News and notes from around the interweb:

• So, this happened: a kangaroo saw its cousin on the tail of a Qantas jet and stopped by for a chat.

• Wow. Big news for Apple AirTags, and for reuniting customers with mishandled bags.
  

  Absolutely huge news for people who have anxiety about losing their luggage.

  Not only is Apple integrating “Find My” with airlines directly, but the baggage-tracing system used by over 500 (!) airlines will start using this tech, too. AirTags are a must-have. pic.twitter.com/HHGSYHnNXS
