Today is the 50th Anniversary of the movie JAWS which was originally released on the 20th June 1975. #Jaws50 It's also your occasional reminder that Robert Shaw who played Quint in the movie, grew up and went to school in Stromness #Orkney where his father was the local doctor. 🦈

When Trump finally dies there will be calls for civility and “respect for the office” from even his harshest critics and I’m telling you right now I plan on saying things so harsh they might knock the earth off its axis

If you've never seen this, treat yourself... one of the best one-off supernatural stories ever broadcast. Scared the pants off 14 year old me first time around and has been a huge influence on my writing.

Via ABC News's Rachel Scott, let's never forget for a minute what a classless scumbag the President is. x.com/rachelvscott...

So the guy who can singlehandedly set US tariffs on smartphones is launching his own US smartphone company do I have that right

Juvenile Peregrine 34R at the doors of the Gilbert Scott building at University of Glasgow. He was grounded this time last week but was quickly rescued and returned to the tower. #birds

Some detail of juvenile Peregrine 34R at University of Glasgow, taken while a licensed handler was working with the grounded bird last weekend. Nictitating membrane over the eyes; still some down showing on the back; the fierce claws; his hooked beak and tongue. #birds

Our military deserves better than this empty charade. Yikes. The tank squeaking over silence is incredible.

James Hutton (1726–1797), father of modern #Geology, was born #OTD, 14 June (NS/3 June OS). One of the first Western proponents of “deep time”, his memorable phrase “we find no vestige of a beginning,—no prospect of an end” has been called one of the most lyrical sentences in all science #C18th 1/3

The neighborhood is getting ready for tomorrow

Today’s news has me once again thinking about the time Mike Love was driven half mad by someone in the audience eating nachos.

RIP to Brian Wilson, who gave us many perfect albums but also the perfect interview

“Los Angeles descends into a moment of nervous silence as the curfew begins & troops keep watch over the people’s most sacred gathering spots… but with the rebels scurrying through the streets, how long can Ghoram stay quiet and will the Emperor have the city pacified before the Olympics next sol?”

Drama at Kelvinbridge in Glasgow. Mother Goosander and her chicks head up river but the Kelvin is high and fast after rain. Hungry Heron waits. Heron attacks, inches away from grabbing one of the chicks... eventually two other Goosanders mob Heron and the family passes by safely, this time.

i'm starting to see some scoldy posts pointing out that we are laughing about a fire on the deck of our sinking ship and i have to be honest once the ship started sinking i decided i would take the laughs where i found them

As you may know, I have stopped using Twitter, and have decided to reproduce some of my more memorable threads here for posterity. Here’s one I hold wrote after a particularly engaging swordfighting lesson. Buckle up, swordfighting fans, because I *have* studied my Agrippa! [BIG ASS THREAD]

This made me chuckle this morning...

The full Glastonbury lineup has been announced and the festival has really gone downhill. I’m old enough to remember seeing Frank Sinatra headlining the pyramid stage. He wasn’t there, but that’s how good the acid was in those days.

All glory to General Judi and her coterie of brave resistance fighters; may the blood of their enemies fertilize the greenery of North Yorkshire

I don't know if there is a more appropriate goodbye to Loretta Swit, than her last scene in MASH in the series finale. Loretta won two Emmy's for her role as Major Houlihan.

Ballroom Blitz is the only song where the singer checks if the other band members are ready before the song starts. He makes every other singer look like a thoughtless pig

You can’t make this up. Republicans snuck a “tanning bed tax break” in their bill—the same bill that’s going to make hospitals go under and take away hospital beds. They’re too ashamed to even say it, too.

On May 18, 1980, Richard Lasher got up early to get some photos at Spirit Lake. Instead, he was forced to stop because of the massive, explosive Mount St. Helens eruption and captured this iconic photo with his own red Ford Pinto on the road. 🧪⚒️ #OTD www.hemmings.com/stories/mt-s...

Oh this one is worse than the usual one, because lots of lawyers, plus the judge *told* them there were hallucinations, and they resubmitted the brief with hallucinations.

Four years ago we saw a community unite to peacefully protect their neighbours from detention. This week we saw Prime Minister Keir Starmer mimicking Enoch Powell with speeches that vilify and scapegoat. Scotland must be the party of Kenmure Street, not Downing Street.

This is amazing. Also Mike has a great newsletter you should sign up for.

The orcas now have a pretty impressive Air Force.
