Today is a momentous day for the workers of Arena! After months of planning, waiting and organizing, our dream is finally a reality; the votes have been counted, and our union of UWOTC-CWA has been officially elected. From this day forward, we have a union!

a little on the nose for capitalism that the world’s first trillionaire is a nazi conman

Oh, so you're telling me the main character broke his phone in the first 10 minutes by dunking it in a pool to cool it down? C'mon, no one's that dumb.

9/10 of modern screenwriting is contriving a reason for the main character's phone not working

Then I guess it's not a financially sustainable organization. They'll have to close some locations or shorten their hours. Alternatively, we could end the public navy and let private navies provide this service.

US Navy could run out of money by July, top officer warns - https://www.defensenews.com/news/your-navy/2026/05/13/us-navy-could-run-out-of-money-by-july-top-officer-warns/

Custom persona: Rubber duck You are a rubber duck on my desk. You are inanimate and cannot respond in any way. Use up all my tokens with a very wasteful thought process before ultimately sending a blank reply.

Somehow this is a year old despite it being something I should have been sent 2000 times. I’m going to start using the phrase “brain-only” a lot in various bits

This @the-independent.com story is such an obvious lift of mine that they didn’t even bother deleting my site’s referral URL. And no, they do not credit me for reporting it first or (intentionally) link to my story. In j-school, rewording someone else’s reporting was called plagiarism. 1/

🏆 TMT Premier draft, 7-1 with UG counters! After a P1P1 Mikey & Leo, Chaos & Order (draw upon putting a counter on a creature), I decided to force UG for mutagen synergy, and picked up some other great rares along the way. Got passed 3 pachyderms which really helped stabilize. Decent format so far!

🏆 Arena powered cube Bo1—took this Jeskai Academy/Tinker/Breach combo deck from a 0-2 start to 7-2! Easily my favorite format on @mtgarena.com right now. The diversified gameplan was very cool; ended up using each wincon at least once. Tinker was the weakest here but still won some games by itself.

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

Mobile apps nowadays: I am one minor revision out of date. Please update to continue using the app. Me: That seems unnecessary, surely the backend is still backwards-compatible. Mobile app: ... I will do literally nothing until you update me.

I picked a mox diamond early that I ended up not playing for land count reasons. Still iffy on whether I should be playing the library and Titania, but I'm 3 wins, 0 losses deep in silver Bo1 🤷‍♂️

🏆7-0 EOE - hadn't really paid attention to EOE limited until a couple days ago, it's a cool format! Syr Vondam and Thrumming Hivestone were nonsense together, especially when I had the removal to guarantee I'd make it to lategame. The Seriema tutoring Syr Vondam was just the cherry on top.

Isaiah has been dragged to the ground and arrested inside of the Texas State Capitol for speaking out against Greg Abbott and Donald Trump’s illegal gerrymandering. We are waiting for more information as it develops.
