it seems to me that Robinhood just traded their company’s future off in an attempt to save these hedge funds (obviously it’s corrupt as hell, but I’m just looking at the strategy).

About to play in what’s likely the last premier Magic event for me for quite some time, and it’s the end of an era. Magic has brought so much into my life, and even if the future as a competitive outlet isn’t clear, it’s still the game I love. I’ll be waiting to see what’s next.

Not sure why, but this season really got to me, culminating in me getting way too invested in the results of this weekend. I really don’t like the state it put me in, so I’m gonna take a breather and focus on the multitude of good things that I’m lucky enough to have going on.

As someone who loves trolling and engages in it frequently, I hate it when people twist the term and use it as an excuse to be vile human beings. Being a bully isn't clever or funny.

I am impressed that the post-debate commentators on CNN itself called it a dumpster fire and a shitshow (verbatim). It doesn’t actually help, but at least they are able to call it like it is.

Coming into day 2 at 4-4 in the highest stakes tournament I’ve ever played. A good finish may net me a Worlds / MPL slot, and a bad one means I probably miss those and Rivals both. What my next year looks like hinges on today, so now would be a great time to get (really) lucky.
