Dream of the Jet-Black City releases May 14, 2026.
Dreams and Nightmares walk Onyxia's rain-soaked streets. Below, ancient secrets threaten to rot the city from within. Unless a lightning-catcher, a Nightmare-hunter and a Wailing Sister can stop it.

Point 14 shows just how much Trump considers himself to be the "President of Europe" right now (as he put it).
According to the 🇷🇺🇺🇸 "peace plan", 🇪🇺 would give the €210bn frozen Russian assets (plus €100 extra!) to the US, which would invest it in 🇺🇦 and receive the profits.

the value of human work (which I wish publishing would shout about, capitalise on, acknowledge) is that it comes from human hands. it's a scarf crocheted by a person, a hand-embroidered dress, a painting by an artist. & so forth.

This also goes some way to explain why, given that there's a centre left party in power, and centre left parties take over 50%+ of the vote in polling, we *still* end up with centre-right talking points. First past the post is robbery and gross distortion of influence.
