Steven Naismith has reflected on his spell as Hearts boss, as well as looking ahead to playing a key role at the World Cup. “I loved being a manager. I enjoyed the intensity of it."

So sad. We see a lot of people vaping at the football. Many of them are very young. #MedSky #PublicHealth www.lbc.co.uk/article/yout...

Pete Hegseth: "We negotiate with bombs"

I think this is worth a share! Thank you, @fascinatorfun.bsky.social!

Omg, just a question on university challenge - which Scottish city is gorgie/dalry in? Sheffield answered Glasgow 🤣. You mean they hadn’t heard of the Gorgie! 🇱🇻🇱🇻

How Palantir, not Anthropic, led US bombs to kill 175 civilians, mostly 7-12yo girls, in a school in Minab, Iran on Feb 28. How embedding automation - not LLMs in this case, just image processing and sensor fusion - in military workflows mutes human judgment, causes errors, & diverts accountability.

Since losing to Rangers on 15 Feb, Hearts have increased their lead over both Rangers (+1pt) and Celtic (+5pts). This includes Celtic’s game in hand they won against Aberdeen.

Some thoughts on yesterday: - Devlin's energy is such an addition to the team. - Shankland makes us look much more dangerous in attack. - I underestimated what a difference both these players make to the team. - Altena is a pler. Should be getting more minutes than he is. - Dundee are pap

Tiny dinosaur colors.

Sex isn’t a neat binary. It’s chromosomes, hormones, and anatomy, all interacting in complex ways. Intersex people alone make up around 1.7% of the population. That’s not rare. That’s reality. Biology is more diverse than the boxes people try to force us into. tacc.org.uk/2026/03/22/s...

An American physician, now practising medicine in Canada has some useful reflections "In Canada, where people don’t fear bankruptcy for seeking care, patients come in and they just talk to you, about doctor things. That’s a profound relief, for them and me" canadahealthwatch.ca/2026/02/15/i...

In cooler countries like Scotland there's a tendency to think "nice and warm" when confronted with the prospect of temperatures above 40 °C. I can assure that, if you haven't experienced it, you'd be searching for shade within minutes. Without shade and water you'd soon be dead.

There's a lesson for Britain in Trump's America: it only takes one term of having really, really foolish people in charge to undo decades of trust and create problems that will linger on and on. (Even at their worst under Truss, the Tories were far less destructive than Trump has been for the USA.)

Not once does this story mention that offering a federal job in exchange for a political favor is a crime

Bedtime.

One week ago, we were just about to start running at The Kelpies! Fundraising remains open for a few days - I’m so touched and happy that so many of you have supported me. Link here: shorturl.at/SFcwZ

Just spoke to Al Jazeera about the Strait of Hormuz energy crisis. Damage to production facilities will take years to repair, further price spikes likely. Govts can subsidise bills short-term but the only lasting fix is ending fossil fuel dependence. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVqA...

We have to re-join Europe, invest in the national grid so we can switch to renewable energy, tax where there is wealth, re-nationalise our utilities, and invest in a national wealth fund. Right now we're just lurching from crisis to crisis.

2 points on Trump's media capture: 1. Fascists don’t need to turn all news outlets to their side. They win if major outlets are simply too weak to tell the truth about them. 2. Fascists don’t need to make you believe them. They win if they pollute the news so much that you don’t believe anything.

Just last year the world added enough solar and wind to be the equivalent of almost twice Qatar’s LNG output. And it will keep working without fuel for another quarter of a century.

Bafflingly there are still people out there in the world who think being passionate about nature is “kind of weird”. or “a niche interest”. These people have it all wrong. Nature isn’t some quirky sideline to the main business. It IS the main business.

For many years, the US government persuaded most of its own citizens - and many others - that its intentions and behaviour were benign, despite the perpetual wars, coups, murders, resource grabs, the ecocide and neocolonialism. If Trump has done one thing for us, it is to rip the mask away.

once again, I am begging channels to commission more dramas that are not focused around murder and or violence (appreciate this doesn't apply to ludwig, but it does small prophets, detectorists etc.)

NEW: This new report, from BBC, is the best takedown of the insanity of Trump you will see anywhere. Calm, coherent and repeating only Trump’s own words. Devastating. Brilliant work once again from Roz Atkins. (🎥 BBC News)

NEW: The BBC must have more Scottish voices, be clearer on devolved and reserved issues, and give Welsh and Gaelic equal status, MSPs have said in a damning report on the broadcaster

When I said some Reform supporters are racist, this is what I had in mind. I will always stand against those who try to divide us with hate. 👇

No, your artificial lawn is not a "life hack". It's another tiny nail in the planet's coffin.

Reform’s loud opposition to net zero is driven by “the success of populist messages around Brexit plus significant financial backing from the fossil fuel industry and climate sceptics” Not science. Not national interest. Not public opinion. Just personal greed. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

But they remember: Specifically, they remember that for 14 months, [Trump] tariffed them, mocked their security concerns, & repeatedly insulted them. As long ago as January 2020, Trump told several European officials that “if Europe is under attack, we will never come to help you & support you.”

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi's reaction as Trump says "Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Habour?" Undoubtedly the worst American diplomatic gaffe in post-war US-Japan history.

1/ The Chair of the UK Covid-19 Inquiry, Baroness Heather Hallett, has today published her third report.

I was delighted to discuss 'talking about dying' with @dralexispaton.bsky.social & Sir Bod Goddard for their #SickSociety podcast. Should we teach death education in schools? Do doctors fail to recognise dying? What's the impact of failing to explain dying? Is CPR over-rated? Listen in. Links ⬇️

"Caring for each other is a constant in all our lives… a prerequisite for us all being here, even in periods when we're healthy and self-sufficient. No one can exist without, at some point, being taken care of and treated as valuable by others. Caring is the work that makes all other work possible."

Remarkable story from Denmark's nat'l broadcaster. "When Danish soldiers were flown to Greenland in January...they brought explosives so they could destroy, among other things, the runways in Nuuk & Kangerlussuaq [to] prevent US mil aircraft from landing" www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

The question is no longer whether Israel pushed the USA into war, but whether or not the US still exerts any control over Israeli adventures.

Trump does not think strategically, historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. Allied leaders know that if they help him in the Gulf, he won't be grateful, or even remember www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Thank you @eu-technology.bsky.social! Is there any evidence that the glasses actually help people in real life, who are currently living with dementia? #MedSky #TechSky

These glasses are a huge delirium risk. In essence creating unreal aural and visual stimulation that requires the user to understand what those stimuli are. This will go the way of all other digital based "solutions" to the problem of providing human carers for people with dementia.

people always talk about how "small" Bluesky is, and honestly, Im okay with it. Ive never understood why it mattered. Im not on here to "grow" my following, its just somewhere to chat with interesting people, avoid the violent trolls on Twitter, and share history stuff and complain about gAI
