Oh, I miss the days when the only AI anyone would bring up all the time is Allen Iverson.

These people continue to misunderstand just how bad capitulating to the right really is for them. The right won't show them any different treatment that benefits them and the left won't trust them again after that. It's a lose lose, but they keep failing the assignment. Madness.

Looking into Hornets Courtside/Club seats for one of the dates I've got planned for the season and ICC Club seats might be the move. Gets you right down near the action and the price isn't nearly as high.

That is indeed excellent news. Hopefully all goes well with whatever operations you need. I'll be sending good vibes your way.

I also updated my Spellslinger "I built this with bulk from my deckbuilding area" deck to be straight Izzet (it is) and to be a lot faster.

Hopefully @fosterdawson8.bsky.social appreciates this since Foster is the one that convinced me to get into this format fully.

For all my Value Vintage people in #MTG:

I finally built a deck for the format that wasn't just stuff I had in my bulk piles.

I have built Mono U Tron, inspired by a deck @fffreak.bsky.social played on a Modern VS video in the 2010s.

Turns out, Mindslaver? Still cheap and still good!

I assume that's a good thing! So yay! Good things and stuff are happening!

Indeed. Wrestlers seem very prone to it in particular. No idea why.

She absolutely is. Love her to death. Every chance I can try and see her, I'm there. Still can't believe I can call her a friend, but sure enough, I can.

Same. For me, I was happy he was speaking out against the tribalism in the fandom almost every chance he got, but after seeing him pull this shit, I honestly wish he hadn't bothered. I've got better people to lean on for that. Indi is one of them, the person I'm next to in my profile pic the other.

As long as I never have to see him on my TV ever again, I don't care what happens to him. He lost all the good will I had for him and I'm not the kind to give that shit back

I, of course, ordered the cards through @cardkingdom.com and used the code LRR for my favorite Canadians over at @loadingreadyrun.com .

Idk if a Value Vintage Friday Night Paper Fight is on the cards, but if it ever is, I'd watch it.

And the cards have been ordered. I took apart Pauper Tron to get the Tron lands and a couple other things and the rest was bought on CardKingdom. I'll finally have an actual Value Vintage deck now.

Jared, Excited Comic Guy @jrodbad.bsky.social · 21h

I understand. I have Tron built for Pauper, but I definitely would like to get Tron built in Value Vintage. I might need to take apart a couple Pauper decks to get most of the rest of the pieces for this.

Jared, Excited Comic Guy @jrodbad.bsky.social · 21h

Makes sense. I've actually found the deck I want to buy in paper. I hashed it out on Moxfield a few months ago and it seemed like the coolest build, so I'm gonna try a deck based on Mono Blue Tron from 2010s Modern that I loved seeing on SCG VS when Brad piloted it.

Jared, Excited Comic Guy @jrodbad.bsky.social · 21h

This reminds me I should probably build an actual Value Vintage deck that isn't "Shit I found in my bulk stacks next to my desk" since that pile didn't work how I wanted it to in goldfishing.

Just gotta figure out what I want to build. Your 8-Whack idea seems like a solid one.

And if you have an iPod Classic, you can flash mod that shit to carry as many gigs of flash storage as you can stand.

All hail the iPod.

If anyone ever needed a reason to set up a music server via whatever server software they'd like, this is probably the number 1 reason you could give.

Really isn't difficult to set one up and the upsides are enormous.

He was the guy that I would constantly see telling fans to stop with the toxicity and the tribalism, either in podcasts or on the socials. To see him completely go mask off is just highly unfortunate for a number of reasons.

Damo was right yet again: Some wrestlers are fuckin' stupid.

The Dustin Rhodes stuff doesn't surprise me much, but it's still incredibly disappointing to see from a guy that claims to be pro trans folks and, as far as wrestling fandom goes, has been banging the drum for fans to stop with the tribalism, talking about it a lot in interviews.

Just sad stuff.

I think the GOP knows that they're losing their grip on power, so they're trying every trick in the book to keep it, but the tricks aren't working because even the people that could help them are starting to refuse to help.

We will win this battle and they won't get the better of us.

Excellent that my home airport of Charlotte-Douglas is refusing to play along with Kristi Noem and the right's shit.

More of that, please.

Just in case you needed another reason to set up your own media server with Plex or Jellyfin.

You control what you listen to and you don't need an overly powerful PC to do it.

Nick Fuentes’s show is back on Spotify after having been previously banned.

Would not be surprised to see him back on YouTube at some point.

To give people a reason to stop hating Bryce Young every day of their lives.

We thank you for that, Atlanta.

I swear, everything Terry Pegula touches in sports turns to shit.

The Sabres are actively holding the sport of hockey back and even Josh Allen can't save the Bills.

I genuinely do wonder what dirt Terry has on Bettman to keep him in ownership of the Sabres.
