30 years ago today, Belle and Sebastian released their debut, Tigermilk, on Electric Honey, the record label run by the students of Stow College, Glasgow. Five years later, I started my own adventure at Stow and Electric Honey, leading to my wee label, Too Many Fireworks! Happy Birthday, Tigermilk!

@ZackPolanski Andy Burnham says he "can't judge" if the Israeli military's crimes in Gaza are a genocide. The experts already have. A UN commission, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, and leading rights orgs all agree: it's genocide. Andy, why won't you call it what it is?

I'm Clavicular, and this is 60 Minutes

Had Hasan Piker on The National Podcast today discussing his ban from the UK, his reaction to it, the support he's had and how to challenge increasingly authoritarian governments. Really interesting chat youtu.be/SekbKT6pXDQ?...

Getting ready for the opening of the World Cup, 24 cans of Irn-Bru Xtra have made their way to Warsaw. Now, the trick is to stop myself from drinking them all before the Haiti match. Easier said than done.

Do I detect a wildly-jerking knee?

After a wee spell in the bike hospital, she’s back. 🫡❤️

Couldn't sleep last night, so in a nod to the internet of my mid-twenties, I added a last-played widget to my website, powered by last.fm. Absolutely nae reason for it save for the nostalgia of a time when it wasn't excruciating to be online.

The sound of the Bellshill Beat from 40 years ago. BMX Bandits E102. "without doubt the worst single of all time." N.M.E.

Today #Warsaw celebrates Corpus Christi. Last year, my friend, Jaap Arriens made a film of me photographing the parade from the Archcathedral. Not long after, my daily carry switched from 35mm to 28mm, otherwise it still largely holds up. #streetphotography #photography #streetphotographer #leica

Albums I think I’ve listened to the most: The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds Belle and Sebastian - If You’re Feeling Sinister Mogwai - Young Team Idlewild - 100 Broken Windows Slint - Spiderland

For Sheilagh Fogarty to claim to Cenk Uygur that "British people" don't believe that they "can't criticise Israel" is particularly demented when wee grannies are being arrested for terrorist offences for doing exactly that.

2026 is the year Scotland gets a World Cup song by the Belles. Happy days!

Spectators watch as Estonian slacklining champion, Jaan Roose walks the 500m between Warsaw’s Palace of Culture and Science to the Varso Tower, approximately 140m off the ground. Even the buildings are watching. 📷 #Warsaw, Poland. 2026 #streetphotography #photography #redbull #blackandwhite

Two goals from Lawrence Shankland ensured that Scotland will head to the World Cup in good spirits after beating Curacao 4-1 ⚽

" It's only online you end up screaming & shouting & being attacked by them. In real life, you have a chat, & we all kind of sigh & put up with each other."

Curaçao is a small Dutch Caribbean island with a population of 158,000, that is currently beating Scotland 0 - 1 two weeks before our opening World Cup match. Same as it ever was. 🫣

Oh my. Now we’re talking.

As it turns out, the “couch” in this “couch to 5k” is one of those burst ones you find on the spare ground outside an Easterhouse scheme. Still, week one is done. The phrase “blowing oot his arse” personified.

Photographed an anti-genocide protest outside an IDF-attended technology conference in Warsaw on Wednesday night. The contempt on the faces of the conference attendees had to be seen to be believed. #FreePalestine

That thing at 40mph against a cold thigh on an ash pitch in deepest Airdrie. Actual PTSD.

I mean, she's no wrong.

Slightly diminish a book: New Lanark

Today is Nakba Day. You cannot understand what lies at the heart of conflict in the Middle East unless you understand what happened to 85% of Palestinians in 1948. Here Eugene Rogan explains how hundred of thousands ended up as homeless refugees in Gaza

Sonya Blade from the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie has made the worst JOI video ever

Israel just abducted activists, journalists & humanitarians from the Global Sumud Flotilla — including our contributor Alex Colston. Zeteo demands that Israel immediately release those kidnapped & calls on the UN, the US & governments across Europe to take urgent action & hold Israel accountable.

On this day in 1964, Beatlemania descended on Glasgow. The Fab Four played two legendary shows at the Odeon, and this footage shows the hysteria surrounding the gigs, and the band en route to the Theatre Royal studios to record a segment for the STV show Roundup. 🎥 SCRAN, STV

I think it's time to turn off the internet.

@michaelhobbes.bsky.social “only the gritless weddings” was top tier and didn’t get the recognition it deserved! 🤣

Jesus Christ, these people have lost their fucking minds. Gottheimer has delayed his War Powers Act motion to table this cynical horseshit.

Krishnan Guru-Murthy: “If there is a pro-independence majority in parliament, should the London government grant a referendum?” What is the London government? A Freudian slip perhaps, but very telling in that it shows how the establishment media think and feel about Scotland

To be clear: any outlet that reports "Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz" without reporting "because they explicitly said the ceasefire must include Lebanon and Israel is continuing to bomb Lebanon" is an outlet you cannot trust.

Hi @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ... you thinking of maybe saying something? Maybe DOING something?

Hi @schumer.senate.gov ... you thinking of maybe saying something? Maybe DOING something?

Ladies and gentlemen... the "good guys".

US and Israel. Definitely winning.

He’s absolutely rattled.

What is this, now? Trump-does-Alex-Jones?

🤪

Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.

This is a guy who gets alerts when his son looks at porn. Because Jesus or something. Right.

"We want Iran to go back to how it was just before we toppled its government because of oil, so we think the best person to put in place would be the son of the guy who we installed as a puppet leader because of oil." Bitch, please.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to bomb this elementary school full of kids because he thinks it makes him look cool. also his scheming viziers will be betting money on it for fun. good luck soldier

Israel, immediately after vaporizing a bunch of little girls:
