I frequently hear arguments against physically disabled characters in TTRPGs, but none of them hold up for me.
(I'm also naturally going to disregard opinions with a clear anti-inclusivity agenda; they don't add anything to the discussion.) (1/6)
A white woman saying Black excellence exposes white mediocrity probably wasn’t on your 2026 bingo card, but that’s exactly why Jennifer Welch’s comments are getting so much attention.

.@elonmusk says that no one can name a person who died from his aid cuts. In fact, I've met the kids who are dying, and I've talked to the families who lost children. In my columns, I've cited many, many names of people who have died because of Musk's aid cuts. A few examples:
*Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
*Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of his cuts to malaria medication in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village.
*Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after he interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him.
*Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when Musk cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to the healthcare workers.
I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge Musk: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.
#BREAKING: Sen Tammy Duckworth: “…remember that the federal government messes things up and it’s hard to get things fixed, so if they take over our voter rolls and start to just delete people off of those voter rolls because you know, you have the same name as someone else who died, good luck trying to get yourself back on those voter rolls. I deal all the time in constituent services with people who have been declared dead by the government, and then they spend six months to a year trying to get their social security check again, and so this is about disenfranchising voters, but it’s also really really dangerous because this is fundamentally against our democracy. Every American has a right to vote…It should be an EASY thing for you to vote…”👊
So the lady spending *billions* to protect the oceans, forests, and feed the worlds poorest is making the world a "worse place"?
2018 Elon would have hated 2026 Elon. Too bad he's not around anymore. Don't do drugs kids.
Jon Ossoff: “They worked harder burying the Epstein Files than they ever worked to lower your grocery bill. And while you pay more for everything, the Trumps are raking in billions. Illegal tariffs, failed war, healthcare cuts, and unmatched corruption. 34% approval and a presidential legacy cemented in disgrace”
Republicans: We're voting Trump for lower rent, & housing prices.
Trump: I changed my mind. I don't want to hurt landlords or homeowners.
Republicans: The Dems want to hurt landlords & homeowners!
Peter Doocy claims "people are still coming out" to Trump's 250th fair -- even as the camera shot shows clearly behind him that almost nobody is there 😆
#BREAKING: Velshi: He wrote an entire book about DEI being our weakness, how women were not suited to be in the military. Why are people surprised about Pete Hegseth?
Basil Smikle: “…anyone that served in WWII would never say that the Tuskegee Airmen were a waste. They would never say that, and I wonder, could a Colin Powell exist in Hegseth’s army today? He couldn’t…so this isn’t really just about DEI, this is literally an attack on Black people…on women…on people of color…If you don’t like a policy, you can fix a policy, but this is intentional about going after people and taking them out of service…and it is important as you said, that these were senior individuals because the qualifications are unmistakable…and it’s decades of service…”🤔
i think people from the US officially lost their right to being smug and mock chinas authoritarian surveillance state the past decade or so
you have AI flock cameras, palantir, massive surveillance state, being slave to billionaires, cant even touch a pool of water
The Buttigiegs have experienced a nightmare that should never have happened at all.
I hope whoever is responsible is found and held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. https://t.co/mFaGCzZYJB
Sen. Warren: "What's the annual wage growth right now? It's just a facts question."
Phelan: "I do not have that in front of me right now."
Warren: "It's 3.4%. So let's put this one together. Is 4.2% higher than 3.4%?"
Phelan: "I will repeat what I said, which is real wage growth in this administration is positive."
Sen. Warren: "Right now families are falling behind...You have now made clear what your position is, and that is you can't even do the basic facts...You can't bring yourself as the person who sits there and says, 'I want to be the head of the Council of Economic Advisors,' and you can't even say, 'Yeah, inflation is running higher than wages right now'...I think this person has disqualified himself in five minutes."
Ms. Rachel: "Where have you been, leaders? Did you not see these kids as kids because of where they were born? 20,000 children killed. 151 starved to death.
A quadcopter shooting a baby breastfeeding in a tent. Did you not think they had beating hearts like your kids? How can you go to sleep at night knowing you said nothing?"
Funny, all the Nordic states have socialist policies that include free healthcare, free education, and strong safety nets. They are all ranked at the top for standard of living.
STEINER: Can you tell me what those statues are, because I don't know
ANDY KIM: You don't come to us for the cheat codes. This is something you should be aware of.
STEINER: I am absolutely aware of it
KIM: So can you tell me then what the difference is between Title 39 and Title 13?
STEINER: I'm not a lawyer, no I could not
KIM: I'm not a lawyer either, but I know the difference
