Today is the 40th anniversary of the deadly Chernobyl disaster.

Solomon built his temple by 'commanding demons', and he later married one. But wait - she was one of the Jebus Canaanite people who the Israelites called 'trampled ones' - and also referred to as demons. So she was an indigenous woman, and the temple built by the labour of men later branded demons.

No East India Company tea monopoly? No sugar exports? No need for slaves on sugar plantations? No surprise that a botanist friend of King George reclassified Yaupon tea as 'ilex vomitorium', the vomiting holly. Capitalist forces + negative advertising did the rest. www.facebook.com/share/v/1ArV...

Yaupon is another beneficial plant used by indigenous people for millennia - one with more antioxidants than blueberries, as much theobromin as chocolate, as much caffeine as green tea - and no tannins, meaning no bitter taste, no need for sugar. www.facebook.com/share/v/1ArV...

'Progress' without consent isn't progress. It's theft in a fancy suit. #IndigenousRights #WaterProtectors #Anishinaabe www.facebook.com/share/1ERcpN...

Who needs packaged holidays when you can go glamping, Scottish style! So many wee ones who wanted to grow up to be bus drivers would LOVE this place! Check out the video of the double decker sleeper bus in East Lothian... youtube.com/shorts/AIs6q...

These are just some of the American multibillion pharmaceutical and 'health care' corporations that are draining the bank accounts and lifeblood of millions. And these are exactly who Wes Streeting wants to open up our NHS to.

I invented a new cocktail: The Dubai Chocolate 🍫

Seen in Kyiv today. A car rally called “Our People Are Still Not Home.” Held in support of Ukrainian prisoners of war and missing soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

'Make your life a masterpiece'

I *knew* it!

The beautiful town of Sirolo in Le Marche lies south of Ancona, overlooking the Adriatic Sea.

Many people know the Conero region for its lush red wines, but it's also one of the most beautiful and least crowded parts of Italy. 🍷

Nemesis was the ancient Greek goddess of restorative justice. I may start paying obeisance to her if someone doesn't impeach the weapons grade clown soon.

Wha?! 🤯

I'm so happy that we're finally relaunching and reviving the historic sister city relationship between Edinburgh and Munich - it was our very first twinning!

Things we all know (or thought we did): You don't trust a serial child molester with your daughter You don't trust a raving megalomaniac with the nuclear launch codes You don't trust a guy who would sell his granny for a hefty bonus with your National Health Service.

Ca' canny when you hear Labour parrot 'statistics'. The only figures they're interested in are the ones on their bank balances - and how much increase they'll get if they manage to sell off our NHS to corporate donor chums.

Labour caught telling porkies again? Who'd have thought? 😠

Surprisingly decent of Louis Mosley, Palantir's UK supremo, to use his twitter account to help us promote our podcast about his employer. Thanks Louis! If you'd like to take up his invitation to listen you can do so here: goodlaw.social/c22b7d

His famous line 'To kill, or not to kill, that is the question' has often been mistranslated.

Spot on. Worringly.

The utility of nuclear weapons as a deterrent is a contentious issue. The utility of nuclear weapons which we can't afford and which don't work should not be, and the UK government should be honest about this with taxpayers.

Who knew this was the year when 'sanewash' would become part of our vocabulary?

This week marks the 83rd anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. We remember the courage of our ancestors in the face of their annihilation.

“Their main goal is not to scare us away. They're shooting to kill” Palestinian villager, Akram Abu Ali, who lives in the occupied West Bank witnessed Israeli settlers shoot and kill a boy who was trying to save his friend from being beaten. Read Theia Chatelle’s report: zeteo.com/p/israeli-se...

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened. Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah. (h/t @iainsol.bsky.social)

Defend the Defenders! Defend those who defend the defenceless! By sanctioning Francesca Albanese, 8 ICC judges, and Palestinian NGOs for providing evidence of US and Israeli war crimes – the US is assaulting International Justice. You can help! Sign the petition petition.qomon.org/0b54a0b8-dem...

In serious times, I offer serious leadership. I will cap essential food prices because people are struggling and it is the right thing to do. And I will stand firm against Nigel Farage and the far right. Vote SNP to lock Reform out of government in Scotland.

This is as disgusting as it is worrying. It seems Labour are happy to throw Ukrainian refugees under a bus if it means they can do an alliance with Reform. 😡

Ethnic cleansing used to be Israel's surreptitious policy. Today, it is Israel's in-our-face pride and joy. Time to ban Israel from every international organisation, like we banned Apartheid South Africa. Enough is enough! www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...
