Not specific books per se, but a kind of interesting article related to the publishing industry via Amazon e-book sales... For the random interest, here's this... Although I won't copy the whole thing, just the opener for those who might want to grok it. Author Earnings - Annual Report

With all the controversy over Joss Whedon, Sexism, and the Black Widow going on, and Whedon being driven off twitter... Here's a bit from Mark Ruffalo on Reddit over it.

Ah, sweet advertising.. https://vimeo.com/125126444

Ah, the sweet joys of autocorrect settings..

Purely for the funky... (Although I believe it only works when filming with a camera that has the same fps rate as the wave frequency...) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mODqQvlrgIQ

Okay, this from an RPG book amused me..

The Stallone film kind of caught the zany wackiness approach and aesthetics of the Dredd comics, so I have to recognise it for that. Even if so much else was wrong. The Urban version nailed the serious side of it, and was an all-around better done version. Unfortunately, it lost too much money and is unlikely to be followed up on - at least in the cinema and tv world. I had heard they were going to do a "sequel" style story, but as a short comic run. No idea how far that went ahead.

The Eichmann Show. BBC dramatization of the Eichmann trial - When Adolf Eichmann was captured and taken to Israel to be held accountable for planning the final solution - as shown from the perspective of the producer and director of the television documentary following it. Martin Freeman and Anthony Lepaglia playing those parts respectively, along with a strong supporting cast. It follows the initial struggles as they try to get permission from Israel and the judges of the trial to have cameras there, and the issues with the networks. The daily footage of the trial is generally considered to be the first global television documentary. Starts slowly, but when the trial begins they blend in actual footage from the events, especially with the witness accounts, and those pile on the feels. Kind of highlights how so many people, even large swathes of the jewish population in Israel, didn't really believe the holocaust happened and how the trials global nature and show on television changed that perspective.

The question of the importance of the comma....

And sci-fi authors rue the day.. as shown in the funny things thread.

Heh. The classic from my point of view is my old secondary school. Classic English All-Boys School, and one of the French teachers was married to one of the Spanish teachers, and that Spanish teacher was incredibly hot. The stupid was that her husband kept some risqué and topless pictures of her in his briefcase, and it became something of a known thing. Seriously, things not to do in that sort of environment. If you're going to have naughty pictures of the wife, you don't bring them to an all boys school. Especially when she's the hot teacher at that school.
