Nice to see #OreCup maintains the primary feature of #MineralCup, making me make TOUGH choices! I’m #TeamCopper so I win either way, but #Bornite is just so pretty, a true rainbow 🌈 rock, and it was named after Ignaz von Born, which makes me think of Ignatz Mouse! Of such things are votes made/cast.

Octahedral crystals, polysynthetic twinning striations, super conductivity, and iridescent sheen? Yes, please. #carrollite

#OreCup R1M4: This match is coming hot from a hydrothermal vein as #Carrollite competes with #Bornite. Both are copper ores with a beautiful tarnish. You have 24 hours to decide!

#TeamCopper is going to make it through this match no matter what, so I'm free to vote for the prettier #Bornite. #OreCup

Just hearing the news about Sir Patrick Stewart retiring from acting. So much brilliance. So many iconic roles, but if I had to pick one (and thankfully, I don’t!), I’d choose his one-man show of “A Christmas Carol.” It’s a heart-strengthening banger! #SirPatrickStewart

It’s almost time for the first ever #OreCup. I predict a solid run for molybdenite, but that’s because I just love saying and typing molybdenite! #OreCup2025
It's time to make your predictions (and help us test the voting site). Which ore mineral do you think will win?

I regret to inform everyone that my pedantic brain couldn’t let me live until I knew whether or not dodger blue and blue jays blue are the same blue. They are ONE PANTONE NUMBER APART.

Wait, Ohtani took the loss. Does that mean he’s, gasp, human?
October 29, 2025 at 3:13 AM
Don’t worry Dodger fans, there are nine more innings left to play tonight, right?
October 29, 2025 at 3:07 AM
I’m glad I’m a neutral here. Extra inning World Series games are thrilling and exhausting if you win, but gut-punches when you don’t.
October 28, 2025 at 5:38 AM
I think it’s possible that Shohei Ohtani is maybe about as good as “El Maestro” Martín Dihigo. Not sure. Maybe the modern equivalent. Get into five Hall of Fames, and we’ll talk.

Diarrhea Donald. Yeah, I’m expecting that nickname to stick for awhile. A good long while.
October 19, 2025 at 5:10 AM
After watching this game tonight, I am left wondering if Ohtani is even the best Japanese player on the Dodgers at this point.

I kid. I kid. But wow, what a dominant performance from Yamamoto.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto is first player to throw a complete game in postseason since Justin Verlander vs Yankees Game 2 2017 ALCS

Yamamoto is first Dodgers pitcher with a complete game in postseason since Jose Lima vs Cardinals Game 3 2004 NLDS

It’s hardly a fresh take, but the #Tigers home unis are just so clean and sharp. Classic look. Classic style.

My wife & I are #Astros fans & pulling for the #Mariners, as we have many friends in the PNW. In fact, my wife, not a sports fan at all, started the 8th inning of G2 actually raising her voice: “Come on Mariners, PROVE SOMETHING!” I had to look over & make sure it was her. So, M’s, over to you now.

It’s a blue, blue, blue, blue, blue world! #Kyanite finally crowned champion after nine years in the Mineral Cup, including a second-place finish in #MinCup24!

I’ll call it now, #Tugtupite is going to be tough to beat in #MinCup26!

What a fun #MinCup25! Thanks again to everyone who made it so!
