@KevinLamb74 @Danayoub Sue them for defamation.

"I'm standing on the shoulders of giants." "I love our past and where we came from, and I want to make sure we're honoring and bringing as much of that back as we can." -Dan Ayoub, New Head of D&D at WOTC, Gary Con 2026 If this is true @Danayoub, then I can safely say that I speak for the vast majority of longtime fans of not just the original versions of the game, but also the original authors (Gygax, Arneson, Kuntz, et al), in that I was absolutely disgusted by the vile and patently untrue accusations made by Jon Peterson and Jason Tondro against those who wrote and played the earlier editions in the opening Forewords of the "Making of Original Dungeons & Dragons" book. The fact that they literally trashed the very creators and contents that the book *was supposed to be celebrating* was one of the worst decisions that WOTC ever allowed. Please consider recalling all unsold copies and completely scrubbing the names of Peterson and Tondro from the book, replace their libelous text with a proper and respectful introduction, and re-release it. Oh and please make sure that the "problematic" Gods, Demi-Gods, and Heroes is properly added as well since that was a glaring and totally uncalled for omission. Then commission Jeff Easley to paint ALL NEW covers for each and every "orange spine" AD&D hardcover (PLUS Fiend Folio which never got the orange spine treatment) and re-release them with premium stitching and minus the typos of the earlier print on demand scans. THAT would be awesome, and combined with a corrected "Making of" book would be huge steps in the right direction.

@BuzzPatterson Please pray for all, but I ask, all - please pray a special prayer for this Air Traffic Controller. Please. Few realise how dangerous and demanding this job is... and even fewer realise how few hold up the woeght of the world upon their shoulders.💔

My heart breaks for the families involved and it breaks for the controller. Listen to the very end of the tape.😢

@Michaeljos92972 This is so beautiful💖I am praying for you , Michael. Rest.

CAREGIVERS SYNDROME by Michael Whelan My nieces are here, and it’s been… wonderful. Truly. We’ve taken long walks together—well, long for them. For me, they feel like marathons I barely finish, each step a quiet negotiation with a body that doesn’t want to cooperate anymore. Still, I go. Because they're here. Because I want to feel something normal again. Last night, they took me to a comedy show at the Universal CityWalk Hard Rock Cafe. A room full of laughter. Real laughter. The kind that used to come so easily. I even laughed a few times myself. Or at least something close to it. You’d think I’d feel better. But I don’t. I feel exhausted. Not the kind of tired that sleep fixes. The kind that settles into your bones and refuses to leave. Like a cell phone stuck on 1%… dimmed, flickering, holding on—but barely. And what’s even stranger cruel, really—is that I’m so exhausted… I can’t sleep. My body is begging for rest. My mind won’t allow it. So I lie there, awake in the dark, wondering how something so full of love… could leave me feeling this empty. They don’t tell you that love can make your body collapse. They tell you caregiving is noble. They tell you it’s an act of devotion. They tell you you’re strong. What they don’t tell you… is that one day you’ll wake up and feel like your bones have turned to sand. I can barely move. Not because I’m lazy. Not because I’ve given up. But because for so long, I didn’t have permission to stop. Caregiver syndrome isn’t loud. It doesn’t arrive like a storm. It seeps in—quietly, politely—like a leak behind the walls of your life. A little less sleep here. A little more worry there. Another night listening for breathing instead of dreaming your own dreams. Until one day… you realize you’ve disappeared. Your body keeps the score of every moment you pushed through. Every time you said, “I’m fine,” when you were anything but. Every time you chose their comfort over your survival. And you would do it again. That’s the cruelest part. Because love—real love—doesn’t keep receipts. It just gives. And gives. And gives… until there’s nothing left but a man sitting on the edge of a bed, wondering why standing up feels like climbing Everest. I can barely move. Grief is part of it now, too. Because caregiving doesn’t just take your energy— it slowly prepares your heart for a goodbye you are never ready to say. And when that goodbye comes… your body finally stops. Not in peace. But in collapse. The adrenaline that carried you for months… years… disappears. The purpose that kept you upright is suddenly gone. And what’s left is a quiet house, a hollow chest, and a body that says: “I can’t do this anymore.” Caregiver syndrome is loving someone so deeply that you forget you are someone worth saving too. It’s sitting in silence, unable to move, not because you’re weak but because you were strong for far too long. And no one saw the cost. No one saw the nights you broke down in the dark. The mornings you stitched yourself back together with nothing but willpower. The invisible war you fought with your own mind just to keep going one more day. You weren’t just caring for someone you loved. You were holding the entire world together with trembling hands. And now those hands are tired. So tired. If you can barely move today… it isn’t failure. It’s the truth finally catching up with you. It’s your body whispering or maybe begging— for the same compassion you gave so freely to someone else. You didn’t lose your strength. You gave it away. Piece by piece. Out of love. And maybe just maybe the most heartbreaking part of all… is that you would do it all over again for one more moment with her.

@LoriMills4CA42 I am praying, Lori💖God is holding you.

10:00 today! Pray. ( Pacific time) Jesus is Lord!

@stephenRB4 I am doing my best, and the best I can give you is me💖

I don’t care. I don’t care. I don’t care. I don’t want to read your AI scraped slop. You can argue with me until the cows come home about its benefits and how it’s ’the future of writing’. I don’t care. Give me Bronte, Stoker, Tolkien, Shelley, Plath, and Wilde. Give me the thousands and thousands of fantastic contemporary authors there are out there today, writing across all fiction genres and non fiction. Give me flawed, but brilliant, passionate prose and poetry not your bland and soulless drivel. I don’t care.

