Fan of the Seventh Doctor, Yasujirō Ozu, the Chicago (Red) Stars and CFC(W), and underplayed monoblue commanders. Argues about relevant product markets for a living.
I wonder to what extent a similar shift (in particular, the notion of collaborative storytelling and playing a game together) has in part motivated the expansion of EDH in MTG (which has accompanied a parallel spread of the game generally among underrepresented groups)

My "ballot"/top 10 and stats for the NYT 100 movies thing. Pleased that there's an overlap of four (including the #1), feels about right for a personal ballot.

The fact that someone would have a sign quoting *J Harvie Wilkinson* when arguing in FAVOR of due process rights would have been stunning in 2003!

It is truly their favorite playbook (Janus overruling Abood is the example that always comes to mind, but Justice Kagan's dissent in Loper Bright lays out multiple examples).

I've continually been impressed with Reenact the Crime, both as an instant speed reanimation spell if you have a looter and as a way of getting something your opponent lost that's powerful at instant speed. It's really flexible (any graveyard, any nonland, instant)!

As usual, I have put together a bracket that the fans immediately disagree with (I remember you, Mira Nair to win it all), though I do think my winner is very possible!

@theguardian.com uh hi I think you should take another look at your picture for "Mallory Swanson" in your Top 100 Female Footballers list, because this isn't her

I have never seen Amanda Gutierres play before this Australia/Brazil game (where she had two goals at halftime in her ~60 mins of play) but her goalscoring record for Palmeiras the past two years has been ridiculous! #ausvbra

If you're interested, this is how the Telegraph described Bruce Mwape in its 2023 WWC preview, written in August (over a month after the Guardian published about the allegations). No reason I'm noting this, none at all, they're definitely interested in protecting women's football players.
