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

@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?

@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.

@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.)

@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.

@joshi @ManchesterMill @reformparty_uk @ElectoralCommUK I hate the fake newspapers campaigns print and distribute (for obvious reasons), but this is much worse.

[June Thomas @junethomas]

@Jacob_Brogan This sucks so hard. What a great section with amazing writers, a broad range of books covered, and really fun non-review book pieces. (I loved the writers’ home tours!) And a treat to be edited so elegantly by you and Nora.

[June Thomas @junethomas]

@amandahess Reminds me of your Slack piece from another era. Actual humans love to talk to each other in private!

[June Thomas @junethomas]

@joshi @millmediauk @molssimp @WIJ_UK @ManchesterMill Well deserved! Congrats, Mollie!

[June Thomas @junethomas]

@mitchprothero @ParraV Aha! Let’s face it, we’re all superstars!
