Left at Easter Road today by some Hearts fans. I do worry we're going to see the idea the far right have no support in Scotland horribly disproven at the next election. Loyalism is a fringe movement but there's enough of them to get Reform MSPs elected.

It occurs to me that not everyone knows how to get to Sugarbush, the ski resort JD Vance is visiting. It’s a great mountain, but even if you don’t ski, it’s a beautiful drive to get there, especially on a clear day like tomorrow. You can get directions here. You’re welcome!

We appear to have omitted to bring our suits.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

🚨 BREAKING: Joint Chiefs Chairman CQ Brown is on the list of officers submitted to Congress—signaling that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth could fire him, officials say. Are you surprised that Hegseth might target the highest-ranking Black officer in the military? I’m not.

Horrified at what the US Government is doing, not surprised but still horrified. Interested to know what sane Americans think & what sort of pushback, if any, is happening within US?

So, what are you doing on Monday for lunch?

Good grief

First up this morning in #5albums70s3. I actually spun it last night and again today. It’s obviously a great record. Especially the first side. But, honestly, I don’t love it. A bit too much god stuff for my taste. But man, can Marvin sing! That finishes up 1971 from #johnsvinyl. #wasplaying

Quiet Life - Japan. 1982 reissue, Fame. Title track one of the great wasted disco tracks, hard for rest of lp to match #NowPlaying #5albums70s3

I just lost my job, along with most of my coworkers, due to the illegal grant freeze. I worked at an organization that -helped veterans who have lost a limb -Assisted elderly and disabled people -Helped hospitals better treat people who have lost limbs

What a horrible man Louis Walsh is #Boyzone

Really love this cartoon from the great Michael De Adder. The outpouring of support coming in has been truly amazing! Thanks everybody!

Intelligence officials are starting to leak to me now too. Here’s a memo Defense Intelligence Agency personnel received instructing them to suspend observances including: - Holocaust Remembrance Day - MLK Day - Juneteenth

Let’s make this viral. Kash Patel was asked “How much would you love to punch Adam Schiff in his face?” Patel laughs and responds with: “Well, you can ask me that after I’m done testifying before the January 6th Committee nonsense.” More here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/exclusive-...

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Dearie me America 😢 What have you done? This speech is nuts

Strange how BBC Scotland's football commentators always apologise when their mic picks up a supporter using a sweaty word yet are silent when 50,000 Rangers* fans sing sectarian songs

You've almost got to admire the thought process behind seeing how spectacularly badly Labour's winter fuel payments policy has gone down with pensioners and then thinking "let's come up with something even more unpopular"

A remarkable listen. Andrew Norfolk carefully, softly, devastatingly sets out all the context you need to understand the current discourse. He is balanced, sensitive and doesn't shy away from identifying the failings and those that have been failed. A stark contrast to other voices.

Telford survivors criticise Musk’s attack on Jess Phillips. Victims of male violence sign letter praising minister for devoting life to ‘fighting for women and girls’ - exc from @ecourea.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Some people in recent days have alleged a ‘cover-up’ over the grooming & rape of hundreds of young girls in predominantly northern UK towns, leading to calls for a ‘national’ public inquiry into child sexual exploitation FWIW here’s a non-exhaustive list of inquiries into #CSE in last 12 yrs…

Recommendation for Mufasa movie. It took grandkids this morning and it was great for kids and big kids alike 🦁

Just imagine how this conversation would play out in the media…

. @lewisgoodall.com @vicderbyshire.bsky.social this is an appallingly patronising discussion on @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social - please do not assume that these #WASPI campaigners speak for all women in that age group. the Ombudsman rec was a lot of money for not much benefit for individuals.

In awe of those folk who beautifully wrap presents, I’m at the as long as the paper covers it and it’ll get ripped open anyway stage 🤯

As ever, Stella Duffy says it right. Her words. @stellduffy.bsky.social

MONTHS AFTER Joe said he would not pardon Hunter, Trump won the election & appointed a man as FBI Director who has spent the last 4 years on every right-wing podcast ranting that he was going to go after Hunter. Obsessed with him. Were you aware of that, critics? Not relevant?

Film recommendation for those that haven’t yet watched Joy, The Birth of IVF, give it a go. A lovely watch with great performances and the focus on the contribution of Jean Purdy really refreshing.

@bennrobin.bsky.social hello 👋

Good article from @mattyfairnie.bsky.social on website www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Edinburgh seems to be at a standstill due to the snow that has now stopped and is rapidly melting. I cannot remember the bus service being suspended before even during the beast from the east in 2018.
