You have to understand that they do not and will not ever play ‘fair’. They will distort reality in whatever way suits them. Their side are martyrs and anyone else killed by their thugs is just collateral.

Maeda looking really pissed off as he scores his goal. There's a man who wants to leave.

Cool noisy protest in Glasgow #Iran

In today’s “this is an actual headline not a joke” i present:

ICE is claiming that the officer feared that Renee Good was about to seriously injure or kill him at this moment.

1.5 TRILLION. That's the military budget they want for 2027. We already spend more than the next 20 countries put together. So in the past week we've invaded a sovereign nation and murdered a woman in cold blood on the streets of Minnesota, and now they want 50% more money for weapons. Fuck.

Make it viral.

Trump’s nuclear arsenal sitting 40 miles or so from my house in #Glasgow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 If he invades #Greenland & NATO falls apart….will Westminster 🇬🇧 tell the aggressor to pack up his apocalyptic weapons & leave Scotland ?

The year is 2035. You eagerly await this year's Avengers sequel since it's the only movie produced. This installment is seven hours and includes a post-credit scene of AI Stan Lee dancing with Charlie Kirk. The film is dedicated to the Saudi royal family and tickets cost $300.

OMG, the opening few paragraphs.... www.theguardian.com/news/2026/ja...

Word. A long and detailed read, but sure you're just scrolling and not taking anything in anyway. Stop and chew on @bellacaledonia.bsky.social bellacaledonia.org.uk/2026/01/06/s...

TwiXter is full of sludge and bile, but Bluesky is kinda...flat. Needs more big companies and broadcasters. Needs more sport. Not posting on X, but I do creep back on to look at it.

Couldn't have said it any better myself.

Johnny Kenny better knock in 5 in the second half. It’s better from Celtic though

When the Pesto Drought commences, I will be laughing and not counting the Pennes. £43k worth I reckon

Very poor from Celtic today. The two teams looked to be on the same level. But can’t but feel this team needs gutted. Will still give Nancy time

Food isn't real "encased in a milk chocolate flavoured coating"

This is obscene. That others in politics can’t or won’t say that this is obscene hits at the heart of the problems we face. We are the 99.999%. Tax the super rich. Join.greenparty.org.uk

A wee bit I wrote about the hammerblow of watching people from the country that gave us the Glasgow girls and Kenmure Street turn to the right. And about the opportunism of Farage as he heads north. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This wildly tacky World Cup draw is a grimly fascinating preview of what happens if the aesthetics of fascism finally get their way.

This is beyond dismal. #Fifeworldcup

Man, @fifaclubworldcup.bsky.social has to change. The people who run football, are hideous self centred morons.
