Great moments in Scottish engineering history: James Watt tries to work out how his phone attaches to his selfie stick.

Statue of James Watt. In his right hand he holds a telescopic stick with a frame at the top; in his left he holds a flat object about the size of a large smartphone. He is scowling at the possibly-not-a-smartphone as if he is tempted to yeet it into the sea. On that basis, it probably _is_ a phone.

The Glasgow School of Art’s Mackintosh building is a masterpiece. We need a full, faithful restoration with zero erosion of Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s original design intent. If you agree, please add your name to the petition to help save 'The Mack': you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/fu...

I would *never* drink iced coffee at a job interview. That is so lame—when you could be lining up shots of tequila!

... makes a profit! Experience (and why let that spoilsport tell the story) suggests this is a short-lived blip, and the book will shortly return to 'normal' sales, i.e. none at all... ah well, such is the life of an author. #booksky #writers

A book of mine that mostly languishes at the bottom of the bookselling platform heap has recently sold three copies, and as I am the opposite of a catastrophiser, my mind leaps to viral bookselling success, where unaided entirely by my marketing efforts, it sells record copies and even...

No-one will cry genuine tears at this guy's funeral. Not. A Single. Soul. They might mourn the end of the gravy train, but who will laugh-cry as they tell the funny stories, joke with others as they reminisce about what a joy he was to be around, remember, with glee, that time he made them laugh?

2p nudgers, romance novels and taking a break There is a distinct kind of exhaustion that strikes the moment you launch a book into the world. By late August my brain was completely fried, so I did what any weary author would do and dragged myself off to a corner of the UK I had never visited…

And a happy #Caturday to you. Ms Lucy is happily kneading in an especially soothing manner... #cats

In (not) surprising news, “Since 2019, Amazon.com, Inc. has secretly and systematically overcharged its approximately 1.2 million advertising customers by manipulating the ‘auctions’ that it uses to set the price of ads on its platform,” arstechnica.com/tech-policy/... #booksky #authors
