I actually have friends that live in the corncob… the apartments are very metropolitan and dramatic in a Wes Anderson way.
I have been informed it is a problematic building with astoundingly high condo fees, but I don't care.
One day, my love. One day.
One day, my love. One day.

Mining Guild X Korvus Security Conglomerate
A financially beneficial collaboration.
The Empire appointed Korvus as Ord Avis' protector for one simple reason. Keep the Avicite flowing. No matter the human cost.
The Mining Guild provides most legal employment on the planet, including the party.

Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

I never thought I would be learning about the types of pedophilia from Megyn Kelly.
To me it all the definitions read as: “I’m sexualizing someone that I should not be, but I just keep refining the definitions in hopes of maintaining some societal acceptance.”

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.
But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.
A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.
