The semicolon was originally conceived as a separator when reminder text applied to only one keyword in a list. That nuance was lost on most people, so excitement for it has waned. Though it persists in Oracle (for now), I doubt it will be appearing much in the future. #WotCstaff

Without digging into the card’s history or looking at similar cards, it feels like you might be right. “Lifelink” and similar have had a few ways of being expressed, especially in the early days. We seem less willing to mess with cards from that era these days, but I can mention it. #WotCstaff

It is. It’s the Fairlife ultra-pasteurized, lower sugar variety. FWIW, I was surprised at how much I didn’t notice the difference from my previous milk, and I’m big on milk.

A scientific advancement I appreciated today: When I was a kid, it felt like my brothers and I had about 25 minutes to drink a new gallon of milk before it expired. I just bought a gallon of milk with an expiration date in January. (Yes, I know expiration dates are varying amounts of real.)

Going through my Facebook memories for my birthday. There's a pretty good original joke about getting old in there... from 14 years ago.

If gaming ever grows tiresome, sports journalism calls to you.

Defense, do something! #GoPackGo

An absolutely underwhelming half (season) of football.

The first half of this post was very familiar to me and in no way prepared me for the second half. My somewhat bewildered sympathies.

So true. And it’s just a lot of fun. Shoutout @upimprov.bsky.social if you’re in the Seattle area. Great classes for all experience levels.

If it’s tied in the bottom of the ninth with the bases loaded, I think you walk Ohtani so you only lose by 1.

I am proficient at my own signature, as well as Gavin’s, Rosewater’s, and my father’s. That last one may be less appealing to you.

You can't see me. DO DOO DOO DOOOOO. (It's Masterful Ninja.)

We did have that John Cena card that one time. I was very happy when we landed on Warrior Performer as the creature types for Crusher Hogan. #WotCstaff

(heck)

**** yeah.

Next you’ll tell me there are people who like the art on the cards.
(Just in case: The preceding was a joke. I enjoy the art on the cards, the talented folks who create it, and also everyone who enjoys it. This joke cannot be reproduced without the express written consent of Major League Baseball.)

I’m told it’s the 8-year anniversary of Star Trek’s first F-bomb. I feel safe in telling you this line is not in #MTGxStarTrek. And if I wasn’t supposed to tell you that, well, double dumbass on me. #WotCstaff

Some are saying.

Hey everyone, it’s been a while since I’ve weighed in on something on here, but since the influencer team reports up into me, let’s talk about this question (1/5)

Happy first day of CubeCon to all who observe.

Not for nothing, but I was strongly considering this for karaoke at MagicCon and had several spirited practice sessions to an audience of one or two cats before returning to reality.

I kept buying that game long after I stopped playing it. I’m also not convinced we ever played it completely correctly.

Looks like someone sneaking in and scooping the mechanics article.

You know together we’re glowing.
Gonna be, gonna be golden.

Playing in a puzzle hunt today (MIT Mystery Hatch), and it's always fun to go through the team names. We're XOXO, Gossip Squirrel. So far favorites include 10,000 Onions and don't tell my wife I'm puzzling on our honeymoon.

Lots of fireworks out here in the Seattle area. Cats don’t love it, but the humans are having fun.

But if you want to get a Splinter, #MTGxTMNT, coming soon! #WotCshill #sorry

“Could anyone go for some more cheese curds, or should we wait for the top of the next inning?”

Game 6 has been a defensive masterpiece.

I remember watching the end of that 18-inning Mariners playoff game while at a Kraken game. I have tickets for the Kraken tomorrow night…
