@HeroForgeMinis Glendizzy the grig is more than a fey creature, he’s a celestial courie from the Court of Stars. He was sent to the material plane to accompany and serve the hidden Ghaele Phidias, who was himself tasked with protecting and mentoring the Spellfire Wizard, Caolin Dhauntrael.

@Hoopss “Hmmm…that’s very devout, but ultimately none of my business.”

I’d only be mildly annoyed if he blocked traffic up and down the aisles or was loud enough to be disruptive, because your religious expression is no concern of mine until it interferes with anyone else’s freedom.

[Forge Of Heroes @HeroOfTheForge]

@HeroForgeMinis The cranky, cantankerous old Svirfneblin fighter/hexblade warlock named Grygg Stoneshutter from the isolated gnomish mining village of Ieirithymbul in the Sword Mountains, wielder of matched magic adamantine hammers. He dreams of restoring the lost Hanging City of Dolbunde.

@HeroForgeMinis Forest gnome swarmkeeper ranger/land druid, Fiona Glittershade. She may seem harmless, but don't cross her, or you'll get a face full of magic stone sling shots and a shocking swarm of her fey lightning bugs.

Don’t sleep on her friend Tickles (or let him sleep on you!)

@HeroForgeMinis Hey! I know that guy 😉

Sheriff Chris Swanson, the elected Sheriff of Genesee County, Michigan, is a career law-enforcement officer, not a pundit. He became nationally known in 2020 for prioritizing de-escalation during protests. What he says about the Minneapolis shooting directly exposes how bad MAGA-era policing policies fail.

Swanson calls the shooting tragic but predictable. Masked federal agents in unmarked vehicles confronted a 37-year-old woman, gave unclear commands, and then fired three shots as her car was backing up and turning away. The agent who fired was not hit, not run over, and not in the vehicle’s path. Two shots were fired as the car was already driving away.

That is not lawful deadly force. That is bad policy producing bad outcomes.

Swanson is blunt about the force continuum. You do not shoot people who are fleeing. You do not shoot when you are not in danger. “Tough on crime” slogans do not override use-of-force standards, no matter how loudly MAGA politicians repeat them.

What follows is worse. After the woman was shot and crashed, Swanson saw no attempt at life-saving aid. No urgency. No trauma response. He contrasts this with his own deputies, who once returned fire on a suspect who had already killed two people, then immediately tried to save his life anyway. That is professional policing. What happened in Minneapolis was not.

He also points to missing body cams and officers leaving the scene instead of securing it for investigation. These are not accidents. They are the results of policies that reward aggression and optics over training and accountability.

Swanson makes one thing clear. Calling this out is not anti-police. Blind loyalty is what damages law enforcement. Accountability is what protects it.
