Earlier today I spoke to Daniel Whitehorn, who as well as stepping up with some goals for Strathspey Thistle this year, has been performing the role of club chaplain! He shared some inspiring words about the importance of having someone who will listen: www.strathspey-herald.co.uk/sport/strath...

Strathspey Thistle striker Daniel Whitehorn has committed to another year with the club – and is aiming to hit double figures in front of goal next season. The 30-year-old forward, who also serves as the club’s chaplain, has become a key presence both on and off the pitch at Seafield Park.

This is the story of the Englishman who founded AC Milan — and the people keeping his legacy alive. Herbert Kilpin’s story was relatively obscure until a dedicated group of people brought it back to the fore. @nickmiller79.bsky.social on his & their story.

If you open one link today, take a moment to read Rachel Smart's opinion piece in the Courier as she reflects on her time as a support worker during Covid. Harrowing and heart-wrenching barely describe it. www.inverness-courier.co.uk/news/opinion...

Good to see trove.scot finally launched! Although, the press release says it ‘unlocks 5000 years of History’ which seems to sell itself short. Missing at least another 7000 years of the human story in Scotland! www.historicenvironment.scot/about-us/new...

Disney+ app design team if you are listening. I don’t want films similar to the one the kids just watched, I want the one they just watched, over and over until I’m sickened of it.

With every second worldwide news piece covering Trump or Musk, do you feel yourself subconsciously shying away from reading the news in general?

So, one for anyone who follows me and happens to see this. The initial Bluesky burst on the back of the US election has undoubtedly created something cool here - but has the buzz tapered off? I have over 2500 followers here - but how many are still active and engaging with others?

It only took me 32 years but I finally got round to becoming a blood donor, and I'm so happy that I got this opportunity through our #GiveBloodSaveLives campaign. Super chuffed to have joined the blood donors club ❤️ www.inverness-courier.co.uk/news/i-hones...

It’s the small pleasures in life. Great time at Aberdeen Comic Con on Sunday, meeting my fair share of legends.

Watching Trump and his VP sit there and browbeat another nation’s leader in front of the world was something else. When did we become so comfortable with this that it’s just another day?

Fearless and independent investigative journalism is needed more than ever in these times. Attempts to suppress this story on Trump and the KGB demonstrate this ⬇️ To help fund the stories you won't read in the established press, and to keep honesty alive, subscribe: subscribe.bylinetimes.com

Should heading the ball be banned in football? Football-daft Thurso man Brian Mackay thinks so. He is calling for a ban at all levels of the sport amid a fundraising drive to support dementia research.
