It's a shame that they don't want to have mean things said about them, because I regard them as no better than Klan members. FAFO. This stain is on your soul forever, sorry, I don't make the rules.

That Maslany isn't recognised as one of the greatest living actors, and actors of all time, is a *crime*.

Just before the AI bubble bursts and the stock markets get wiped pit for the third (fourth?) time in my working life.

Ah that Lanterns trailer looks good. Kyle Chandler Hal Jordan is one of the few ways to make me interested in that character. True Detective Green Lantern might actually work?

Ha! Identical.

Bittersweet win as a Celtic fan. Feel dreadful for Hearts. Hope they keep up the quality next season.

It'll never not be frustrating that I didn't discover anime cons as a teen like my son has. He's come away just enjoying having been around people like him. Can't underestimate the importance of that for a kid.

What a grim world we live in that doing a bit of gay porn which brings people sexy joy is more shameful than being a councillor for the party of hate.

Let people enjoy telling people they shouldn't enjoy telling people to let them enjoy things. Or something.

Connections today didn't even make sense!

First Sarwar, then Streeting, now Burnham. Any other Labour politicians want to run into a tunnel painted on a mountain or have we learned yet?

All the "is Miliband popular/competent/acceptable after losing 11 years ago" is missing the most crucial point: that the most dramatically satisfying ending is that the guy who lost the election after which everything went wrong comes back and fixes it all. Ask Chekov. Ask Aristotle

Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks... HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless. Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it So where's the wall-to-wall coverage? Tell me this isn't a rigged game.

New song is great! A new mountain goats day is a good day.

I feel like Wes Streeting would be the current politician most likely to work with the Daleks then get exterminated ten minutes before the end of the episode.

Marvel really saw DC's Absolute line and liked it a lot, eh?

It is looking almost inevitable that Reform will form a government after the next election. They will establish concentration camps for every demographic they hate and they will absolutely shutter the NHS. Give me one good reason Scotland shouldn't seek independence immediately.

there's something really interesting about the rot having really set in after the scottish indyref. the unionist parties absolutely used the snp's decent support for trans rights as a stick to beat them with, thereby aligning themselves with an ultra-conservative anti-lgbt faction

If you’re more interested in Dr Q Manivannan’s visa status than 17 fascist MSPs in Parliament, that tells me a lot about you.

My son saw 15 seconds of Dragon Ball Z when he was 10 and was hooked for life.

No one asked but of course it's right that the SNP won't work with Reform. It's not only right, it's very funny.

The actual story of Reform is a sixty-year-old landlord with a working-class-coded cockney accent yelling at a queer Asian gig worker that she's the elite because she's complained he's doubled the rent again.

The SNP and Scottish Greens face a media that is cartoonishly hostile to them in a fashion that would make a London Labourite scream, and a lot of the times they just roll up their sleeves and go for it.

I am looking forward to the column

Superb

Wish BBC Scotland didn't cut off Gethins' pro-immigration victory speech there.

If you're following the Scottish election results, the timetable is: Friday 9am - count begins 1pm - First results 5pm - most results in, new government emerges Saturday PM - new first minister announced Sunday PM - first official duty, condemning 'disgraceful scenes' following Old Firm game

On another note entirely, it's been ages since I watched any MCU stuff, but from wee clips shoved in the algorithm, am I right in saying it's pretty clear that the best actor and character in the whole thing is Charlie Cox's Daredevil?

Not following this up in every interview ever with him from here on out would be a huge journalistic failure.

At this point our best hope for the General is that Reform to such a comprehensively terrible job in every council that folk refuse to vote for them. If you're looking for blame, look at the billionaire-owned media and the Labour Party who has capitulated every ethical point since they got elected.

one of the most dangerous truths of the modern era is this: all evidence-backed "wellness" and "life-extension" tactics are just basic diet and exercise. most people have very little they can do to impact their longevity besides regularly go to the doctor and get vaccinated, etc

Good morning Scotsky! Remember that it's your civic duty today to go to the polling station and make Anas Sarwar very sad and unemployed

Dawkins spending his entire career berating basically pretty normal people for being so stupid as to believe in God and then immediately giving himself Roko's Basilisk Derangement Syndrome after talking to the AI catgirl waifus is just the funniest shit.

Sharing, without comment, British newspapers’ depictions of the only Jewish person currently leading a UK political party . Times. Mail. Telegraph. Sun.

Always fun to note that the folk most vociferous about children needing to get used to being uncomfortable are the most easily triggered right wingers who think any change from life as they imagine it was in 1993 is an attack on the fabric of society. They are the most easily discomfited in society

Again, cannot be stressed enough, mere months into Starmer’s premiership, hundreds of radicalised right-wingers attempted open pogroms, attacking places of worship and hotels housing people coded as brown and Muslim, and our he has shown zero interest in interrogating what catalysed those actions.

The Mandalorian lost all credibility with the Big Cool Scene at the end of S2

I did kind of wonder why all the Labour candidates have gone wild with the explicit transphobia when up till now it's been more on the dogwhistley side, but this is 100% the answer

The conceit of this new Ted Lasso season is wild. Like, he almost wins the Premier League and is a top coach in UK football...but can he train WOMEN?

I (40) often listen to Taylor Swift and my 14 year old listens to randos who have put lyrics to the Undertale soundtrack.

If MPs can't get through their workdays without a pint or a glass of wine, they shouldn't be MPs.

The same MPs who'll say young people today don't know real work, need to get back to the office etc, would stage a literal riot if you tried to take away their on-site subsidised bar and restaurants that they use before going to their completely expensed second homes in the city.

It's the principled nature of Labour's stances, like the pressing need to give young people a stake in democracy, that I most admire about them.

I thought America was supposed to be good at shooting? Like, you have one job?

Oh so you love the Falklands? Name everyone who lives there. This is achievable because there's like 8 of them.

Got 8 items of post today, all of them election flyers.

This is the future liberals want

If you live in Glasgow Southside your Labour candidate is an explicit transphobe

This looks brilliant, and the attempt to leave it unreleased is madness. Fair play for leaning into it in the advertising!
