No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

100% support this. Great initiative.

The treatment of this woman is absolutely outrageous and one of the most egregious corporate violations of free speech I've seen. I have just bought the book as a fuck you to Facebook. It's available here uk.bookshop.org/p/books/care...

“They’ve silenced her. “This is an attempt to punish someone who spoke the truth.” The "bizarre" moment @maitlis.bsky.social is forced to ask Facebook whistleblower Sarah Wynn-Williams to leave the studio.

What an incredible and devastating read. Facebook / Meta truly is a moral vacuum. It’s one thing working for a shitty leadership in a shitty company, but this company dominates our lives whether we choose to accept it or not, so it matters. Urge everyone to read it.

Inspired by Harriet Tyce on Instagram to delivery by @bertsbooks.bsky.social only a day or two later. Top notch.

So @bertsbooks.bsky.social is getting a bit fancy with his gold ribbons! This book has been all over my socials this past week with huge praise so it has been a must buy.

So I went to see what all the Wuthering Heights fuss was about.

The website turns 7 soon! And we've just passed a big milestone. 10,000 different people have ordered from us in those 7 years. So, a little giveaway? Reply with the best book you've bought from us by Saturday 31st and I'll pick someone at random to win another book of their choice!

STOP. We have a major news story in our house. It's been building up for a few days and this afternoon came the denouement. It's the story of a banana.

100% this, on the grounds that the best time to do this was any time in the last 18 years but the second best time is now

"Look for me in the trees. I will be there in the trees." A letter worth reading? ✅️🤍 (Sent into The Irish Times)

A really worthy winner. I loved this book.

After a very close vote, both on Twitter and on Instagram, the winner of #TheBerties for this year - as voted by you - is The Eights by @joannamillerauthor.bsky.social Congratulations Joanna!

Here's a little bit of news. We can now ship to the Republic of Ireland again! We've done a couple of tests over the last few months, and because books are 0% VAT there, we can send with minimal disruption. Tell your (Irish) friends!

Wordle 1,583 1/6 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Thrilled as I am, this has been my starter word for so so long!! I don’t know whether to keep it or change it now!

I think I need you to add this to the website @bertsbooks.bsky.social !!

well this is exciting news to see today! A new novel from ML Stedman coming in Feb next year!

What a book, what a writer. Having adored About A son I knew I would love this too. 200 pages of such eloquent thoughtful prose. What starts with trying to find out what has happened to a woman missing for the last 13 years becomes so much more. A study in love and loss and dealing with grief.

It’s my birthday and I’ll give away books if I want to. Spend £20 on books at bertsbooks.co.uk today and I’ll send you a paperback I think you’ll love - at no extra cost! Excludes subscriptions, UK only.

When I read The Salt Path a couple of years ago I never bought the backstory and seemed to be one of the few at the time that didn’t love the book. A great piece of journalism.

I spent months on this investigation and gathered docs from the UK courts, Land Registry and a French local authority, to show that Raynor and Moth Winn's story is not as they claim. @tortoisemedia.bsky.social @observeruk.bsky.social observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Ooooh! Thanks @bertsbooks.bsky.social and especially all those who recommended this one

Heard about this via @trientertainment.bsky.social and Marina Hydes praise. Loved loved loved. Laughed out loud . If Adam Kay did the Army. This is the book.

Duolingo is now an utter shit show if you are on the free version. hearts replaced with energy that runs out regardless of whether you get answers right or not. Dutch course so short that is not vaguely worth the subscription.

The most wonderful emotional book I have read in quite some time. A story of aging, and coming to terms with it. A must read.

Have always loved @barristersecret.bsky.social on social, as well as their non fiction writing, so have very much enjoyed this first foray into fiction which is published in August this year! A murder trial narrated by two of the co-defendants, the prosecutor, one defence barrister and the judge. 👏🏻

Uh yeah I should have warned you all our new garden furniture has just arrived and the peonies are just blooming so this is standard.
