Hey @HachetteUS@twitter.com, @HarperCollins@twitter.com, @WileyGlobal@twitter.com, @penguinrandom@twitter.com, I will not buy any more books from you until you stop harassing the Internet Archive with lawsuits, and I will advice everyone I know to do the same.

During the weekend I ported my (abandoned) Octopress blog to Hakyll, which uses Pandoc to render LaTeX & Markdown to HTML. Look at those beautiful random formulas :D #Haskell
RT @ReclaimYourFace@twitter.com: Today, 40 organisations launch the ECI calling on the EU to ban biometric mass surveillance.
Are YOU with us? Sign for a BAN & #ReclaimYourFace.
We act to protect our humanity, a life of dignity and a future shaped by us, not algorithms.

I am now thinking this issue with #WhatsApp may genuinely be a bug as I have recently migrated my account from an US phone number to an UK one, but I have not yet changed my Google Play region, so there might be some conflict between APIs and client versions.
