The Dyad and the Prophecies
A good friend is always quick to remind me that there is a part of the Constitution that could be a smudge or a comma. Unfortunately, the meaning of this section does change depending on which one it is. It’s the perfect example of how just because things have been held as true for so […]

I said many times before The Rise of Skywalker that there are some things I didn’t want to happen, but I would get over it if they were done well.
