🧵 Why you should include firearms and other technology in your #dnd game...

1. Because they're historical - Gunpowder is older than many of the common weapons in D&D. Rapier, longbow, and even halberd are more recent inventions than gunpowder.

Adventures in framing:

Headline presenting this as a real-world question. Rather than as another sign of deepening vortex of narcissistic delusion and detachment from reality.

Headline: Trump Has His Eyes on Nobel Prize. Will He Get It?

How to Spot SORA AI Videos with Removed Watermarks.

That popular Video of a Possum being scared while eating Halloween candy, AI. That one has an extra tell, the time stamp numbers in the upper corner, are fucky wucky.

That is how I started to notice the edited out Watermark that is included.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled

The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency

Did you read the whole piece? I was skeptical about the featured couple (and don't like their weird political neutrality), but in the context of others who are marrying friends or have polyam marriages with an ace spouse, it seems reasonable for people to define their partnerships how they want to.

More of our tax dollars wasted because Trump is butt hurt over his 34 felony indictments for crimes he ACTUALLY committed as opposed to these charges Pam Bondi made up against James. This is gonna get embarrassing when they have no evidence.

Books are still being banned, but most remain on shelves thanks to heroes who refuse to bow to censorship.

Librarians, teachers, students, and readers everywhere are keeping the flame of free expression alive.
Stand with them.
Speak out.

BREAKING: A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Trump from deploying federalized National Guard troops into Chicago.

This ruling reinforces what we already knew: It is illegal for the president to use manufactured emergencies to send soldiers into our cities.
