i'm out of the loop on project hail mary but awfully curious about andy weir and ip laws in regards to the post about the author's barely disguised pet peeve??
there's a scene in the book where a character is getting pointlessly sued for a bunch of media piracy (which she 100% openly did) that exists almost solely to make IP suits look frivolous while the character in question looks really cool and turns to the audience to say "piracy is fine." and once or twice I've seen people make social media posts to the tune of "aw man, sucks that the audiobook for phm and/or the martian is audible exclusive and not available via my library" where weir has shown up to say "just pirate it." I do have to hand it to him on this one I'm afraid.
i have big plans to try and sew a little felt mouse and it might go badly and that’s okay
he exists bc i made him
Unless you speak whatever the language in this is (maybe Russian? It sounds at least related to Russian), you won’t understand exactly what they’re saying
You will however, understand exactly what they’re saying from the context of the video
And you will get to hear this person’s wonderful laughter
Sound definitely needs to be on
Sounds like German to me, but this is hilariously bad planning.
It’s definitly not german, but god i need to know who planned this bathroom
it is 100% Russian, and i am wheezing in the same language now
going to attempt a rough translation because this is so funny to me
it’s not going to be very literal because trying to translate every mumbled phrase and conversational word will be Very Annoying
“So here’s your–here’s our hotel room. The door to the bathroom is clear, so you enter the bathroom, and everything’s normal, you look at yourself, and everyone who’s in the hallway can see you. And over here’s the shower, it’s relatively private. You enter the shower, and like wash yourself– *breaks down laughing* Well okay okay, you decide to wash your hands, or sit down on the toilet and– *another fit of laughter* Fine, fine, it’s actually all okay because you grab this and you…uh, and you’re like ‘I want some privacy’”, and you close–you close the curtain, and then you close this curtain– *laughs* And you close that curtain too, and now you want to sit on the toilet and you’re like ‘Okay everything’s closed, you can’t see in", and so you sit down on the toilet– *intense laughter*“
Huh, apparently glass bathroom doors are an increasingly common problem in hotel rooms? To the point that someone made a website about it and is working on a database of hotels that have actual bathroom doors??

your dark fantasy novel doesn't need a logic-based magic system it needs a bear with a human face
the human-faced bear principle of storytelling: the amount of people who will remember the exposition about the rules of magic or the history of elf culture inherently pales in comparison to the amount of people who will remember the scene where someone gets mauled by a bear with a human face
this isn't a call to necessarily include a literal bear with a human face (though you should at least consider it. obviously.) but pointing out that, while a lot of sf/f writing advice places heavy emphasis on fleshing out the small details of a fictional world as much as possible (which can be fine and valuable for many stories), there's often little attention given to the value of including effective "bear attack scenes", for lack of a better term; tense, scary, shocking, weird, or otherwise visceral scenes or concepts (the pale man, the chestburster, the sunken place, the raptors in the kitchen, artax in the swamp, the annihilation bear, the parasite basement, the blood test in the thing, etc) despite those having a significantly higher hit rate of making a story striking and memorable and recommendable to people
being as i am an idiot, and having been one my whole life, i just wanna say that i find it very easy to do nothing, and go nowhere. i eat chocolate late at night in the dark. i stand in the garden also. and i’m often waiting for something to happen. and i’m stupid.
this girl was showing all the signs of being a secret mermaid so i pushed her into the pool and she turned into a forty foot long mosasaurus which is tbh way cooler
not really sure how to get her out though
for those of you asking why i pushed her into the pool in the first place: i work for a duplicitous small town aquarium and i'm trying to kidnap mermaids to jump through hoops and shit to entertain tourists and make money. fucking obviously. now that i know she's actually a mosasaurus though i Have fallen in pure-hearted love with her
Ryland Grace and his popularity as a character feels like such an important step in repairing the cultural tsunami left by the long running trope of every genius character needing to be an insufferable asshole to everyone in a ten mile radios about it.
Conversely, Eva Stratt is doing wonders for repairing and inspiring a appreciation for commanding women with dubious moral convictions who are fully willing to bend laws for the greater good without hesitation.
And together they are doing brilliant things by not kissing or hooking up even once.

