I lost my job.

Unfortunately, myself and several others have been made redundant from The News Movement.

As you can probably guess, I’m tweeting this to let you know that I’m now available for new opportunities.

@edyong209 A brilliant run Ed, and the very best of luck with your next move. As much as you’ve achieved at the Atlantic, I know there’s so much more to come, and we’re all looking forward to seeing it.

@Eaterofsun If I’m in NYC and can soothe the early start with a cocktail, let me know.

Some exciting news: the BBC has a new international tech newsletter - and I’m writing it.

It’s been a busy few weeks getting everything ready with @willsmale1 and @nbarrett100, and we can’t wait to deliver the first edition on Monday.

@paleofuture Thanks for pointing me to The Duke, I should watch it.

[simon frantz @simon_frantz]

@paleofuture Yeah, it isn’t clear outside the UK, which is why I asked rather than judged.

[simon frantz @simon_frantz]

@paleofuture It isn’t, but curious about why you think it is.

@jeffjarvis Sorry to hear the news, may his memory be a blessing.

@rifish Happy publication day Richard!🪵Delighted to see all your thinking and hard work come to fruition. Publishers, please let's have a US release date soon for this epic book!

[Richard Fisher @rifish]

🎉 A big day for me today: The Long View is published! 🎉 We wanted to mark the launch with something special - and so here is the cover... in wood! The story behind it speaks to the kindness & creativity I often encounter in long-minded communities. Here's how it was made...

A direct ask: pre-orders *really* matter for book authors, so if you'd be willing to reserve/buy a copy of my book The Long View this week, I would be ever so grateful. It's out 30 March, two weeks from now! There are a bunch of retailer options here: https://t.co/RZRtCcUjr2
