Immediately adding this into my lexicon.
Recently returned from SoCal to NY! I mainly post about the good things in life: being a husband/dad, games of all sorts, rugby, music, beer, and food. Opinions my own. He/him.

Immediately adding this into my lexicon.
I finally tried Malort for the first time earlier this year, and I really didn’t think it was bad at all, despite what I’ve heard from others for years!
Same, I have as much muted as I can!
Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about
Love this song!
Makes total sense, and I agree that the pre-Premodern cards are all good ones! Could call it “Old School to Premodern Twobert”?
I fixed the Cracker Barrel logo if anyone is interested! #illustration #branding
Curious about the inclusion of non-Premodern legal cards in here!
First time making a Black Hook. Very similar to a Black Manhattan; not sure I like it more, but still quite tasty!
Appropriate, since my family/childhood nickname has always been Luigi!
Hemingway Daiquiri to start, then probably a House Manhattan.
After yesterday’s Premodern event (I did terribly 😭), we got to do a sweet Chaos Draft with Andy’s hoard of old packs! I went 2-1 with good old B/R Removal.dec. So much fun to play these old cards (and try to parse the wording on Dead Ringers) again!
Where’s the pic of the aggro birds???
Need help building this draft deck. Thoughts?
The Angel’s Share rye was such a ridiculously good suggestion!
Black Manhattan with Angel’s Share rye, Averna, and black walnut bitters.
Skye is a truly wonderful place. Hopefully our next visit happens in less than 16 years!
I always say I love my country the way Anthony Bourdain did, not as a benevolent state or one founded in innocence but as vast, beautiful place full of discrete people and cultures such as has rarely been attempted and worth fighting for.
I may have peaked in MTG/Final Fantast drafts with this deck from last night. It’s exactly my style and easily got to 7 wins.
The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.
Why yes, I’m about to eat the last slice of my Father’s Day key lime pie straight out of the pie dish. Why do you ask?
This photo. ICE is a gang.
I shit you not, people
Happy Father’s Day to my fellow dads. Cheers, gents!
Exactly! Had a few boxes of strawberries in the fridge and just happened to find a post about this drink on Reddit, so it was fated :-).
First time making the Muddled Mission, from the Death & Co. cocktail book. Gin, St. Germain, Genepi (in place of yellow Chartreuse), lemon juice, and a muddled strawberry. Yummy and refreshing!
Finally rewatched Rogue One, now that we finished Andor, and I enjoyed it much more than before. I still think the first half is kind of meh, but the entire Scarif sequence is fantastic. Also, I didn’t realize/remember that my boy Melshi was in it!
Made the Eight Amaro Sazerac from Amor Y Amargo, and it’s quite tasty, even though I think I accidentally halved the quantities! Had to make a few substitutions, since I don’t currently have certain of the amari from the original recipe, but still a great blend.
Replaying Hollow Knight for the Nth time, and it’s just so damn good. Just beat NKG, and that’s such a fun boss fight! Maybe in this playthrough I’ll finish P5; last time I made it all the way to AbsRad and didn’t have it in me to practice that fight a bunch.
Clean 3-0/6-0 in a Powered Cube draft with work friends. Good clean Magic!
Finally finished Season 2 of Andor! Truly excellent, and I don’t know that anything I see anytime soon can top Episode 8.
John Avon is temporarily retiring from events and painting to focus on his health. His agent said he would honor any signing arrangements, so my Q3 signing with him is still happening. I expect it to take longer than normal, I wouldn't want John to strain himself. #MTG #MagicTheGathering

Didn’t know what Kummel is until just now, but yeah, seems like a slam dunk for this!
@bdm.bsky.social Saw this and immediately thought of you! reddit.com/r/cocktails/...
It’s on my list, for sure!
You mean look up the questions.
Don’t tell her how it gets made!
How it started and how it ended (with several more trays, too!), courtesy of @lizneiman.bsky.social!
Phthisis!
A classic for a reason!

