Val d'Oro Chip shop in Glasgow has nailed its colours to the mast. How you react is up to you, but you do have a right to take that into consideration in making your choice of who to give your business.

TEAM COCO!

What a lovely day!

These days you’ll get arrested and thrown in jail for praying in your own home. Sky box, PlayStation, the lot.

Truly shocked that anyone thought this wouldn’t happen

Apple News+ has a right wing rag problem. The two major paywalled newspapers it provides free access to in the UK are The Telegraph and The Times.

countering all my anxieties by getting back into Websites. I'm on the web. I've got a backwards hat on. I'm surfing on a mouse. I'm typing https:// . I'm telling everyone I meet: "it's wild, they have everything on there too, whatever you're interested in, there's a website for it". I'm alive.

Low effort icon :(

I don’t miss Twitter one bit, but due to the fantastic decisions made by its current leadership, not having an account means you can’t see tweets in chronological order. Which is a problem when it’s still the “public square” and I just want to get updates on when my water will be back on 🥲

this is truly despicable.

Eh, you're alright

We need more slides that look like this

The BBC gets a lot of stick but their achievements should be praised. 20+ million for two shows is a staggering achievement, especially for two different shows airing on the same day.

There’s a bit during Miley’s set at Glastonbury 2019 where she brings out Billy Ray Cyrus and Lil Nas X to perform Old Town Road, & Billy Ray very obviously misses his cue because his “vocals” can be heard clearly before he’s anywhere near the mic. Good to know things could’ve been much, much worse

trump 2.0 is so much grimmer. one of the leading newspapers in america is getting disemboweled by its craven billionaire owner, the other has set fire to its credibility by backing the democratic administration's bizarre obsession with caping for human rights violations

He doesn’t get nearly enough shit for how embarrassing this rebrand is

Every time I go to a fast food restaurant, I come home with a lot of extra salt sachets #anticapitalism

I am back on this platform to declare that monkey CGI was perfected for Planet of the Apes, slept on, and then triumphantly re-applied for the Robbie Williams film. Good!

in case you weren't familiar with why elon musk has a longstanding grudge against Wikipedia he hates what he cannot control slate.com/technology/2...

this feels like it should be a bigger scandal than it is

Did you know that after London, Glasgow has the best suburban rail network in the UK? But it's not without its issues. So today we’ve got rail expert @garethdennis.bsky.social to give us the good, bad, and ugly of the current system – and then redesign it. www.glasgowbell.co.uk/a-blueprint-...

100% - after the US election I asked myself why I was choosing to subject myself to so much toxicity. turns out you can just… not do that – and i’m so much happier for it!

apple - you own the service. you own the app. you own the operating system. MAKE APPLE MUSIC REPLAY NATIVE!

I can forgive Glasgow’s litter problem, this bin is only learning

Haigh resignation is depressing. The first resignation of this government should’ve been Streeting, later today, after the assisted dying vote.

Spot on. Comprehensive pedestrianisation should be far higher up the agenda in our cities than it is. Nearly wherever cars go, cities get worse. Nearly wherever they’re removed, those urban spaces flourish.

Any questions?

Love everyone thinking the BBC could get sign-off and launch something within a week.
