3-0 on a very tough server vs some mythic-level #MTGArena players.
Will put out the recordings if anyone is interested.
I'm trying to play #MagicTheGathering every day.
Today was another study in "who's the beatdown".
https://www.17lands.com/user/deck/dfa4319f415d48adb9c3dbbea4bf1495/59530285/1707783372 didn't manage to 7-2 with this.
Cornered Crook felt bad (should've replaced it with Make Your Move!) and there were quite some interesting spots. For example, here perhaps I Galvanize their two-drop?

Shower thought. #FBI has killed #AaronSwartz? Why can't they kill #DonaldTrump? Can only hunt the defenseless.

Random thought — I have a tight-knit #Ukraine support group which is a band of my friends and me. My friends also contribute to other groups, so do I. There are amazing humans like @EugeneMcParland on mastodon with whom I'm only acquainted here, but we don't live that far from each other.
Question: if all of us will try to get together after the victory of #Ukraine, how large of a venue will we have to book? Where would be the "center of mass" of such gathering?
I love this review of Xanthippe's Last Night wist Socrates, which has just now been put on the IFDB:

If you want to play my 30-minute game/story for yourself, you can do so here:
Please watch this! Not only #Russia is our enemy, never forget about it.
Stay focused. We’ve known for 4 years that, short of death, Trump would be the Republicans’ nominee in 2024. The margin of his wins in Republican primaries and caucuses makes no difference, whatever the headlines and pundits say. We will have to fight using what we have, which will be - again, short of death - be Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket, and all the down ballot Democrats across the country. Every last one of them should make it clear that constitutional democracy is at stake.
I sometimes want to kill or otherwise facilitate death of russians.
Any russians, to be honest. The level of animosity is comparable to the level of animosity my guerilla-fighter ancestors felt towards germans and romanians.
The funny thing is that russans dying is not at odds with putin's plan. It's hard to figure out what to do... I may or may not have been engaged in direct action last year and it may or may not had felt way better than how I feel now, where I don't have an outlet.
Maybe some of my followers have some intel projects that need some automation, data processing, data cleaning or some social engineering projects where a person fluent in russian can help?

I use flakes for my #NixOS configs. Sadly Hydra doesn't support updating inputs of flakes. I hacked up flake-compat to allow Hydra to supply the inputs: https://github.com/edolstra/flake-compat/commit/9de0587e74d16c450bb7fc8779b597d92ed0ef83
Now I have daily builds of my systems!
Today, I have 9 years of sobriety from alcohol. Without the support of my mum and sister, the recovery center and the various meetings and various groups I've attended over the years, I would not be alive today.
If you know someone suffering from an addiction of any sort, please, offer compassion and support, not condemnation. Even the strongest and wisest can fall prey to addiction. A little kindness can go a long way.
