Detective Hole, we're gonna need you go deep on this one. You're gonna really have to get dirty this time. We've gotta wipe this city clean. Cleanse the taint. Really get in there see how far down this goes.

A thing that often makes me see red is execs saying "but we're doing an elevated version of [x]." What if you... just did x? When an exec says "elevated version of" you can be pretty sure they mean "I think this is trash so we're trying to not do the thing you want but make you think we're doing it"

I saw an ebook copy of Pride & Prejudice in the Sora Overdrive Marketplace for close to $100 recently. I can't remember the type but I think it was metered. And that's not an unusual price. Even the CPC version, I could buy a used print copy for the price of one circ.
