FedEx has been $2 per package cheaper than the USPS the past few months. I never thought my business would move away from the post office, but here we are. USPS has overpriced itself to the point that FedEx is cheaper, and USPS is similar. That's when comparing Ground Advantage

@DKnight9630 I want his solo series to get an epic collection so bad from the 90s. Drew's art is amazing throughout.

Marvel Universe Series 3 Making the Grade Wonder Man Drew Johnson has always drawn one of my favorite versions of Wonder Man and this card is no exception. Great use of LA for the background as well. Grade: A

@brian_shearer Just depends on what the contract says. When in another person's sandbox you play by their rules. It does suck for you in this instance. I get it. I left a sales job where I still had 8k of outstanding commission I never saw since I left. They got the full amount if collected.

@brian_shearer How is this any different than the sales person that closes a deal, gets commission and leaves for another company but that client stays for years? The original sales person got paid for that deal, they shouldn't continue to get paid for the life of the relationship.

@StarWarsCCG Did you grab this from Andy?

Reflections Gold Luke.

@StevenGarstone @StarWarsCCG Yup

@StarWarsCCG I had not seen this before. Is this real!?

@FastbreakHoops5 100%

Is this a travel 🤔

@KoniWaves It's really good and the fallout impacts the various books for some time.

While not a highly celebrated crossover event, I was all in on the 19 part Operation: Galactic Storm event that crossed over into all of the Avengers books in the 90s. I was a huge West Coast Avengers fan at the time. The series is about the Avengers serving as peacekeepers in the Kree/Shi'ar War and the morality of being a hero. Captain America would resign from the team after the events. It's available in a couple of different collected forms and worth picking up!

@LDSLaw Had a large 6'9 guy on our ward team that retired from international ball and we had to hold other ward and steak players away from him each game. People are really stupid.

You know, the Alan Ritchson thing. I don't care for the guy's opinions about the world. But messing around with this dude seems like an absolute error of epic proportions. And I'm not a small guy myself.

@StarWarsCCG @ericljaffe @ManaByte In our house we say we are watching LOTR and it's understood they will be the extended editions.

@ericljaffe @ManaByte What fan calls them the directors cuts

Brie Larson on Lord of the Rings: "I used to watch all of the Director's Cuts every year. I used to tell people that I was going on vacation, but really I'd just be at home watching all the Director's Cuts."

@SamQuinnCBS Used to cover the NBA for Hoopsworld. I lived & breathed the NBA until the Steph era. I don't watch it at all now. Check box scores here & there for the Suns. Little to no interest anymore. When Soccer flops less than the NBA & guys aren't tough, & traveling isn't called, blah

I've noticed a meaningful drop in casual fans since I started doing this full time. The diehards are there and will remain there, but if I'm at a social function, there are fewer people with a passing knowledge of the NBA who want to talk about my job than there used to be.

@Glenn_Jones_ That looks like fun.

Finishing a bit of a personal project: a CCG library! Still waiting on a couple games, and skipped a few that are easy to play in digital or just not interesting/novel enough to make room for.

@JimmieChesh @BYUfootball Yup, was priced out two years ago after already paying double what I was my last year of tickets.

Looks like we are about to lose our @BYUfootball season tickets that we’ve had for 16 years all because of a couple days separating us from people paying an extra $1,000. This whole system is broken. Zero loyalty to the die hard fans. Truly terrible thing. Sucks. #BYUFootball

@adamboxer1 Why? Looks like something the kids will always remember and can relate to the concept.

Terrible way to explain the industrial revolution

@SoLInTheWild Tell me you haven't taught in a classroom without telling me you haven't. These are the types of lessons students remember and talk about with their friends. You then have students signing up for you classes. You relate to students in a way that connects with them. Not text books

The next day… Do Now: Write everything you remember from yesterday’s Industrial Revolution lesson. Student raises hand: “Wait… what’s the Industrial Revolution? Is that the new version of Assassin’s Creed we played yesterday?” When the activity becomes the lesson, the content is no longer is. Full transparency: This teacher 0% at fault. The system is 100% at fault.

@tombennett71 Tell me you haven't been in a classroom without telling me you've never taught in a classroom.

This is a terrible way to explain things. 1. The whole game is a distraction. Students won’t be looking at the architecture or customs etc. they’ll be watching the gameplay. 2. Opportunity cost: time. The time it takes to rig this up, open it, talk about it etc is far more than just…explaining it to them. 3. It assumes that students need this to connect with other eras. They don’t. 4. It teaches them to expect this kind of window dressing every time something new needs explained. That’s a bad habit. Common responses to me would be ‘oh but if it gets one kid interested it’s worth it.’ What about the others who lost out on ten extra minutes detailed explanation and instruction? The reason I know this isn’t a good way to teach is because I used to do it like this for a while. I thought I was being kind and helpful. It wasn’t.

@iiTzz_Tyrell Yup

If you’re LDS I want to follow you. Feels like we need to come together, and increase our faith in Christ 🙌

@robertliefeld Oh no. That's terrible news.

REST IN PEACE, Sam Kieth. You were a titan of talent!

@HonestYPTweets Keyboard warrior of salvation. Glad you set the rules for everyone to live by.

Mormonism is a cult that uses Jesus language but defines it theologically much differently than orthodox Christianity would. This matters.

@CAgovernor @JenSiebelNewsom Welcome to where utah was nearly 20 years ago. Glad your state could catch up.

Starting in the 2027-28 school year, California will offer a new personal finance course to high schoolers and require it for graduation beginning with the 2031 class. Every Californian should leave high school with the tools to manage money, avoid debt, and build wealth.
