De Profundis #618 – March 2026
Intermission164 Cosmic Mind! That's needed when we somersault into fandom's probably all-time weirdest episode. And locally we had a similar twisted mind. Just aim for the stars with monumental visions -and find mental asylum! From this idiocy we go to gathering intelligence about Artificial Intelligence. And get carousing with mighty Thor and crayfish in a jar from 1920. In this International Culture Magazine you can expect the unexpected. Meanwhile, Agent Orange goes to war to distract from Epstein. In these insane times Intermission is needed to keep you out of Bedlam! Mind the gap, --Ahrvid "Editor" Engholm (AFAIK not in the Epstein files. Yet.) Comments and scoldings to ahrvid@hotmail.com - yeah, despite Microsoft's best efforts normal E-mail works again!
Fanzine roundup!
Here are the zines that arrived in the virtual mailbox. Enjoy! and share!

From Leybl in Israel: CCJanuary2026-v01
From Matt Mitchell at LASFS: Please feel free to distribute to your members. Thank you very much. De Profundis #617 – February 2026
From Nic Farey: “The Enlightenment view of mankind is a complete myth. It leads us into thinking we’re sane and rational creatures most of the time, and we’re not.”
From Jason Hunt, N3F, two zines. Greetings, programs! Please find attached the latest instalment of NAPA280_jan2026
As we work out the kinks in the schedule, the goal is to get everything on track for a regular schedule of dates on which each of our ‘zines will hit your in-box. I appreciate everyone’s patience!
As we draw near the end of the month, as I contemplate the ridiculously cold temperatures and snow on the ground and wonder if the deer in the back are OK, I am sending to you this last ‘zine of the month (I think?) — the National Fantasy Fan for January 2026, beginning Volume 85.
Letters of comment are welcome. And please continue to send me any updates on e-mail addresses. I’m trying to keep everything as current as possible. TNFF202601
From Ahrvid Engholm: Intermission163
Intermission in the Epstein files? It wouldn't surprise us, considering how morally corrupt it is! But in the Engholm files (latest example #163 enclosed) we find Jules Verne! (With his unknown, only English story!) And a whole bunch of writers in deplorable filthy-pro magazines such as Beyond Fantasy, Imagination, Startling Stories and others presenting your wettest, wildest dreams! Blue films - at least one - also covered, and AI translation. But we start with the latest goofs by Trump and Putin. Agent Orange's Greenland plans get cold shoulders from the Arctic and Putins's under-supplied alcoholic bumbs of an "army" is destroyed by drones. And why don't media report on Putin' collapsing economy? Finally, don't miss ■■■■ and ■■■■, especially ■■■■!!! Don't Put Hands In Running Mower, --Ahrvid Engholm, edit■■■■or (Comments welcome, but whatever you write, make CC: to ahvid@atomicmail.io, due to failing Microsoft...)
From the N3F: Tightbeam 377 is attached. There is an Alarming Event…we are back on schedule. On the topic of schedules, Mindy Hunt reports that the next issue of FanActivity Gazette will be delayed.

More Zines to share!
Zines to share!
From George Phillies, President, N3F: There was a slight issue in the most recent Eldritch Science. Part 2 of John Thiel’s story was included before Part 1 had appeared. You are therefore here receiving both parts in the correct order. ES202601Supplement
Also received from the N3F: Ionisphere_Issue 49_January 2026 and N3F Fan Gazette Jan2026
Fanzine to Share!
We have received the following fanzine to share. Enjoy!
From Ahrvid Engholm in Sweden: Let’s invade & Kidnap a little!
Mission completed!
Intermission too. It’s a complex, chaotic world, and here’s something
to make it chaotier! We found Hugo Gernsback’s excuses for not paying his authors, take you on a tour through Bobby Heinlein’s fantastic home and present the A-Bomb’s mother. We go through the Ukraine peace plan, a conflict almost as intricate as some fanfeuds. Then we turn to poetry, a concon and prepare to join the paperclip-makers… An idea: Instead of Greenland, why don’t go for Blueland or perhaps Yellowland instead?
You need Intermission for national security!
