The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

I usually defer to @treantmonk.bsky.social interpretation of the rules. But I think his view of Dao's Crush is off.
The effect doesn't say the paladin grapples the target, it says the target has the grappled condition.
Take a look and see what you think for yourself.

Completed an off-base design commission of a lineless dragon I’d done a while back! This is an Aethyrian snow sub-element dragon - a rare Glacia hybrid with an Umbra parent!

Reminder that, unless a creative freelancer has a spouse with a day job that offers health insurance, they likely have an ACA plan. And with the hits to creative industries the past few years, I'm guessing many qualify for subsidies.
Related reminder that comic creators are freelancers.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Want to learn about 2 (maybe) brothers that have so much beef they make cattle farmers jealous?
The new episode from @dndlorecast.bsky.social explores why Corellon and Gruumsh can't see eye to eye. Pun fully intended.

Just finished the @dungeondudes.bsky.social video on the new subclasses part 1.
The Genie Paladin is S-tier for sure.
I emulated Colby's crossbow paladin with it, and it's gross.
I did assume circle casting Conjure Minor Elementals so... 😂
