just read a gorgeously written article about the mysteries surrounding the deaths of two american climbers, a queer teacher and a nasa engineer, on an argentine mountain in the 1970s. a camera discovered after five decades in a glacier with the film stock still able to be developed stirs up old questions: was it just an tragic accident, or was there foul play involved?

this link should work for everyone given how i shared it so you shouldn't have to worry about a paywall. it's got a mix of media including photos and short video interviews that were incredibly interesting to engage with. genuinely highly recommend this article to anyone interested in these kinds of stories—it was so immersive i truly felt like i was 20,000 feet up trudging through the snow, desperately trying to make sense of all that went wrong.

The Eagle Collection - One-Eyed Jack by John Cooper. From Eagle No. 83, dated 22 October 1983. You can tell this was a later drawing of Jack as in his original 1976 run John drew his hair much neater. Looks like he needs to get to a barbers here. Treasury of British Comics.

Skillet are such a case study in successfully alienating your mainstream audience that it's almost impressive. It's not even like Trapt where they only had one song anyone ever gave a shit about, they were legitimately popular for a while. But nah John Cooper had a crisis so now it's time to work that conservative outrage grift

Unnamed Road - Chapter III

Face claim: Melanie Laurent as Izzy. Morena Baccarin as Tess.

Tess is a property of @livvy-lov3

Coda to 2.06 "Maximum Deployment"

Officer John Cooper is about to discover feelings that he thought that were impossible to him feel.

Izzy and Tess were both in the borthel, seeing the girls working. 

    "You like it?" The blonde asked. 

    "Here? Yeah, I'm used to it. You should come work here." Tess answered, laughing. 

    "Me? Serious, Tess?" 

    "Yeah. Would you like to try? I am sure you will do well." 

    Izzy thought a little and said yes, affirming that she would return the next day. She bought some new lingeries and a gift for her new friend: a necklace from Tiffany & CO. 

    And the next day, there she was. Ready to start her work. Nervous, because she needed to lie to her parents, Izzy got into the borthel and greeted Tess. 

    "You ready?" The madam asked. 

    "Not sure, but I'll try. Thanks for the opportunity. Oh, I brought something for you. Let's go to the locker room." 

    They both went up the stairs and Izzy took the gift.

    "Remember girl, you deserve it" she said and opened up the box revealing the gem. 

    "Oh!" Tess was shocked. "My God!" 

    “How can I make it?” Izzy asked, while she was coming up on the stage. “You’ll learn with time” Tess replied. “Just spin around the pole and laugh for them. They love it because’ em are all assholes. Just get their money.” 

    They both laughed and Tess went to open the doors up. Izzy tested a spin, checking that it wouldn't make her dizzy. Tess would do the show that night, but Izzy and the other girls also would go on stage. 

    When Izzy was serving the customers, someone got a little slap across her ass. She immediately turned around, just to see Ben Sherman sitting in a chair. 

    “Ben?!” He startled back “Izzy?! Damn! What are you doing here?” 

    “Having fun” 

    “Fun? You are wearing just a panty and a bra!” 

    “Yeah, I'm working here for a few days.” Izzy answered and lowered her voice “don't tell this to anyone!” 

    “Take it easy. I came here to talk to Tess.” He said. “Oh, so you will like it. Tess is the queen of the night. She is the main attraction today.” 

    As Izzy told it, Ben got furious and he passed through the stage, going up the stairs. Tess tried to hold him, but she failed. “Fuck!” She cursed. 

    Izzy went to serve the man, looking for the stairs every ten minutes, but neither Ben nor Tess came down. Suddenly, she realized that someone was watching her. Izzy looked around, but didn't see anyone. 

    “Would you like a beer sir?” she asked a man sitting in the shadow in a corner. The guy came forward and the light illuminated his face. It was John, Ben's TO. 

    He looked at Izzy, from her head to her feet, looking surprised by her clothes. She smirked. 

    “Officer John! What a surprise! First Ben, now you. Beer?” She asked again. “Ben's here too? Where is he?” 

    “He went up the stairs. I guess he went to talk to Tess”. 

    “And you? What are you doing here?” 

    “I'm having some fun.” John got scared “Some fun?” Izzy laughed. “You and Ben are relatives? You both speak the same way. He was also scared by my answer. So, beer? I need to serve other guys.”

    As she said it, a man got another slap across her ass, and Izzy went to ask what he wanted. John was disgusted to see that and now he was no longer just worried about Tess. Breath coming in sharp, rapid jerks. Ben came down from the second floor and passed through the door without seeing him, but John couldn't leave, remembering when Izzy called him “hot fuzz”. 

    When he saw Izzy going to climb the stairs, he was after her. She was into the locker room, and he almost broke down the damned door. 

    “What-” Izzy yelped when the door was opened up. When she saw John standing there, she instinctively covered her breasts. “Now I've to ask: what are you doing here?” 

    Trying to hide how much the girl upset him, John got two steps to her. “You said you were having fun here. You know how long I'm trying to make Tess give up on this kind of life?” He was very furious. More than Ben when he heard of Tess being the main attraction of the night.

cooper and seekings, the young grammar school boy and the pugnacious boxer, loathed each other on sight […] 'we hated each other's guts,' recalled seekings. ‘i was the country yokel, he was the public schoolboy! the two men avoided one another as much as possible.

johnny cooper, chalk and cheese in class, education and temperament, had found a bond. In the adrenalin rush of danger, their former antagonism seemed to evaporate. as seekings put it: 'he'd got guts. 'i’d got guts. and we just clicked. we'd seen a bit of action and as dawn came up we got talking about that night, how exciting it was.' as they chatted, the middle- class, thoughtful youngster and the bellicose working-class fist-fighter discovered that they had more in common than had ever separated them.

stirling noticed the way the two men had suddenly connected: 'cooper was quick witted and high spirited. seekings was slow and steady and shrewd. they were perfect complements to each other.' henceforth, cooper and seekings would be inseparable, on the battlefield and off, forging an enduring, fighting partnership that would last for as long as they lived.

