Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

No one will ever sum up Bari Weiss's career more succinctly than "what's the point of standards"
“Standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She asks ‘What’s the point of standards?’

The queue of blog articles is growing dangerously short, but I feel like my brain space is occupied by 1) the IRL world falling apart, 2) trying to gear up for my January campaign, and so I just seemingly *cannot* make the time or space to write.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

A great write-up on how to use zombies as not only an effective threat, but a great allegory in your D&D games, highly recommend giving it a read (and not *just* because it praises one of my products :P)
