@squishberry@mastodon.world This sign is on a bus stop in England. It refers to a v popular book which was adapted ito a v popular TV series. The author is v prominent in UK & Ireland, but her book is being withdrawn from sale in UK. It's a huge news story.
Your profile says u live on the west side of the Atlantic. I hear u now have some media of your own over there, & don't watch the media here. So u the poster goes over your head.
But the poster isn't talking to u. It doesn't need to facilitate you.

Muppet @squishberry@mastodon.world replies to me, without even reading what I had written to them. The book was published in 2018. Thsts 8 years ago. The TV series was released in 2020. 6½ years ago. But squishberry thinks its about an imminent publication. What's going on tonight? Very vocal won't-reads aplenty.

@2legged@mastodon.ie Most people don't read books, or have any idea what books are coming out. So I doubt that the majority of people who see that in real life have any idea what it's talking about either.
