1. > Booking issues << The trouble with bubbles The intensity of internet discourse can sometimes create an overinflated sense of just how interested the general public is in certain stories. For instance, Graham Linehan's new memoir Tough Crowd: How 1 Made And Lost A Career In Comedy sold 39 copies in its First week - including pre-sales. A figure that fails to place it in the Top 1000. To put that into context, titles that did crack the Top Thou include: a large print wordsearch book in at No.551, which sold more than tuice that; and a colouring book called Dinosaurs Around The World, which sold over 2,060.

  @sarahdal Never heard of this person and looks like can forget I ever learned of his existence. Reading up on him it's fascinating that he went from "I'm not transphobic just because I wrote a transphobic character in 2008" to being such a hard-core anti-trans person that he broke up his marriage over it and got banned from Twitter even during the Musk era.
