fantasy map illustration depicting a landscape full of ragged mountains up and down, crossed by crooked roads, some on giant stone structures. There is a valley with hills and woods to the south, a desert with wretched lands just east of it, wetlands to the west and east with flooded cities and temples, snowy plains to the northeast with a giant skeleton and tree and an impossibly tall mountain in the northwest whose peak is obscured by dark clouds.

a fantasy map illustration depicting a continent with a bigger mainland and a large island to the west of it. the biomes go from snowy mountains, a vast wetland, grasslands with many hills. the prevalent features here is that it is crossed by many rivers in all directions and it is surrounded by a the shades of a vast submarine landscape that where part of this land before a big flood catastrophe.

colourful drawing of an island crossed by a mountain range, rivers and forests scattered around.

a planar map in the shape of a compass rose. The direction arrows are the four classical elemental planes with the material plane in the centre and several layers of other planes of existence around it.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
