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.

Every blogatog now is "I asked the most available PR person how I should feel about a game direction I dislike, and their answer was totally epic"

Well, my first attempt at organizing a No Universes Beyond commander night ended horribly.

Tip for anyone trying this: Don't leave "Ramble On" in your background music playlist

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?

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 · 10d

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...
