OK wizards if you must enchant something with powerful magicks to ensure peace in the kingdom how about choosing a gigantic 10000 ton ugly rock under the castle or, actually, almost anything other than a small, portable, insanely valuable, gorgeous jewel? Don’t make me say eh, so dumb.

Fellow GenXers: remember how often we were bombarded with images of late-period USSR? Old, decrepit men in charge, clinging to an ossified ideology. Political repression, nakedly false propaganda, empty shelves, food shortages, inadequate health care, deep-seated cynicism, crumbling infrastructure

An image of a map of the USA with the southeast shaded in red like a contour map. The red bands turn first pale yellow and then blue as they diagonally move up towards the pnw. Text at the top reads: you talk most like someone from North Carolina: about 41% of your answers match a typical resident. There are 2 lists at the bottom: cities most and least similar. Most similar are Charlotte, Atlanta (this is a calumnious libel) and Washington DC (ok, fair, I lived in Baltimore for years.) Least similar are Seattle, Portland (ouch) and Salt Lake City.

What Dolly taught us is that it is in fact possible to be wealthy beyond your wildest dreams of avarice but still be a fundamentally good person with a strong moral compass, and the only reason more rich people aren't like that is because they don't want to be.

And i'm not even including the cost of the peaches and ginger and sugar and pectin. Blackberries, fortunately, are free. People don't charge enough for jam. Yay jam!

There are only three possible futures: a) everyone in the Trump admin goes to jail, rule of law partially restored; b) Dems retaliate in full, and maybe that's a deterrent; c) neither (a) nor (b), so lawless authoritarianism wins again, and when Republicans regain power they ramp it up even more.
