46 Days Until Opening Day! Let’s Go Mets!

Ah, the millennial experience of “every time you get some measure of financial and career stability, the world decides to do something extraordinarily stupid again”

Not really sure I still want to watch it anyway :/ variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Serebii Update: A special distribution of a Flying Tera Type Eevee is to run in stores in the US, Canada and Australia from February 7th through February 27th 2025 www.serebii.net

55 Days Until Opening Day! Let’s Go Mets!

I'm happy for the Blue Jays that they got someone to take their money, and I'm happy that Max Scherzer found a team that believes he is still a major league pitcher worthy of millions.

Of course since I forgot to check the Topps Living Set release for Mets last week, they decided to include Tom Seaver 🤦‍♂️ At least I was still able to order a copy from an eBay seller 🤷‍♂️

I'm a little sad about the apparent demise of the Science Fiction Book Club. That's how I discovered some of my favorite authors, including Terry Pratchett and @diane.dianeduane.com, and where I bought my copies of some of the classics of the genre. reactormag.com/the-science-...

#PokemonTCGPocket has a new set out and I already got the fancy Dialga card! (It only took 30 packs worth of hourglasses 😅) For all its flaws, I do like opening packs and looking at pretty pictures of cool Pokemon 😅

I was not originally all that excited about #MTGAetherdrift, but now I kinda want to make dumb Brawl decks with artifacts and vehicles. I need to remind myself that spending real money on digital cards in Arena is not a good idea 😅

The world is a scary place, but I'm appreciating all of your photos of the birds and the squirrels today

In case you're looking for something to get me for my birthday 😅 #DoctorWho gizmodo.com/heres-your-c...

Could they have made trading in #PokemonTCGPocket any more convoluted and less fun?

This would probably be fun if you can do the $200 VIP meet & greet. www.milb.com/news/darryl-... #Mets #Yankees

Sigh. This is why we can't have nice things kotaku.com/pokemon-tcg-... #PokemonTCGPocket

A grim but essential memory: 80 years ago today Auschwitz was liberated. That there was an Auschwitz to liberate is unspeakably tragic. . . www.history.com/this-day-in-...

I finished listening to "Interesting Times" this morning. It does feel a little bit dated, but it is my favorite of the Rincewind stories. Now on to Onyx Storm #Booksky

Elderly camp survivors, some wearing striped scarves that recall their prison uniforms, walked to the the Death Wall, where prisoners were executed. Across Europe, officials were pausing to remember.

I guess I will not be listening to Jewel any more. It's a shame - she performed at one of the first (and best) concerts I ever attended www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-ne...

I do still want to see #Section31, but the reviews are making me think I can wait until there's something else on Paramount Plus that I want to see before I resubscribe

I got to play Dungeons and Dragons tonight for the first time in probably 30 years. It was fun :)

I'm happy for Ichiro, CC Sabathia & Billy Wagner joining the Hall of Fame. I'm happy Carlos Beltran is seeing his vote total increase from year to year. And I'm happy David Wright got enough votes to stay on the ballot

I know this sounds weak, I know it. But kindness is one of the few things we carry that can make a difference for each other. We can’t undo all this hate, but we can still make life a little easier for others.

I wonder how much the card will sell for www.baseballamerica.com/stories/paul...

Yay, my electric company says I don't have power at home :(
