This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.
yeah, just out of interest, how many people choose the pen on the right for real work or art? See a lot of them in professional workplaces, do you?

A simple alter, but one of my new favorites. Just the right scout of whimsy. #mtg #mtgaltered

Treva Threshold 2-0
RG Zoo 2-1
Grow-a-tog 1-1-1 (I think I would have won with two more mins)

Made a point of drafting @hardcasting.bsky.social’s World Championship Museum Cube this weekend. It is made up entirely of cards from gold-bordered Worlds decks and it was super sweet.

There is an actual life-changing conflict between WFH being cheaper and more efficient, an entire layer of middle managers who need to have meetings to feel alive, and the commercial real estate cabal that runs all cities. It’s going to get so fucking weird.
remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears
2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands.
My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

Played in my first big #premodern event yesterday. Went 3–1-1 for top 8. Lost in semis to Enchantress. Multiple mulls to 5 in Top 8 which was unfortunate but overall super happy with the deck and the day.
