I assure you that for absolutely zero reasons to do with child wizards, I was curious to try this Spinnaker’s limited seasonal soda flavour.
Would not recommend!
It smells a bit like butter, but it tastes like an even split of CREAM SODA and MICROWAVE POPCORN, then the flavour thankfully vanishes.

When I was writing Creative Text for Murders at Karlov Manor, I submitted “Secret Tunnel” as the name for a land.
The name was selected, and shipped off to editing as the chosen name.
To my surprise, it was printed as Escape Tunnel.
That’s when I guessed Avatar was in the works. Huzzah!

Used the Lego “party build” app to do a family build concurrently, rather than taking turns, and it worked extremely well.
It was a little chaotic with opening new bags before we were finished with other ones, but that’s maybe because this was a Bricklink set. It was really fun.

At our panel, a viewer of my Olympics videos kindly gave me two c.1996 Izzy pins, as we are in Atlanta.
They claimed it was to defend Izzy’s honour but I interpreted it as a punishment? 😄

And by way of proof that I’m something of a “subject matter expert” myself, this is me being interviewed on the local news, after winning the costume contest at the “Island Trek” convention in the 90s.
Enjoy.

At the @dragonshield.bsky.social event last night they announced a formal partnership with @magic.wizards.com and I’m so pleased for them.
A good bunch of folks, Dragon Shield.

I don’t know that this “counts” but it’s Incredibly 90s, and the first album that sprang to mind 😄

NIN show was amazing. Everyone killed it, Trent’s voice especially was in top form all night.
The age range of the crowd was WIDE—nice!
I’m chuffed to have correctly called that at this Vancouver show they might play “I’m Afraid of Americans” (which was well received!)

Woo! Never went full-run on an Arena Direct before!
This was my third (and final, regardless of result) attempt.
Specifically, went 3-2, then 0-2, but finally 7-1 with an aggressive WB token-ish deck.

So this “lightbulb” at the very start of Nintendo’s Indie World Showcase is definitely Gen AI, right?
The bottom can’t even a screw, it’s just ridges!

This poster went up locally the day after #MTGEOE previews started and it startled me since it’s using the same font as the EOE bonus sheet lands 😂

Lucky to see the first night of the 25th anniversary tour of Deltron 3030 (Del the Funky Homosapien, Dan the Automator, Kid Koala) and it was so much fun!
They also played a snippet of a NEW track feat. Ben Gibbard, and encored with Clint Eastwood. Terrific stuff.
If you can catch this tour, do.
