I'm gonna say it: the new Muse album is... not bad???? Not like 2000s Muse good, but a fun time.

Second game running 🤦‍♂️ #SCOBRA

The answer you are looking for is.... no.

I don't log every film I watch because even I think that's a tad exhausting/unnecessary, but here are the last four films I reviewed: Neat sports doc, some vintage gonzo Cage, the grandparent to all those 2010s whip-smart financial dramas and the most avant-garde hood film I've ever seen.

Both Kenny and Kevin Keegan are going through the mill right now. Sad to see. They're much loved by millions.

Feel for anyone who misses a big penalty in a shootout. Except for John Terry, because that was and always will be hilarious.

Penalty shoot outs are a rubbish way to win or lose a final. Entertaining to watch I guess. Ally McCoist thinks Arsenal were “excellent” and had a great game plan … erm … ok …?

European cups aren’t for everyone 😅 A titanic effort by Arsenal tbf.

Arsenal are gonna win this with their one chance, aren’t they? 😴

I wanted Slot replaced. But can we show a bit of class and dignity. He was a good guy. Not the right coach for LFC. Thanks for the title, Arne! #LFC

Klopp would never agree to this transfer cos he has the emotional intelligence and cultural awareness to understand the importance of a scouser in a #LFC team. Edwards sees everything as a line on a spreadsheet. That's why he chose a yes man headcoach who lacks gravitas and emotional intelligence.

Mad how poor Hughes is at resigning players. Now we need another CB on top of everything else we have to do. #lfc

Net-zero-related industries are supporting more than 105,000 jobs in Scotland and contributing £10.2bn to the economy, according to industry research. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Happy for Ian Wright and only Ian Wright about the Arsenal title win.

I'm not sure if it's worth making a proper account for it on here, but I'm proud of the work we've done in our first season of collections as Livingston Fans Supporting Foodbanks. For a small fanbase and volunteer group, we did no bad! @sfoodbanks.bsky.social #HungerDoesntWearClubColours

Mad to think that Spurs finished above Arsenal as recently as 2022.

The Chamber seating arrangements for Session 7 at The Scottish Parliament have been agreed. ⬇️

Never got the chance to say this because I’ve been more focused on some important medical stuff this week, but shout out to @ballotbox.scot for their excellent election coverage. For those of us who work for the Parliament, it’s proven the most invaluable resource of the lot.

Quirk from #SP26: gap between the Lib Dems in sixth and the next party down is enormous compared to previous. Votes for smaller parties barely a factor—there may be an explanation for biggest one…: IGV - 0.9% ALS - 0.8% Family - 0.7% ISP - 0.4% SSP - 0.4% Workers - 0.1% Common - 0.1%

Who's the official opposition if Labour and Reform both have 17 seats?

The collapse of Labour in Wales is political history. Events in Scotland and England are second order by comparison.

Suggests it will be: Anas Sarwar Pauline McNeill Paul Sweeney Patrick Harvie Iris Duane Thomas Kerr Kim Schmulian

Labour's Jackie Baillie holds on to Dumbarton

EXC: Scottish Labour official calls on Anas Sarwar and Jackie Baillie to resign. Another member of the party's governing body has called for a leadership election 👇 www.thenational.scot/news/2609159...

Slightly surprised that the BBC are forecasting Glasgow Kelvin and Southside seats for the SNP. The Greens seemed quite bullish when interviewed earlier.

Angus Robertson’s parliamentary career comes to an end next to a person dressed as a gannet.

Russell Findlay breathes a sigh of relief: he has avoided the indignity of potentially losing his seat, were they only in line for one MSP in West overall. Very, very close ^AF

Labour has gained its first seat, Na h-Eileanan an Iar. It's a narrow victory, with their candidate Donald MacKinnon winning 4,665 votes to SNP's Alasdair Allan's 4,511.

FWIW am deeply unimpressed with BBC Scotland's online results tracker - clunky and inelegant. For real detail and insight, @ballotbox.scot is doing the biz ballotbox.scot 👇🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🗳️ #Holyrood26

Reform have cannibalised the Tory vote here - probably will be a pattern elsewhere - to the point that the Tory candidate wasn't far off the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition candidate... They're definitely eating into the SNP vote as well, though...

Have the Lib Dems done a stop the count tweet yet?

Unpopular opinion, speaking as someone who covered elections as a journalist: allowing workers and volunteers a good night's sleep is preferable to vibes and early-morning meltdowns.

Important data point here: “A sharp fall in Labour's performance is accompanied more often by an above average Green performance than it is by a strong Reform performance”. The Greens have already hurt Labour even before any direct gains.

Great headline from BBC News

Polls open until 10pm for the 2026 Scottish Parliament election (an hour ago, thanks for not posting the scheduled polls open post, Buffer xoxo); the earlier you vote the better, don't let the day get away from you! Pop in en route to work, after dropping weans at nursery, or coming back from gym!

Arsenal in a champions league final feels spiritually wrong. Well done I suppose

Give me 30 seconds of possession that leads to a shot at goal over 2 minutes of pointless possession in front of the opposition any day... #lfc

Updated Scotland poll tracker, accounting for yesterday's @ballotbox.scot and Find Out Now polls. SNP 1 short of a majority. Pro-independence majority of 21. Seats (+/- 2021) SNP: 64 (nc) Lab: 17 (-5) Ref: 17 (+17) Grn: 11 (+3) LD: 10 (+6) Con: 10 (-21) 1/2

Hill Dickinson is Red.👏

If Artemis is going up then it gives me an excuse to once again post this photo, the only one to contain every human being in the universe but one.

Global super-rich may have hidden $3.55tn from tax officials, says Oxfam

No midfield. No idea. No energy. No attacking patterns. No movement. No nothing. Slot needed to go a month ago.

Completely, inexcusably abject from Liverpool - the worst result of a horrible season. It may well be the case that this league no longer allows you to play good football, but ineffectiveness isn't compulsory, too. How can Arne Slot possibly make the case to stay this summer?

Thank God for that. The commentators completely unprofessional at the end, though. They sound heartbroken. #FRAVENG
