Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:
Every April, we celebrate Independent Bookstore Day to remind us how vital indie bookstores are to our communities and society. It’s a day of joy and solidarity, and significant financial impact for these bookstores. This year, Amazon is undercutting that with a “Book Sale” on the same day—a calculated move by a company that has already put half the bookstores in the country out of business, controls over 60% of the market and sells far more books than all indie bookstores combined. The people at Amazon responsible for the timing of their "Book Sale" should be ashamed, but they are shameless.

Had a fab night at The Stand comedy club last night to watch @herring1967.bsky.social on his ‘Can I Have My Ball Back?’ tour and it was hilarious. Profound and heartwarming as well as silly, I loved it. I’ll never look at a Sainsbury’s till scanner the same way.

MUSK: A sophisticated cyberattack from Ukraine took out Twitter's servers

REALITY: Twitter's servers were not secured properly and were publicly visible

Great explainer here from @lhn.bsky.social

What Really Happened With the DDoS Attacks That Took Down X
Elon Musk said a “massive cyberattack” disrupted X on Monday and pointed to “IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area” as the source of the attack. Security experts say that's not how it works.

I really enjoyed this piece by @20thcenturymarc.marcburrows.co.uk on Terry Pratchett's legacy of "militant decency" and how his books charge us to stand up against injustice, bigotry and treating people like things. And all with humour and anger combined.

Circumstances led me to dig out this video of a great bustard grunting and belching.

So here it is, in the hope that great bustard belching will improve your Monday by a solid 18.7%.

Sound up!

How adorable is this AirPods case, matching my lovely restored original GameBoy? #Nintendo #Gameboy #retrogaming
A restored original GameBoy console with Tetris loading on the screen. Next to it on a wooden table is a small Apple AirPods Pro 2 case, grey silicone with details matching the GameBoy styling. Cute!
