NEW Were the Picts of northern Scotland wiped out by Viking conquest? New radiocarbon dates from the 1st millennium AD settlement of Buckquoy, Orkney paint a more complex picture of cultural interaction in the Northern Isles. #AntiquityThread 1/15 🧵 @northernpicts.bsky.social🏺 #Archaeology

The Scottish government provides every family with a newborn with a ‘baby box’ of essentials to help them get started. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is bringing the boxes to NY. Why can’t we have obviously good & nice things like this under a Labour government UK wide?

Haary* kind the day! *foggy

Spiders recycle too!

One reason Labour has given that the SNP is a “threat to national security” is that Swinney recently stopped subsidising arms companies arming Israel. In other words, Labour has decided to double down on its place as the pro-genocide party: bylinetimes.com/2025/11/06/t...

Your regular reminder that by throwing away nature, we throw away *everything*.

“The billionaire class has sought to convince those making $30-an-hour that their enemies are those earning $20-an-hour. They want the people to fight amongst ourselves so that we remain distracted from the work of remaking a long, broken system.” -Zohran Mamdani

Unbelievable. Israel still using heavy bombs to destroy Palestinian homes. Western countries need to grow a spine and cut all trade with Israel.

Think I’d have Shinnie in rather than Aouchiche (with Polvara the most forward of the 3), but we’re running out of players with the injuries and change of shape…

Get your colleagues and friends off it, folks.

Matt “D'Israeli” Brooker’s truly splendid covers for the 2006 Dark Horse serialisation of Scarlet Traces: The Great Game. I love D'Israeli’s storytelling. Sometimes I worry I’ve lost the ability to respond to art with the awe & joy that once came easy to me. But D'Israeli’s work always delights.

Dutch police told their British counterparts that over 200 Maccabi Tel Aviv football fans who wreaked havoc in Amsterdam in November 2024 were "linked to the Israel Defense Forces [IDF]", and that hundreds more were "experienced fighters", "highly organised" and "intent on causing serious violence"

The piece where I get to say everything that's bugging me about the world of detecting & archaeology & ask - why are we not more concerned about this? (Thank you to everyone who read through drafts & offered thoughts, advice and ideas.) #Archaeology #Detecting 🏺 bigbookoftorcs.com/2025/10/27/t...

What's behind Nigel Farage's deregulation plans for corporations? Follow the money 👀 He isn't a party leader. He's a CEO. And his investors have spoken.

The secret’s of Judge Dredd’s Lawmaster, by Bill Le Fever, from 1978’s 2000AD #89. I strongly suspect some fun was had in assembling the key for this. As with, say: “(5) Secondary headlamps with auto cut-in at 300 k.m.p.h. in fog.” Well, of course!

Partly because so many formerly leftwing parties have turned to the right, there's a lot of confusion about what right and left mean in politics. I hope this helps: The right defends economic power. The left resists economic power.

Violent Crime in Scotland is at an all-time low. It's been falling for decades. Lurid reports, in the trashy UK tabloids, will try to suggest, it's out of control. Britain's a war zone. In Scotland, it's at its lowest, since Records began. Read facts, not alarmist, London Newspaper trash.

People who received an mRNA-based Covid vaccine — it didn’t matter whether it was Pfizer or Moderna’s — up to 100 days before starting immunotherapy were twice as likely to be alive as those who either didn’t receive the vaccine or got it outside that time window. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Greens - Lower bills through nationalising our public services, wealth tax on assets and huge increase in investment in our public services. Labour - ID Cards, random statements about flags and Austerity 2.0. But apparently the Green Party are the "vibes era?" Make it make sense!
