While the DfT are doing crap photoshops to announce a potential new office block in Derby, the Japanese are opening new railway lines and announcing them like this.

@garius @jeremybarraud NO IM NOT CRYING. ITS ALLERGIES!
@garius
Crikey, that was an intense experience I wasn't ready for.. (currently somewhere at the end of the first third of that line, age-wise)
@garius @jeremybarraud Never forget that Japanese rail companies got an entire Super Sentai season dedication to them
@garius the behind the scenes video is also interesting
@garius @jeremybarraud You aren't wrong about the tissues.
@garius @jeremybarraud Honest, good-faith question from someone who isn't & will never be a parent: Why do children growing up provoke such an emotional response in their parents?
I've Googled it & it seems that the primary emotion is loss but no-one discusses why that is. It seems to be one of those things that is so universally accepted that no-one feels the need to explore it deeper.
