We were robbed last night. When it’s our stock or our money that is targeted, there’s insurance and systems in place for this, but when it’s stealing from a charity in an extremely direct way then we just can’t abide it. scottishbooktrust.com/donate @scottishbooktrust.bsky.social

I shouldn’t share conspiracy accounts but I had a similar #banking experience. A few months ago I went to the bank to withdraw a few hundred pounds. I felt very uneasy at being asked what the money was for. Unbelievably, a couple weeks later, someone phoned me on my personal mobile (contd.)

Enjoy the solstice. After June 21st the days get shorter, the nights longer, our headlong descent into the howling abyss faster, and our prayers for a swift and merciful release louder and increasingly hysterical. Never mind, it'll soon be Christmas, if we last that long. Cheers!

I’d forgotten about this sundial Prince Albert had had erected in the Meadows, with its cautionary message for social media users. I passed it this morning.

Paris is transforming its landscape and climate by planting a large number of trees (native species) in the city to lower temperatures and improve rainwater runoff to reduce flooding and improve air quality in the city. This is the way intelligent humans change the cities they live in.

A friend recently told me he started every game as Black with 1…f5. I’ve been trying it this week & it’s been both interesting & successful. I mostly follow with 2…d5. (In response to the King’s pawn opening this is known as the Dutch Defence; and to 1. d4 the Fred Defence / Duras Gambit) #chess

Giddyup! On this day in 1878, motion pictures were born when photographer Eadweard Muybridge used 12 cameras to record a horse galloping to determine if all four horses's hooves left the ground. Judge for yourself. #moviesky #film #photography

A familiar looking chap walked past me on Grafton Street. Several seconds later, the penny dropped, and I realised I’d just seen Henry Kelly.

As @baldiepete.bsky.social says in the 🧵: “The most important person that most people have never heard of.” James Clerk Maxwell unified electricity & magnetism. It underpins most of our modern world. He stands between Newton & Einstein in the pantheon of mathematical-physicists geniuses.

The ripples from the Kinehan OCG etc now stretch from Russia to the Roseburn Path, via Tehran and Dublin, and since the attack in Albert Street in March, I’ve been slightly surprised that there’s been so little chatter about it on here. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
