Do not get used to it.
Do not look away.
Do not stay silent.

Russian troops are executing civilians in Pokrovsk.

Yea… nope!

Yet another example of the “peace” they want.

A level 1 enchantment spell that does thunder damage in a 5’ cone… that ought to do it!

That's exactly why I could never get into D&D Beyond. We use Foundry at my tables because of the flexibility to add whatever you need wherever you need it, very quickly and easily. Not to mention it's a one time purchase.

Of course, we play from 400 miles apart so YMMV!

Whelp, looks like I'm defaulting to my Amex from now on.

That’s a sick paint job. Nicely done.

We ventured out to Costco this weekend. By far the busiest place we’ve been all year. Nugget did fantastically despite a ton of people actively trying to distract her. A friendly reminder to everyone: if you see a #ServiceDog in public, please don’t try to get their attention.

So glad Trump and his team remain focused on lowering the cost of living for everyday Americans, rather than pushing radical ideologies or anything like that.

Screenshot of ChatGPT losing its mind and rambling incoherently.

Was just clearing out my folders when I found a screenshot of the time I'm pretty sure I gave #ChatGPT a stroke. What's amazing is that despite the incoherent ramblings of a mad mind, the script it wrote worked perfectly the first time. Go figure!
