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.

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

@0 @garius I definitely did not expect those were all DIFFERENT people, gosh they sure have a lot of lookalikes!

@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. 🤷‍♀️
