If you’re reading this, it means my time machine has worked. I’m sending this newsletter from the distant, distant past, millions of years before the present day. Can you believe I still have service?

I’m surrounded by extinct creatures — Brachiosaurus, Quetzalcoatlas, and the famous Tyrannosaurus rex. To read more about my voyages in the past, hit the button below.

The Wrap

Ok, so I haven’t really been transported into the past — April Fool’s. Let this be your reminder to be extra vigilant today and apply a healthy level of skepticism to anything you see posted online.

On the flip side, if you see a particularly funny local April Fool’s joke posted on social media, we’d love to hear about it. Just DM us on Instagram or Facebook, or send a link in reply to this email.
