It just looks like a rebranding of the tories post-toxic boris

empathy is toxic, bro

Your occasional reminder that NHS Scotland did not hand our data to Palantir because the SNP Scottish Government said no. #VoteSNP

I mean I can see why they're playing at Rugby Park rather than Auchinleck's home ground. That would be a bit of a Trek for the visitors. #auchinleck #Celtic

From Guardian Weekend magazine May, 2008 article entitled 'Guess who their favourite band is then, A portrait of extreme fans'.

Lovely to see the artist reunited with her work!! 🐦🌳🔔🐟

Entering our Too Lazy to Manufacture Consent era

Book Cover of the Day:

A gem of a find on the Internet Archive! My childhood library's Index Catalogue from 1909 📚🐦🌳🔔🐟 I was interested to see the hygiene notes therein having watched someone slurping their way through a library book on the train during covid 😷

Morning.

Y’all might not appreciate it, but it took him 87 moves and 14 hours to get here

Squerr heid

A fabulous #FlyDay full of festive feathered flair!

Ah. Seems the bunting I made should have been *elves*. 🎄

I'll merry your christmas for you in a minute if you're no careful

Spot of shopping at the Burrell this morning. Highly recommend both the shop and the walk! #Southside #Glasgow

Season's greetings, Bluesky! 🎄 I captured the Christmas Tree Cluster in time for the holiday. Hope you have a Merry Christmas this season. #astrophotography #astronomy #naturephotography #nature #longexposurephotography #longexposure #christmastree #starcluster #christmas #eastcoastkin #photography

OH just now in elderly care ward: Nurse: do you want to brush your teeth? Old lady: MY TEETH ARE IN THE HOUSE!!

How about illustrating this with a picture of a kid seeing his dad treat women like shit rather than a kid with a phone.

In and around the Necropolis at lunchtime.

I don’t know man if capitalism has just resulted in a small network of pedophiles destroying all life on earth then perhaps we should consider that it is a complete and utter failure as a system

Get an education, they said. 😐

Learned today that “Galápagos” comes from a Spanish word for tortoise, meaning that “Galápagos Tortoise” is, in fact, a tortology

Phone telling me it's a year today since the vet hospital packed us off with Bettyboop, her diagnosis of aggressive brain tumour and a bag of palliative meds

Sure, because one of the first things you notice about 'gender-critical' voices in Scotland is how *silent* they are. It's not like they've been amplified like an air raid siren by virtually the entire national media or anything

Yeah it's my wee bro Richie and his pal Alex from Cirqurious back in the day @theguardian.com. Sorted.

You know, infuriating and a shameful betrayal though the BBC and other media's misreporting of the Sandie Peggie judgment is, it also doesn't really matter. What matters is the judgment which lawyers will read, use to advise their clients, and inclusion will be the winner.

Yeah, MPs openly siding with Peggie, BBC giving interviews with her lawyer, etc - all basically taking her winning as assumed. This should be hugely embarrassing for them and prompt a rethink, but of course the one technical winning ground will give them an excuse not to.

Decision in the Sandie Peggie case. She was not directly or indirectly discriminated against, her claim of victimisation fails entirely, her claim of harassment fails largely and her claim against Beth Upton fails entirely. www.judiciary.uk/judgments/sa...

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (either War or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

I love this cacophony of corners up at Holmhead. *So* many Thomson motifs coming together in the same shot .

Been a busy week incl several 14-hr shifts working on this wee gig. It's been amazing to get my teeth into something after being out of the picture for 5yrs. Great wee launch last night. It's on Mon-Fri, 12-5pm til 6 Feb. I'll be there on Thursdays 2-4pm if you want a guided tour

Lovely evening at my first exhibition in years. My brother (55) came along to the event and did bunny ears behind my (59) head in the best photo. Siblings gonna sibl. 🐦🌳🔔🐟

Commerce and (reflected) religion (accidentally) in the one photo! #GhostSigns cf.The Protestant Ethic & the Spirit of Capitalism, Weber? 🤓

Can't get over how much the view west from #Glasgow Cross in this photo looks like a collage!

Up eh toon the day

It will never not thrill me that a bit of Mars is called Auchinleck Tip

'Trubl' kinda covers it

Me when I was a cop booking my da back in early 70s Leslie Street 😬 #Pollokshields #TheTortoise #IYKYK

Columbo in his first episode looks like a dog that's just come back from the groomer

First exhibition in 5 years - the boards are back!! Updated with loads of recent contributions. A selection of the crowd-sourced archive pics - including this cracker of Govanhill Baths from @druidic.org - getting shown at a Southside venue for the 1st time 😁🐦🌳🔔🐟 www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/glasgow-co...
