🚨BREAKING The Scottish Government has announced it's cancelling Scotland's new National Park in Galloway. This is devastating news for the local community and nature, slamming the door on the new investment and powers it would have brought. A betrayal of people and planet.

There's the line in Withnail & I where Danny says "They're selling hippie wigs in Woolworths, man". Its a perfect lyrical encapsulation of something ending.

Loving how linkedin has devalued job descriptions and let everyone describe themselves as whatever they like so I can search for a job as Senior Business Analyst and get shown positions for Junior Product Manager Coffee Solutions.

From The Glasgow Wrap. Interesting contrast between how the top group and bottom group are treated, regarding flags and incitement to violence.

The current Housing Bill is a watershed moment in the Scottish Parliament. However, it must go further to tackle the vast inequality gap that we see between the rich and the vulnerable in Fife. The Scottish Government must listen to us and act boldly to stop the hollowing out of our communities.

Reverberate Opinion (on Trance Europe Express 2, I think) was my introduction to Hardfloor and to the album Respect, but Mahogany Roots was the jewel on the second side of that album. Some of the maddest noises ever made.

That glowsticks level in Apple Arcade Katamari is absolutely fantastic, my favourite Katamari level since whichever one had a Hardfloor remix as soundtrack.

🦩The #FlamingoLand decision isn’t set in stone yet. Until it is, Scottish Government ministers have the power to change the decision. That’s why we need as many people as possible to write to Planning Minister Ivan McKee, telling him he needs to act now. Add your name: greens.scot/LochLomond

40 years ago, Ocean was advertising Street Hawk, the official video game of the TV show. Unfortunately, the show only lasted 14 episodes. Even more unfortunately, the game took 18 months to arrive. And more unfortunately still, it was really, really bad.

Surprisingly few people remember the Fellfoul computer game, released in 1984 for the ZX Spectrum 48K. The copy we have was salvaged from a landfill site in Port Clarence, and it was three months before we managed to play it without getting "R Tape loading error, 0:1".
