RIP Keith McIvor, one of the most consistently excellent DJs there ever was, from Pure to @optimo-espacio.bsky.social and everything inbetween. Got to speak with his partner in crime for the Skinny recently and it was clear how much they meant to one another… www.theskinny.co.uk/clubs/interv...

Ah Best Kebab, what a peculiar place; a sarbeni used to be a student loan payday treat after a night out. It was always fairly ropey, but what’s been happening recently is a shame - as reported by @robbiejourno.bsky.social www.glasgowbell.co.uk/best-kebab-t...

About to see a bunch of newspapers running photos of the shooter that look like this

Photojournalist Bill Biggart died when the second tower collapsed on him on 9/11, but the film he shot that day and his flash card were recovered from the debris and developed, along with his flash card. You can see his amazing photos of 9/11, the last photos he took while alive, here:

Who is this guy and what does he want? I fear I may be killing him - any advice welcome…

Two trials will be repeated endlessly despite always producing the same results: 1) Does UBI work? (yes) 2) Does AI improve productivity? (no)

Here's something a bit different. We've been reporting from Edinburgh to try to get to the bottom of a mystery in London. Princes Street is the Scottish capital's most famous shopping street — and it's gaining the *exact same* tatty gift shops as London. www.londoncentric.media/p/edinburgh-...

This is Virginia Guiffre's statement to Ghislane Maxwell, read by Guiffre's attorney in court the day Maxwell was sentenced. I had to divide it into 2 parts. Please read each & share. These are the words of a child rape victim, a victim of the monster Trump now protecting & arranging her freedom.

Never knew about this tale - but all the more reason to give to @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social slate.com/news-and-pol...
