Paris 2024: Bouncing and Spinning
Spin, or the lack thereof, plays a major role in many sports -- including tennis, golf, football, baseball, volleyball, and table tennis -- because it affects whether flow stays attached around a ball, as well as how much lift or side force a ball gets. A ball's spin doesn't stay constant, however. (Image credit: J. Calabrese; research credit: T. Allen et al.)

sat through the entire hour. there's one audio glitch at 53:13 that honestly sounds like a genuine fuck up, and then the background music gets more intense around 1:00:45 as it's gearing up to end. you're welcome for this sacrifice. god is dead and mr. bonzo killed him.

magnus podcasts are just “what if we put together a bunch of people who really need human connection and are fundamentally really similar and deeply care about each other then make it so none of them ever communicate”

When you think about it, it was pretty on brand for Elias to start the apocalypse by giving Jon Evil Paperwork.

Do you think you can get drunk or high by kissing the distortion. Additional question do you think Gerry didn’t know that the first time and just went to work and Gertrude asked him if he was under the influence and he annoyed her so much she decided death was too kind of a fate for him and he deserved to be trapped in that fuckass book

Honey I'm Home - TMA PMV
[ID: Animated clips from the linked Magnus Archives animation.
Jon prays with a strained expression while root-like tendrils reach for him. A flatlining heart monitor starts to beat as a crown lowers over his head.
Elias reaches out a hand with a smirk while inside a jail cell.
Multiple frames are shown over a spiderweb background: They show season one Jon signing his contract with a grinning Elias.
Multiple frames are shown over a collage of various cut out statements in the background. They show season four Jon noticing Jess Terrell and speaking to her, eyes turning green as he smiles unnervingly. End ID]
Thank you @/princess-of-purple-prose for the description!!

Paris 2024: Tennis Racket Physics
Like many sports that feature balls, spin plays a big role in tennis. By imparting a topspin or backspin to a tennis ball, players can alter the ball's trajectory after bounce and, using the Magnus effect to alter lift around the ball, change how it travels through the air.

[ID: A digital drawing of Lynne Hammond and Celia from The Magnus Archives drawn from the shoulders up. Both are slim Korean women with light skin. Lynne has long black hair in a high ponytail with a middle part, and she is wearing a white turtleneck, gold hoop earrings, industrial piercings, and a necklace, and winged eyeliner. Celia has a fully shaved head and patchy eyebrows, dark circles under her eyes, and she is wearing a purple scarf and dull green coat, and no jewelry. Lynne is looking at the viewer blankly, and Celia is smiling very anxiously up and to the side. Lynne is labelled as "Lynne Hammond" and Celia is labelled with "Celia" in quotes. The background is a grainy blur of green and purple and there is a faint overlay of pencil sketch lines over the whole image. end ID]
~~~~
finally decided to draw my versions of Lynne and "Celia" pre-protocol era. i already had a mental image of Lynne so i Refused to change it cuz i think it'd be fun if she was Very Different after her factory reset aksjhakdhj. i call her "is comp-femme a thing" and then ofc "celia" is. looking rough <3 and then she had her butch awakening in the protocol verse and that's my regular celia design YAY <3

I blame The Magnus Archives for why I want to be the next BBC Sound Effects Archivist.
Like imagine having to fight the avatar of the ‘slipping on banana peels’ sound effect
