@Twins When is Anthony Banda Glasses Giveaway Night?

[Martin the Proud @TC_Proud]

@AspiringAntel @samhenrigold That’s because that model doesn’t have a Lid Angle Sensor. Only the Apple Silicon notebook models that were completely redesigned have a LAS (M1 Pro+, M2+ with no Touch Bar).

@TwinsDingers The Cubs broadcasters were just trying to be funny. Jeffers is not a bunter. (And he already looked very good at the plate, with two hits before the homer.)

Minnesota Twins had an outstanding month of May! These are just some of the best moments. Nothing’s gonna stop us now! @Twins #MNTwins #weregomq

Dong Zhuo (https://t.co/ZshAoxkD3g) was a famous general, and often a great villain in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms stories.

Some might think it’s too small of an error, but I think it’s good to be culturally sensitive here. Zhou is a name for other characters like Zhou Yu.

@GavinVerhey I hope you might be able to pass along a misspelling of an English Magic card, in Gatherer?

There is a Magic card from PTK: “Dong Zhou, the Tyrant” who has his name misspelled; it should be “Dong Zhuo”. Should he ever get reprinted, I would love to see it corrected.

@dead_baseball Amazing oral accounts from the actors in Little Big League. (And apparently Randy can’t throw fastballs in the 70’s!) https://t.co/S8eNYcEYBW

Super cool! It’s my annual day again! You know, for all the people who went to Knox with the last name Proud!

Alright @KnoxCollege1837, you can have some money too. (Benevity is matching it so it makes me look even better.) #KnoxProud

For anyone looking for the new Seventh Edition Scrabble words, I was able to crawl the Merriam Scrabble website and put together the 489 new words I could find there: https://t.co/0ekbHV2Tfd

@dohyoungpark Can’t wait to see what SWR’s jersey looks like!

[Martin the Proud @TC_Proud]

It’s my #KnoxProud Day! The day that’s for people named Proud who attended Knox College! Thank you for taking the whole day to recognize me!

And sure, let’s let Benevity double this donation.

Twins just conned the Yankees and signed the best shortstop in baseball. Harder to find a happier moment in recent memory!

…And they say hurricanes aren’t possible in the Midwest!

@MonoWhiteBorder @bradleyrose @mtgdotdesign Sadly, no, I do not believe it is. And that is a huge downside. Of course, regular Magic packs aren’t either (at least, in most places?)

[Martin the Proud @TC_Proud]

@GolgariGlenRoss @bradleyrose @mtgdotdesign You’d take them out of sturdy binders or top loaders? 😅

[Martin the Proud @TC_Proud]

@bradleyrose @mtgdotdesign Yeah, I just missed the opportunity for a MTG advent calendar with this…

[Martin the Proud @TC_Proud]

@GolgariGlenRoss @bradleyrose @mtgdotdesign Absolutely! Cube drafting!

The Mylar is thick enough, and the crimping is only for such a short time that it doesn’t damage anything.

The downside is it’s more or less a one-time usage. You could reseal the material, but you’d have smaller pieces.

[Martin the Proud @TC_Proud]

Well, someone out there might actually use this: How to make your own trading card game booster packs using Mylar bags.

@RedDeckTries Whatever it is, I just really like Jason Chan’s art on this card, so it’s my avatar in a few places.

For #MTGMoxtober 2021, I’m going to create an entire custom Magic set. (Am I crazy? Why yes, I am!)

31 prompts, so I’m going to use them as archetypes, keywords, mechanics and themes. Not quite sure the setting or the details… I’ll just have to figure it out as I go! 😉
