A few irons in the fire

[Niall Ferguson @nfergus]

Is it 1973 or 1939? If China were to launch an invasion of Taiwan next year, and war were to break out between Iran and its regional foes, then we might well have to start talking about World War III, rather than Cold War II. https://t.co/JeWUGrUGIg 1/8

Maria Genkin:
Pictures of some villages freed in Kyiv region, specifically Bucha, are devastating. Dead people lying outside of their houses, in what can only have been a “zachistka” - systemic execution of the men of each house. One body in front of every house.

Just caught up with this insightful analysis of the war from Lawrence Freedman, @LawDavF on @substack https://t.co/wrCjHaoW4c

G’day from Down Under @tedcruz. Thanks for your interest in the Territory. I’m the Chief Minister. Below are a few facts about COVID down here.

[James Gardiner @JLSGardiner]

@kayosports_help what does “global rate limited exceeded” mean? There is no reference to it on your help pages. I’ve a full kayo account but can’t log back in and watch the AFL after the app dropped out 10mins ago.

Hi @VirginAustralia. Unfortunately your call centre is not taking calls so I have been unable to cancel my flight from Sydney to Perth which departs today at 1.55pm. Can you please DM me so that we can go through the details and also so you can allocate away my empty seat. Thanks

Thoughts on the crisis in Iraq, with some historical analogies. No, Soleimani wasn't the Archduke Franz Ferdinand. More like Reinhard Heydrich: https://t.co/GoplCYsXQc

This is the central issue of the climate change debate. Until someone tells me how exactly the rest of us are going to constrain China and India, it's all virtue signaling.

@JigsawBox Thanks for getting back. Your support team has come back to us and our issue is resolved. We needed to reach out via this medium because our issue was critical and there is no other way to contact you except email where we had no response. Going forward is there a number to call?

[James Gardiner @JLSGardiner]

Hi @JigsawBox. We have a very urgent problem with our jigsawbox software, which we fully subscribe to, however we have not been able to get a response from you for 2 days despite numerous attempts. Can you please get back to me ASAP or provide a phone number I can call. Thank you

[James Gardiner @JLSGardiner]

@Qantas I’ve been waiting for a call back from your customer service team for over 2 hours so that I can change my AUS domestic flight from this afternoon to tomorrow due to illness. It is an urgent issue that can’t be done online. Can you please contact me ASAP. Much appreciated

[James Gardiner @JLSGardiner]

https://t.co/L1MyfeQXDJ @SamClench you didn’t mention one key point - the HK protests are finally working. Morey’s tweet has enlightened the non-news following masses to an issue which everyone, especially NBA watching Americans, can relate to; freedom. Tipping point approaching?

[James Gardiner @JLSGardiner]

@TPG_Telecom Thank you very much for your prompt response Daisy. I look forward to hearing from the case engineer.

[James Gardiner @JLSGardiner]

@TPG_Telecom as a long standing customer, I can’t believe TPG has yet to provide any level of compensation for the many many outages that have occurred with my internet the past 12 months. Call-backs were promised but the issue remains unresolved. TPG can you please sort this out

[James Gardiner @JLSGardiner]

@TPG_Telecom can someone please resolve the issues with my NBN. It has been almost a week this time. I have had numoutous conversations and visits from your technicians without the issue being fixed. Unfortunately this is the 5th time this year we’ve had a material outage.

[James Gardiner @JLSGardiner]

@Barefootpunter1 @Robbo_heraldsun Very true. I think there is not enough emphasis or analysis put on little knock-ons and knock-outs (when you knock it out of an oppositions’ hand). Port certainly did that with aggressiveness in the 2nd qtr.

[James Gardiner @JLSGardiner]

@Robbo_heraldsun gutsy fightback by Port so far! Game on?

[James Gardiner @JLSGardiner]

@TPG_Telecom Can you please coordinate with NBN and fix the service on Brighton Boulevard in Bondi. This is the 5th serious outage this year which is causing material economic damage to my business. Neighbours paying for your service are also having the same issues. Thank you

We need a NATO Article 5 for intellectuals. "The lesson of the Cold War is clear. From now on, an attack on one of us must be considered an attack on all of us." https://t.co/iDcsj1Dqyo @Roger_Scruton @jordanbpeterson @Samuel_J_Abrams @peterboghossian @NigelBiggar
