The monument there is to William Wallace aka Braveheart. The European premiere of the film was held on campus right before my sophmore year.
This is the view in the opposite direction towards the city.
My old University's campus. Probably my favorite place in the world, though I've not been back in years.
London itself has a population just shy of Sweden.
Always fascinating watching people underestimate the size of London vs other UK ciries.

On an average weekday, more journeys are made on JUST the Elizabeth line than the ENTIRE population of Liverpool.

If the Tube was a city, its average daily passengers would make it the 2nd largest in the UK.
God bless Emma Thomson.

Tagging @dixonij.bsky.social and @nerdtothecore.com because they're in the picture.
Holy shit... that means we've been friends for damn near 30 years. Miss you mate.
28 years ago I pushed a man through the streets of Stirling in a Shopping trolley.
Happy birthday @nastybirdy.bsky.social

My kids now have a morbid fear of me depressing the red triangle - the hazard warning light button - on the car because when they were little and arguing I told them it activated the ejector seat.
Blame JLK. He's a loud voice and well known hater of the card.
I don't run many of them, but my coloured pip heavy Dragons deck likes it, as does my Jeskai Artifacts deck.
I'm not sure it's worth it in less than 3 colours or with good fixing, bit its perfectly decent.
I see a lot of people posting about the world series.
Apparently there's a chance the game delays spring practice.
Left wrecked by sport. Right just worn out.
I was a ZX Spectrum kid though.
Traditionally nasty. Thanks.
Had my dentist tell me "this root canal should have been crowned ages ago" so I have two sessions of whatever the fuck that is to look forward to.
Yeah... i did get confused aboit that when I was building my Soldiers deck.
FWIW the idea doesn't per se bother me, but I still think hybrid mana symbols should count as both colours for identity snd deck building restrictions. It just feels like how it should be.
In fairness, the whole "detectives aren't just Azorius" thing aside, the story of MKM was good. The set mostly sucked, but let's not allow the failure of the design team to besmirch a fun narrative.
I will not try to get a Secret Lair again unless they go back to POD. I spent 90minutes in a queue a couple of weeks ago to see what I wanted sold out apparently to scalpers.

Okay, this is adorable.

Alexandre MacIsaac (currently 11-2-0 @ #SpotlightSpiderMan) has a one-off copy of Poison Dart Frog in his sideboard.

Alex can't cast it, but the card is his deck mascot. Just a lil' guy hanging out in the sideboard, and apparently he does this for all of his decks.
There's a good ending? I got a guilt trip about strangling the horse...
Yesterday I finally strangled a horse. I think I must have chosen every option possible before finally commiting equine asphyxiation.
Because when you wake up at 3am and can't sleep of course you go and do a bunch of Magic deck adjustments. The stuff that was swirling in my head now done maybe, just maybe, i can get a couple more hours of sleep.
