other people have said this but elon musk might actually be the dumbest person alive for thinking it’s a good idea to limit views on a website that makes money through advertising

a bunch of ppl who run websites have pointed out that the first thing that platforms/hosts will do if u don’t pay your bills is to rate limit you, the limiting views thing is just elon’s PR copefest in my opinion

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

(eyeroll)

Is it just me, or is it astonishing that a guy so (on paper, anyway) fecking rich is such a cheapskate??

#idk why bit I REALLY LIKE this picture 

everything about it seems to convey a feeling of balance and coexistence i guess, it’s also very ornate and elegant in this particularly organic way

On the balance and coexistence front I think that’s def part of it now that you mention it; the melding of architecture and nature/gardening uvu uvu

Anyway…

I have to point out that “this painting” was not made specifically for Dinotopia. It was an illustration for an article about dinosaur families by Bob Bakker in the June 2003 issue of Discover magazine. It was reused more than a decade later in the third Dinotopia book.

I know. I bought that magazine when it came out and then I wrote a long and enthusiastic email to Bakker with lots of questions and got no answer.

astridnorddottir asked:

Have you ever thought of writing a "Learning Rihannsu/Romulan" book with a dictionary?

dduane:

…Well, not since the early 1980s. Because that’s how the Rihannsu books got started in the first place.

The Klingon Dictionary concept was then only in its earliest stages, and I found myself wondering why the Romulans shouldn’t have something similar. So I asked my editors at Pocket Books about it (this being just a little while after The Wounded Sky came out). They told me that there wasn’t much interest at the Paramount end in doing something like that; not least because (at that point) the Klingon Dictionary, they said, wasn’t selling all that well.

“But,” my editor said to me, “if you wanted to do a book about Romulans, or something about Romulan culture—because we know almost nothing about that—they say that sounds like something they wouldn’t mind seeing from you.”

“Oh really,” I said.

So I went off and thought about it for a week or three: then wrote the outline for My Enemy, My Ally, and asked my agent to send it to the editors.

“Sold,” said the editors and Paramount about two weeks later, pretty much in the same breath. And that’s where the five Rihannsu books got started.

So at this point, the idea of doing a Rihannsu language resource sounds, well, a little circular to me. Therefore I’ll happily leave that to somebody else… and if they want me to consult on it, they know where to find me.

Thanks for inquiring, though. :)
