“They just don’t name ‘em like they used to”. Another great yarn by @brianklaas open.substack.com/pub/brianklaas…

I have written something that I suspect you'll enjoy about the evolution of stupidity, octopus intelligence, bumbling bank robbers who thought they were invisible, and the differences between the cognition of an average porpoise and Marjorie Taylor Greene: forkingpaths.co/p/the-evolutio…

When I got British citizenship a few weeks ago, we donned some novelty Union Jack birthday hats, and asked a passing woman to take our photo. She hesitated, frowned, looked suspiciously at us, then said: “You’re not with the Brexit Party are you?” A true welcome to Britain.
