@dndbeyond.com Please update the Encounter Builder feature and keep it available. I play in person.

I subscribed to D&dbeyond in 2017 because it was the highest quality tool available. For my encounter building, that is not currently the case. I want to use your service. Please help me do that.

I don't want to see another PowerPoint ever again. My attention span cannot handle it. I need someone to write their notes out illegibly on a whiteboard as their talking. If you're showing me a PowerPoint there better be text transitions and star wipes on every slide.

Blatantly using ICE to silence political dissonance. He is here legally. He has rights.

Counting on the courts to protect us.

Good morning...

I have some thoughts.

1. We should use the upside down American flag as our symbol of defiance. We are now fighting for the Constitution. We are the patriots now, and even though the American flag is more often waved by the right, we can change that.

In response to all of the harmful and stressful policy happening right now, I'm committed to being twice as funny for the next four years.

Take back your attention.

Honestly can't remember what I did in my highschool finance class, but it should have been this and it wasn't. It's free, and mobile friendly. You don't have to get a degree to benefit from education.

I'm definitely a hypocrite here, but if you're going to engage, you might as well be mindful and strategic about it. Anxiety and doom scrolling isn't solving anything. Neither is watching political commentators. We need to get organized locally.

Brace yourself... Politics.

People don't get news from the same sources anymore and that can be a problem. I'm not an expert by any means, but here are my green flags for news sources in no particular order.

eep

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

I have news…that place where you got food poisoning is probably not where you got the food poisoning.
