I make things from imagination and coffee.

@GretaKKelly That sounds incredible!

@zipitelle I'd buy this based solely on the cover and title/subtitle.

@howardtayler Always have a laptop with my session and campaign notes in an outliner and a monitor turned so I can show the players pictures of NPCs, monsters, and places. Sometimes use digital maps on a big screen. The players still prefer to use physical dice and physical character sheets.

@VLumani - Reading FORETOLD on my vacation. Just finished chapter 1, and it’s fantastic. Glad I get to read more than 20 pages this time.

[John Lammers @JohnLammers]

@VLumani Wishing your mom well.

@EstherNight2 @RFaithEditorial To each his own, but I think it has a Bradbury-esque music to it.

The hardcover TALES FROM THE HINTERLAND by @mimi_albert is a gorgeous artifact and totally helping me convince myself I’m enjoying drinking coffee and reading in the freezing cold outside my local independent bookstore. (Maybe should’ve waited another week.)

[John Lammers @JohnLammers]

I really loved THE HAZEL WOOD by @mimi_albert. It reminds me of Neil Gaiman's blending of mundane with the fantastic. The prose is beautiful, and the voice is so strong. The author’s way of conveying information and characterization is sharp, economical, and sometimes unexpected.

@evanescence I love this album so much. My pre-order hasn't arrived, but I've been wearing a groove in the internet, playing this on Spotify. After the longish hiatus, I was concerned about this one, but it's as strong as the rest--still Evanescence without being just a rehash of old sounds.

[John Lammers @JohnLammers]

@Aimee_Marie_S With you there. Loved the show, but at some point, it started messing with my real-life moods too much.

[John Lammers @JohnLammers]

@GretaKKelly @bnbooks My pre-order arrived today. I’m excited to get to it. It’s next in the queue.

@tomkleingers The accusations of fraud aren’t themselves the incitement; they’re fuel. He spent weeks getting people riled up, and then directed them to March on the Capitol using language that seems to me (and evidently to them) designed to inspire violent action to take control of it.

[John Lammers @JohnLammers]

@tomkleingers Insurrection is a strong term, and I don't use it lightly. I'm confident that it's appropriate (and legally correct) here. I've no doubt that some people thought they were just playing at this and making a show, and I agree they had no chance, but this isn't stuff to play at.

[John Lammers @JohnLammers]

@tomkleingers Let me try that a different way. I think we’re largely in agreement, Tom. But I don’t think a person who has different opinions or different intensities of feeling about situations that are, in fact, different is necessarily being hypocritical.

[John Lammers @JohnLammers]

@tomkleingers I agree that violence never gets a free pass. I don’t think it’s valid to equate all protests or judge them solely on the basis of how much destruction or violence there is, though. Their cause and goals matter as well, and no action like that is monolithic.

[John Lammers @JohnLammers]

@tomkleingers Violence and insurrection are different things. Both are bad. One is vastly more dangerous and far-reaching. A leader inciting either, in an attempt to remain in power or boost his chances for future power, is different in kind from a protest turned violent.

[John Lammers @JohnLammers]

This app makes it very easy to contact your members of Congress if you want them to do something like...I don’t know...maybe remove a President who incites insurrection. https://t.co/f6EWy4bokM

@mischakrilov Hey Mischa, Brennen Reece does some good work. He did the EpicTable logo.

@literaticat @Aimee_Marie_S My understanding is that impeachment proceedings don’t have to conclude before he’s out of office, and it prevents him from holding office in the future.