If you're reading this you have been DRAFTED into the frog war. The frogs cannot agree on who gets to nap on the good lily pad that floats tranquilly in a sunbeam, so we're all going to get real big and mad and croak real loud at each other until someone wins.
Original
[ID, partially borrowed from @accessibility-babey: The video is a Tiktok by @_weloveyou_ of two men, one with sandy colored curly hair and one with a blue cap on. The video opens with the caption, "What are you looking at?".
The men are standing on a dirt road on the side of a mountain. They greet each other, both saying "Hey, man!". The guy with the cap says "Look at that!" and turns towards the view, raising a hand to shield his eyes from the sun, while the curly haired guy turns towards the side of the mountain. Closed captions over the video written in yellow reads, "*looks opposite directions".
First, the view is shown– of trees and the air and distant mountains under the setting sun. Caption reads "Big view". The guy in the cap's face is shown, mouth open in astonishment. Then, the camera pans to the mountain side– the moss and fungus growing on the rock. Caption reads "Little view". The curly haired guy's face is shown, mouth open in a grin of amazement.
The camera turns back to the cap guy, his words captioned on the video as he says, "Wow, it's so beautiful." At the same time, the curly haired guy also says, "It's so beautiful." while the camera turns to him. The view is shown as the guy in the cap says "You can see the entire ecosystem here." "Every little thing," his companion adds as the camera pans to the fungi on the mountain, "it's all working together." A banana slug on the ground is briefly shown before the camera turns back to showing the forests on the distant mountains in more detail, with some trees in the foreground.
"The flora and fauna," says the curly haired guy. "The water cycle," the guy in the cap adds on. "Look at all the textures, the details!" the curly haired guy says, camera showing us an up-close view of the gritty rock of the mountain and the moss on it. Then the camera shows us a clearer view of the trees and the various ways their branches and leaves intersect with each other.
"It kind of makes you feel..." the guys chorus, finally turning back to each other. "Giant," says the curly haired guy, while the other guy says, "Small," at the same time. They both look puzzled for a brief moment, before turning to the sides they haven't looked towards yet. They notice the things each other were looking at and turn back, saying an "Ohhh!" of understanding, nodding and smiling.
The camera turns away from them to show us, in order, tree leaves on a branch swaying in the wind, a great old tree with a thick trunk fit for climbing situated on the dirt, a close view of a slug slowly moving, a lot of fungi growing on a tree and a distant view of lots of pine trees on the distant mountains swaying in the wind. The captions on the camera say, "Things are both big and small," one word at every perspective shift. Remarkably, the word "big" coincides with the view of the slug while the word "small" is seen on the view of the pine trees.
The camera shows the sun shining directly at the camera, with a tree blocking its way. Captions say "Everything is. We Love You."
Throughout the video, steady and calm music subtly plays in the background. The TikTok logo is shown, and the video ends.
The first image is a drawing of a cat bracing itself against a wall with teary, shiny eyes. It says: "wait. hold on a minute I think i need a moment wait. wait, wait. hold on i need a moment. i need to sit down i think wait. wait. old honh on, wait, please i am breaking down. hold on, wai."
The second image is an edited version of the two guys on a bus meme, in which the guy on the left is facing the craggy gray rock of a mountain and looking miserable while the guy on the right looks at the sun rise over picturesque mountains, smiling happily. It's been edited so that both guys are smiling happy, observing their respective sides and both saying, "It's so beautiful." /end ID]
Spin the wheel. That's who's trying to kill you.
Spin the wheel again. That’s who’s trying to protect you.
(If you have zero idea about a name you got, spin until you see someone you recognize.)
Are you safe?
Absolutely not. I'm dead. 100% dead.
I might stay alive, but it'll be a really close thing.
I'll take some hits, for certain, but I should be okay in the end.
A few attacks might get through, but nothing concerning.
The attacker might be able to get in one lucky hit. If that.
I am the opposite of worried. I'm 100% safe.
…Look. I've tried picturing this. But I honestly don't know how to answer.
(I've run this poll twice before, expanding it significantly for the second run. With about a year passed since that second run, I thought it was time to add another couple hundred names to the list and have another go.)
we do need to revisit the wording of "you can't have your cake and eat it too" because i don't think it clearly enough conveys that it's more that you can't simultaneously retain a cake and also get to consume it (which would render you cakeless). for years i was like But why not....it's my cake....?
this fucking problem is how they caught the unabomber
hey you should uh. elaborate. for my own personal satisfaction
the unabomber was pedantic about idiomatic phrases like "have your cake and eat it too" and rephrased it to "eat your cake and have it too" (which to be very fair makes sense). fast forward to when he starts writing manifestos. he uses the phrase word for word in his pedantic style and his brother (who has been keeping his eyes on the unabomber shit for obvious reasons) notices the phrase and is like "oh fuck that's my fucking brother no one else fucking says that" and calls in an FBI tip
Well you can't deliberately speak in a way nobody else does and also stay anonymous you know. Can't eat your cake and have it too.

black bears ʕ-ᴥ-ʔ
I'm obsessed with this little moment where Stratt is like reaching out to say Hi to Grace but instead of patting his shoulder or something she pats his tiny little chair. and filmed from behind a barrier
Additions:
- She is carrying her two giant coffees here and BALANCES THEM BOTH IN ONE HAND to touch his chair
- He’s like “what the heck is happening” and then he turns around and sees it’s her and does this fond little smile
