I asked ChatGPT to generate images of typical supporters of different UK political parties. I will be repeating this exercise, using the same prompt, at regular intervals / when I remember, to see how things change - if at all.

Big day to be a fisheries historian (fishtorian). Big day.
When it comes to oily fish, the export market has always been the focus of British commerical fishing. Prior to the First World War, British fishing was dominated by the North Sea herring fishing; herring outweighed every other fish (1/?)

The odd thing about UK fisheries is that we export a lot of mackerel and import a lot of cod and haddock. When did this start? Once upon a time did we eat a lot of mackerel?

The White House has turned COVID.gov from a public health resource into a politically charged platform promoting the lab-leak theory and attacking specific scientists and the pandemic response in general. Let’s fact check its 5 headline claims… 🧵

In 2011, I visited the Holocaust Survivors Centre in London, the place where thin soup is never on the menu and bread rolls are available at all times www.theguardian.com/world/2011/m...

The Welsh told the Saxons this hill was called "pen" (meaning "hill"). The Saxons added their word for hill, "tor," and called it Torpen (hill hill).
Later the Norse added their world for hill. So it became Torpen Haugr (Hill Hill Hill).
Now the English call it Torpenhow Hill (Hill Hill Hill Hill)

The first time I ever travelled first class on a train, I was amazed that they had complimentary chocolate bars on the tables. I ate mine & then the man whose chair I was sat in came back & demanded to know why I had eaten his chocolate bar.
Mortified.

London please help. I’m praying for a miracle, I’ve just got into the office and noticed my mums locket (in all these photos) that I wear every day has fallen off my neck on my walk in. My mum died when I was seven and her jewellery is most of what I have of her. I’m devastated

My old boss did a lot of stupid things, like, proper crazy stuff, but the funniest was when he was on the roof of our shop and looked like he was about to leap the 6-foot gap to the roof of the neighbouring building.
I shouted, "Jim, don't be stupid, there's no way you'll make that jump!"

Another site, a bit musky, is full of people (many bots, tbf) parading near zero understanding of English law or of the convictions in respect of the last 10 days’ or so violence.
Nor does the US 1st Amendment mean what many (often Americans) seem to think.
Frustrated? Maybe this can help.
