I travel by train a fair bit, and have NEVER seen these @lner.co.uk 'order at your seat' QR codes actually work.

It always just *happens* to be unavailable today.

I'm honestly intrigued as to whether I'm supremely unlucky or it's just a front to look good.

Has anyone ever successfully used it?

How not to write an email 101.

I got this email this morning and have no idea what it's about. I *suspect* it's something to do with emails I send about recent disability cuts, but I don't know for sure what 'these important matters' are, or who 'the campaign organisers' are.

Sam's fundraiser is at 24%. Can we reach 25% by the end of the week? Just £34 to go.

I've been talking to my kid about dodgy chain messages and why they're *always* a scam.

Does anyone know of tween-friendly articles about it?

I've found ones focusing on dodgy links and replies. But this WhatsApp, for example, doesn’t have a call to action beyond 'you must forward this'.

Into awesome lesbian historical drama? I offer my personal money back guarantee you’ll love The Needfire.

Words like 'just' and 'only' do some heavy lifting in general, but this might be the most audacious use yet.

Possibly the best feature of BlueSky.

In accessibility settings, you can turn on the option to not let you post an image without alt text.

Alt text is so important but even the best of us can forget, in a hurry.

(Thanks @glasgalf.bsky.social for the tip)
