Have we also given them enough money to protect them from being stolen and sold in the closed market

The more of us reading Françoise Gilot’s book on Picasso as a way to truly understand this the better.

One of the more entertaining parts of living in Scotland again in the past decade is certain sections of central Edinburgh thinking they are radical.

It’s telling how some male columnists and commentators have reacted to Riot Women as ‘man-hating’ when it’s simply depicting average everyday experiences women have with men all the time. If seeing the world through a woman’s eyes makes you hate men too the I guess you see our problem.

I have been out at an event full of young people and I am here to inform you that moustaches are back. Some are a throwback to the heyday of Magnum PI and sadly others, the height of Vichy France. (You all may know this but I might as well live in a cave in Assynt for all the street life I see)

selfies. If you take them can you tell me why?

Part memoir, part environmental history, part travelogue, @dominicmhinde.bsky.social's 'Drifting north' is an engaging and original portrait of Scotland, a nation standing at an environmental crossroads. Join us in Wigtown on 30th September, tickets:

This spot on and good phrasing. Now let’s see the response.

"A captivating journey through Britain and Ireland's ancient sites ... lyrical and charming ..." Many thanks to @waterstones.bsky.social for naming Upon A White Horse as one of September's best books. www.waterstones.com/book/upon-a-...

A mob of angry drunken men screaming abuse outside an asylum hotel have defended their actions, saying all they want is for women and girls to feel safe walking the streets. From the new Private Eye, out now.

Can you imagine how many bams we’ll need to take in Scotland when they extend this English repatriation policy to white people?

I had to inform the Patriarch this afternoon about the fleg wars with the saltire hanging from houses and flags. “Well at least we know where the arseholes live, but could they not just have stuck with the Union Jack?” What a time to be alive. . .

Beginning to wonder if I should sew together an English, Scottish and EU flag and wander about the town with it just to reclaim something I didn’t know I was losing.

I think this is it. Despair is easy and you get to feel wise, and it doesn't really place any obligations on you or force you to speak out or do anything, really.

Ffs. Here we go.

I feel this way about young people listening to Oasis, Carl Cox and taking MDMA. “Get yer own music and drugs!”

Here’s the link to file claims in the Anthropic case: www.lieffcabraser.com/anthropic-au...

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

The penny is beginning to drop about the desperate need for a constitution vaguely fit for purpose in the UK I see. That’s not far far too late at all.

No one in their right mind would take this on. No one. www.glasgowlive.co.uk/whats-on/foo...

I see those in the US are still talking about the ‘threat’ of autocracy.

I went to a small Highland Games yesterday and learned that if you put a man in a kilt and give him some heavy things to throw he will stay in a corner of a field and amuse himself for an entire day.

The entire arts sector in the U.K.

It seems like only yesterday* the biggest political scandals in the arts were a peodophile big wig in theatre and Scotland’s National Poet being a member of the SNP. *it was a decade ago

If you are too young to understand any Charlie Brown references, what is the equivalent of Linus and his security blanket?

interested in film making? in Embra? nothing on this evening? swing by and say hello

Or put another way, everything you ever do has to be dictated and uploaded onto Microsoft servers and used to train Copilot.

I don’t think people from a bigger country understand how important differentiation is to the much smaller one beside it. The Portuguese do it, the Dutch do it, Mexicans and Canadians do it. If you’re in bed with an elephant you don’t wear grey.

Bit of a shame that politicians don't seem to understand that it's social media that is responsible for the spread of misinformation, not data gathering practices in the police. They should, at the very least, make social media companies legally responsible for the consequences of it.

But you wouldn’t steal a car? arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

If there any tickets left snap them up. Am still catching my breath.

@lissakevans.bsky.social absolutely loving Small Bomb At Dimperely.

At the Hunterian art Gallery and still very firmly of the opinion that the people involved in the decision making process of the rehang should never be allowed near an art gallery ever again.

Full slate of launch events on our little UK tour, including new date in Dundee.

www.theguardian.com/technology/2... I proposed a "right to your face" back in 2019. Interesting to see where this goes. Public interest exceptions will be challenging..

Gearing up for the supreme court decision. waiting for everyone to become fiduciary duty, consumer credit act, and tort of bribery experts today.

This will be absolutely amazing

Pitching AI investors. "If you give me half a trillion dollars in venture capital, I can buy enough GPUs from Nvidia to enable every man, woman, and child on earth to access my service, which loses money each time it's used." Investors:

@iandunt.bsky.social OH MY FUCKING GAWD HE SPEAKS SPANISH 😍😍😍 www.instagram.com/reel/DIoaWXR...

Oh great. He’s coming here.

A play wot I wrote is going on at the Edinburgh Fringe. Venue 53. Should anyone want to see it. Content warning: it’s all about sex and God.

As the tomato season is upon us I urge those of you partial to a tomato salad to go to the fancy supermarket that charges extra (you ALL know the one) and get tarragon and add it to sliced tomatoes with some parsley and oil and vinegar.

For this month’s Scribehound piece I wrote about the dying municipal markets in Spain, the very much alive one in @lickedspoon.bsky.social ‘s village and the declining one near me. join.scribehound.com/food?ref=sha...

Men oriented magazine vs women oriented one... This is the male gaze 100%

This isn’t the female gaze. This is the male gaze. It’s men who are obsessed with the physicality of other men. Women, in the main, would much rather see a man who looks like he’d make himself a stack of buttered toast and let you steal a slice

this could be you slaving over a hot stove, sorry being a glamorous film director there ecvs.co.uk
