Gorgeous cover, but whatever you do, the title is unreadable. Nine times out of ten it's the font. Thin, condensed, or overly decorative type vanishes at thumbnail size — exactly where buyers first see your book. Quick fix: pick a typeface with weight and clean shapes, then shrink the cover to thumbnail. If the title still reads at a glance, you're good.

This is unfortunately a lot more widespread than people realise. A company I used to work at used CompanyName1 (I can’t say the name) as a password to a critically important back-end system. No 2FA. Until I forced them to change it all. Lucky that I got there before hackers did.
A hacker accessed Denmark's national ID database. 8.8 million records. the password was "123456". The administrator account at Pays ApS, a 2-person IT company with legal access to the country's central civil registration database used 123456 as its password. at least three accounts did. including the admin. and the hacker was in for 21 days and 17 hours. The Danish digital affairs minister called it an "extremely serious incident." In the week after the breach became public, Danes setting up credit fraud alerts went from 250,000 to nearly 970,000. the hacker told the newspaper Politiken the access wasn't difficult. The CPR contains names, addresses, national ID numbers, church membership, and legal incapacitation records for 11 million people. protected by 123456. at a 2-person company. that had legal access to it.

This is a ClickFix (or TerminalFix) scam. 🤷 Not new, but it's the first time I've come across one. Part of me admires the sheer gall and ingenuity of giving me instructions on how to infect my own PC. A bigger part of me is p*ssed off on behalf of those who'll fall for it.

Yoda says not everyone will like your book, and that’s okay. It’s also okay for bad reviews to make you really sad, especially when you’re already struggling to write and feeling so low. 💚 Another message meant mainly for me.

PSA: Forcing a cat onto a plant-based diet violates Section 9 of the Animal Welfare Act. When the cat starts suffering due to poor nutrition, it becomes a criminal offence under Section 4.👮🧑‍⚖️ Cats are obligate carnivores; they need meat to survive.🥩😸 legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/200…
if your cat is not vegan, neither are you
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Cats are obligate carnivores requiring animal-sourced nutrients and should not be fed vegan diets per veterinary experts. Veganism is a human philosophy of avoiding animal exploitation; it does not require pets to eat plant-based food. aspca.org/news/why-cant-… petmd.com/cat/nutrition/… bva.co.uk/news-and-blog/… vegansociety.com/go-vegan/defin… catster.com/nutrition/cats…

Trying to make an audiology appointment at @NHSuk. #1: Called the usual number. Got told to call #2. #2: Wrong team. Gave #3 to call. #3: Said to call #1 again. #1: A different person answers: "Yes, I can book that for you." Full circle in four calls. NHS efficiency! 😆

In an anthology, the editor made a minor adjustment to one of the dialogues of my 2nd MC, which broke the character's identity.🤦‍♂️ The character in question was an ancient immortal being who never used contractions when he spoke. Except in that one line the editor edited... 🫠
