Having major flashbacks to one of the last big things I remember from Twitter. Someone help me...

@overholt I always wonder about their name and whether it's evasively capitalizing on the (untrue) association people will make. I have tons of their books on my to-read list, but not sure I've read one. Not sure I will, now

@aehdeschaine @overholt @shandyist I have tried to warn people about that publisher a number of times but they do not always listen to me.
