- There is literally no way this will not turn out to be racist.Artificial intelligence (AI) and face recognition technology is being used for the first time in job interviews in the UK to identify the best candidates. telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/09/2…
- If only there was a moderate-coded, extremely good communicator who is both good on Fox News and has a backstory that could mobilise liberals, who could be parachuted in at the convention.
- The epidemiologists breath a sigh of relief as everyone on Twitter transforms into an oil economist instead.
- Lex Luthor realises he can’t physically out-match Superman, so instead uses a disinformation campaign to destroy not just Superman’s reputation, but the *idea* of Superman. The twist is that it isn’t Superman that can beat Luthor… It’s journalist Clark Kent.DC Films still doesn’t know what to do with Superman, the studio reportedly is unsure how to make the character “relevant to modern audiences” on.forbes.com/60171u5Pc

Dems want to greatly raise taxes for really bad and non-personal medical care. No thanks!
- It appears that TfL has published the latest figures for how much different embassies owe in Congestion Charge payments. America owes Britain £14m. Togo owes us £40.

- She'll come back at a critical moment as Sue White.Confirmation from sources now that Sue Gray is resigning
- At some point the world needs to agree the norm of leaders taking their spouses to important business meetings is weird.The first duty of my government is to keep our country safe. I look forward to meeting the UK’s closest allies at the #NATOSummit in Washington D.C. tomorrow.
