Yesterday I emailed @MasterOfMalt @MasterofMaltCS because Evri seemed to have misplaced my package. They not only replied very quickly but also sent out a replacement, and it arrived within 24 hours of that reply. Excellent service. Thanks, Tyler! pic.twitter.com/jzs3M3eg7f

@martr101 Today’s problem did seem to be the lock gate banging into some sturdy debris on the bottom, rather than any mechanical failure. They were still dredging for something with a grappling hook when I left so I don’t know what it turned out to be.

Lexialex The Saudis bribed a Twitter employee into handing them the names and IP addresses of Saudi dissident accounts. Those dissidents were arrested, probably tortured in prison. That Twitter employee is on trial right now and barely anybody is interested bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

DanNeidle The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Nadhim Zahawi, has been sending threatening letters to people investigating his tax affairs. The letters are designed to intimidate & say they’re confidential and can’t be published.

One was sent to me. I am publishing it. taxpolicy.org.uk/2022/07/22/let…

“Modern ingenuity had been employed on such trifles as locomotive engines, electric cables, and cantilever bridges; on elaborate devices for bringing uninteresting people nearer together…”

Hrm.

@jukesie The Balloon Fiesta at least has fantastic, uncrowded morning launches if you’re prepared to get up early. I love those. The crowds later, not so much.

@jukesie Yes. But there may be snacks. And carnage does sometimes mean good street photography.

GeorgeMonbiot 4 months after my mother passed away, @VodafoneUK still won’t cancel her account. Our calls, when we finally get through, have been met with extreme rudeness and aggression, and demands that my frail, confused father answers impossible, irrelevant questions. But it gets worse …

McDougallSophia “Average novelist writes one novel a year” factoid actually just statistical error. Average novelist writes 0 novels per year. Adrian Spiders Tchaikovsky, who lives in cave and writes over 10,000 novels each day, is an outlier and should not have been counted. @aptshadow
