Long ago, a cat died from being fed four minutes past feeding time. Cats have told their children of this for 3,000 generations.

Waiting for the London-based press to start putting some Scottish politics in their papers or asking their Scottish Correspondents to do so sometime in the next three weeks. It will happen, of course, as at least one told me they could and would. Any day now. Any day. inews.co.uk/category/new...

This sort of thing is why I do not repost Herald articles, even ones by people I respect. It has handed awards to a hate group, whose legal actions we all have to pay to defend against at local or national levels, then expects the targets of that group to trust it to be unbiased?

You might think that if a bunch of charities said @heraldscotland.bsky.social wasn't welcome at an LGBTQ hustings they might be gracious about it and have a think about why, right? Nah, they bullied their way in, then complained that everyone including the equalities minister is too woke

I am shocked, SHOCKED, that after the Tories closed down all the youth centres and non-commercial public meeting spaces under austerity the teens are going to *commercial* public spaces to socialize and thereby scaring the Daily Mail editorial writers

I'd watch. Six seasons and a movie. "Oh damn! This season is the greater Wichita Yellow Pages!"

It’s long past time to end horse racing, the jockeys should be humanely destroyed and the horses given other jobs

Remember folks, don't use Meta for Welsh translation work..

“We didn't receive any messages and Captain Blackadder definitely did not shoot this delicious plump-breasted pigeon.”

To be clear: any outlet that reports "Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz" without reporting "because they explicitly said the ceasefire must include Lebanon and Israel is continuing to bomb Lebanon" is an outlet you cannot trust.

here is what happens when you give people 10k towards buying a house: 1) everyone suddenly has 10k more to spend on buying a house 2) house sellers notice this 3) they increase the price by 10k

herald subeditor: oh hey u guys are back early kevin mckenna: glasgow's woke herald subeditor: what? kevin mckenna: *loading a pistol and getting back on the rocket-ship* glasgow's woke

Feathers McGraw is back in town.

Just could not post at all yesterday. So, yeah, thank fuck, but It needs to happen as soon as possible.

Is there a human statue competition going on or something

Compare the Market has really ruined meercats for me, a friend just sent me a photo of one from the zoo and my immediate thought was "ugh not that cunt"

A cool update on the war we aren’t fighting and aren’t involved in

Kneecap is persecuted by the British government for condaming Isreals genocide but Kanye west who denied the holocaust and made a song called heil hitler He can headline a concert in london I dont know but it doesnt seem to me that the British government is actually all that bothered by antisemitism

OH HEY IT’S TIME TO POST THIS FUCKIN THING AGAIN

re portes, as well: there’s this thing with centrists where they think that taxation on the wealthy is bad if it’s purely punitive; it has to be economically instrumental. I think that really has to be pushed back on. wealth concentration is toxic *in and of itself* and it should be deterred

War criminals rescuing war criminals by doing war crimes.

Errrr, I seem to be having a problem with a couple of my Easter eggs…

Is this the point where we tell Lib Dems and Labour to eat shit and hold their noses and it's about getting the bus that goes in the right direction etc? Because they fucking well won't

1260) Aneggbot. Has brought you an egg.

Wimdy, immit?

gambling should be broadly legal but you should have to place all bets in person, it shouldn’t even be possible over the phone. if you want to bet on missile strikes, you should have to look another person in the face and say it out loud while a line of people behind you gets audibly angry at you

A horse walks into a bar. "Why the long face?" asks the barman. "Your lungs hold around 5 litres" replies the horse. "Mine hold 50. I can breathe in almost two THOUSAND litres of air a minute. Big lungs need big noses and big mouths, which need long faces. Centaurs? They'd fucking suffocate, mate"

I returned to the Wing Yip gatcha/gasha machines and fate did set its face to smile upon me: Vase Tom and Wedge Jerry, YES

Again - BlueSky was originally Jack Dorsey’s pet project to make a Web3 social media / NFT trading post until a bunch of trans furries got ahold of invite codes and started mass-proliferating them to other trans furries and then suddenly BlueSky was 90% queers and annoying leftists and Jack fled.

Just fascinated about why this journalistic finger-wagging at Hannah Spencer for supposedly over-simplifying complex problems was not applied to Starmer when he fully suggested tackling fly-tipping by tracking down the culprits with drones and crushing their vehicles.

Man, the centrist journos are getting really worried about the Greens, aren't they? Full on "better things aren't possible" everywhere

While I do have respect for young people, the trend in media of replacing everyone who has enough experience to be paid well with graduates who can bang out clickbait comparisons of supermarket marmalades for minimum wage may not be what the paying readers want or expect.

Good Friday. Time to remember a man who died and returned days later to save us all.

With costs soaring and people being priced out of everyday essentials, it is ridiculous that so much public money is given to one super-rich and scandal-ridden family based on who their ancestors were. The @scottishgreens.org will end the King’s tax breaks 👑

You don’t have to remove your alien headgear for the Japanese national anthem

ICE edit

It's time to repost this Easter masterpiece

This is the country that the UK has permitted to use its military facilities btw

Feels like "absolute unit" may not have made it across the pond just yet.

Turned on the telly and saw a hand reach for a tin of prawn curry and instantly went "Ipcress File again?" That's some serious meeees en scene innit?

Moon posts have me singing the old classics. www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9MZ...

Just seen the World Cup Final tickets are nearly ten grand. It's a lot of money but it does include getting to play for whichever team you want, as they'll be stuck in an ICE detention centre.
