Jim Sharkey @jsharkey67.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Why are so many of these wannabe ubermenschen the most awkward, uncool dorks imaginable? 000
Jim Sharkey @jsharkey67.bsky.social · 09/10/2026How many other bands can you look at, and with a straight face, say "This is the bassist's band"? Not too many! 010
Jim Sharkey @jsharkey67.bsky.social · 09/10/2026It stands out even among a string of albums from Iron Maiden through Seventh Son of a Seventh Son that are wall-to-wall bangers, just an all-time great run of metal. 000

Jim Sharkey @jsharkey67.bsky.social · 08/10/2026There's not a pop culture con you can attend that won't have at least one person who thinks carrying a "You lost The Game" sign is the height of cleverness. 100

Jim Sharkey @jsharkey67.bsky.social · 07/10/2026"I can't work out my family business on my own, I need government intervention" is a heck of a thing to admit on live TV. 0220

Jim Sharkey @jsharkey67.bsky.social · 06/10/2026"I farm out my social obligations to a bot" is not actually better. 070
Jim Sharkey @jsharkey67.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Today I read an article where the Legends and Lattes guy calls Pratchett "cozy." Is it just because there's precious little on-screen murder hobo-ing? It's a mind-bogglingly bad take from anyone who's actually read a Discworld book. 000
Jim Sharkey @jsharkey67.bsky.social · 06/10/2026My youngest and I genuinely enjoyed watching the first two seasons of Star vs. the Forces of Evil together, and then the wheels fell all the way off. 030
Jim Sharkey @jsharkey67.bsky.social · 05/10/2026A judge friend of mine has informed me the plan is to let the player keep the cards, but replace the pack for the purpose of the Limited event. So sodium chloride crisis averted. 100
Jim Sharkey @jsharkey67.bsky.social · 05/10/2026This is pretty cool for pack cracking, but if you thought Sealed deck could be a crapshoot before...I'm still going to play it, but the salt may occasionally flow over someone getting a god pack. magic.wizards.com/en/news/anno...magic.wizards.comUpdating Our Boosters in 2027We're making the booster-opening experience even more exciting in 2027.

Jim Sharkey @jsharkey67.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I get that you heard this story and it seemed compelling, but you are getting embarrassed out here - and rightfully so - by people who actually dug into this man's own words. Honestly, get your house in order, and do a little actual research on someone whose story you want to tell. 070
Jim Sharkey @jsharkey67.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Cool thing I wanted to mention for my Magic friends, @klugalters.bsky.social was featured in a question in the current Learned League minileague that is about the intersection of pop culture and fine art, including an image of his Bosch-inspired Damnation. 080
Jim Sharkey @jsharkey67.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Taking Airtrain to NJ Transit into New York Penn Station is pretty easy. There's always the chance of something up with the rail, of course, but it's arguably the easiest of the three NYC area airports in terms of getting into Midtown (one assumes this is NYCC-related). 110
Jim Sharkey @jsharkey67.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Which one of these positions is supposed to make me dislike her, exactly? 141
Jim Sharkey @jsharkey67.bsky.social · 01/10/2026One of the small pleasures in living in a world with too many wealthy sociopaths is that almost all of them appear to be miserable human beings. So at least they're suffering along with the plebes they look down on. 000

Jim Sharkey @jsharkey67.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Having a couple extra shekels in your pocket for dumb stuff is one of the few upsides to being an old fart. 000
Jim Sharkey @jsharkey67.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I am glad to see that in this sea of things that are terrible, you can still find weeb on weeb violence out there to change it up a bit once in a while. At least it's an excuse for this pic. 092
Jim Sharkey @jsharkey67.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The number of people who have never gotten a smack in the mouth for running it and learned all the wrong lessons from that is a lot more than zero. 010

Jim Sharkey @jsharkey67.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Driving a stick is fun, and I think it does make you pay a little more attention to what you are doing because of the interaction aspect, but that ship sailed here in the States by the time I was born. I have been lucky to get two cars with it. 210
Jim Sharkey @jsharkey67.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Part of the reason we never left our "starter house" was because I didn't want my kids around those kids. 1350

Jim Sharkey @jsharkey67.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I'm through the first couple episodes, and Large Man Punch, But For Good is an apt description. It's pretty good. Large Man also comes across as a little spectrum-y, which I assume is intentional. 100
Jim Sharkey @jsharkey67.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I 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. 440

Jim Sharkey @jsharkey67.bsky.social · 24/09/2026If it comes to NYC I am going, and bringing the whole crew with me. Totoro was a movie we watched together when they were kids more times than I can readily count. 010
Jim Sharkey @jsharkey67.bsky.social · 23/09/2026This 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. 030
Jim Sharkey @jsharkey67.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Me 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. 010
Jim Sharkey @jsharkey67.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I 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. 000
Jim Sharkey @jsharkey67.bsky.social · 22/09/2026The Dems "want to trans your kids"? What does that even mean? Roving gangs of surgeons wielding scalpels to blast beats of Cattle Decapitation's "Forced Gender Reassignment"? 150
