• Songlin’s tweet: “In honor of the Sherlock Holmes stories hitting the public domain, I think it’s a great time to honor the losers who kept it out for so many years: the useless lot of loafers who call themselves the “Conan Doyle Estate.” Today I looked at their awful website. Let’s roast it.” (Twitter)
