@dhlexpressuk Ok. The email is from DHL e-commerce U.K. frankly amrick, I give up. The package was due to be picked up four days ago. And I have been Notified that it will be picked up today. Which is too late. Waste of money. And time.

[David Barrie @davidbarrie]

Must remember @dhlexpressuk never to use you again. A day late. No information. An app designed to give you no information. And then a long wait on the line for no answer to an enquiry. Takes some doing to be so non customer-facing. #dhlfail

[David Barrie @davidbarrie]

@dhlexpressuk Messaged you 4hrs ago. Still waiting. No reply. Using X to virtue signal? 🥱

Table set outside Downing Street for the hostages. Incredibly poignant and powerful.

@danahern96 @JonMartini79 Dan, I worked in TV for 25yrs so might be able to give some thoughts. As for industries w/ an interest in transferable skills, I’d look at advertising/marketing, cyber security, e-commerce and any space where data needs gamification.

The same paper which carries daily panics to frighten parents about moral corruption also commissions this totally uncritical puff piece about a pornographer. Almost like it’s a circular business model. https://t.co/IuXFmOn6cR

@johnsweeneyroar Do you really need to post that image? Please take it down.

wow. 'Multiple Floors of Los Angeles Skyscrapers Are Covered in Graffiti'. The mixed-use development has been unoccupied since 2019. The developer had ran out of money. https://t.co/pu56isdu7J

Whisper it… shush… Soft Things is irritating, pretentious twaddle.

Such sad news today. Silent Servant and Sandwell Music were just amazing.

[Resident Advisor @residentadvisor]

Ht @CCP_Swift for joining our @YourGameAcademy zoom call last night. Compelling on the value to social media engagement of speaking like your audience. 🙏

[David Barrie @davidbarrie]

The boringness of #streaming #media is hardly ever mentioned. Loads of scene-setting. Little new action. Everything s.t.r.e.t.c.h.e.d. Zero interaction. Wash, rinse, repeat. Like the Taviani Brothers went mainstream. 🙄 https://t.co/m1geWajWIU

@dominiccampbell @GuyClapperton You’re so right. It all feels a bit cryptic at times. Which breeds mistrust.

[David Barrie @davidbarrie]

'Mr Bates vs The Post Office' shines a light on the power of journalistically-centred, independent media product. Next up: call time on the Vanity Fair style documentary essays funded and exec'ed by their, er, subjects. https://t.co/vJvypi7WDp via @ft

[Frederic Court @fcourt]

A great analogy by @eldsjal to see founders as “curators” or “producers”. A great way to empower teams and scale creativity.

14. We can't complain that leaders lack seriousness, if we reward them for being "fun".

We can't be surprised at rule-breaking, when we tell our leaders that the rules don't apply.

We can't protest at government by fantasists, if we indulge their historical fantasies.