Well, the Mayor of Nashiville has coined a new phrase and it's a good one, so I'm going to be using it. "The Cult of the Gun".

It really is a cult, isn't it? They talk about how guns are important for self-defense, but press them for any data that backs up that analysis and you'll quickly find they don't have any. In fact, those who oppose gun control have made a concerted effort to prevent any kind of research or data from making its way into the debate.

What data we do have shows pretty clearly that more guns correlate powerfully with higher rates of violent crime and that, far from being a useful self-defense tool, a gun in the household is about 3 times more likely to kill or injure a member of the household than be used in its defense.

The fact is, though, that the Cult of the Gun, as cults are, is not susceptible to rational debate. There exists no evidence that can sway them and their tenets will long outlive any reason to cling to them.

And, just to be clear, there are responsible gun owners out there that aren't part of this cult, over 4 in 5 of them support Universal Background Checks, for example, and a solid majority of them favor strong gun storage laws. The Cult of the Gun, however, has blocked even the most basic of common sense reforms for several decades now because the responsible gun owners refuse to step in and separate themselves from it.

This week, the Cult of the Gun made 6 more sacrifices on the altar of their dark god.

Numa Patlagean

Clay bust of Oscar Wilde, 1914. Numa Patlagean (1888—1961). Oscar Wilde’s modeling career has been under discussion recently. I refer, of course, to the art of sculpture, a subject that held a fascination for Oscar: he referenced it in his essays on art, and in his reviews of art galleries; he bought sculptures, commission sculptures, and even had his hair styled after a bust of Nero in the…

Unnamed Road - Chapter II

Face claim: Melanie Laurent (Shoshana from Inglorious Bastards) as Izzy, and Morena Baccarin as Tess.

Tess is a property of @livvy-lov3 ❤️

I'm finally back! After endless weeks of sicknesses because of the pregnancy, I finally got return with my fics!

*

Izzy was more than happy because Ben showed up to the dinner. As soon as he got there, the blond girl called him.

“Hey! How about your TO? I need to see him again.”

“Izzy, it’s serious. John is divorced. And how did you find out that he is my TO?”

She winked and approached Ben.

“He is older than you!” After a pause, Ben said “I’m begging: give up, Isabella.”

This phrase seemed to surprise Izzy.

“The last time you called me by my name I was drunk at a party. We were in high school.”

“Yeah, and you had crossed the line.”

“Oh, c’mon, Ben. It’s just a lay, not a wedding.”

“He doesn’t want to lay with you.”

“How do you know?”

*

After saying it, Izzy went to talk to her grandma, and Ben knew: She had a mission. No one could stop Isabella Lambert when she decided to do something.

*

Two weeks later, Ben invited Izzy to go to a bar with him. Waiting to see John and thinking that was it, she went there.

“Ben!”

“Izzy, i’d like to introduce you to a friend.”

Izzy’s heart was pounding in her throat, but she got sad when she saw another girl.

“This is Tess”

She was a brunette, tall and skinny.

“Hello! I’m Tess!”

“Oh, I’m Isabella. Izzy, for short.”

They went to a bar and kept talking. Izzy liked to be introduced to Tess, and quickly, they became friends.

“So, Tess, how do you make money?” Izzy asked.

“I work in a brothel.” The brunette replied and Ben got ashamed.

“Serious? Are you really serious?” Izzy jumped up “I always wanted to meet a prostitute! How’s your life? I’m curious!”

Seeing that Izzy had not any prejudice, Tess started to tell more about her job, but Ben got up and said they should go home because his shift would start soon.

“I’m going to work. See you later.” He said to the girls, kissing Tess and waving to Izzy.

“He doesn’t like your job. Right?”

“He hates it, actually.”

“Let’s have another drink, Tess. Forget about him.”

“One more drink? You are drunk! Let’s go home!”

“We need to forget about the bad mood that Ben caused.” And she blinked “Look at this: Ten Rings! It sounds good!”

“Wait, Izzy!”

Tess tried to call her, but the girl entered the bar. Once inside, Izzy got a surprise: Ben’s TO was sitting down near the counter. Tess arrived too and went there.

“What a day!” Izzy said and took a seat beside him “Officer John. You remember me?”

“Oh, hello ma’am.”

“You remember me. Don’t you? She is Tess. She is the daughter of your…”

When John realized who had arrived along with Izzy, he got scared.

“John!”

“ Tess! Your dad needed to talk to you!”

“It’s my turn! When I first met Dewey, me and Ben already knew each other. Now, you guys already know each other!” Izzy said.

John looked at her and realized that it would be a mess.

“You know my dad?” Tess asked.

“ Yeah.” and she turned to John “She doesn’t know?”

"Lady, please"

"How did you meet my dad?" Tess

"He was in my apartment, that one in Hollywood. He was handcuffed in the wall, into my parents' room"

"WHAT?"

"Oh, sorry, officer John. I have to tell a story. What's your number?"

"Hey, Izzy, you are going to tell me all now, right now!"

And Tess got up and started pulling Izzy out of the bar.

"C'mon, Isabella. See you, John!"

"Wait. I want his number! Hey, officer, I don't know if some girl told you, but you are a hot fuzz!"

"Izzy, for Christ sake!"

John was tomato red and unable to say anything, while the girls were leaving the bar.
