Credits
- Cover art: “Live from Novacon” by Steven Cain and Alison Scott
  - Alt text: Emily Tesh, John, and Alison stand in front of a suspiciously purple background which may indicate that the real background has been subtracted by nefarious photo editing. The words “Octothorpe 148 Live from Novacon” are overlaid.

The alt text suggests the purple background has been artificially inserted. In fact, the background is real, but John, Alison and Emily were AI-generated.