@WatcherDamned @ReviewsPossum I'd rather not bring this up regularly because I don't want my work to be about myself, rather my characters. But I still wrote this to grieve my mom. My process was painful. Didn't take meds, didn't see a shrink. I used writing to confront my pain. Misrepresenting my work?

This AI text detector says Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address was written by AI.

@matrixbearer13 @KevinLamb74 The Creators and Players WOTC defamed have been attacked by their ginned-up hate mob and accused of crimes NEVER COMMITED in permanent pages on their internet of lies - it will never be enough.

@WatcherDamned @KevinLamb74 100% even than that might not be enough

From the Luke Gygax Press Event at Gary Con (link to video in the first reply.) Luke says that the new head of D&D apologized to him twice for how his family was treated by WOTC. He got emotional while saying that he can't believe he's going to get to contribute to new official Greyhawk supplements, and that the name "Gygax," "Greyhawk," and "Dungeons & Dragons" will once again be combined in an official capacity, something that he previously thought would never happen again. When asked what he could share about what he is looking forward to bringing to the new Greyhawk products: "I love 5E for expanding the customer base, but this new fangled Dungeons & Dragons is too easy!" Wants to write alternate rules that will make Greyhawk more "Gygaxian." Wants to feature his childhood character Melf the "right way," since he was never happy with how he has been portrayed as both a character and in art. He even hated the original LJN toy, since it was originally a completely different character (Peralay from Quest for the Heartstone), and looks nothing like his own character (Melf doesn't have blond hair.) Wants adventures to be dangerous, not cakewalks, and for characters to not feel like they should be walking around in tights and a cape (superheroes.) Wants the game to incorporate more problem solving. If there is a movie he'd like David Harbour to play his dad and then when someone asked who would play him he joked "the guy who played Reacher, or uh, John Cena, yeah those guys are probably the closest," lol. I do think that Luke is a genuinely kind and good guy, and believes that this is the very best thing he can do to honor his dad's legacy, keep the family name in the ongoing pop culture consciousness, and do justice to the setting he grew up with. And for that I'm happy for him and hope that he is pleased with the results.

@JGregory2510 @RobertBairdCEO @nicksortor Agreed - but in this case the warning to watch for JZA646 is not there. Reported foggy conditions and JZA646 approach at 147mph means the truck could not see them in time. Still you correct- trust but verify is important. This is a tragic error compounded by staffing issues.

@WatcherDamned @RobertBairdCEO @nicksortor I worked in a big airport, too. Tower saying “you’re clear to cross runway at E2, watch out traffic 737 taking off on runway 24L” means you let the 737 pass before crossing the runway. Oftentimes accidentss cause by lack of common sense whoever trying to cross the active runway.

🚨 BREAKING: MASS CASUALTY EVENT DECLARED AT LaGUARDIA AIRPORT IN NEW YORK CITY An Air Canada flight has crashed into a fire truck on the runway with at least 100 injuries reported — many of them critical Rapidly developing Pray for the victims 🙏🏻

@TiagoRResende @ReviewsPossum Agreed💔

@WatcherDamned @ReviewsPossum I think will get to that point before long. This social culture around the arts when it comes to AI, is becoming absolutely unfair to people like myself and the general impunity with this behavior will come to a head one day. Then everyone's gonna cry.

@SSteele_TX @BuzzPatterson Truck 1 requested clearance, received clearance, confirmed clearance and rolled. Truck 1 followed all protocols, and unfortunately it appears Tower was being required to work Air AND Ground, which even if necessary in this emergency is NOT protocol. 💔

@BuzzPatterson If the audio is correct it would seem that the fire truck went without approval and then failed to respond when ordered to stop. Not much ATC could do at that point except pray.

Sounds like the LaGuardia ATC had one guy working ground AND tower. That’s insane. Of all places, not there!

@MinksNMingle @Rightanglenews A GREAT song, along with Dirty Laundry!

@WatcherDamned @Rightanglenews They forgotten gem! Excellent song.

BREAKING - It’s now been revealed the Cuban regime was forced to deploy armed security to protect the five-star hotel where champagne socialists like Hasan were staying, fearing locals might attempt to storm it in protest of the country’s electricity being diverted to the hotel.

@RobertBairdCEO @JGregory2510 @nicksortor It's brutal💔previous traffic was for an emergency turnaround in a United Flight, odor in Cockpit; no response from gate, so he was handling that call and lost track of JZA646. My heart breaks for him too.

@JGregory2510 @WatcherDamned @nicksortor ATC error

@CraigTStewart @ReviewsPossum noooooooo because evidently Copyright Law only applies to us... not them

@WatcherDamned @ReviewsPossum Precisely the problem! And did you get compensated for the use of such programatic training?

@Justin_Nomura_ @PilotPoli I understand the sorrow, because there, my Brother. But I pray without ceasing, and I have seen Miracles - as Volunteer FireFighter and EMT, I pray for steady nerves and a courageous heart; as a Mother and Wife, I pray for Hope - and here, now, I pray for you💖

@WatcherDamned @PilotPoli Prayers don't work

ATC controller who cleared Firetruck to cross RWY4 at LGA in front of a landing CRJ admits "“I messed up” on ATC recording shortly after the accident. Gut-renching stuff.
