World Tree Barbarian is CRAZY. Oh, I get to attack from 15ft away with my maul? And I can push enemies away, knock them prone, and give them disadvantage on the next save at the same time while teleporting myself and the enemies using no resources? Plus the normal barb stuff? Sign me up. #DnD

This is just the beginning. They are going to come after healthcare for trans adults next.

Such a good session in the necropolis last night. My players got past the rolling ball trap, unwisely decided to try to loot the sarcophagi and managed to (barely) deal with the undead guardians, and successfully answered all the gypsosphinx's riddles. I love this game. #dnd

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Just a reminder that Trump has been credibly accused of raping a child along with Jeffery Epstein. After he was done, in response to his victim’s tearful question about what would happen if she gets pregnant, he told her to “get a fucking abortion”.

Reflecting on all this Musk/Felon 47 nonsense, a quote from the Discworld novels comes to mind: "And no practical definition of freedom would be complete without the freedom to take the consequences. Indeed, it is the freedom upon which all the others are based." GNU Terry Pratchett

Take a look at the cowards who run Columbia University and let this be a lesson for everyone about what happens when you bend the knee and expose your neck to fascists: You get your head cut off.

Came upon a quote from CVS Health (a pharmacy benefit manager) saying that the company's “top priority is to make health care more affordable.” If a public company (besides maybe a B corp) says that their "top" priority is anything except maximizing shareholder value, they are lying, full stop.

A well-built Armorer Artificer feels fucking invincible sometimes and it's awesome. Between the huge AC, Flash of Genius, and spells like Blur and Mirror Image you're incredibly hard to touch. Add a race like halfling or harengon and feats like Fey-Touched and enemies are officially in trouble.

AI is a good teacher? Dude, fucking DUOLINGO isn't a good teacher. Getting really tired of these techbro douchebags thinking that being good at raising venture capital makes you an expert on everything.

Curtis Yarvin's whole shtick is using a whole lot of words to obfuscate the fact that his entire philosophy boils down to "rich people should be able to do whatever the fuck they want to poor people and if they don't like it they can get fucked".

Playing D&D in person or over Discord is awesome, but there is something very charming about the flavor of a good play-by-post game. Having the time to really think about your character's reactions and being able to craft really well thought-out responses makes for awesome roleplaying.

Elon Musk leaving government? Leaving DOGE? He’s stopped every investigation into himself & his companies, cancelled the competition & awarded himself every government contract he desired, put into place & trained his lackeys in every agency. Tesla told him to lay low but he got what he wanted.

RFK Jr's "MAHA" report came out last week. It misinterpreted data, had broken links to some citations, and cited 7 articles that don't exist. That last one is a hallmark of AI hallucinations. How much of the MAHA report was AI generated? 🤔 www.notus.org/health-scien...

This is the most corrupt AND incompetent administration in our nation's history. It was on flagrant display during the hearings and every single day since they took office and were confirmed. They've done so much damage - we aren't even sure it's reparable - and it's only been 4 months.

Hard lessons about America taught by American voters, organized by year: 2012: America loves guns more than it loves children 2016: Americans are very stupid and deeply misogynistic 2024: Americans are unfathomably stupid, have the memory of a concussed goldfish, and did we mention the misogyny?
