@StolenRide my bike was stolen on Saturday from a bike lock-up. I’m totally gutted it’s my pride and joy… still paying back the bank-loan and it’s my transport to/from my NHS hospital work - please help if you can - it’s a real kick in the head! 😔

THREAD It’s with great sadness that, after 12 years of devotedly teaching #HistoryOfArt @OxfordConted, I’m moving on as they pursue a different direction. I’ll miss my tutors & students terribly. I’ll continue in my direction, dedicated to bringing lifelong learning to the many. – at South East, England

Cet homme avait directement souffert de la Première Guerre Mondiale et avait été résistant dans la 2e. Il était veuf depuis 1942. Il avait vécu au Canada et au Vénézuela. Il avait été pompier, éleveur, camionneur, bûcheron, vendeur... Quelle vie !

Good writing is a delight to those who read it and a mystery to those who write it.

Government must be patting itself on the back for somehow making the Indian variant story about people who refuse the vaccine. Incredible to see journalists accept this narrative without the slightest critical appraisal of it.

An issue was experienced during today's launch, resulting in the loss of the mission. We are deeply sorry to our launch customers BlackSky and Spaceflight. The issue occurred shortly after stage two ignition. More information will be provided as it becomes available.

A major plank of US liberalism (including journalists) is eagerness for more online censorship of political speech. But since nobody likes to admit they're censors, they've invented a euphemism for it -- "content moderation" -- and constantly demand that instead. Watch for it.
