Recently re-read #Glue by @irvinewelsh.bsky.social got me thinking that it would be a brilliant TV series. Like a Scottish version of My Friends in the North maybe?

Read this 20 year ago. Even better second time round. Should be compulsory reading in Scottish secondary school, History, Social and English classes. 👏👏👏

A reminder: Russia signed a treaty with Ukraine in 1997, accepting that Crimea was part of Ukraine. In 2014 Russia infiltrated Crimea and seized it. Now Pres Trump proposes that Ukraine should accept the loss of Crimea, and blames Pres Zelenskyy for refusing this peace deal.

#Blackmirror episode 5. Eulogy. Bring a tear to a glass eye 😢😢

A breathtaking performance by Paul Giamatti in the Eulogy episode of Black Mirror

"Who the fuck is Jeff Goldberg?"

See, it's funny cuz it's true. 🤣 (also: #sad) 😞

#1923 is excellent TV, but the Scottish accents are fuckin horrendously bad attempts.

"The effect is you get a cheerleader for Trump-ism asking Zelensky, 'why aren't you wearing a suit?'" What happens when the president bans journalists, and invites right-wing podcasters, to top press events?

👏

Just finished a 6 part Australian/UK thing called North Shore. Its got to be watched to believed how f#ckin awful it is. 6 hours of my life Im never getting back. Home & Away and Neighbours has better writing than this utter shite. #Northshore #ITV

@paulheatonsolo.bsky.social Absolutely fantastic last night in Aberdeen 👏👏👏

I’ve been a proud Patron of CLAPA for over 20 years. My brother was born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate, and I saw first-hand how important it is for families affected by cleft to have the kind of support that @clapacommunity provides.

#SayNothing was a very decent watch. Going to buy the book
