There’s a €10 entrance fee, so I automatically assumed it was a scam, but theirs a press release about it from May on CBR so I’m going to assume it checks out. They pushed the closing date back till the end of January, so if I could figure out some stuff to...

“So apparently Atheists can’t be thankful for something without having someone/something to thank for it?”

To be honest though, I just want to get up to issue 47, which takes place in an era where Mary Jane thinks the answer to every problem in life to dance.

Local.
I got my Amazon birthday presents today. One of which is a hardcover volume of Local which may be the most beautiful thing I own. Honestly, there’s nothing about it I don’t love.
