Chevron donated to Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration fund. Chevron’s CEO publicly praised trump’s energy agenda. Chevron donations: 94% Republican, 6% Democrat. Chevron is the ONLY foreign oil company allowed to operate in Venezuela. Follow the money.

Featuring a trans woman so prominently at his inauguration like this was an absolutely baller move by Zohran

As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark.

Rounding out my 2025 with a Patreon article converting the necrophidius and the qullan to 5E and Cypher System. Both originally appearing in the 1E AD&D Fiend Folio, and both were converted by me for the Living Greyhawk Journal back in the 3E days. Happy new year! www.patreon.com/posts/flashb...

I don't know what the answer is to keep local journalism going but it probably isn't web pages so choked with ads they stutter in my browser even WITH ad blocking turned on

Conventions, if you use AI do not be surprised if creators turn down your invitations to be guests or even to be on panels. Do not use tools trained on stolen work from creators and then tell them you want to honor or uplift them - that’s not what you’re doing. You’re stealing and being lazy.

I lied I have one more piece in me before the year ends. This is an experimental illustration though. I'm not great with the flat graphic stuff but I thought I'd give it a go again.

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

It is the birthday of Fritz Leiber, (pronounced Lie-ber) the man who coined the term sword & sorcery and who wrote some of the best work in the genre. I actually read Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser in prose before I read Conan.He was also a fantastic author of horror and fantasy.Just a wonderful writer.

Remember kids, writing hashtags with every first letter of a word as a capital letter makes things easier for people who use screen readers. That's because then, it reads them as separated words. ThisIsAnExample of how to do it.
