Do you know the story behind O Holy Night?

If you know me at all, you know that I love Christmas music. My favorite song is O Holy Night.

I’ve loved it since I was a little kid, but I didn’t know the origins of it until a few years ago... and it blew me away.

RF signals generated by pdp8/e ..only a hacker can love...it's still kinda exciting when everything works and you can enjoy terrible, miserable wonderful music

With Twitter's change in ownership last week, I'm probably in the clear to talk about the most unethical thing I was asked to build while working at Twitter.

@Lifes_A_Haskell That's awesome! Looks like the one designed for the LCD screen add on!

[Dawson Rosell @DawsonRosell]

@Lifes_A_Haskell For sure. Pair it with some wheel effects and something like Sheoldred, the Apocalypse, or Underworld Dreams, and I think it could work in a group hug/slug deck too.
I picked up a copy for when I find the right deck for it. Might be too slow for my zombie tribal deck.

[Dawson Rosell @DawsonRosell]

Another very interesting (and affordable) reserved list card that's commander legal.
With it you can -
Punish creature heavy decks
Punish extra card draw (and maybe force some extra card draw)
Get your creatures in the graveyard easily.

[Dawson Rosell @DawsonRosell]

Basically, combo this with cards that have ETB and LTB triggers and enjoy the chaos for as long as you can afford the cumulative upkeep.

Also, its on the reserved list, so get it while its relatively affordable (less than $20 right now)

[Dawson Rosell @DawsonRosell]

Building a zombie tribal commander deck (Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver). An amazingly underrated card I found is Tombstone Stairwell. With Wilhelt you get a bunch of 2/2 decayed Zombie tokens. With Blood Artist you can hit players for the zombies that die each turn while gaining life.

Elephants are born weighing 250 lbs.

They are the biggest babies on earth except for the people mad about Lizzo playing James Madison’s flute.

I recently moved to a new role (Z systems CPU logic design) and I have to say the hardest part is trying to read thousands of lines of VHDL that I didn't write. Happy to finally be working with low level hardware again though.

Our tiny grill finally died, so naturally I bought a secondhand smoker on Craigslist. If anyone needs me I'll be on the patio, just follow the scent of apple wood.

Open to recipe suggestions if anyone's got some!

If you have to abandon Christlike ethics in order to accomplish your goals, then your goals probably aren’t aligned with Jesus.

[Zach W. Lambert @ZachWLambert]

Christianity should sound a lot less like

“How can I protect my rights?”

and a lot more like

“How can I protect my neighbor?”

have any of you seen this rather stunning prototype of the Apple 1 computer which is up for auction right now? i have a few random thoughts about it. 🧵

It's funny how all lives matter until we are talking about women

@tastytronic Although, downside of living in a state with emissions testing is that I have to fix my EVAP codes instead of just pinching off the purge hose from the charcoal canister... in a couple years Ada the Avalon will be grandfathered into exemption for emissions testing haha

[Dawson Rosell @DawsonRosell]

@tastytronic Drive it into the ground is my philosophy. My 1998 Town and Country died from rust in Duluth at 285k miles. My 2000 Avalon at 278k miles shows no signs of stopping, and its made many all night trips between New England and MN.

[Dawson Rosell @DawsonRosell]

@Lifes_A_Haskell I stopped playing around sophomore year of college. I used to go to tournaments at Dungeons End in Duluth every now and then. Would love to get back in it, but it's such a money pit and I don't have people locally to play with.
