So @Wix is going to start charging me 10% more for AI I actively dislike and want no part of. No option to just opt out. Any recommendations for better platforms that won’t do this? @squarespace maybe?

In case anyone wonders how this panned out: a meaningless logged complaint and a suggestion that the seller claim on insurance. Mistakes happen but the lying bugs me: they invented a safe place that doesn’t exist, and left a valuable parcel outside my front door.

Well done @RoyalMail - agreed you’d delay my delivery as I requested, sent email confirmation , and instead have dumped it on my doorstep claiming that’s my nominated safe place - it is no such thing. Chaotic and dishonest.

I’m actually going to start specifying to companies that if they use @UPS_UK I won’t buy from them. The service is just so bad…

@ninacaplan finds there's much to toast in new film Widow Clicquot, but her inner wine geek feels it's missing some key parts of the story cluboenologique.com/story/wi…

Warm-up (in every sense) for tomorrow’s world record attempt at our village Brioche Fête. They are trying for 1200 brioches; already hold the record for the biggest brioche, 3 metres across and weighing 13 tonnes #France #Brioche #LaFêteDeLaBrioche

Actually that works for me
Ahead of the result and pretty much regardless of the result, the thing I'd say is that for three elections running, Sadiq Khan's main selling point is "I'm not that Tory nutjob" and really he ought to have more than that by now. It's all been pretty mediocre

🔥Urgent #Liverpool & #Manchester Solidarity Actions🔥 Say NO to #detention and the #Rwanda plan! Today, the government started a "Rwanda Operation". The operation will target people attending reporting centres across the country, as well as through raids on our community.

Finally summoned the emotional resilience to read @JenSeniorNY story in @TheAtlantic on her aunt Adele and I can see exactly why it just won a National Magazine Award. Devastating in the best way. Congratulations. theatlantic.com/magazine/arc…
