Why's this beach lover so happy?

Because she just caught the latest addition of Kelp Journal. Issue number 13, baby.

Chock full of the best riding humanly available.

This ain't Suckerbergs Meta verse. This ain't AI gorilla'a telling jokes.

This is real, hard copy writing. Old school. I know.

Do it. How's your chance to save humanity.
