hmm, so according to the fake tube map, Walford East station is where Bromley-By-Bow is in real life, between Bow Road and West Ham on the District/H&C, BUT...

What’s happening in the US is starting to feel more like a hacking than an election, with Trump basically cast as the idiot who clicked on the phishing email that let the ransomware guys in. Struck by how crucial tech not politics reporters are to us understanding it
