Just wait til you see the other guy!

Exchanging photos with colleagues of pets 'helping' us whilst we are home working. I sent her a picture of my pussy and she sent me a picture of her snake. As long as it is that way round we don't have to involve HR

Found an interesting one today. This is my 4x great uncle. He was in the military for most of his life and even fought in WW1, one of his eyes is an odd colour so he might've been blinded at some point during his time in the army.

Having said that, two near-octogenarians (and a third one having just been inched out) fighting for control of a country is not a good look. Looks like the final days of a crumbling Eastern Bloc state.

Will be releasing a memoir on July 21, the day before his 80th birthday. https://people.com/tv/alex-trebek-set-to-publish-an-inspiring-memoir-amid-fight-against-pancreatic-cancer/

Biden is going to win, at least because of two fundamental reasons: He's more liked than Clinton (sexism, but also her just being her) and Trump hasn't done anything to expand his base - even though he basically just won on technicalities. There's no state where Trump is more popular now than he was 4 years ago. If he's going to win votes in comparison to 2016, it has to be state demographics or other fundamentals moving in his favor, for example, Ohio and Iowa becoming redder, voter suppression in Wisconsin and Florida or something like that. In short, Trump is not going to win any state he lost 4 years ago. But the Democrats are going to move hard in Arizona and North Carolina. Michigan has a well-liked democratic governor and is hardly regarded as a swing state this time (polling consensus is "lean Dem"). And that's basically it. From the 2016 map, I'd already give Arizona and Michigan to Biden, who then just needs to win one of the other battleground states: Pennsylvania (good possibility), Wisconsin (50:50 - or better, having just witnessed the election there), North Carolina (where the Dems are going to win the Senate and gubernatorial race), Florida (De Santis is turning into a catastrophe), Ohio, or Georgia. The latter being less than 50% chances. And then there are the dream states Iowa and Texas. Edit: Funnily, if Biden wins all of the above bar Texas, but Nebraska's 2nd (?) and all of Maine, he'll get the 375 electoral votes Obama got in 2008.

Michael Rosen moves from ICU after 2 weeks but according to twitter is still rather poorly.

It isn't only links.

Trump

Deathers weighs in. Stop press.

Biden and Trump are old and not in the best of health,I wouldn't be surprised if one or both of them don't even make it to Nov. The 2020 Presidental election winner could end up being someone who didn't even run in the primary

Who would ever vote for Joe Biden? He looks like Sloth from Goonies. He looks like he had a stroke that the media is not reporting. No, I’m not making fun of people that have dementia.

Should be Biden but could be Trump because lots of thick people.

Who gives a fuck? America shmerica

As Willz is updating the MP masterlist, here is my promised update of surviving government members, now up to the fall of Thatcher in 1990, because she had fuckloads of folk still alive. Surviving members of the UK government from 1957-90. There's a lot of crossover between them, so I just listed them under their PM, with their year of birth and notable jobs for ease of access. Best job title is still "Comptroller of the Household", which sounds made up, but is apparently an important government dogsbody role.
