You can acknowledge the achievement without celebrating the man. Much of the advancements we have made in the last seven decades of biology have come from our understanding of the DNA molecule.

Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."

JUST IN: Jane Goodall, primatologist who transformed our understanding of the lives of apes, has died, according to an announcement from the Jane Goodall Institute.

@mysticartsdm.bsky.social I realize that you are planning to do your own video on linking a narrative for Heroes of the Borderlands, so I didn't leave it in the comments there, but @alphastream.bsky.social has a really good suggestion on how to have a narrative through-line and stakes here.

Kaleb Horton, again: "It's sad how many RTs you get by saying the world is ending instead of admitting the scary truth that it's not and there's work to do in it."

War-ravaged Portland, 5 minutes ago

Hiked 6 miles in Forest Park, ran errands around town, then came home to hear the news that my city is being called “war torn.” I honestly never thought I would live to see misinformation in the United States exceed the levels I experienced growing up in Colombia. Truly sad.

@ghostfiregaming.bsky.social, @thebenbyrne.bsky.social and @shawnmerwin.bsky.social, I think @mysticartsdm.bsky.social video on Magic Item Crafting rules for 5e would be a good follow-up on your discussion of Homebrew from this week's podcast. youtu.be/3RsuFtgOeW0?... #ttrpg #DnD

You've heard that #Criticalrole is switching to the 2024 rules of D&D 5e for season 4. They've announced their characters, but you need a primer on *what changed* for each class between the old and new rules to be ready for October 2nd? I've got you. youtu.be/41x0EjkxATU

The announcement of health insurance companies that they’ll continue covering routine vaccinations is a huge vote of no confidence in ACIP's recommendations. It reflects a desire by insurers to avoid the cost of illnesses by having their customers vaccinated. Gift link:

This trailer is so good and cheesy in the best ways. It gives me fuzzy good feelings.

It is really impressive that physical copies of Heroes of the Borderlands are already sold out on D&D Beyond! That's amazing and well deserved support for this product! #DnD #TTRPG

Lots of really great advice in this video, but one stands out. Teos suggests when awarding a Common magic item, use the Magic Item's Minor Properties and Magic Item's Quirk tables from the DMG and add that property to the item to make it more unique and memorable. #DnD #TTRPG

Received my @dndbeyond.com Starter Set today, and it is impressive. @justiceraminarman.bsky.social really did a remarkable job putting this all together! 1.5x depth of previous box, but chock-full and weighty. Play Guide and Adventure booklets are glossy-print and stitch-bound! (not stapled)

The thing about living in a human society is you either decide that everyone (except those for whom it would be medically dangerous) has to take VACCINES into their bodies or everyone (with no exceptions at all) has to take VIRULENT PATHOGENS in from those around them and, look, the first is better.

Pope Leo XIV on Sunday called for an end to the “pandemic of arms, large and small,” as he prayed publicly for the victims of a shooting during a Catholic school Mass in the United States. https://to.pbs.org/3HBPmP3

@masteringdnd.bsky.social and @alphastream.bsky.social this is the new metric to pretenders to the TTRPG throne… when they have their own official Crochet Book, we will know there is a new king of the realms! 👑🐉

Excellent discussion about the concerted effort to undermine vaccines in the United States. It is worth 20 minutes of your time to watch it.

TWiV 1245 reviews fraudulent science becoming an industry, FDA may not authorize Pfizer COVID vaccine for young kids, Kennedy won't push strict pesticide regulations conserved betacoronavirus sequences recognized by human T cells, and Bispecific antibodies protect against herpes recurrent disease

Привет, товарищи! It’s another glorious day in which Trump’s America is increasingly indistinguishable from Stalinist Russia, so I thought an armchair comparative analysis was in order. Specifically about Jay Bhattacharya's twin from times past, Trofim Lysenko. open.substack.com/pub/rasmusse...

In the past decade or so, actors and comedians have adopted D&D as a performance medium. Podcasts and web series have expanded into stadium tours – and fueled growing interest in the game more broadly.

"Mr. Kennedy continues to use words that make it sound like he knows what he's talking about. But, in fact, he doesn't," Michael Osterholm, the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, said of the HHS secretary.

And @shawnmerwin.bsky.social your intersectional ideology is so sharp. Enough RPG infighting. More fighting against trashy TV, our real enemy =P

@alphastream.bsky.social @masteringdnd.bsky.social pretty good CNBC segment on the economics of D&D from December 2024. youtu.be/ey3YyfV6IDk?...

This is proof that Project2025 charlatans know beyond doubt that there is a significant human contribution to Climate Change. But instead of investing on retooling our society into one that moves to solar, wind, tidal, and nuclear power, they are just going to blind us all to the unfolding disaster.
