hey glasgow (and nearby) pals this event is really important and it would mean a lot to me if you'd go along lgbtqia+ people are having a Bad Time in politics rn and it would be good to have a chance to hold our future electeds to account/show we're a voting bloc www.outsavvy.com/event/34229/...

got covid lol

looks like an interesting and important hustings given all the chat lately about data centres in scotland - and our very own @blench.bsky.social is one of the candidates! nationalconversations.org/events/1/

sorry but sotomayor and kagan are trash for this one

Today is the final day to have your voice heard in a Scot Gov consultation on school's buildings regulations. Respond today & make sure the Govt understands what is needed to make sure that every single pupil can be safe, supported & included at school. www.scottishtrans.org/protect-tran...

you know, somehow the scottish government manages to avoid doctors strikes by negotiating in good faith, even with its limited budget has starmer tried that?

god i just went and looked at their insta post and it is so so bad glasgow is absolutely teeming with queer artists and this is what they do? genuinely shameful

👇right there in black and white - Labour are relying on people not voting SNP on the list in Glasgow. That’s their path to Bute House. On 7 May, don’t risk First Minister Sarwar - make it Both VOTES SNP.

it's been literally 3 days since the press accused the snp of unfair, heated rhetoric for suggesting labour would do deals with reform

Our initial candidate list is now live, with a list of every major party candidate and whether they have signed up to our pledges. Minor parties and candidate statements to follow, together with filtering tools and "email you candidate" functions. endconversiontherapy.scot#/holyrood26/...

Regardless of your view on the bill, it's outrageous that Assisted Dying in England and Wales will fail, not because of a vote in the commons, but because it's been effectively filibustered by the Lord's. A small, unelected group of people blocking actual democratic consensus. It needs abolished.

it does have to stop raining eventually, right? like it can't keep up forever?

unbelievably unhinged right wing attack line against the concept of benefits from the bbc at the snp campaign launch this morning they've attacked the snp's record on ensuring people get the benefits they need by calling it creating state dependency

what the fuck its snowing in paisley

Westminster's culture warriors are coming for Scots and the SNP can't let them win. Thank you to @katiehagmann.bsky.social, @angusrobertson.bsky.social, @gary-bouse.bsky.social, @rossclarksnp.bsky.social and @robertfleslie.bsky.social for pledging to stand up for the LGBTQIA+ community as MSPs.

finally! i have two dvla-notifiable conditions and cannot/should not drive for me, reducing car-dependence and improving other forms of travel infrastructure are a disability issue

just found out you can get haggis sambusa in glasgow now i love how this city embraces every form of deep frying

spent some time with a baby last night and i gotta say, it is really good for the old brain worms

cathcart circle my beloved 😭

deleted my original post because i've realised the answer to my indignant 'how did this get published' is that he is, of course, a youtuber/podcaster his academic background is in marketing btw

alright scottish friends, does anyone know who runs this account? it keeps popping up on my feed because the otherwise at least interesting bylines account reposts it constantly but the claim that fully 1/3 of children age 5-17 in scotland aren't in school + ai graphics is doing my head in

There is not a step towards the normalisation of hatred and bigotry in the media that Shona Craven has not taken gleefully. Her influence is a hateful, dark stain on Scottish media.

one of the absolute pleasures of living in a multicultural neighbourhood is seeing everyone's amazing outfits and celebrations - it's just so joyous eid mubarak glasgow southside!

As ever, the important bit:

An important story from yours truly in @scotnational.bsky.social today. Children deserve a lot better than AI-generated books and teaching materials. www.thenational.scot/news/2594938...

been nearly a week since the viva now and honestly it feels really anticlimactic that it was only 90 minutes

chocolate milk and lisdexamfetamine is a perfectly cromulent breakfast

ok but that's just gorillaz

can report that maple leaf bakery very much deserved to win that best croissant in scotland award was so good i didn't even take a photo

viva in two hours 😬

hey so idk how many glasgow and nearby snp folk follow me here but this is a really important event and you should register for it www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1984621098...

This 18-year-old Afghan girl had offers from York and Reading – thanks to Shabana Mahmood, she will now never escape the Taliban | The Independent www.independent.co.uk/news/people/...

The explanation is that she’s a vindictive person and he’s a craven coward. They believe that cruelty is a vote winner.

shabana mahmood is so evil that *yvette cooper* is begging her to lighten up www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

it's almost like campaigning against this to win a handful of votes in aberdeen is both profoundly unserious and wildly unpopular

can everyone on here stop the conspiratorial chat about developers and fire obviously glasgow's had dodgy fires in abandoned buildings but this is not that! it was a busy, occupied building in the city centre you're just taking attention from the real scourge which was likely unsafe vapes

My hairdresser and friend opened her business last week. Tonight it burned to the ground. This is devastating. I’ve set up a fundraiser. If you haven’t done anything for international women’s day yet, here’s a chance to support a women-run business in need: www.paypal.com/pools/c/9nhn...

The fire on Union Street yesterday and overnight is absolutely devastating, a dark day for Glasgow. Central Station remains closed for the time being. I am hugely grateful to the emergency services who have worked throughout the night to contain the blaze and limit the damage.

this is genuinely so much worse than the art school even

ok but if as people are speculating this is a lithium fire caused by dodgy vapes we need a wide scale crackdown

hello Edinburgh farmers market 👀

god this is such a good description of the last cursed 18 years

the thing is this is true! i still know people who live in canadian cities who never lock their doors, when i lived there *i* never locked my door which did in fairness drive my at the time partner, who had moved there from the uk, absolutely mental

uh so my timeline has about the last six hours worth of posts and then just abruptly skips to five days ago?

why has instagram decided that my ads should all be for yassified hospital scrubs

sigh, the problem with scotland having such a good craft brewing scene is that i want to go to oban beer festival, but its on the same day as paisley beer festival

does anyone know what transcription/captioning services still use traditional machine learning/asr rather than llms?
