Huh. A swastika on display in a Congressional Republican’s DC office? You don’t say.

While I wish you luck, I assure you I have less than zero influence on that. 😁

The official previews for the first Lorcana set I led design on begin today. It’s definitely bittersweet, but I want to put it out there that I’m grateful for the team that brought Whispers in the Well together, and I look forward to reading the excited reactions to what the world’s about to see.

Okay, I think I’m done with hearing the Fox Sports announcers reiterate ad nauseam that Seattle isn’t, according to them, worthy of competing with Toronto.

Was finally able to pick up a Jarren Duran jersey! (And yes, it’s supposed to be green 😁)

Gotta love Queen Anne (Seattle) newspaper boxes.

The Draft Cube is refreshed and ready to go! Added a load of fuel for the mana base — shocks, fetches, and more — and a few other spicy hits. Will be playing it at Cole Street Game Vault tonight!

This has got to be the absolute most unintelligent fascist movement in the history of the world. The GOP is propping up idiots and constitutional criminals.

According to Kristi Noem, Democrat leaders in Portland & Chicago are actively and successfully hiding all of the rampant domestic terrorism from the media & the public. They’re preventing the fallout of terrorism from happening, and that’s why they need to be arrested and their communities invaded.

Did a 2-player draft with my original Magic cube last night, and it was all-caps FUN. Had a turn where I used Defense of the Heart to cheat Emrakul into play, cast & used Legacy Weapon, swung with a 14/17 Sythis (with two Batterskulls), and then won the next turn with a Simic Ascendancy. So stupid.

I din’t mind most reposts; a lot of the ones I see are clever responses to news posts, and those are nearly always fine in my book.

I can’t fault someone for using their personal bsky account as a way to aggregate all their favorite stuff (like Pinterest), but *can* unfollow when necessary.

Ha!

Sean Fletcher, Maker of Games @gamemakerfletch.bsky.social · 12d

Ah, yes, figured it out. One person I follow(ed) had been reposting nearly every other TS post anyone ever posted on bsky. Unfollowed, and now I can see through the windshield again.

I’m not a Taylor Swift fan (not a hater either, not by a long stretch), but the algorithm’s got my feed AT LEAST 95% full of Swiftie posts, and it’s getting tiresome.

Isn’t there anything else going on in the world?

a tweet by Dana Gould @danagould that says:

Thinking about Rush Limbaugh and how, now that he's dead, you never, ever hear about him. No one mentions anything he did.
Because what he did had no value.
It contributed nothing worthwhile to the culture. Nothing of lasting value.
He just made anger. Every day.
Rising, blooming & fading like a fart.
Then he died & was instantly replaced by a fleet of little replicas, farting fake fury five days a week.
Creating nothing of interest or artistic value to anyone.
Seriously, what an awful way to make a living.

Ready for AL Wild Card Game 2!

Yesterday’s game was awesome. Too superstitious to say much more than that!

Not only am I now an owner of an officially-recognized licensed business in the State of Washington (again), today I filed BUSINESS TAXES! How ‘bout that?!

Last night’s family game night: Quacks of Quedlinburg. Smalls got a couple of really good turns early, and there was no catching up. Good for him!
