Intro: I'm Cary. I run a Magic story search engine (@mtglore.bsky.social), I'm on The Vorthos Cast, and I wrote a zine about Gatherer comments (mtglore.com/players-just...).

I'm a free agent in it for the love of the game. Simple as that.

I think back on his stories often and the sheer excitement that built up around those days. It was all so damn warranted

It's 9 years later, so I feel safe calling Homesick (and the ensuing run by @stormwaltz.net) one of the greatest moments of all time for Magic's story

It's a chilly day in October. Remembering Kessig by Adam Paquette for Planechase 2012 #Vorthos

A gloomy autumn scene. Trees with orange leaves, darkened sky, and small piles of mist on the ground. Beyond a broken fence, the town of Gavony is spotlit by a break in the clouds.

Scammers really aren’t sending their best, was this text designed to seduce a 15 year old in 2002?

Shivam, I assure you, you're still in the better 50%. And not just because I agree with nearly every tangent you make on CM lmao

Excellent person plus actual north star for caring while resisting hyperbole.

Jay, can I ask you a boring house style question?

Why is "Planes" proper noun capitalized in flavor text here? Singular form isn't in book promo text, Multiverse is consistently capitalized elsewhere. New equivalent term?

My app version is letting me DM, desktop is asking for age verify. Both devices on the same network in Ohio. (We don't have one of those dumbass censorship bans anyway, do we?)

desperately wish I had had this article to read and reference 10 or so years ago, but glad to have it now

Iris Meredith @iris-meredith.bsky.social · 12d

Today's article is about a form of bad-faith speech somewhat akin to bullshit, which I'm calling (because why not) wank. I don't quite think I've focused the ideas down as much as I can, but I think it says some interesting things regardless:

An essay on wank | deadSimpleTech

This captures well the uncomfortable, slightly disorienting feeling that wank creates when you're subjected to it, wherein you're expected to speak about and think about the statement as though it say...
