Honey tongued
Another episode where the writer descends to cranky commentary on social media to make a point (or possibly just vent frustration).

Clash of the centuries
A masterclass by legacy media in how to write a press release is self-serving on their part and a waste of time on mine. But my nasty email was unnecessary. Maybe we're both trapped in the twentieth century.
