To their credit they were drunkenly like hey don't throw your life away blowing up an oil pipeline cus they basically do that on their own you should just shoot a supreme court justice or something.

Long pause and a couple whiskey sours later

"... so most faults are reported months in advance of an accident and everything else is just covering their ass. Whole industry has like ten years left and everyone knows it and Oh Shit I love this song!"

Met a petroleum safety specialist at a wedding a while ago and am like "so what's the most vulnerable part of an oil pipeline?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Just professional interest."

"Oh! You also work for [redacted]?"

"No, I'm an anarchist."

Cover by Russ Heath.

Spellbound #3 (1952). On the cover, a man and a woman in an underground cave are confronted by a large snake with a beastly but humanoid looking head, that looks very much like something from a Tim Burton film.

Never have I seen such a gross misunderstanding of what makes something special…

Using an AI slop trailer to usher in a “new era” for a conference that’s famous for people sharing their labors of love is like just…I can’t even think of something witty to compare it to—it’s just shit from an ass.
