Scotland's "journalists" should be kept indoors by their owners to prevent them from annoying the rest of us....

So England bans Scotland from having DRS but lets Wales go ahead. Then announces DRS for England & NI. Leaving Scotland only nation in UK without one. FFS, people. How much longer are you going to accept this constant undermining of our interests by London?

End of January garden birds, lucky to have these visitors to my garden

Here's how the mind of a conspiracy theorist works: Graham Linehan once noticed that the people criticising him appeared to be quite eloquent. But that would mean they were intelligent, and that couldn't be!? So, he came up with the theory that they were using "Grammarly" to appear intelligent. 1/

Sorry I'm late for work, I followed this car for three hours.

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Hollywood is on fire , yet still deniers clutch at straws to blame this on anything other than the real problem– climate breakdown . I’m petitioning for a ban on fossil fuel ads to take the fight to the companies who continue to exploit our fragile planet petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Probably just me, but I'm struggling to remember any of the times Kemi Badenoch called for an inquiry into grooming gangs when she was Minister for Women and Equality.

I mean it’s sort of amazing that the incoming US President has basically said he’s going to declare war on Denmark, annex Canada and rename bits of the globe to his liking and broadcast news is just rolling with it like he’s delivered a sombre and thoughtful policy announcement. Absolute insanity.

Elon Musk is so crazy and stupid he has Liz Truss tweeting in complete agreement with him.

I’m so bored of this. Come & sit in a Crown Court. Read the inquiry reports. The majority of CSA in this country is committed by white British men. The problem is men. Where do you propose to deport men to, Jenrick? Educate boys on how to treat girls and stop batting for the votes of racists.

Pity Farage wasn’t asked about this - he should be forced to own it @bbclaurak.bsky.social @theneweuropean.bsky.social

The BBC needs to have a debate about whether Musk's outbursts should keep leading the news. This isn't about censoring or suppressing his views; it's about whether to amplify them. Most Brits aren't on X, they don't follow Musk & not every raving from a foreign plutocrat should set the news agenda

Wow: the next Bluesky update will give you a lethal electric shock the second you post a twitter screenshot

Here is Gisèle Pelicot's full statement outside the court. I share it in honour of her immense courage. ~AA

Today’s poem is called ‘The Good Old Days’.

Today’s fun word is “Backpfeifengesicht” (German). It means “a face that badly needs a slap.” We all know a few (or many) people who fit that description a little too well.

‘How much for the Coronation?! The Royals aren’t parasites, they’re vampires’ The bill is in for the King’s fancy dress parade. It cost a broken country a minimum £72m We’re not just being sucked dry, we’re total suckers putting up with this My Herald column www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

Made the mistake of watching the news tonight and this feels very apt.

I keep seeing this and it keeps getting truer and truer

King Charles is the equivalent of the Victorians who used to run workhouses with slave labour, but opened soup kitchens so a few less would starve to death. Except of course that he is far richer than any of those Victorian slave drivers ever were.

jake paul should make boxing history by fighting elon musk next

I'm a feminist who fights the Patriarchy, supports queer rights, and knows women deserve bodily autonomy— who also sews, cans pie filling, and makes from-scratch meals for her husband and kids. Like a TradWife, but without the crippling internalized misogyny and snuffed-out ambition.

Made this courgette wine in August 2023 and forgot about it until I found it last night at the back of the cupboard under the stairs. Smells very alcoholic… I’m scared 😅

I'm experimenting! I've set up a feed for Scottish Highlands and Islands News. You can follow it here, and send news using the #scothinews hashtag. Please do share to find the H&I contingent in the good place! bsky.app/profile/did:...

Spent the day tidying up the garden yesterday. This rose bush is very confused by the mild weather but bonus find on the tatties!

"All we can do is get the big soup pot out and head doon the caravan with aw the Sandras and smile when we think of Janey." What a beautiful tribute to Janey Godley 💔 www.theguardian.com/stage/2024/n...
