I remember this thread from Twitter. I still occasionally say "What news from Stalingrad?" to myself.

Watching Masterchef Professionals and they just had to ask someone if their tart was a starter or a dessert. They were really happy when she said 'dessert'. If you served ME a dessert that was practically savoury my 2nd question would be if the chef wanted to meet me outside for a fight.

Happy to be of service. I once got into a taxi in Dublin wearing a cool new outfit. I was nervous about deviating from the norm but did it anyway.
The taxi driver was on the phone when I got in. First thing he did was finish his phone call saying "I have to go, this fella's wearing dungarees"

Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill are doing a a podcast called Pondcast where they reminisce about Doctor Who. No word on when it will become available but they’ve already recorded a few and have had Steven Moffat as a guest.

Rendering your game unplayable on it's 10th anniversary, how very Bethesda
Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition update on Steam is causing crashes, broken textures, and mod issues.
The Creations Bundle also fails to install for many, leading to a “Mostly Negative” rating at just 24% approval.
Bethesda yet to respond.

Maybe... maybe the newly released HP audio series isn't actually 'audiobook of the year', goodreads? Especially as it will win by dint of being something everyone knows.
Maybe it might be cool if people were to vote instead for Virginia Giuffre's memoir? #booksky

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?
