My only opinion on the Bond thing is that it's another example of franchises allowing the fans to steer the work instead of them having something to say and letting the fans like it or not. If you had any idea beyond 'Bond Film = $$$$' it wouldn't even be a conversation.

A *lot* of indies (myself included!) who are wide are part of Kobo Plus because they don't ask for exclusivity like KU. Really encourage people to try it out.
Kobo is doing a 30 day free trial promotion for their Kindle Unlimited competitor service Kobo Plus for new subscribers (not sure if this is US only), if you like queer indie books, small press SFF, and backlist SFF from large publishers there's a lot to choose from on this service that's not on KU!

Thinking of the earnest video where they went on for 15 minutes about how important it was that there was a setting which reflected light of faces in a super special nuanced way in Yotei. And I was like... babe unless it's a light to indicate when to parry I do not care

News media should be more aggressive in its messaging: we OWN the BBC. To sue it is to sue the people. Fine for malpractice situations, but for a foreign leader to do it is a threat to us all.
Can Donald Trump sue the BBC for $1bn and which party would win?

Anyone remember The Hogarth Shakespeare, a hugely ambitious project announced in 2013 where contemporary authors wrote versions of all of Shakespeare plays, inc Atwood, St Aubyn, Winterson etc - and then it fizzled out after half a dozen?
Well, it’s back! This time as ‘Shakespeare Retold’.

Me, giggling like a goblin, strapping myself into the BBC Boss chair, commissioning non-celeb sitcom & sketch show after another. High concept narrative comedies by women! 100 shows with writers rooms! Tell whatever celeb blokes are doing a travel show they can make their own way back from Bordeaux!

While I'm whining I put a game up on vinted (at the average price) not expecting it to sell quickly. Never sold on there before so was just curious, as I had a game to get rid of.
It sold in 5 bloody minutes and I now have to do a load of admin for it.

What Wordsworth, Blake, Byron, etc
Were banging on about in their writing

My theory about Joyce Carol Oates is that all her bad posts are her charging up like Godzilla's spines until she lets loose with a radioactive blast that leaves the world's richest Nazi a pile of ash

The year I was born! Very intrigued as to what Terry Wogan did to be ranked only a few spots below Thatcher. Also some people voted Rick Astley for every category - what a harbinger of Rickrolling that is.
