This matcha soda (with mango sparkling water) from @fridaytea.com is the best thing I’ve tasted all week. So perfect for this hot summer day. 🍵

Booker @ people who "believed [Trump] would lower their grocery prices":
"Are you better off than you were 72 [days] ago financially? The answer, for most people who believed in him, is no. Because he didn't set out do to anything to lower prices—he set out to rename the Gulf of Mexico, to threaten Canada, to say 'I'm going to take over Greenland.' [...] He's increased your costs, taxed your bedrock services. Stock market tumbles, your 401k accounts are less. inflation is up. Consumer confidence is down."

Still more from Murphy addressing—thanking!—Booker:
“You have been able to pique a conversation here, among our colleagues, whom we need to stand with us, eventually, against this retreat, and across this country. And I think we are here, as we reach a pivotal hour, to just say thank you for having the courage, the audacity, to bring us on this journey. […] I think you will see, when you finally leave this chamber, that you have done something extraordinary—that you didn’t solve the problem, we are still a long ways from being able to successfully beat back this retreat, but you have accomplished something extraordinary.”

More from Sen Chris Murphy:
“And you have recognized, rightly, that this multifaceted retreat from everything that makes this country so special, and the speed of that retreat over the last 71 days, it is an exceptional moment. […] It is not normal what this administration has been doing to rob from us the values that used to unite left and right in this nation. And so you made this bold decision to engage in an exceptional tactic, to declare 24 hours ago, that you were going to stand on this floor for as long as you could to try to raise the specter of failure in our fight against this retreat for our colleagues and for the American public.”

Murphy seems to have spent the last 24 hours on the Senate floor listening to Booker and writing a great speech:
"What you have done here today, Senator Booker, couldn't be more different than what occurred on this floor in 1957. Strom Thurmond was standing in the way of inevitable progress toward equal political and economic rights for Black Americans. It was inevitable only because the people of this nation were standing up at that moment, the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement, to make clear that progress was inevitable. 

“Today, you are standing in the way not of progress but of retreat. You are standing in the way of retreat from the rule of law, retreat from our commitment to provide care to the most vulnerable, retreat from our common cause—at least we used to be in common cause—that we would have zero tolerance for corruption at the highest levels of government.”

Booker quotes Judge Learned Hand:

"It is not the ruthless, the unbridled will; it is not freedom to do as one likes. That is the denial of liberty, and leads straight to its overthrow."
And what is this liberty which must lie in the hearts of men and women? It is not the ruthless, the unbridled will; it is not freedom to do as one likes. That is the denial of liberty, and leads straight to its overthrow. A society in which men recognize no check upon their freedom soon becomes a society where freedom is the possession of only a savage few; as we have learned to our sorrow.

When Clara showed me the cover of Tempting Fate, I immediately knew what I had to do.

Presenting: Himbo simp Purvan Suul, down bad for his queen. I'll leave you to imagine what happens on page 69.

Pages 67 and 68 from Tempting Fate Excerpt: “Yes, my queen?” He turns to face her—his queen, his goddess, the architect of his fate. Dark hair tumbling around an impassive white mask, cascading across her shoulders and framing the sliver of golden skin revealed by her flowing black robe. “I see the way you look at me, champion.”

Flame Tongue 🔥⚔️ -> 😡👅
Blame Tongue Weapon (Any Melee Weapon), Rare (Requires Attunement)

 When you hit a creature with this sentient weapon, it jeers at the creature for not avoiding your blow. The creature must succeed on a DC 15 Charisma saving throw or have Disadvantage on their next D20 Test. Cursed. When you miss with an attack using this weapon, it scolds you for doing a bad job, giving you Disadvantage on your next attack using the Blame Tongue.

Take a peek at my design process and session prep—and download the Frozen Treasure Chest trap with a sidebar I couldn't resist giving this title....
The Cold Never Bothered Me Anyway The Frozen Treasure Chest trap is most effective when the explosion of ice reveals hostile foes waiting to battle the characters, some of whom are about to start combat affected by the Restrained condition.

A hymn for all workers.
Do not comply in advance. Do not comply swiftly, do not comply easily. Do not comply without delay, without mistakes, without unfortunate errors. Do not comply because you have to speak to your boss. Your manager. Another team. The legal department. Do not comply because you need to consult documentation and obtain authorization from additional parties. It’s not your fault if you cannot comply. There are cross-dependencies. Unforeseen complications. Expired credentials. You’re doing your best to comply, really, but there’s a software issue and it’s going to take an additional 48 hours (again and again). Un-comply. What do you mean, the prior version is back? It must have been a scripting error, a problem at the data center, a version control conflict. It’ll get done properly this time. (It won’t.) You see incompetence and points of failure every day, from airlines and health insurance and labyrinthine phone trees. Weaponize it—softly, apologetically, innocently. Armor yourself in procedure and regulations. Defend your coworkers. It’s not their fault that error happened, it’s because there was insufficient training. A broken plug-in. A risk of a data leak. Fighting back doesn’t have to look like a fight. Comply if you must, but do so poorly. This is resistance. This matters.

The world is dark and cold, but it’s also beautiful and bright. And sometimes it is both at once, wine-dark and sun-shimmering.

According to @merriam-webster.com, "tabletop" has been around since 1738. I suspect that might refer to the term and the 1738 usage was hyphenated or open, though? (Perhaps the folks behind the excellent M-W social media can tell us?)

Also, look at the "Phrases Containing tabletop" section!
