I see "Waterstones" is trending because some people think (again) we're selectively refusing to stock certain newly published books 🙄, when the irony is our warehouse is undergoing a full stocktake and we haven't had any deliveries at all from them for best part of a week.

I narrated this book. And I’m aware that the OP is performative garbage mean to incite anger/engagement. Still, there’s nothing in this book controversial or divisive. It is just a coming-of-age romance. What a strange & horrible timeline where bigots burn books for fear of love. twitter.com/alexraymr/stat

Lauren Thoman/Preorder I’LL STOP THE WORLD

@LaurenThoman

I don't know who needs to hear this but most of the 1-star Amazon reviews for The Princess Bride by William Goldman are people absolutely IRATE that it isn't "the original book" and is instead an "abridged version" by "the screenplay writer."

Lauren Thoman/Preorder I’LL STOP THE WORLD

It's a mark of a veteran bookseller when you have had to gently inform at least one customer that there sadly is no original version of The Prices Bride by S. Morgenstern. That, and the regrettable nonexistence of the actual Necronomicon, by Abdul Alhazred.

When designing the Titan's Transporter Room, my goal was for folks not to notice it. I didn't want folks to say WOW, how cool. It's just another Transporter room like they have seen before. It should look and feel exactly like a natural evolution of the TNG Era. #StarTrekPicard

Have just spoke to them. Things being changed so I can try applying again. Although unable to explain what issue was.

Don Bluth animation at its finest, in a set of games that are incredibly hard. The sort of games that really are best experienced as Let’s Play. Coz you will die and fail a lot. QTE games before they were even a thing.

I often think about this chase from the Dragon's Lair 2 game where Dirk fights an evil wizard and Beethoven's cat. It's so unhinged. Someone great on youtube remixed it just to Beethoven's 5th.

Twitter seems to be having a funny turn with its promoted tweets. The first was about needing ID for an Election in Slough, England. The next was for double tax from Estonia. I’m nowhere near slough, and never been to, or searched about Estonia. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

it was on our doorstop for < 60 seconds (more likely < 30 seconds). No way it had time to soak through external box to internal box on the doorstop.

Hmm

don’t cook certain sausages in the Lakeland Double Airfryer … what % fat are we talking about? (Pg 17 lakeland.co.uk/content/docume ) Aside, you & #Evri need to work on delivery. Despite outer box, the internal box still ended up with this water damage.

#ttrpg this'll be the nerdiest tweet in a while -- I used Freeform, free on Mac, to bang together a quick Zone based (my preferred mode) combat map for an encounter. Took 15 minutes. You can make up some counters (see the archers up there?) and use it as a fast digital playmat.
