“Long COVID is not a rare outcome of COVID, and one of the real threats we face with the SARS-COV-2 Forever-Reinfection strategy is the sheer volume of infections. Immunity to these infections lasts a matter of months & new variants evolve rapidly. We’re facing an unsustainable rate of re infection”

The US military has removed photos of the B-29 bomber “Enola Gay” — which dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan — apparently because it contains the word “gay,” which violates their new anti-DEI rules.

Looking forward to reading Ash Sarkar’s new book. It’s a relief that someone with the profile is finally calling out the fashionable idiocy of the Left’s divisive identity politics, which in sidelining social class has helped enable the far right. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Sad to see an English head teacher fail their Scottish O grade history exam. 'Ethnics' feel at easy identifying as Scottish because the government at Holyrood tells them they are welcome.

Today's events in Washington are a clear cause for deep concern, for shock, for anger. What we need now are cool heads and clear thinking. We must stand firm with our European allies in the steadfast defence of Ukraine. That is where Scotland stands. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦

If it looks easy, maybe you’re just not paying attention. Drystone walling taught me that. Writing and photography did too. And all three remind me: just because something looks effortless doesn’t mean it is. kristie-de-garis.ghost.io/the-effort-b... #Writing #Scotland #Photography #Craft

Ascog Hall Fernery Garden on the Isle of Bute is a rare Victorian fernery which houses many fern species and a 1000 year old King Fern. Built by Alexander Bannatyne Stewart in 1870, the sunken garden is carved out of the solid rock and covered with an ornate iron-framed glazed roof.
