If you aren't feeling Pauper and just want to jam Magic - then Cube Clash will be happening alongside UK Nationals.

This is a community-ran Cube event that's on the rise and it's my favorite way to play Magic (sorry, Canadian Highlander).

Captain Torture
A four frame comic about Captain Torture. The first frame shows the sign "BREAKING NEWS" and the drawing of a man, with the words "CAPTAIN TORTURES PASSES AWAY" near him. The second frame shows a journalist holding a mic, as she says "A controversial and divisive figure, Captain torture will be remembered for his key role in history." The News title is "Mourning day for Captain-". The third frame shows three posts on social media. The first one is by a man called Paul James @Paulitician. He writes: "I didn't always agree with Captain Torture but he sure was a man who believed in something." The second post by James Paul @Avegetable reads: "I pay my respects to Captain Torture and his family. His heart was in the right place- with our country." The third post is by SonicVomit @SonicBleh , and reads "HE TORTURED PEOPLE". The fourth frame shows an interview on TV. An angry man on the right is saying: "Let me tell you something, Jen. I think it's SICK to celebrate Captain Torture's death. These people should be LOCKED UP, and also tortured-". The news below says: "Every president on earth pays homage-".

Been keeping the discord viewers engaged in my cube drafts by throwing up ball x pit (with the idle character playing) in the corner of the stream

Adding to this... I have been completely uninterested in the cubes on arena that contain alchemy cards, and I'm really glad they decided to not include them in the current one. It's unfortunate that I can't just choose to not engage with them without skipping out on an entire format.

I really hope they just admit alchemy sucks and remove all the cards

i don't feel like magic set surveys usually have this question and i don't appreciate the implication that content creators, who do so so much for the game, are possibly to blame for a bad set's poor performance. 👎

Just learned about a new stupid thing AI does
A series of Instagram comments: Comments atbashhang 2w i recently applied to a wendys and the ai chatbot immediately gave me an interview date and time. when i got there they told me "oh we're actually not hiring it just automatically does that" Reply atbashhang 2w in other news i'm now learning how to jailbreak Ilms for no particular reason Reply k.aylaeverso.n 2w @atbashhang that happened to me at olive garden. went in for my interview and they said they would keep my resume on file in case the position opened. fortunately i had another interview right after and wound up working there instead Reply bugluvr2003 2w @atbashhang me with 7-11 except they cancelled it an hour before Reply pockifox.png 2w @atbashhang Bro I used to work at Auntie Anne's and the amount of people I had to turn away because the Al chatbot did the same thing and gave them an interview time when we weren't supposed to take any made me feel bad every time

While trying to figure out what cubes I want to draft this year at CubeCon I wound up hacking together a basic cube comparison page over the weekend to help identify some candidates. #MTGCube

The more people that turn up and show Wizards that supporting trans people is popular, the better. Make it inescapably clear to them who their players are and what you care about.
