Read: Shrines of Gaiety by Kate Atkinson ★★★★☆ 📚
1920’s London, mad night life, huge cast of unique and surprising characters tangled in a web of crime(s). Very funny, gets so complex there is a lot of tying up of loose ends in the last couple of chapters.

Quoted Strap on that Jetpack, Fly Over the Dead Bird in the Road (cogdogblog.com)
I’m no super billionaire businessman, but to cut off the world’s largest web publishing platform from adding content to your product is— dumb ass to the nth degree.
