Todays hero

Current mood

Heroin addict and steroid abuser wants the rest of us to to make as smart decisions about our health as he has.

Portuguese international footballer Joana Marchão who’s in the team that has qualified for the Euros & also drew with England last night, told the far right Mayor of her city who was praising her using ethnic nationalism to shove it!! “I won’t be associated with your crap”👏🏻💪🏻🇵🇹

Marvellous years! It was fantastic! Simple as that. ❤️

#Portugal #Covid Entrevista com a antiga DG de Saude #GracaFreitas. “....a vida funcionou” e a população tem de se “orgulhar imenso disso" ".....mas desistir “nunca foi opção”. Impressionante! www.noticiasdecoimbra.pt/proxima-pand...

'The Mither Tongue' is fascinating and enriching read.

💪🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Well worth a read on disputing Trump's lies on Ukraine:

This could explain a lot.

The Salutation Hotel in Perth has always be an iconic venue in the history of modern Scottish nationalism, so it will be an honour to address the good folk of the Yes Hub there. Hope you can join me at an Evening With Billy Kay www.eventbrite.com/e/a-evening-...

I wish I could tell you that my books are available in your local bookshop, but they rarely are. It has been almost impossible to get bookshops to take books in Scots from a small publisher. But you can get them all here, or from me via www.billykay.scot www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Billy...

People i know who had a Tesla have sold them. Nobody wants a Tesla now

The Led by Donkeys guys are doing a talk on practicalities of how they project their messages on buildings. Please @thesnp.bsky.social send someone, because we desperately need same to rebut MSM/WM lies about Scotland and get the truth about Indy out there www.facebook.com/share/p/1KJw...

This is like opposing a joint resolution declaring that the Sun sets in the West America doesn’t just look like an idiot here, we look like goddamn Flat Earthers

This is a poor headline from the BBC. The US aren't offering a "deal" - they want the minerals in return for support already given. It's straight up extortion.

They are deliberately crossing the red lines, in order to make the unacceptable commonplace and, eventually, acceptable again.

We are living in the new Dark Ages, but instead of keeping a light on for humanity, decency, and compassion, Starmer, Sarwar and the Labour party are vying with the Tories to help Nigel Farage snuff out the remaining candles.

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

Today's front page of The New York Post.

Looking forward to this one. paisleybookfestival.com/programme/fr...

Excellent news! Keep it coming!

Tomorrow's front page 🗞️ 'This is an act of sabotage'

Thoroughly enjoyed the ASLS lecture by the amazing @poncarova.bsky.sociyestreen. Petra is a Scots & Gaelic speaker from the Czech Republic, and her talk was on links between the poets in both languages last century. Braw.

Abe Lincoln!

Grangemouth is a private company we can't intervene. Thames water is a private company have three billion pounds... Wake up Scotland 👇🏻

Watching part one of Zero Day and Robert De Niro is playing out the myth of America and how an American President should be. It's galling, given the current situation, as the real America is being trashed by the liars, cheats and criminals (34 counts) who love Putin and betray the rest of the world.

Unbelievable ..... .

Fantastic interview now on the TNT Show...

Today, I'm proudly wearing the tartan scarf of the @scotrefugeecouncil.bsky.social . This beautiful tartan symbolises Scotland's diversity. Refugees are protected by international law to safeguard people from persecution. E.g Einstein, Freud, Trotsky and Isabel Allende were distinguished refugees.

Be not afraid The UK’s GDP is 50% bigger than Russia’s and GDP per capita three times as great (as with most EU countries). The economic power of the EU alone (without the UK) is EIGHT times larger than Russia. The EU is a superpower. Russia is not. And should not be treated like one

True. Ukraine is the REAL land of the brave. #SlavaUkraini

So the Boy from Pretoria is now also hitting Poland & Ukraine!! 🙄🙄😵‍💫😵‍💫 bbc.com/news/article...

BREAKING: Massive protest rallies are happening today across the country, blasting DOGE and the guy that nobody voted for. There will even be a protest at SpaceX headquarters. SPREAD THE WORD. 🙏💪

I'm genuinely angry at the people who have enabled Trumplethinskin, Space Karen and the Project 2025 architects by voting for this ongoing catastrophic maladministration. He seems to be desperately poking Zelensky, looking for a reaction they can retaliate against by withdrawing aid to Ukraine.

With Starmer and Macron going to DC together, it's certainly a small ray of sunshine.

Unapologetically. ✊🇪🇺

The planned closure of Grangemouth refinery (financially encouraged by the UK Government) is a direct betrayal not just to the Grangemouth workers but it is also a betrayal to Scotland’s energy security. 👇🏻
