IN BOOKSHOPS AND COOL PLACES — TheQuestor

Reece Walsh was worth the entrance fee alone; I’ve never seen a player move like him before. He’ll go down as the greatest of all time I reckon.

Beirut: a world of loss and wonder — Wave Your Arms

I read this post and the comments - astonishing that the talent filter to major houses is the same group of agents; perhaps a few hundred people “filtering” hundreds of thousands of ideas and proposals. There has to be a better way than being mired in the trenches for years?

More and more I am hearing about authors querying 300 times before signing with an agent. That’s the story of 3 of my clients. 🤯🤯🤯Are you still in the querying trenches? How many queries have you sent? How long have you been querying?

still working remote in 2025 is like being one of those Japanese soldiers who stayed in the jungle for 30 years after WWII.

This is misinformation, @Apple! I’m going to sue @tim_cook for false advertising. Apple marketed iPhones as secure, claiming no one could access my private data, yet now they’ve given access to the UK government! This is a breach of trust. I need a solicitor to file my case. Anyone with expertise in data privacy law, get in touch! #AppleLies #PrivacyBreach #Lawsuit
