@GameKnight NFT giveaways in Marden's. That's how you know they've made it (and are 100% over).

Jimmy Butler playing every bloody minute of a losing elimination game at the tail end of a career of futile struggle sadly reminds me of teaching in the United States.

@tableflipsyou The tribe's HR might want to review the sexual harassment policy, given what's going on around that building.

@knowledge_fight Dan may be interested to know that Project Camelot is accidentally cribbing the black goo from MTG, but somehow not Marjorie Taylor Greene:

It's a Phyrexian concept represented in tons of cards. They're big on reanimation, too.

@digital_sextant @tableflipsyou Someone citing FTT in an academic essay makes me feel like my life has come around full circle.

[Chris Barter @ProfLaserbooks]

This one hurts.

My five-year-old daughter wrote a probability matrix for testing die rolls in a game she is making. "It's for making it, not playing it." #ProudDad

My daughter's imaginary friend is Steamboat Willie. Yes, it's the same one you're thinking of. I want to foster an interest in history, so I'll take what I can get.

[Chris Barter @ProfLaserbooks]

Well, damn. :(

[Chris Barter @ProfLaserbooks]

You know when you go back to your high school for the first time in nineteen years and it's totally not weird or surreal or unnerving?

Yeah, me neither.

Annihilation (2018) final impression:

Ship of Theseus called shot: count it.

Good movie.

[Chris Barter @ProfLaserbooks]

Annihilation (2018) impressions at 90 minutes:

This isn't To the Lighthouse, but, in at least two ways, it still kind of is.

Intersection of existential horror and body horror bring to mind Herbert, Donaldson, and LeGuin at their best. I dig it.

[Chris Barter @ProfLaserbooks]

Annihilation (2018) impressions at 60 min:

(Space)Ship of Theseus?

Soundtrack like just the creepy/ambient parts of Mogwai albums. Cool.

If this screenwriter does not read and/or write SCPs, they should.

The Yankees are eliminated. Now I can live in peace once again.

I was going to start a satirical blog about misusing critical theory to over-analyze board books like Goodnight Moon and The Very Hungry Caterpillar, but I just discovered Jordan Peterson and that's apparently all he does.

@tableflipsyou Glen runs a deck built around Grusilda, and she's an Unglued-type card. This can happen.

[Chris Barter @ProfLaserbooks]

@tableflipsyou Great. Now I unironically want to make a Nightmare Moon deck.

[Chris Barter @ProfLaserbooks]

Just saw an ad for Countdown, whose tag line is, "Death? There's an app for that."

Time to pack it in, folks. Someone solved art.
