Kurt Vonnegut: so
King: don't bring me down, kurt, i'm cooking here!
King: think about it!
King: elon's been stealing america's money
King: but maybe, through the awesome power of story telling, we could reach elon and get him to understand that stealing is wrong!
King: think about it! we could teach elon that stealing is bad!
Barker: so how old exactly is elon
King: yeah hardy har har very funny clive
King: but seriously maybe nobody ever told him
Poe: that is possible, he is south african after all
King: okay elon we're gonna tell some special stories for you tonight
King: but you have to be quiet
King: no disruptions
Musk: no disruptiano??
King: yes
King: can you do that for me
Musk: mama mia itsa gonna be hard!!
King: first, philip k dick is going to warn us about the perils of the cyberpunk surveillance state
King: then as a closer, the guy who wrote the novelization of that story's movie adaptation
King: piers anthony
Piers Anthony: guys check it OUT
Anthony: this chick has THREE boobs
Piers Anthony: guys!!! THREE boobs!
Anthony: that's so wild

Angela Carter: don't even bring me into this
Edward Lee: bro three boobs is a waste

Eric Raglin: submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i call this the tale of antifa splatterpunk
Musk: mama mia!!!!
Musk: this issa a crime
Raglin: now we all know that cops are great
Raglin: they're just awesome, we love them
Raglin: we would never suggest that they change
Raglin: but what some of these stories are asking
Raglin: is what if cops were bad?
Cynthia Gomez: what if a racist cop was haunted by a vision of his victim
Gordon B White: what if cops had a gas that made you go crazy
Patrick Barb: what if cops were actual pigs
Barb: what if
Barb: one day the cops were all "oh you wanna call us pigs?"
Barb: "well then we're gonna start wearing actual rotting pig carcasses"
Barb: "how you like that?"
Barb: "maybe you should have thought about OUR feelings"
Barb: "really, we feel bullied"
Raglin: ok so my story asks you to imagine
Raglin: what if the scandinavian black metal scene was infiltrated by nazi punks
Raglin: wild, i know, but stick with me
Raglin: see, this is what's so great about speculative fiction
Raglin: it can make the most outlandish premise seem plausible
Raglin: so i was at this bar and suddenly they have bands like Achtung Yankee Schweinhund! and The Fourteenword Follies performing
Raglin: and i'm… wait a minute, there's something bothering me about this place…
Raglin: I know!! this nazi bar has no fire exit!
