The idea that these words came out of the mouth of a District Attorney is utterly apalling: "She never says that she was drugged without her knowledge. She admits to taking drugs and alcohol voluntarily and with knowledge. She does not allege that she was forced to engage in any acts. (cont'd)

(Shared this on Facebook, but just as appropriate here) Today is Rosh Hashanah. For Jews, that means we are entering a new year, and a period of reflection, of gratitude, and of confession for our individual and collective shortcomings.

BTW if you enjoyed Nolan's "The Odyssey" (or any version of that story), I have a free RPG PDF (d20/3E/PF) about playing in mythic Greece called The New Argonauts: • Drivethru link: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/1... • 5E conversion by @mikemyler.bsky.social: mikemyler.com/2018/02/11/d...

cover of The New Argonauts, featuring an illustration by Gerald Lee. The cover art three vertical panels. The left and right panels are each a Greek warrior wearing an impressive helm and carrying a shield. The middle panel is an illustration of the Greek "monster" Scylla; from the waist up she is a beautiful dark-haired woman and from the waist down she is six serpents each with the head of a ferocious dog. Beneath Scylla is a tiny illustration of a Greek ship approaching Scylla's silhouette.

No matter what fandom or space you're happy in, there is almost certainly a Community Manager you need to thank. They take infinite flak, receive zero credit for the work they do, and are the conduit between The Audience and the creative team in both directions. Thank your local CM, y'all. Twice.

As we get ready for the last day of #GenCon, I'm still buzzed and excited about the wonderful #ForgottenRealms seminar we had on Thursday night, Candlekeep Presents.

A portrait of Candlekeep, the fortress monastery library of the Forgotten Realms. To the right, letters read Candlekeep Presents: A Dozen and One, beneath which is an emblem of a bronze tree with leaves of green, orange, and brown, and thirteen leaves of distinct species and colors falling towards its roots.

At the bottom, it reads Thanks To:
with the logos for Beadle & Grimm's, WizKids, D&D Beyond, and Gen Con.

I just realized that the 2024 rules for multiclassing only fixed the rounding rules for the "half" caster classes (i.e. artificer, paladin, ranger), and not the one-third subclasses (arcane trickster, etc.), and I have a grump. Nothing major, but it was a chance to clean things up. #dnd

This has been gnawing at me for a week now, so I'm going to just say it. If you are social climber in a relatively small space, people see you. You may get where you want, but stepping on and over people isn't the way to do it, even with a smile on your face. Good luck on the way down.

Take the time to hype your friends. To the public, to their faces, whatever the moment calls for. It costs you nothing but a few seconds, but it's proof that their well-being matters to you even when it doesn't benefit you in the least.

Some uncomfortable truths: As I get older, I realize more and more that being happy is less about feeling fulfilled than it is about being secure to pursue fulfillment. And security often requires a lot of hard, boring, sustained work before it materializes.

Gaetz was just re-elected to the House. His resignation is from the 118th Congress. Any vacancy in the 119th Congress doesn't start until members are sworn in on January 3rd. DeSantis can't actually call a special election until Gaetz refuses to take his seat in January.
