The ‘series finale’ of Empire is here (as they say on TikTok).

Everything must go. The Empire is rotten to the core. So we can’t use it for parts.

We can, however, compost it. We can utilize the hoarded resources to seed new systems without paywalls.

And we the people can write the next episode. It’s already being written on the free(er) platforms.

I dare the Empire’s bravest to buy us the writing table.

We’ll be here waiting, billionaires. Because I guarantee no one is coming to your table anymore.
