@robin Good luck with the olive shopping. I’m sorry for the frustration, but solving the business problem probably promises some good newsletter content, maybe?
This John Peel Archive is ambitious. I like a lot of the art direction. The editorial content is very nice. Some of the interaction is too cute. http://johnpeelarchive.com/
Fun title on Bruce Schneier’s new book https://www.schneier.com/books/click_here/

Tying some supplementary media into the Austin music history project from Belgium this morning is a good reminder of how limiting YouTube territorial content restrictions are. So much valuable context we can’t provide to people outside of the U.S.
Interesting reporting on trademark battles and algorithmic recommendations in the self-published romance novel world from Sarah Jeong https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/16/17566276/cockygate-amazon-kindle-unlimited-algorithm-self-published-romance-novel-cabal
Really lovely photos of the Tashkent subway, first built in the 1960s when Tashkent hit the 1 million population threshold required for a Soviet city to start a metro system.