::Bolt Thrower intensifies::
Got some Angel’s Envy rye, at @bdm.bsky.social’s suggestion, and made some delicious Manhattans!
Yeah, it was quite tasty!
Out of rye, so made Black Manhattans with bourbon. Not bad!
6/6 SMASH!
Israel just committed *the largest child massacre in its history*, according to Haaretz. Two hundred Palestinian children murdered in a single day, with direct support from the US and UK, and zero outrage from Western media. What stage of barbarism is this...
White Negronis in honor of today’s warmer weather! (Also because I *finally* found a bottle of Suze!)
INCREDIBLE Ruling! Judge Reyes just ruled that transgender people have served honorably in the military, judges Trumps trans military ban - which states trans people are inherently dishonorable - as unconstitutional and motivated by animus. Trans military members may continue to serve.
I demand Flow cat in this photo!
I don’t think I’ll ever make a cocktail with Sumo citrus juice, because if I have one available then I’m eating it!
Did indoor skydiving for the first time today, at iFly in Yonkers. Super fun! youtu.be/DwjbZKvkvjs?...
Heh, that’s why I asked! For whatever reason, I had never listened to them before. Will check those out!
@meddlingmage.bsky.social Are you a fan of Death? I recently heard the song Crystal Mountain and thought it was excellent, so looking for some recs.
Honestly, I might suggest keeping your decks as-is, seeing how they perform, and only then worrying about making upgrades. The nonstop onslaught of set releases has made me much more selective in the changes/upgrades I make.
No one ever completely leaves!
Unwinding after a long day with a Crop Top: gin, Montenegro, Giffard pamplemousse, and lemon juice. Super refreshing!
Imagine being so cool that David Bowie writes a song about how intimidatingly cool you are. That was David Johansen. May he rest in peace. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQGo...
Can we also get an Eladamri’s Vineyard in there somehow???
I have witnessed true horror, and it is a room of 7-to-8-year olds at Legoland.
Just caught the Bakshi animated Lord of the Rings movie on TV. Woof it’s rough. Give me the Rankin Bass cartoon versions any day of the week (and twice on Sunday)!
Just had La Tur cheese for the first time and WOW is it good! It’s a blend of cow/sheep/goat milk and has a great consistency; great for spreading on a cracker.
This is too accurate and funny: www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/its...
The documentary. (I just started the concert and am on Eddie Vedder and The Roots killing it on “The Waiting.”)
Just finished the 3-hour lookback of SNL musical performances and it was fantastic! Highly recommend if you haven’t seen it already.
Definitely going to watch this tomorrow! It’s only on Peacock, right?
Should’ve played Black mana-producing lands to turn on Apprentice’s second ability!
De Blasio: ‘Well, Well, Well, Not So Easy To Find A Mayor That Doesn’t Suck Shit, Huh?’

Mere moments until we learn the identity of Kendrick’s special guest
The idea of putting mayonnaise on a Katz’s sandwich is abhorrent
We had the same reaction! Wonder if the same agency did both ads, 🤣.

Went 3-1 at the Aetherdrift prerelease with this solid U/B deck. Also got some awesome FBB cards for Old School (with some Premodern crossover!). But best of all are these S’mores treats courtesy of @bdm.bsky.social!
Soooooo, when are we going?
Dante and I are very excited for this 🤤.
Wait, what??? You’ve never had the N1 at Xi’an, Hat??? Just say the word and I’ll join you.
Damn, bravo MaRo! 👏👏
My current UR tempo Commander deck is Balmor, but I can dig this sharkie fella, too!
I’ve been thinking on and off about building a U/R Pirates EDH deck, and this might be what finally gets me to do it!
That would be much appreciated, thank you!
Hi Emma. Is it possible to create an RSS feed for this website, for easier access to articles?
A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼
This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.
Did they? I remember we got some overpriced beers and hung out by the bar for a while.
The People’s Cannon!
Ah yes, “accidentally.”
How have I never heard of or listened to King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard until now??? 🤘
Without Mel Brooks hiring Lynch to make THE ELEPHANT MAN — on the strength of ERASERHEAD alone — he is very likely just a guy who made a weird film at AFI. That whole filmography you love doesn’t happen. We all need sponsors and mentors and patrons. We need people who believe in us.
So sad about David Lynch passing. I came to Twin Peaks late in life, but now it’s one of my all-time favorite shows. The first (and for a long time, only) Lynch work that I enjoyed was Dune, and I still love it dearly, despite its flaws. I guess it’s fitting that I recently started reading this.
[willem dafoe unprompted] now, this cookie monster. [toothy smile] what a creature, what a lust. it consumes him. [crosses legs] he’s really a tragic figure.
I prefer my ponds to be tsundere.
Man I loved playing this card in Standard when 5-Color Cruel Control decks were all the rage.
Gosh I love Legacy Belcher. I wish it was still viable!
Still one of my all-time favorites.
