I don’t think any translators are surprised by this, and not because of the covers thing (plenty of publishers don’t do it but still treat and pay translators well). Europa are notorious for not allowing translators to copyright (AFAIK they are the only anglophone publisher to do this)

Actors can behave as if they are King Lear, but (astonishingly!! I know!!) they are not, it is called “direction and script”, more shocking revelations to follow

Frog and Toad sat close by the fire. They were scared. The teacups shook in their hands. They were having the shivers. It was a good, warm feeling.
Frog and Toad sit before a roaring fire, teacups in hand, shivering with fear.

Very disappointed to hear this about Europa. Human translators are a vital part of making a book accessible to a foreign audience. Bad enough not to credit them on the book cover, but to replace them with a clunky ai version is just an insult to the profession and the reader

Roast pork for dinner so the kitchen is now lightly hazed with the “roast super hot for 20mins to kickstart the crackling” phase. Hoping now it’s in the “then, roast super low for a whole afternoon” phase, I’ve avoided setting the smoke alarm off. Not opening the oven though 💨💨💨💨💨

Just started watching Below and as far as I can see the Newfoundland accent has a lot of Irish in it (in the same way that there’s a lot of Scandi in the accents of remote Scottish communities). Which is FASCINATING to me in terms of linguistic drift

Not sure what’s up with the annoying half-hour episode length on AHS:13, is this a “this season could have been a movie” situation, or did they not have enough material to do 13 full hour-longs? Either way not great (despite usual stellar cast)

Sidebar: romance novels please stop thinking bookshops are cosy and hushed and adorable, yes there are books, but often they’re full of people who don’t understand why we don’t sell Pokemon cards and are just there to photograph the books they’ll be buying on Amazon later.
