On WOTCs Astarion Butchering, as an old MTG fan

Unfortunately, WOTC are absolutely notorious for taking their IPs and butchering them. See MTG, see them attempting it with D&D resulting in the subscription boycott, and see them now with astarion.

Larian studios are the only reason this game is good. WOTC can and absolutely will destroy everything you love about an IP in the name of attempting to milk it to death.

Update: thought my bush was dying, turns out its covered in caterpillars

Thank you kind folks of casual UK for teaching a young first time homeowner of the horrors of box caterpillars! A couple treatments of topbuxus and a session of caterpillar pulling later and my bush is officially back from the dead!

Thank you all, genuinely! I'm very surprised it's still alive given how many caterpillars came off it.

An incredibly messy end to a yakker

Teki has very much enjoyed her yakker. And managed to make a very big mess of the last microwaved bit of it.

Ive been contacted by a previous direct report to be a reference for a job application they're making. However, they were semi-recently dismissed for 2 counts of gross misconduct (social media policy & staff-student conduct policy). For context, this individual is now suing my employer because they think they got dismissed for disability discrimination.

Some part of me wants to tell them to go away and never contact me again after being this person's "support they bring into HR meetings" and learning what happened. But part of me feels a duty to let their employer know about the misconduct as I'd feel horrifically guilty if this person did what they did again..

How do I approach this? How can I write a bullet proof reference that informs the prospective employer without opening myself up to being sued or something? Do I say yes to being a reference but get my HR department to write the matter of fact for me?
