Local firework displays are in full swing and upsetting my cat. He hates fireworks - not because of the noise - he just can't stand the thought of people enjoying themselves.

Great Southern Road is open again for the first time since maybe like February?

Went for an eye test this morning and it turns out I don’t actually need a new prescription, everything really does just look like that now.

Good haar this morning

The king to prince andrew

Hang it in the Louvre

The real juice in The Traitors has always been that final moment

The royal society for the protection of birds scotland did not need to go this hard, and yet…

Had to leave work early and I’m just now hearing about a colleague who’s got themselves a fancy electric bike on the cycle to work scheme, and stacked it in the car park trying to show off on their way out the gate in front of loads of other colleagues. Going to plead for the CCTV footage tomorrow.

Bluesky rn

Ran 11k after work, but only because I set out to run 15k but got hungry and stopped to get a sandwich

28g (1oz) uranium contains ~20,000,000,000 kcal, making it an incredibly cost effective source of calories

Love how this reads like a LinkedIn post about the grindset mindset.

Caved in and updated to ios26, why does everything look like an android skin from a decade ago

So our class in the naval engineering school made up this rule where you couldn’t simply buy yourself a costume for the big Halloween sesh, but instead HAD to make one for someone else to wear.

This is what's needed

For Halloween I’m dressing up as a dead Fuji film stock (Yes we’re doing the same jokes again)

The office conspiracy theorist is defending (former) prince andrew.

Struggling to remember if it’s just the first week after the clocks go back that I come home ready to climb into bed, or if that’s every night until late March now

Who here among us…?

Irresponsibly posting my location on social media

someone referred to “The Substance” as “an A24 remake of The Nutty Professor” as an attempt to disparage it but I’m just like:

Wednesday evening

“Look at Ukraine. Look at Gaza. I haven’t changed a solitary thing. I mean it. I feel as if I’ve been riding on other people’s pain over the last 60 years, and their pain hasn’t helped prevent this kind of tragedy. We’ve learned nothing.” It makes him despair. Such an incredible photojournalist 🖤

Revealed: How much money did Aberdeen make from Tall Ships – and how many attended?

Got that Tuesday evening feeling again

Find yourself someone who loves you as much as architects in the early 2000s loved putting tacky blue LED accent lights on their buildings

Wounded: just looked at my wristwatch and thought it was nearly knocking off time. Reader, what have I neglected to do since the clocks went back yesterday morning?

Transplanted a bigger boot drive into my editing PC and somehow didn’t kill it in the process

People say that it’s a shame there’s not an InternetOfShit account on here like in the old Twitter days, but in a post-enshittification world being a shitty connected device is no longer a weird Kickstarter-funded anomaly but the default configuration. Everything is shit, nothing is remarkably shit.

Montrose Playhouse is showing In The Mood For Love and One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest this week. Could we move Montrose like 30 miles closer to Aberdeen, just until the Belmont reopens, for a treat?

Set the day aside to finally clear the backlog of hol scans from summer. In the time it’s taken to get round to finishing these off, I’ve amassed another couple dozen that need developed. Really should get a better process in place… Olympus XA Fujifilm Eterna 250d (ECN2, expired) #believeinfilm

Oh, the grand old duke of york He ██████████████████ He ██████████████████ And he ██████████████████

My thoughts go out to the people of York who are currently dukeless

Assai Records top open new store in Aberdeen

Good evening weekday warriors, only one more hurdle to go until your weekend / nervous breakdown

Why’s the Aberdeen branch of the Vue cinema suddenly disappeared from the company’s website? 😬

Yeah ok nature, I’ll concede that’s a pretty good one.

We're heading to Aberdeen! 🗺️🎞️ National Library Live, on 8 November, is a free day of talks, stories & activities. Discover maps, film, treasures & more with us and Aberdeen City Libraries. #NationalLibraryLive #Aberdeen #NLS100

We take a brief break from sass to earnestly say more colorful graphics like this again, please

My mate tried this once with a goose that landed on ours in the far north, so fired off an email to a wildlife sanctuary asking for advice how to look after it; eventually got a reply back to the effect of “chuck it over the side and let god deal with it”.
