The brick campaign is the launch of larger efforts to connect with alumni, which is something the relatively young college hasn't yet developed. People who buy bricks will be invited to a special unveiling event in 2026.

DnD is looking to expand its player base by making its latest starter set more like a board game Heroes of the Borderlands uses cards for character creation

When teaching new players D&D, I've taken an approach to get them rolling dice BEFORE diving into all the character building options or using pre-generated characters. If that process is enhanced with board-game tools in a new starter set, I'm in.

YouTube is showing me ads for Sleep earbuds, and it says "Meet Sleep," but the announcer's tone of voice makes it sound like "Meat Sleep"

The position is newly created by Missouri State University to handle something that will be a challenge for universities across the country. The new VP partially replaces Zora Mulligan, who is now the chancellor of the West Plains campus.

Early US intelligence report suggests US strikes only set back Iran’s nuclear program by months A new U.S. intelligence report suggests that Iran’s nuclear program has been set back only a few months after U.S. strikes, not β€œcompletely and totally obliterated” as President Donald Trump has said.

Posting for a discussion about grammar, not current events: One of my favorite things about the word "only" is how you can move its position to dramatically change a sentence's definition. I'd argue "only" should be near the end, i.e. "by only months".

Once installed, the adult changing tables will likely be the first of their kind in Springfield public buildings. Money to place them comes from a property tax for disabled services that voters passed in 1978.

In making the decision, the MSU Board of Governors chose an option that benefitted staff members more than faculty. President Williams said the package helps keep pace with other educational institutions over the last 10 years.

Repairs to the building's elevator kept the library from opening on time, to the point where the contractor triggered deadline penalties. A larger celebration for the 120-year-old building will be scheduled later this year.

Library approves employee raises in budget; surplus to help pay for construction projects - Springfield Daily Citizen Board members on May 20 approved the spending plan for next year, which calls for $20,174,991 in both revenues and expenses.

The decision to place a $1.8 million surplus in reserves means the library won't have to borrow money through bonds or loans in order to pay its share of construction costs for three COVID-recovery projects.

The groundbreaking for Pipkin's new building will happen on a plot of land just a quarter mile away from the old one, which was opened 100 years ago.

Man, entitlement thinking is sneaky. For the longest time I've been frustrated that I can't get a peanut butter and jelly burger in SGF, but it JUST RIGHT NOW OCCURRED TO ME I can make my own PB&J burger, and completely solve my own problem. 🀯

One thing I don't get about narcissists is that there is no good payoff or reward in narcissism. Someone smarter than me reminded me, though: "That's why it's a personality disorder."

Funded mostly through COVID recovery grants, the center is hoped to provide workers for a high-demand industry. Ozarks Tech will open classes in the fall to a cohort of 24, but hopes to open more spots in a few years.

The change is slight: Rules for the previous year gave teachers the ability to grant permission for cellphone use. More information is expected from SPS closer to the start of the school year.

I finally picked up and started reading "Dungeon Crawler Carl," and even though I'm barely a couple chapters in, I now understand why I see so many Princess Donut T-shirts for sale.

The Midtown Carnegie Branch Library is hoped to reopen in the first few days of June, but Springfield-Greene County Library District officials are saving a bigger celebration of the building's 120th anniversary for later this year.

Sleep Token's new album is strangely growing on me. Rolling Stone called this band prog rock. Not sure I'd use that label, but because the band mixes so many styles, I'm not exactly sure what label to use, so I guess prog rock works Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―

A state representative revealed Rogers' name, perpetuating the misrepresentation about a transgender transition. Since then, that false narrative has been used politically, and even showed up in the 2025 race for Board of Education.

The Venn diagram of "dad jokes" and "card tricks" has a lot of overlap.

Sorry to vague-post on y'all, but you know that feeling of how a favorite song gains meaning and hits much harder when someone adds new context? That's pretty great. πŸ₯°
