Some news! So excited to be working with Grace McNamee and always grateful for the world's best agent.

Find the positive in every situation. Laugh heartily and let your worries fade away.
Create joy in every day you live. Choose love in every fleeting moment.

@joshi I imagine the Herald jump is due to an amazing subscription offer—I know I found it too cheap to resist!

[June Thomas @junethomas]

@AlexisWilkins @AmericanAir @THE40OUNCE This bot (no human would be allowed to communicate this way—at least not more than once) convinced me to steer clear of American some months ago. Thanks for the clarity, I guess?

This is what journalism is supposed to do!

[The Tribune @sheffieldtrib]

BREAKING: Andrew Milne has been arrested.

From @syptweet: "Detectives investigating allegations linked to the purchase and sale of freeholds in Sheffield have arrested a man on suspicion of fraud and blackmail."

AMAZING piece. Well worth the price of a subscription. This sort of BS will flourish without dedicated investigative outlets like @theglasgowbell

[The Bell @theglasgowbell]

❓You’ve got empty offices and a tax bill of a million pounds. A charity with a cockney self-described millionaire director says it can help. What do you do next?

[June Thomas @junethomas]

@daveweigel I guess it won’t be the case with this switcheroo, but Lordy Brits recall their currency a lot. Much of the time a change means that the pre-existing notes have a time limit. That Turner might not work in a few years.

Birmingham is a great city for a journalist to find great stories …

[Kate Knowles @pennycenturyy]

Loved chatting about Elvis, Reggie Dinkins, and the talking dead on this week’s @SlateCultFest: https://t.co/pEDDnp5q4T

(Genuinely) psyched to live in a world that also contains NMA-nominated Today in Tabs.

[June Thomas @junethomas]

@IanPrasad @BostonGlobe @Slate Yay!

[June Thomas @junethomas]

@katherineveritt Sorry, about Brazil. (Jet lag!)

[June Thomas @junethomas]

@katherineveritt I once edited a travel series about Japan … that began with this exact realization. (The writer was able to grt a visa the next day, fortunately.)

[June Thomas @junethomas]

@sheffcol Surely this is illegal!

[mollie simpson @molssimp]

in July, the @sheffieldtrib team revealed that Sheffield College was under investigation for exam fraud.

now, the college is refusing to acknowledge our FOI requests, keeping us in the dark about information we have the right to ask for.

do you plan to address this @sheffcol?

[June Thomas @junethomas]

@alicesalisburyj That’s awesome!

[June Thomas @junethomas]

@helaineolen @NathanJRobinson @curaffairs Agree. Though I’m regularly surprised by a right-wing talking point in the middle of a WSJ review. I read a lot of the books I read about there, though!

[June Thomas @junethomas]

@sir_JoeDeertay @AmericanAir @Dslag26 That’s my conclusion too.

[June Thomas @junethomas]

@ScottNover @NewYorker Great news!

[June Thomas @junethomas]

@AmericanAir @TongueXCheek Noted. A good reminder to avoid @AmericanAir whenever possible.
