I get a box of vegetables delivered weekly from Riverford Organic Farmers. Included with each box is a printed newsletter from the founder Guy Singh-Watson. I found this week’s, about plastic food packaging, very informative:

🔗 Plastic: Recyclable does not mean recycled

🏏 Superb bowling by Adil Rashid in the World Cup semi-final: 1-20 from his 4 overs

Linkblog 🔗: Oldest known written sentence discovered – on a head-lice comb

Linkblog 🔗: Low’s Mimi Parker was a voice of hope and healing in indie rock 🎵

Linkblog 🔗: What is Mastodon, and will it replace Twitter? - New Statesman

Death on the Nile, 2022 - ★★★★
