The Knicks winning a championship while the World Cup cultural exchange is happening might be the legitimate antidote to the individualistic nihilism thatโs poisoned so much of our country for the last decade or so
People want community. They want whimsy. Itโs fun to have fun
Update people are so happy theyโve just started running around the fountain in Washington square park ๐งก๐๐งก

I love that each had their own unique identity and style. Basketball rocks.
To me, this is beautiful. No excuses, no unassailable mountain.

Algerians doing jigs in Kansas... Brits eating barbecue in Texas... Koreans doing full on kegstands in Mexico... just goes to show that the entire world can be united by the simple concept of getting really drunk and watching a sporting event

I've spent a lot of time over the past few days thinking about why Final Fantasy felt like Magic, but Marvel doesn't really even though the sets are very similar at first blush, and I think I've finally figured it out. mtggoldfish.com/articles/whyโฆ

I do a M-F 30 minute podcast on the Seattle Kraken and this is classic โhow do I fill time in the offseasonโ content.
CONTROVERSY: is Bo Nix BETTER than Mahomes?
I assume thatโs whatโs happening here. Little bit of intellectual dishonesty in the service of content. I respect it

Bo Nix arguably has better stats than Patrick Mahomes since he entered the NFL:
Bo:
24-10 record
64.8% completion
54 TDs
23 INTs
8 4th quarter comebacks
10 game winning drives
Mahomes:
21-9 record
65.3%
48 TDs
22 INTs
6 4th quarter comebacks
8 game-winning drives

The lack of care towards the competitive side of Magic the Gathering is an indicator of how they see their player base; as cows to be milked in exchange for dopamine you get in casual games from your friends than as a community built around a game that brings people together.

Not announcing this before TWO Arena Limited Championship Qualifiers had run seems intentionally deceitful. People spent hundreds of dollars thinking they would qualify for a legitimate large tournament with cash prizes. The way this was handled by Arena amounts to thievery. #mtg
