Every year on #Halloween we carve a #Pumpkin from our collection of Penguin Books. 🎃
We're up to our elbows here in juicy plots and seedy characters. Luckily there's not much pulp fiction. 🎃

And don't forget that if you're stacking that guy Faulks on top of the Bonfire of the Vanities tonight, make sure you've not got a copy of the Hodgeheg or Mrs Tiggywinkle stuck between the pages. 🦔

It's a little known fact that Otis Redding spent time in Hoy, #Orkney during the 1920s while engineer Ernest Cox carried out salvage work on the scuttled German fleet, as shown in this photograph.
Apparently Otis was often seen sitting on the dock in Mill Bay, watching the tide roll away.

So he decided that in 1891 when he was 40 years old he didn't need to celebrate his birthday anymore and gifted the date to Annie Ide, writing up an official document that passed the date from him to her so she could finally have a special birthday all to herself. #RLSDay

Today is #RLSDay which marks the birthday of the Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson who would have been 175 today.
It's also a good day to remember that it is NOT actually his birthday because in 1891 he gave it away to a young girl because she didn't like her birthday. 🧵

Loved it though. Made me giggle. AutoCorrect has a mind of its own.
Rather embarrassing that AutoCorrect changed “short but sweet piece” to “short butt, sweet peace.” If only I had a short butt! And if only we had a sweet peace!
My short butt, sweet peace on the aftermath of yesterday and it’s impact on the shutdown

Woke means kind and tolerant and inclusive and generous of spirit and enlightened and morally sound. And it’s not back. It never left for most of us. The only ones doubting it and wanting us to renounce it were the haters and their appeasers.

A new report finds corporations like Kroger and McDonald's are using digital loyalty programs to track your data and potentially charge you more.
It's a tactic known as surveillance pricing.

Amazingly, our Vancouver visit has coincided with the construction of Canada’s very first Dutch-inspired fietsstraat (“bicycle street”).
Burnaby’s Frances-Union Bikeway is currently getting an all ages and abilities upgrade that treats cyclists as the main users of the corridor, and cars as guests.
