For users of Apple devices, do you know about Shortcuts, which is built into OS? I have been starting to explore some easy ways to setup phone and email tasks. Then I spotted this Music quiz as an example. Didn’t realise they could be this complex. Any interesting examples to share?

I see the world has given up on subtle metaphors now
Negotiations at the Cop30 climate conference in Brazil were halted after a fire broke out in one of the conference venues.

Thousands of people were evacuated on Thursday after the blaze in a pavilion, with videos showing people running and shouting: “It’s a fire, get out”

Went to Hoo Zoo the other day - which included a meerkat encounter, which came with a surprise bonus if meeting Tim the porcupine ❤️

🎉 Happy Flux Capacitor Day! On this day in Back to the Future film history (5th November 1955), Doc Emmett Brown had the idea for the Flux Capacitor.

The UK will be marking this day with fireworks across the land this evening*.

Cheeky Haggis tonight. If you haven’t had a haggis in a while, a cold, wet, windy November night is a good excuse. Tasty.

Great Scott! The restored 40th anniversary print of Back to the Future is an absolute treat. Watched it tonight at Commodore Cinema. The film moves at pace. I don’t think there is a wasted scene. Great script, excellent performances from the cast and the music pops. Seek this out at the cinema. 🍿🎥🎞️
