You said: “Was it Celtic?” We said:

EHRC Code: 1. The point of the Equality Act was to prevent discrimination. So if you were discriminated against, you had (in most cases) a route to make a complaint, the law to back you up and a route to make inequality expensive enough that most companies complied (to some extent).

Morning.

You don’t look manly enough to use that toilet, you don’t look womanly enough to use that toilet. You look a bit too manly to go in that toilet, you look a bit to womanly to go in that toilet. This handmaid’s tale, transphobic bullshit will never make sense to me.

Merry World Goth Day fellow darklings 🦇🦇

Friday.

I hate that everything wants to be an app on my phone. I resent having any apps except the one that plays music. The rest of them are unnatural swine.

BREAKING: First Minister John Swinney will bring a motion on Scottish independence to a Holyrood vote on Tuesday, he has confirmed

21 May 1932 | Dutch Jewish girl, Eva Beem, was born in Leeuwarden. She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Westerbork in March 1944. She was murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection.

Sky News just did an extended piece on the UK being the world's largest importer of jet fuel, with zero production capacity. They managed not to mention the closure 2 years ago of the Grangemouth oil refinery which produced jet fuel.

Delighted at how this new tee looks. Full reveal soon!

Unai Emery is a five-time Europa League champion. By a fun quirk, all the teams he's won the tournament with have had 'Villa' in their name: Aston Villa (1), Sevilla (3) and Villarreal (1).🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

If capitalism is the best option, why do the most "successful" corporations need so many tax breaks, subsidies, favors, grants, and bailouts? 🤔 And when Americans need these things, why do they call it socialism? - Dean W

I am appalled by the conduct and rhetoric of Israeli Cabinet minister Itamar Ben-Gvir in relation to the Global Sumud Flotilla. Scotland stands with the people of Gaza. We need to see more humanitarian aid coming in, and every effort must be made to secure lasting peace.

I wish that people would take the trouble to inform themselves and that policy would reflect reality. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Immigration obsession is all about racism. We need to be clear about that. People who don’t give a toss about public services or housing have not suddenly become public spirited.

Aberdeen FC. Bravo. 👏

Weird dreams again last night. All sorts of really strange shit going on. Strangest was when The Rocky Horror Picture Show, playing on the TV in a hotel bedroom where I and others was getting changed into my kilt, suddenly turned into a hardcore version of the show… 😳🫣

The contrast between the number of media requests I got when rich people on a cruise were facing a deadly, but contained outbreak versus now that some of the poorest people in the world are facing a deadly and devastating epidemic is just so so stark and it just really annoys the hell out of me.

By far my favourite bit of architectural ironwork in Glasgow, and possibly anywhere in the world! It can be found on D.B. Dobson's 1902 Art Nouveau commercial building at 50 Darnley Street in Glasgow. #glasgow #ironwork #dragon #architecture #glasgowbuildings #pollokshields

BBC, 2 headlines, same day. Do you see it?, do you now see the bias?.

Matt Le Tissier reveals real photo of what happened at Boro's training ground.

Hearts not letting it drop, and rightly so. Other clubs need to support. This is a long overdue opportunity to address the behaviour of the Old Firm clubs and their toxic impact on Scottish football. It won’t come again quickly if it’s missed.

If you have a spare few minutes, it's worth reading this Bella Caledonia article about the worrying changes being made at BBC Scotland.
