i got these knockoff boots online and instead of the brand name on the tag they have the name of an apparently nonexistent martin scorsese movie??? what the fuck
this post led to a series of events that had martin scorsese himself reacting to his alleged movie goncharov and it has less than 400k notes almost 3 years later?

any time i copy paste a message to send to 2 different chats i feel like such a fake ass bitch but im choosing to look at it as the digital equivalent of standing in a doorway hollering so people in both rooms can hear me
I really can't recommend the Hyperfixed podcast enough. Listeners send in mysteries/questions/requests that have, in many cases, been eating away at them for years. The host asks the listener what they want to get out of this, what would make them feel satisfied, etc. And then the host and producers go out and try to solve it.
The answers are usually pretty satisfying, but the journey is what really makes the podcast. I've found myself recounting episodes to friends and family with the same fervor I'd relay juicy gossip. An example from a recent episode:
A listener noticed that a hedge maze from her hometown (the big green monster!!) appears to be copied from a hedge maze in England. She's been talking about this with people in her life and has been getting an extremely lukewarm response. No one understands how this question has gripped her. She wants confirmation and for the maze to acknowledge its design is a copy. (Not in a bad way, she just really wants the confirmation of the thing she suspects to be out there for other people to see.)
The Hyperfixed team is worried about hedge maze copyright law so they contact some legal professionals in England. The professionals are unsure whether a hedge maze design can be copyrighted but some mention that UK law protects people from having work that they did not do attributed to them.
The listener thought the hedge maze in England was designed by Adrian Fisher (sometimes called the master of mazes!!) so the podcast contacted him to check whether he'd be ok with the big green monster being attributed to him. However, Adrian Fisher lives by his maze philosophy--he believes in exploration, curiosity, family fun, etc, and did not want to know what the conversation would be about ahead of time. As the host talked more with him Adrian repeatedly emphasized that each maze should be unique, taking into account the specific context that the maze would exist in. He does not believe in copying mazes, he feels copying is the antithesis to what a maze should be.
With much trepidation in his heart, the host finally showed Adrian a picture of the big green monster....and Adrian immediately identified it as the English maze the listener thought it was copied from and said it was the work of a different designer, Greg Stirling (sometimes called the maze king)
To learn more about Greg, the host talked to a man who wrote a book (THE book?) about mazes. The author revealed that Greg's maze philosophy is the opposite of Adrian's--he fantasized about a DEATH MAZE where the door would lock behind you and you'd be stuck there. He believed that mazes should be like life; you struggle through them and are presented with difficult choices, but you (hopefully) ultimately prevail.
(Side note: after the English maze opened to the public the owner started getting complaints because the maze was anxiety-inducing and took much longer to complete than anticipated. By this time Greg had disappeared from public life because he found the attention too overwhelming, so Adrian was brought in to make the maze more friendly.)
They ask the author (who had briefly met Greg) whether he thought Greg would dislike being credited for the design of the big green monster. The author thought Greg would be ok with it.
Finally the host talks to the owner of the big green monster. It's located in an orchard run by a father-daughter team. The father had discovered a love for building mazes and had been taking on more and more challenging designs, until he saw a drawing of the English maze in a book written by Adrian Fisher. He took it to a copy shop, had them enlarge it so he could see the detail, and laboriously plotted it out. He was perfectly happy to add a plaque crediting Greg Stirling for the design. The end!
Just a delight all the way through, I love a good low-takes mystery with a satisfying conclusion.

It's so important to acknowledge the very real and sometimes truly horrible failings of the healthcare profession and the pharmaceutical industry while never ever ever letting them drive us into the arms of pseudoscientific bullshit. This is something I feel really strongly about.
You gotta be really publicly passionate about things if you want your friends to text you. Bc people will forget to text you because they’re human. But if you’re really openly the friend who loves identifying ants your friends will think of you when they see ants. And they’ll text you “what ant is this [blurry photo]”. And then they’ll ask you how you’ve been and we should get coffee sometime. But if they don’t know what you love they’ll never know what you like
And then when the ant convention is in town they’ll be like dude… we should go to the ant convention. But they would never think to go if they didn’t know u loved ants

I'm just saying, if you're going to worldbuild magic being a "raw, primal force, akin to and interweaving with nature itself" you gotta explain to me why animals don't use it
I know the normal answer is "they just aren't smart enough for it" but idk I've seen enough media where a character uses a spell in a moment of brain-off panic ilI feel like animals could probably stumble into a spell or two like, accidentally
group of wizards who ask this in-universe, and after extensive study learn to their surprise that animals are casting spells all the time, just that their magic is so fundamental as to be unrecognizable to humans. turns out the only reason acorns grow on trees is because squirrels keep wishing for them.
