Liz Truss resigned as Prime Minister.
She would've had to stay in office 76 more days to NOT be the shortest serving PM.
She lasted 3.9 Scaramuccis.

Personally I love Liz Truss. I thank her for her service of bringing the tories down and showing them for what they are, an incompetent bunch of arseholes. It takes skill to wilt faster than a head of lettuce

Ours does that too, but you take it home-to keep in your freezer, which is still a hard pass for me. Wait you keep what in your freezer? The ones I've gotten just have a photo and a digital image of their fingerprints They may have had a photo station to put them in the computer, but the DNA part would have been a swab with a sleeve. I didn’t get one, because I have trust issues and toddlers. This was back when ds2 was pretty new and ds1 was all over the place.

I'm cackling at the Liz Truss memes. Unrelated, I'm in Prague and saw this and thought some here may enjoy this very prominent display.

Arent McGruff fingerprinting kits still a thing? Pre-EndofDays/Covid, they used to have a 'child safety fair' or something at the mall and you could take your kid and get a fingerprint/photo/emergency contacts card for your kids.
My daycare used to send those kits home too without the blood thing.
The super interesting question I saw on Twitter regarding these kits is who chose the company that is distributing and who is profiting off it.
Our county PD is usually at all the touch-a-truck and county fair type things making photo and fingerprint cards but I've never been asked for DNA (and I would nope out so fast). I actually still have my child safety/McGruff form from about...40 years ago. We were fingerprinted, but hard no to DNA. I also refuse to do an ancestry DNA kit for tin hat reasons.

I've only read headlines and memes. Does this mean there might be elections in the UK or just within the party to replace the PM?

I was just wondering if this chaos would be enough to force new elections across the board.

I've always felt the same about Ancestry, but after one of my mom's cousins was contacted by a match that had been adopted as an infant (and it was another cousin, so the parents are still a mystery) I can't say there isn't some temptation 😬

Wow it pays to be PM, even for 44 days. Not a bad deal! Also, what?!?

I know they served longer but all our former presidents receive a pension of $200K+ annually plus SS protection and health benefits. It doesn't shock me that a PM would get benefits after they are done serving

I'm 99% sure I have a half sister, but I'm also not prepared to deal with the ramifications of that if it's true. 🫣

I just saw the calendar for the first time today! It's MVP's birthday!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 Happy Bday, MVP!!! It's such a popular day lol - I know a few people with birthdays today, plus it's my 10th wedding anniversary (and the anniversary of H's best friends and my cousin). Also, we're having our marriage officially blessed by the church this weekend (long story), so technically we're getting married again on Saturday
