Takes literally 2 seconds. Do this.

RE: https://mastodon.scot/@radiojammor/115900771257387727 Words of wisdom. If you are interested in getting the maximum number of pro-independence MSP's, consider voting for SNP and Green candidates with your two votes.

In essence: selling your A-Level certificates does not confer upon the buyer your A-Level results.

'You can vote at 16 but can't use social media at 15 and 364 days' is not a coherent policy platform.

After ICE agents shot people in Minneapolis tonight, a crowd faced them down and eventually chased them away, despite federal mercenaries and police shooting a tremendous amount of tear gas. ICE agents abandoned vehicles in the area, containing IDs, paperwork, license plates, and operational plans.

The quotes and replies to this are an absolute joy.

“Journeys are safer & smoother when we all work together” Lovely common sense road rules ad from Wokingham Borough Council.

A number of people on this platform have been claiming that it's not up to government to shorten people's time on remand, however far beyond the statutory limit that time extends. Well, take it from a very eminent retired judge. It is. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Good idea. Everyday antifascism.

‘In Japan, automobile owners must obtain a shako shomei sho, or “garage certificate,” showing that they have secured a place to store the vehicle overnight at their residence or in a parking garage; leaving it streetside is not an option.’ www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Fun statistical fact: when a disgraced former politician and tax avoider moves from the Tories to Reform, the average integrity of both parties goes up.

Pleased to learn today the origin of, 'know which side your bread is buttered on'. I thought it was something archaic and literal, but it's in a poem about an arguing couple from John Heywood's 1562 'Epigrams & Proverbs'. The man says his wife can't tell who's bad or good for her, and she says:

Looking at you #Glasgow

Cities that won't remove parked cars from bus lanes are making an announcement that they value property storage for car owners above mobility for everyone else.

History by Reform: “1666. A Greggs, and the City of London with it, go up in smoke when a stressed-baker drops his Lambert and Butler on a mountain of unnecessary European red tape. Nobody is certain why the fire spreads so quickly, but the answer is probably cycling lanes.”

My niece comes to the U.S. most years from Europe to visit her grandfather. This year she was stopped at the airport, taken into an interrogation room, accused of being a prostitute, had her phone taken and scanned, and released. You know, in case you were wondering why tourism to the U.S. is […]

Pro-indy SNP supporters should vote for Scottish Greens on the list vote in May if they don't want to waste their 2nd vote and want to help keep Reform down: "The [SNP]’s likely success in [constituency contests] would mean that, despite not being awarded a single list seat, the nationalists […]

Great video showcasing some of Glasgow’s old, new, & potential cycling infrastructure Such a pity that Glasgow council continue to prioritise cars over people at junctions, with 🚲 facing long wait times to cross “Glasgow has made great progress, but like so many cities, there’s so much to do”

A very interesting read with a very plausible real reason behind the invasion of Venezuela. Perhaps it's the petrodollar and not oil...

A very long and important THREAD - The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974. And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself. Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

Can you confirm @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social whether Labour's ban on 'nudification' apps will extend to Grok, please?

Does that qualify you for a special award?

There is, to my mind, no justification for the continued use by the UK Government of X as a platform for official comms. There hasn't been for some time, in fact, but if the latest developments around AI-generated image abuse and CSAM don't change the policy I really don't know what will.

Apparently the cold weather means our local authority has emergency measures to offer rough sleepers shelter. Or, to put it another way, we choose to let people sleep rough all of the rest of the time.

A very remarkable woman indeed. More here, including the moving "tombmates" inscription for Gurney and her partner (her word) Sarah-Maria Buxton. (Quakers: rarely constrained by other people's ideas of what shape life should be...) queernorfolk.com/news/anna-gu...

A significant amount of safety research has existed for decades on Human Machine Interfaces proving exactly this. It's exhausting to watch money and effort wasted in a tech hype cycle to constantly undo and redo what we already know in safety engineering.

Ciaran Jenkins and I have recorded another Channel 4 News/BBC News long-distance musical collaboration for Christmas. This year we play The Coventry Carol. To all who are celebrating, wishing you a happy, peaceful Christmas.

This is what we're up against... A driver of SH15ATN doing his online shopping for saws whilst driving his 1.6 tonne vehicle on busy roads. All in a country (Scotland) that has no online reporting system and little to no road policing. #DNRPoliceScotland

“Tell me Ma, me Ma! We won't be home for tea. We're going to [an Anglo-Saxon’s called] Wemba Lee.”

If you're calling Robin Ince "a troublemaker" then what the hell is going on at the BBC? Did he object to the Genocide in Gaza, is that it? Will he be denounced as a terrorist by Nigel Farage and the BBC forced to fire him so Nigel isn't upset? What the actual fuck is going on here?! […]

How many times do we need to point this out? By appeasing the far right, you do not weaken it. You strengthen it. While weakening your own position. There's a vast amount of academic research showing this. But Labour will not listen. www.theguardian.com/law/2025/dec...

Not sure if anyone is interested but here is a link to an 80 page pdf "bible" on touring bikes from Thorn cycles. Seems to be a mine of information on the subject. www.sjscycles.com/thornpdf/tho...

WOW c 10k people have now watched Democracy for Sale's video about our new undercover investigation, with Led By Donkeys. An ex-Tory MP introduced our fake Chinese AI investor into MPs and ministers - and all for just £5k! 😱 Watch the video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKof...

The DESC system in Scotland is in place. It's a waste of time. Police still need to visit and you're still dependant on those particular officers actually giving a toss. Sometimes you never hear from them again. There is NO road justice in Scotland. ☹️ road.cc/content/news...

A blast from the past... Tony Hart draws Stonehenge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBOAHKaD1kM I am so in awe of how he creates this from a few strokes with pastels and a huge bloody marker. The super skilled always make things look so easy. #TonyHart #Stonehenge #art #drawing

Eurovision is our anniversary. I asked her out the night Katrina and the Waves won. Yes, we've been together a long time, but it means Eurovision is a big deal to us. And yet... We've got to say no, we're having nothing to do with it if it won't dump Israel over genocide.

Fortunately David Lammy you have the chance to vote for a customs union by backing our bill next week. See you in the Aye lobby?

Israel is to be allowed to compete in the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest. Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands and Slovenia will now boycott. Belgium & Iceland to consider their positions. Silence from the #BBC Hence my complaint to the BBC. Please consider sending […] [Original post on mastodon.scot]
