Today, 1st October, is the start of the pheasant shooting season. Some 50 million pheasants are released into the British countryside for this sport annually. If you have concerns about the impacts of this out-of-control industry, tell the government - handy guide below: bsky.app/profile/guys...

Be sure to use Al when making your next, I don't know, meal plan, for example. Definitely do not call your friend who loves to cook and ask her for her favorite recipes or tips or ways to save time making meals, because you will end
up talking for longer than you had hoped, hearing, perhaps, about her father's cancer diagnosis or how lonely she's been or even what she's planted in her spring garden and then lost with the early frost.
