"Go Straight".
The Captain's edition of "A Tale of Two Halves".

Books I've enjoyed, from a publisher I will never, ever purchase from again. Looking forward to sharing exactly why in several Slack channels tomorrow, with an audience tailor-made for this. Reprehensible.

Dear supporters of Bitmap Books,

Although I stand by the fact that Moses’ comments were ill-advised and insensitive, the whole thing blew up and was made much bigger than it needed to be. Moses has publicly apologised for any offence caused, as has the original poster of the comments who did not intend to cause this much trouble. I do not feel that this warrants an author losing his livelihood and ruining years of hard work to produce the book.

Despite multiple accusations to the contrary, Moses freely agreed to donate his royalties to charity. There was no coercion from me, however we both recognise that due to an increasingly stressful situation that decisions were rushed on both sides. I’m pleased to say that Moses and I have spoken again today, we stand together, and have agreed that he will receive 100% of his royalties.

Maybe I was hasty in my response, and I’m happy to admit to that. At the time I sincerely thought I was doing the right thing to diffuse an increasingly difficult situation. I will commit to donating all company profits from this first print run to the charity, Special Effect.

The bottom line is that is that Moses has apologised for his original comments, and will now be paid the royalties that are rightfully his.

Moses and myself have received a large amount of personal abuse and threats over the past few days. We hope that this statement will bring some closure to what has happened.

Sam Dyer, founder of Bitmap Books

You know what was weird last week? I didn’t see anyone fired for quoting words actually spoken by Jane Goodall.

The Ig Nobel is incredible , one year an Indian guy won it for calculating the average surface area of an elephant and during his acceptance they had an elephant hold up a sign with the surface area of the scientist on it, they do showbiz better than the Oscars

Video: a Japanese scientist was attacked by flies while giving the acceptance speech for his Ig Nobel Prize-winning research paper that proved painting Zebra-like stripes on cows led to a decrease in biting fly attacks.

Hakeem Jeffries still refuses to endorse the Democratic Nominee for NYC mayor but has plenty of praise for Eric Adams who, left the party, openly supports Trump, & cut a deal with Trump to disappear the DOJ’s bribery & corruption charges against him. Can’t imagine why the Dem Party has 26% approval🤔

Hakeem Jeffries might have the worst politician account on here. It's like Magic Johnson's except it's not funny when he's out here stating the obvious about things that affect people's lives, while not doing much to fix them.

Some amazing titles here at #VanGameGarden, but my fave rave has to be Let Them Come: Onslaught. A novel take on the Vampire Survivor genre with a CHONKY aesthetic- surprise of the show so far.

He's too busy destroying his own party from within. Trump-lite will get you paid for dust up here - ask PP how it turned out for him.
