Went to the State Faire. Was lured in by the bright colors.Ate far too many fried items.

GREAT Eberron session last night. My 10yo designed the encounters, items, and even created and drew M4RK the Mechanical Mimic that the group’s bard befriended by feeding it coal. Final boss fight was against the Ochre Jelly Queen. Skeleton torso fused with an Ochre Jelly. Terrifying.

The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force. Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon. Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.

The Doctor is an owl and their companion is Stuart Little. Instead of sexual tension, there’s predator / prey tension. In the opening episode, a “getting to know you” joke is shared between the two. 🦉 Knock Knock 🐭 Who’s there? 🦉 The Doctor 🐭 The Doctor, Who? 🦉 Just the Doctor.

So, @blizzard.com I know you’re busy with BlizzCon right now. But when you get back in the office, let’s talk about #DiabloV and the new #StarCraft project. I want to return to some my game industry roots and do some voices. My 32 year career started at Blizzard. Seems like a right time to return.

Who Hatched this plan? Every other sitting U.S. Attorney General followed the Hatch Act and stayed away from political campaign rallies. But the handful of Americans tuning into tonight’s GOP midterm convention will be treated to the spectacle of Todd Blanche turning his office and the Department of Justice into partisan campaign props by becoming the first U.S. Attorney General in history to address a political party convention.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

It takes you 20 paragraphs to get to the part of the article where they admit that Mamdani isn't paying the influencers and the reason they are posting videos of the stuff Mamdani is doing is because people are interested in watching it.

The mayor’s office says that it does not pay the influencers. Still, their proximity and access to a figure as popular as Mr. Mamdani can help increase their own social media following and, by extension, potentially put them in a position to attract paid content sponsorships from commercial brands. Some influencers said that when they feature Mr. Mamdani, the videos get more likes and viewers watch longer.
