"Florence Pugh isn't beautiful" is an insane take.

I have avoided the Large Man show since it premiered, since it didn't seem like my kind of thing. But I have friends who regularly bang on about it, so I watched the first couple episodes. It's pretty good, it turns out. So I guess I will be Large Man-ing at lunch for a couple weeks.

"Does it matter" if kids can multiply and divide? On what planet can I trust an engineer/scientist/accountant who can't do those things?

This is a cool deck, but it seems pretty stressful to pilot for a bunch of rounds. Although I suppose that might be true of most Legacy decks.

Me at the time would not have been interested. Me now would punch a baby to be a fly on the wall here. Tagging @michaelchu7.bsky.social for value.

I would love to hear the chatter among the translators and diplomatic staff after Trump's U.N. speech yesterday. Bad enough to have to sit through it as an ambassador, but at least you get a title and perks; being among the R&F listening to that drivel had to be worse.

This Administration is obsessed with penises.

I once played a woman in a tourney, & mentioned that while I liked her B&W Midnight Hunt lands, I would find them hard to track. She responded she was colorblind, so it didn't matter. I said, "Oh, that's really rare in women!" Then later I wondered if she was trans, and was happy or mad about that.

Puzzled, but I think impressed. Or at least pleased.

TMW you get back from your walk just in time for WMMR's Back to School A-Z to start "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway".

If I told my HS science & social studies teachers that in their students' lifetimes, the U.S. would go from "Yes, smart, talented people, please come here" to "Don't come here, we don't want your brains & ambition" they'd have sent me to the principal and told my parents I might be on drugs.

I am mostly enjoying #Lanterns but the writers' room needs to buy a thesaurus. I admit I can be a bit of a potty mouth sometimes, but while in theory, the word "fuck" is highly versatile, in practice, its incessant use defangs it and is pretty off-putting.

Of all the things I do not care for regarding the "designing for EDH" philosophy, the biggest might be the obscene proliferation of legendary cards. Legends were cool and flavorful when they were introduced, and now it's just kind of boring.

There may eventually come a season when I do not second guess myself out of the correct answer to a question that should be a layup, but it is not this season.

Kermit tries to put on a show, preferably with a human guest star who gets it. Things get chaotic in funny and ridiculous ways. I don't know why you would mess with that formula.

Working out more; on sports car #2; going to a lot more concerts, including traveling to places far away to see them.

I missed that yesterday was Star Trek's 60th anniversary/birthday, etc. One of the few things my dad got right was introducing me to that show. On a related note, curse Le Creuset for making me seriously consider spending ~$70 on a cheese grater. The firstest of first world problems.

Goddamnit, they are going to get my money, aren't they?

Jim Sharkey @jsharkey67.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Besides screening for obsequious bootlicking, I think the Admin also screens for how smug and punchable a person is. If on a scale from Tom Hanks to Martin Shkerli you're not at least Colin Jost, you can't be hired for a public-facing position.

This is the one time of the year I am glued to my radio, for WMMR's A to Z. Getting to hear old songs that don't turn up anywhere else is always fun. Right now, it's Matthew Sweet's "Girlfriend."

I detest that ketamine-addled racist as much as the next reasonably normal person, but he is not wrong that while the number of possible moves is massive, the number of smart possible moves is a lot smaller. That said, "Even my friends don't text me back that fast" is an all-timer of a burn.

The suits saw interesting things were happening in a show, and decided it had to be stopped.

New Jersey, of course. There was one of these a while back that pinpointed my place of birth to the town next to the one I grew up in, and that was both impressive and mildly scary.

NJ trash based on how I talk, of course.

I have been critical in the past of some of the Magic stories, but the last two "in universe" stories were great, and this current one for Reality Fracture is shaping up to be another win.

We are governed by people who actually want to rule us, and I just don't know how that all ends.

I love Kyle Chandler, and I generally like to see people play with established characters, but as someone who's been a Hal Jordan fan for 40+ years, I am not loving the "crank Hal's fighter pilot arrogance up to 11" here they are doing in _Lanterns_. Still and all, enjoying the show a lot.

Somehow, I have still not become so jaded as to not be repelled by how much this Administration hates the idea of anything being a public good.

I'll do this one. Introduce yourself with 10 acts you’ve seen live: Rush Iron Maiden Yes Metallica Imperial Triumphant Florence and the Machine Eternal Champion Blood Incantation Clutch Mastodon

My guess is some of you will find this interesting.

One of the dumber things the Internet has given to boys was your best friend's stoned older brother telling you bullshit writ large.
