More good news for Braverman - Mensch "Does not pay traditional upfront advances, instead offering high net-income royalty percentages designed to fairly reward creators".
Braverman's book shifts 106 copies.
Hilarious.
Her publishers are Mensch (who?)
Anyway turns out Mensch "operates independently to serve authors rather than shareholders, using print-on-demand technology and digital distribution to eliminate warehousing and overstocks."
@McivorJaymey@ShelaghFogarty McIvor. A good strong Northern Irish name.
Hold on a minute. Who gave you permission to flee across the sea? I WANT TO SEE YOUR PAPERS!

If you want to see a marvelous tour of British clothing production, check out this series that Esquire produced 15 years ago in collaboration with @paddygrant. Since this series was produced, at least two of the featured operations have shuttered.

To celebrate punk turning 50, I spoke to some of my favourite modern punk bands about the enduring legacy of power chords and provocation.
Here's why punk still matters according to @puptheband@militariegun@DanielPCarter Clobber & Steph from Gallows

I met him once boarding a plane. We were stuck in line and i was like "ok..say something..fk do it.. do it...do it" in my head..
He turns once glances at me... smiles and nods... like "yeah i know you know who i am.." and i just go quiet...then he glances back and just says "ask away..."
I did the usual "omfg love your work blah blah" and then he asked what I did and then just went into this rathole of how tech and creativity fascinate him and how people do things with computers and then we ended up talking about sheep properties and my life living in the outback... then he splintered off to his seat and mine..
Then we get to our destination, I get off and my wife is waiting for me with the kids and he gets off after me as he was ambushed with people wanting selfies... anyway I tell my wife "guess who's on the plane" and so she now wants to wait around, he then walks past us, nods at me and says "nice meeting you Scott" and continues..
The look my wife gave me at that point in time was like "WTF DID YOU DO.."
Anyway. All i remember was here's one guy who could have just waived me off took the time to chat about nothing and still somehow gave me the "you matter too" vibe.
Legend. Genuinely sad he's passed.
Here's a thought, @GNRailUK have you considered running a rail service that isn't constantly ballsed up? I know it's a radical notion but it might make a jolly change from Business as Usual for you.
