UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD ***************** Investigation of: LOSS OF THE SUBMARINE TITAN IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN ON JUNE 18, 2023 * * * * * * Accident No.: *********** * * * * * * Interview of: Co-designer/Pilot Deepsea Challenger DCA23FM036 via Microsoft Teams Friday, July 26, 2024

INTERVIEW OF 10 BY LCDR 11 Q. So how did you get yourself started into submersible 12 operations? 13 A. Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic. When I 14 set down the path to make that film, the first thing that I did 15 was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible 16 program at the P.P. Shirshov Institute in Moscow, a guy named 17| Professor I. I did that through a mutual friend 18 of ours, a guy named , who is one of the preeminent underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a 20 submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the 21 Russians. And that was organized by a Canadian company that was 22 doing an IMAX film which was released under the title Titanica.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

“what shit in particular” any of it!!!

look, my black bile levels are already off the charts, I do not need this shit

there were more tonight on TBS at least, please join me in telling them you never want to see that shit again

based on this picture, I’m not convinced H.R. Giger understands how mousetraps works, or he’s operating on a whole different level of vermin-eradication that I am.

"average person kills 10,000 psykers a year" factoid actually just statistical error. average person kills 100 psykers a year. The God-Emperor of Mankind, who is kept alive by the mechanisms of the Golden Throne and kills over 1000 psykers each day, is the only one who should have been counted.

I need to get in more arguments with people so I can declaim “I am the only one with clarity of purpose!” like Saw Gerrera. It just doesn’t come up nearly as often as I’d like an excuse to say it.

this just reminded me that, for reasons I no longer remember, we’re friends on facebook? but we’re not actually acquainted except from 1000 years ago on tumblr, so I’m just going to imagine you’ve covered your house in skulls, Imperium-style.

ME, ADVISING THE KING & HIS WAR COUNCIL: My lord, the Duke of Pelagia is openly fermenting rebellion in the south. Something must be done. A message must be sent
WAR COUNCIL GROUP CHAT:
🤔 "fermenting rebellion"??
🫢 this mf said fermenting rebellion
😂 fermenting rebellion headass
🤣 fermenting lmao

My goals are simple: one, create the most lethal fighting force in the world and two, make them resent me specifically

I had a pretty nice day today. hung out with a friend, looked at some art, ate a really good bao bun.... sometimes things are okay!

Night of the Hunter is a goddamn masterpiece.

I had a very specific dream last night

CHOTINER: And when was that?
MY CAT: I mean at least 14 hours ago
CHOTINER: Well hold on. You're telling me you haven't been fed at all today but if I look in your bowl here I see a-
MY CAT: An untouched serving, I know, but if you'd let me finish-
CHOTINER: Yeah, of course.

they should invent a body that *isn't* constantly exhausted

snake, have you heard of baruch spinoza? they say he was able to use his reason to cancel his cancelers where it really mattered: in his own mind

No. This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it's still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You're still alive.

Painting my face, putting on a clown nose, taking out a very small brush, painting a Sister of Battle’s face, gluing a tiny clown nose greeble onto her, &c. &c.

I never thought I would get into 40k and now here I am, having opinions about space marines. Rogue Trader should come with a warning.

Everything is a distraction from everything else. The only right thing to be talking about is nothing, which is also a distraction

an angel!

I *just* remembered that my profile pic here is me, two years and four or five hair colors ago, holding my Tractor Supply warhammer. I just had to discover the other 39,999

I see no downsides except I guess the paperwork.

Yeah—cowboy times persisted slightly past the end of Dracula times, due to Quincey Morris stabbing Dracula with his big knife (and Jonathan helped also) but Dracula times were a lot longer on total, due to Dracula being an immortal vampire from a while back.
