@Deliveroo missed an item from my partner’s order (#6758 rider collected at 1925) and is telling her the firm is “unable to refund, credit or redeliver”. Is this legal? She’s a lawyer so we might find out. @DeliverooHelp

@edithmayhall I don’t understand academic publishing. Wouldn’t many more of us buy this if it weren’t £95? Don’t they care about the market beyond captive institutions?

@ChatsworthHouse When will you re-open in 2024 after the winter break?

@bryan_caplan @Culture_Crit @tylercowen Hi - interesting but you’ve only scratched the surface. What, if any, are the objective criteria for aesthetic value? Hume’s ‘Of the Standard of Taste’ is the best answer I know. What’s yours?
