(Link above screencap of stuff.co.nz headline “Kiwi pukupuku/little spotted kiwi rediscovered on mainland Aotearoa after 50 years.”)

(And yes, one of our main, reputable national news sites is just called “Stuff.”)

This is much more exciting for Kiwi bird-enjoyers than Sir Peter trying to resurrect the moa. Good on you, kiwi pukupuku, for proving you’re experts in How Not To Be Seen, but it is very nice to see you.

Why didn't anyone tell me that Andy Weir wrote a new chapter for The Martian???

From Andy Weir's Facebook page (11 Feb. 2024):

It was ten years ago today that The Martian hit shelves. I owe everything that happened since then to you, my readers. I can't thank you enough. So, for the hell of it, I wrote some additional content for The Martian.

For your reading pleasure: The Martian: Lost Sols.

alright so I'm flimsily constructing a novel around the premise of dating a spider man. not the Marvel kind, but a man who is literally half spider.

so we start off, and it's invasion of the bodysnatchers. a race of aliens that are definitely not yeerks are taking over the Canadian parliament. then, what's this? truck-kun?

the alien wakes up. it's been isekaiid into a fantasy world, and is now in the body of a frail albino prince. and it's up to him (and a troop of plucky heros) to defeat the demon lord!

but along the way, after slaughtering a mass of the demon lord's forces, they take a spider man captive, forcing him to serve as their guide. sparks fly. roses blossom. some weird gay alien/ spider man action commences.

I don't know what happens after that, maybe just 200 pages of biologically accurate spider sex.

"Through a speculative view of a post-human world, McCormack imbues her work with a sense of foreboding that contrasts the medium of crochet and its comforting, nostalgic associations."

well yeah i have a pet hydra and it only has one head. i'm not going to cut its head off just to make it look cooler, you asshole. that's seriously unethical. and i'm not letting you cut its head off either. if you really want a hydra with multiple heads, you should go for a rescue- but if you want your pet to look cooler at the cost of its physical health, maybe you shouldn't get any kind of pet at all. no, the hydra's not for guarding my evil tower, it's my pet. have you ever heard of a pet? like a puppy or a kitty? you think i can't defend my evil tower by my self?
