4 mins in and I'm already sick of the commentary

everyone seems to be responding positively to this and i hate to burst anyone's bubble, but i recently went to a Luddite festival in NYC and this is something organizers specifically warned about: don't let capitalists sell your hatred of capitalism back to you

BBC3 airing the final episodes of I Kissed a Girl, which they cancelled due to budget cuts, the same day the corporation confirms they’re paying Stephen Nolan £425k a year is a level of not-funny I haven’t seen on this channel since Horne and Corden

J. K. Rowling posting an upskirt photo of a trans woman and then claiming she was "asking for it" because of the way she was dressed... you'd get laughed out of the writer's room if you tried to do it in an Armando Ianucci show.

At one end of the pitch, England flag England flag England flag England flag. At the other end, Norway flag Norway flag Scotland flag Norway flag.

“(Researchers) found surface temperatures increased by an average of 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit after a data center started operations…Strikingly, the impacts weren’t limited to a data center’s immediate surroundings; temperature increases affected areas up to 6.2 miles away.”

Big shout out to the Spain anal flag

Delighted to be part of this video with the National Galleries of Scotland (@nationalgalleries.bsky.social) discussing and dissecting the Monarch of the Glen, with an excerpt of a #gàidhlig poem I wrote about it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oq_L...

I will say, having now seen Children of Men, the first Last of Us game feels wayyyy less original. Not that unoriginal = bad, it's just changed how I think of it. Like when you read le Guin and realise how much fantasy writers of the past couple decades have been using her ideas.

'What is that thing? Are those...feathers?' This summer, you'd better HOPE it doesn't find you... 'Oh god. It never stops... ...at all.'

Do you think, if either of those fouls on Egypt players before the 3rd Argentine goal had been outside the box, it'd get called back like the disallowed Egypt one? Was it that they weren't enough for a penalty specifically?

It's kinda funny Ally McCoist has looked at that foul 5 times and still not noticed he's standing on the guys foot lol

Saying you're the "most physically attacked" MP when two MPs have been killed in the last decade is just horribly self-absorbed.

Saying the quiet part out loud here aren't we Nige?

Absolutely heroic performance by Cabo Verde, truly phenomenal stuff

Just a reminder. I'm always surprised how many people aren't aware of this. #Libraries

The PS5 is the first Sony console I've bought. Sony are doing their darndest to make sure it's the last. #gaming

Sony: we are getting rid of game discs forever fuck you Microsoft: our next console cant even read game discs fuck you Nintendo: Samus is BACK and BOY, is she HUNGRY

*second act reprise in a minor key* No Scotland. No party.

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!

Glaschu a-nochd #Gàidhlig

Lara Croft GO, an excellent Tomb Raider puzzle gem, is currently 9p(!!!) on the Google Play store #gaming

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

The #gaming console companies Nintendo: F*ck you, we do what we want. Sony: F*ck you, we're making so much money. Xbox: F*ck you, we're making no money.

Tuesday night in Glasgow, come and hear some bilingual Gaelic and English poetry from the new pamphlet, along with some translations, and maybe a sneak peek at the novel I've been working on...! An Lòchran, 7pm #gàidhlig #poetry

But that is exactly how the suffragettes operated. With a nationwide organisation of sleeper cells of arsonists and bombers. I’m gratefully people have reached out and referenced my work today. I remain (I believe) the only academic expert on the terrorism of the suffragettes. Links below:

She was murdered by fellow school kids and the internet was her social lifeline. It's so appalling the distortion happening here.

A judge has sentenced the Filton 4 as terrorists, behind the back of the jury, who only ever considered charges of criminal damage. This grotesque distortion of the law tightens the screws on the public’s right to protest, placing even more limits on our freedom to fight injustice.

@strongmisgiving.bsky.social Pen name of yours?

This would happen on the BBC in the 80s & 90s: the subtitles were for whatever was showing in London, regardless of what was on in Scotland. I saw an episode of the Gaelic soap MACHAIR with Ceefax subtitles for Star Trek: TNG. Old Mrs MacIver, worrying about Romulan manoeuvres near the Neutral Zone

Happy Pride my loves! If you want to read Strawberries in Gaelic, a reminder you can see my Edwin Morgan translations over on the @edmorgantrust.bsky.social website: edwinmorgantrust.com/2021/03/22/r... #gàidhlig #pròis

Air bhioran! Cannot wait to launch my new poetry pamphlet at Lighthouse Books with Catherine Wilson Garry. Bilingual night, with new #Gàidhlig poetry! Love is Queer @lighthousebks.bsky.social, Edinburgh 7PM Thursday 26th March lighthousebookshop.com/events/love-... #poetry #scotlit #queer

All the Hamnet chat is making me feel more vindicated in my long-held argument that Jessie Buckley should be the Poison Ivy to Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn

That MSPs are now openly saying stuff like this is chilling. "Controversial groups like LGBT Youth Scotland"? LGBTYS didn't need to be in my schools for me to be gay, but they sure as hell would have helped me avoid 9 years of fear and self-loathing if they had been. Despicable stuff.

Whoever they are, we have to believe that they were bullied in High School. That's it. That's the one condition for being believable in an X-Men movie IMO. You can be hot now, but we still have to believe you were a weird kid who got bullied for it.

Reminder: Scotland doesn’t have any Reform MPs or MSPs. But there’s a Reform councillor appearing on Question Time 👍
