Have you pre-ordered Apple’s #AirTags today?

Talking about protests with @hansarg this morning reminded me of my own student journalist days, coving the 1989 student loans demo… onemanandhisblog.com/2010/11/studen…

@datatheism @Ghost I’d say that @ghost is a very opinionated platform — and is not to trying to be all things to all people — but, happily, it happens to share most of my opinions on such things…
@datatheism @Ghost Yup. Been there, done Livejournal and Blogger and Movable Type and Typepad and WordPress and…
@datatheism Well, I’ve been on @ghost for three years now — onemanandhisblog.com/2018/04/the-ha… — if that gives you any indication. I’m very happy. It suits me, and has been moving in directions I like.

So, 100 hours on from my first vaccination jab, the side-effects have been negligible. My arm was very sore until yesterday morning. I had a slight headache on Saturday morning, and I was unusually tired for most of the weekend.

Indeed. Newsletters should be additive to newsrooms, not a replacement for them. Some journalism requires teams. Some requires a robust legal defence. Newsletters open up new spaces that would be uneconomic in other models. twitter.com/iroughol/statu…
Can we do the Golgafrincham Ark Fleet Ship B thing but with with “thought leaders” and “Author/Founder/CEOs”?

@iroughol @MartinSFP It does feel ncreasingly pay-to-play.
And this, right here, is why it’s so challenging to do audience growth work on Twitter: medium.com/technically-so… (h/t @MartinSFP)
@MartinSFP The best newsletters are habits on both ends…
(I’m putting your tweet in my newsletter for tomorrow…)
Finally, I’ve had my post-lockdown haircut. t.co/KbhYWrfoj…
