Our local council sent us a PDF with a URL and a QR code in it. The URL wasn't clickable, my computer doesn't know how to handle QR codes, and my phone was in another room.

Rather than walk to the other room, I created johnsy.com/QRTY/ .

For a pilot study in 2022, scientists fitted 5 Australian magpies with tiny trackers that could only be removed with a magnet or scissors. Within 10 minutes, a female had successfully removed the tracker from a younger bird, and 3 days later, all of them had been removed.

Farage wanting to kick people out of the country because they migrated here made me angry and made me think about which best of British people and things wouldn't have happened were it not for the brilliance of immigration to the UK.
