The Pickup Truck Diaries: “The Second Most Prolific Poet In History” & Goal Setting.

Let’s start this edition of The Pickup Truck Diaries with a rhetorical question: “How does one go about achieving the goals they’ve set for themselves?” I’ll give you a few minutes to pause and think about that. Most folks have already started churning their brains into realistic “brass tacks”...

Central Universe Science Fiction Shorts: An Update!

Campfire. Come gather 'round the campfire. Let me tell you a story. Several small ones, in fact! It started a month or two ago, when I had a bunch of hits on "Our Better Angels" via the 'ol analytics. Now, I've been running this little business for half a decade - so out of neurotic perfectionism,...

McRae’s MTG Corner: The Rainbow Bible. (AKA The Rukarumel “Gay Pirates!” Tribal Tribal CEDH Primer.)

WARNING: This piece clocks in at 62,000+ words. It currently holds the record for longest "CEDH Primer" ever written. (Although it's more like a textbook or resource guide to Tribal Archetypes, and Rainbow/5c Magic, really.) It is over half the size of my sci fi books. Please remember to drink...

McRae’s MTG Corner: Tempo For Dummies (Especially For Commander.)

Aight, we back yet again. Somehow in my long years of being an L1 Judge and Modern and EDH player, I had never realized that learning tempo in Magic The Gathering is a rather visceral experience, in that you learn experientially. For the layman, that means that you have to learn that deep sense of...

McRae’s MTG Corner: Siloing CEDH & EDH

Ew, I got CEDH in my EDH… Today we’re here to talk about power levels in the casual commander format, as well as how to encourage better CEDH & EDH play by more carefully separating the two formats despite their strange interwoven nature. As a “retired” L1 Judge for Magic: The Gathering, I’m...

Hate Crimed By Government Employees.

Fight.Fight.Fight.What's worth what?Which battles do I pick?Bemoaning to my counsellor:"Got hate crimed…With their own lawyer on Zoom!"Would eight years of court,(Knowing…They'd want to avoid setting precedent…)Would such suffering,Be worth the millions,Of some settlement?Fight?

Prologue To A Tragedy.

Yet -I'm never without many scores,Of my own flaws.Both demons I've chained,Within my mausoleums,As well as more modern spectres.Flashes of dopamine before my eyes.They called me a villain.A role I was typecast to play.Antagonist,Eternally.Theatre,Turned real.Let me tell you a tragedy:

Savant Syndrome Blues.

Dispassionate existence,Drawn with graphite,Or charcoal.Fine art sketches -I never did practice.Can do anything -Given enough time,& resources.Yet this curse,Is derived from a cycle:Immediate mastery,Often enough.Waxing boredom,If not.Passion dictating expertise.Savant Syndrome Blues.
