Sunset Sky with the Clan… #weekendvibes #farming #croft #summer #GoodVibesOnly #sunset #StormHour #jefinuist #outerhebrides #Scotland

I'm sorry but when the protestors are more worried about the rain getting onto their phones (see the wee umbrellas), than they are about you as a threat, then you are done.

June 8, 1992: "Even Flow" from the legendary Pinkpop Fest performance.

One of the Swift eggs has hatched! Look at the Swift on the nest from the left of the adult's body at about 40 seconds in. With patience you will see the tiny Swiflet! @mrjamesob.bsky.social

NEW: An SNP candidate in the Scottish Borders has called out their Tory rival for marching 'in lockstep with a failed right-wing ideology'

"The next and final station will be Mike Oldfield's Toccata and Fugue with Brontosaurus legs.."

This man is an utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter cunt.

I had the privilege of screening this 75 minute documentary last night. It felt like I was sitting in a quiet room with @georgemonbiot.bsky.social for a master class in neoliberalism. Having read 'The Invisible Doctrine', this film reinforces how we can imagine a different story for ourselves.

"So Mr President, I've sorted the birthday cake, balloons, paper cups & plates. Let me know if you need anything else ordering!" "Massive thanks." "Okie dokie, I'm right on that!"

I'm getting Star Chamber vibes here.

The Israeli defense minister is openly threatening the life of GretaThunberg and other unarmed peace activists on an aid ship. Where the f**k are the world’s leaders? The world’s media?

A gay man, who died by suicide as a result of his sexuality, made one of the single biggest contributions to espionage and ending WW2 years earlier than would have otherwise been the case. Alan Turing is only one of hundreds of examples as to why the intelligence services should support Pride.

Pulp all look like teachers that lost their school pupils in a cave collapse in 1987.

You watch, Scotland will defy all expectations and somehow win their qualifying group, and then the World Cup will get cancelled because the US is in the middle of a civil war! 🤣⚽

Scotland had the worst poverty rate in Europe when I was a child. The fact that Scotland [now] has a lower poverty rate than any region of England!

This is actually a real problem for Trump. He won't be able to keep on top of every state where ICE raids are met with resistance. Before soon, there will be protests simply to draw out the troops, who will end up jumping between states. I can see those parade tanks never making it out of Washington

"Engels has been on fire for quite some time now.." Words you'd love to hear as a Celtic fan, not so much if you're Russian.

Well done these people!

Bernie Sanders on the Trump-Musk feud: "The story of what happened last week is you are living increasingly in an oligarchic society. Musk said to Trump, 'Listen, I bought $270m to get you elected. I bought you the presidency.'"

This is a good response after Thursday's result. #ScottishIndependence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Wait so is carrying a foreign flag the worst part, or attacking the police?

Okay, now swap the name Farage for Trump, and Scotland for California, and you don't have to imagine too much on top of that.

Wow! Sad to say but that wouldn't have last a year in Shetland without someone setting it on fire.

Jeremy Bowen's long, measured, objective, but ultimately entirely clear and conclusive essay on Israeli war crimes. As Jonathan Sumption puts it: "These things make genocide the most plausible explanation for what is now happening." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Who’s made the most appearances on the BBC? #bbclaurak

Her constituents "Whoa, don't make out like women in burqas are special."

Wake up babe! New 'popty ping' just dropped!

It's amazing how many completely dim 'Monarchist' dafties have no idea that WW1 was: two FIRST COUSINS, fighting against each other, using normal people, as cannon fodder. In 2025, The Royal Family are STILL laughing at the gullibilty of their 'subjects', treating them as 'objects'.

Israel have announced they will establish 22 new settlements in the occupied West Bank Last year the ICJ ruled that Israels occupation is unlawful & they must withdraw their troops & dismantle all settlements. States like the UK are obligated to take actions to make this happen
