Millennial cliche with strong retired museum curator energy Lives for the memes. *Mass transit enthusiast*
The Co-Operative Party getting it's first Prime Minister, 99 years after entering a permanent electoral pact with the Labour Party

Posting this because this was surreal enough when he was Mayor of Greater Manchester, but is now a whole new level of surreal as the incoming PM, and also because I don't think it lasts 5 mins once cabinet office staffers are running his social media lol
I do not *routinely* use GenAI on principle but to highlight the absurdity I had an AI generate an image of a BBC journalist attempting to use AI to detect of an image is AI generated *Inception bwoooong noise* LaughCry.gif
Apropos of the food chat on my timeline this evening, it is blowing my mind that *M&S* is now selling mini Dosa. Multiculturalism through food is ace

*uses time machine to bursts into room in Nov 2024* "South Korea's president will attempt a coup after getting brainrot from YouTube conspiracy videos" "Trump will be charmed by the socialist mayor of NYC" "The Pope is from Chicago" "Kier Starmer will be less popular than the last days of Sunak"
Conveniently, whilst Josh may have no idea (fair enough, it's not front page news), we have objective data on this too, courtesy of @jburnmurdoch.ft.com's FT column in 2023. No other major advanced economy loses as many medics to overseas practice as the UK, including anglophone peers
