We didn't report on this earlier because we were waiting for the full picture, and it looks like the story developed exactly as we suspected.
Project Hail Mary author Andy Weir sat down with The Critical Drinker podcast and didn’t hold back on modern Star Trek. He praised Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks but called most of the recent Kurtzman-era shows "sh*t", celebrated the Starfleet Academy cancellation, and casually dropped that Paramount had rejected his own Trek pitch ("So, you know, f**k 'em").
The internet (and fellow writer Don Winslow) lit up. Winslow fired back publicly: "Congrats on the success of Project Hail Mary and The Martian… but when you have your moment, don’t use it to crap on other writers’ work. You owe Alex Kurtzman an apology".
Weir responded today with a classy open letter on Facebook. He admitted the soundbites came off "disrespectful and mean", said he was trying (and failing) to be funny and self-deprecating, and stressed that he actually likes Kurtzman as a person. He even reiterated his love for the two shows he genuinely enjoyed.
Sci-fi writers criticizing each other isn’t new, but seeing one of the biggest names in the genre admit his mistake so quickly? That’s so cool.

Even though Mara Chantal is mistaken, I applaud her for attempting to fact check. Too many ppl take fake news and run with it on this app. Everyone should at least try to fact check. Let's give her some grace and not expect her to be totally on top of the NBA transaction wire.
After saying all that, F the Chicago Bulls. I hope this young man finds another gig to show his light and speak of the Gospel of Jesus.

BREAKING: The Chicago Bulls are waiving Jaden Ivey after he spoke out against the NBA for promoting 'Pride Month' and unrighteousness, according to ESPN.
Ivey recently announced that he was alive in Christ.
"They proclaim Pride Month in the NBA. They show it to the world. They say, 'Come join us for Pride Month to celebrate unrighteousness.'"
"They proclaim it on the billboards, they proclaim it in the streets, unrighteousness."
He said nothing wrong.

@fandompulse And there goes my support for Project Hail Mary. Ridiculous apology.
English

Project Hail Mary writer Andy Weir's full apology to Alex Kurtzman reads:
"Open letter to Alex Kurtzman:"
"Hey, Alex. Andy Weir here. I'm posting to apologize about stuff I said on the Critical Drinker's podcast."
"I feel like my quotes were taken out of context as salacious sound bytes. I hope you saw the other parts where I said how much I like you as a person and what a nice guy you are. Also how I like SNW and LD."
"I was trying to be funny, but in retrospect it comes off as disrespectful and mean. So I'm sorry for that. I was also trying to be self-deprecating when I said 'But they didn't like my pitch so fuck 'em!' but out of context it can read like I actually meant it."
"I'm a blunt person - always have been. And it's been 10 years since the media cared what I had to say about anything so I kind of forgot to watch my words when I have a film in theaters. In a couple months I'll be back in my cave writing novels and no one will care again."
"Anyway, if you want to talk about it in real time - even if it's just to rip me a new one - I'm happy to hop on the phone or zoom."
He didn't take back what he said about new Star Trek, though, did he?

@TeslaTravelstx @TeslaPatriot So you were ok with the distance FSD had as its settings, but didn't do anything about it, and are now complaining about it? Make it make sense
English

@TeslaPatriot No. Had there been someone behind us? We would’ve been in a wreck. FSD was following too close.
English

FSD scared the crap out of me and my wife.
We were headed out of town and my wife was taking zoom calls in the backseat and I was relaxing letting FSD do all of the work. We were following behind a cement truck and as we went through the intersection, the cement truck ran the light at the last minute, as soon as FSD was able to see the light it turned red and FSD slammed on the brakes. My wife’s laptop went sliding across the car, but we got stopped, and then FSD backed us up behind the line.

@litteralyme0 Yeah but my hope and happiness is based on moving to a foreign planet with a custom made bio dome to my exact liking and living in a crime free world.

@Emilio2763 Jay stole Bert’s Tracy Morgan story. Joe found out while Bert was on an episode and it blew up and Joe was saying that Bert should own the story, tell Jay to knock it off, and that joke/story stealing is never ok. Jay was kind of a pariah because he wouldn’t own up to it

@Jimmyking35 @thestevenwoods Kind of disagree. Most people aren’t aware of that song. I think to connect with fans, it should be a more well known.

@joeroganhq One of those moves that will get your neck snapped in half in the real world when the guy decides to jump in the air and just sit down.
English

@joeroganhq So basically, the one who wins only wins because the one who loses is a good person and didn’t want to break his opponent’s neck on the floor?
Or is it just not allowed?

@RyronGracie Just tell them they look bloated and are acting like their mother. They will crumble

@financedystop "Currently NOT on the market?!?" WTF do you call that realty for sale sign on the front yard, you POS say anything salesman! LOL 😂

English

@JiujitsuOtter Yes but there are variables at play. 1) never concede a position. Be it guard being passed or being thrown. You don’t let them secure, you recover/get up. 2) know your limitations. If you suck at stand up, stay down. Practice stand up at the gym not at comp

@RonaIdGrump @DollarDecay @0xNairolf Or 250k worth of BTC lol. Just liquidate 100k worth and use that?
