Sometimes I consider writing a regular newsletter about daily goings-on in the country, but I quickly realize I would quickly burn out on the sheer density of shenanigans our politicians/“leaders” get into. Probably not a job for a single person.

Gonna draft some more Kaldheim, keep me company if you like: https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch #kaldheim
I got the lantern again, but this draft didn’t go as well as the last one. Might have needed more lands.

I finished the WandaVision ep 10 mins ago and I’m still in OMGWTH mode

Drafting Kaldheim ep3 https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch #kaldheim
Wasn’t able to screencap the results, but this draft went quite well! Tergrid’s Lantern is definitely a bomb, and even the squirrel overperformed I think.

Drafting Kaldheim ep2 https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #twitch #mtg #magicarena #kaldheim
Today’s draft went slightly better than the last one, though I still lost to some mana issues because I went for the greedy 5-color snow build.

Drafting Kaldheim ep1 https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #twitch #mtg #magicarena #kaldheim
Ran RW, only managed a meager 3-3, but that’s plenty since I feel like I drafted terribly lol.

No spoilers: WandaVision is so so good.

Streaming some late-night Kaldheim sealed! https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #twitch #mtg #magicarena
I ended up playing a dumb 3-color deck and only went 2-3 due to mana issues and being unable to kill big dudes. Draft next week probably!

The whole Gamestop brouhaha reminds me of the explanation I made for stock market prices a while back on reddit’s ELI5 forum: https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/6c9plk/eli5_stock_prices_constantly_changing/dhtc9qo/?context=3
“There is no magic formula that predicts what stock prices will be (whoever discovers that first will be rich). It’s largely a matter of perception and psychology. Sometimes stock prices move mainly because of rumors or speculation.” -> basically everything’s made up, lol
And if I may add, if this reddit thing ends up as a catalyst to topple/reform capitalism, unlikely as it may seem, I would find that hilarious

@angelicaaira I think most people naman are dealing with some level of fear and/or anxiety, it’s just that hindi sya visible for most people, and there are those who can handle it better, so sometimes you can feel like ikaw lang ang ganun sa mundo. Rest assured, it gets better

Write despite rejection. Write like the world is ending. Write like this may be the last minute you have to say the inarticulable thing. And write in spite of the world–with love for this irredeemable beautiful ravaged planet. Write for the mouse in the kitchen.

TIL shambolically: in a confused or disorganised manner
Quoted TheEconomist's tweet:Few countries have handled vaccine procurement as shambolically as the Philippines https://econ.st/394APqN

Platforms should not be responsible for a person making awful content. They are absolutely responsible when they put it in front of people who didnβt even know it existed. They should know the difference between hosting awful content and choosing to broadcast it. We all should.

2021 movie no. 3: World War Z (2013). Pretty typical action movie I think, entertaining enough. Should have watched at the start of the pandemic.

I see some people posting like “why are you all excited about biden, the US is still going to be imperialist/not progressive enough/whatever” and i’m like ugh sure whatever, lots of room for improvement still, but did you actually prefer trump?
The US just kicked out a racist, misogynistic, egocentric sociopath president, let them enjoy that for a little bit maybe? There’s no shortage of people willing to push their admin for reforms either.

PRRD said that its unfair that only UP & PUP have a pact… I completely agree!!!! So why not enter into a similar pact with ALL THE OTHER UNIVERSITIES or, better yet, pass a law that will guaramtee this to ALL UNIVERSITIES instead of abrogating these two. #TrustTheFilipinoYouth
