convinced myself during last years celebrity traitors that I needed to buy a tweed jacket and it's finally cold enough to wear it again

some joker has emailed in a bomb threat to every school and nursery in Scotland jokes on you mate, it's October week in Ayrshire

reminded this morning of the time I told my sons health visitor that I would happily see Andrew Wakefield summarily executed

read the opening "historical intro" to Poor Things by Alisdair Gray and now understanding why people were bigmad at the film

in a slightly daft sense of rebellion I stopped ordering stuff off Amazon by getting things from Argos (and Screwfix) instead can click and collect almost immediately, can get it delivered to my house for free if expensive or to my local Sainsbos if cheap

they're a corporation so I'm sure there's all sorts going on but even just in pure convenience it's a better deal we probably didn't know how good we had it!

train fact, normally when trains go past a signal they automatically turn red via whats known as the replacement control, in Scotland all signals by default have a delayed replacement control so if the snow plough is attached to the front the driver never sees the signal go back to red in their face

"I can't see a link between football and any given religion" going to be a shocking revelation within Glasgow alone! this guy must have a genuine brain injury

michael deacon continues his valiant quest to be britain's unfunniest man

my biggest revelation in cooking has been the absolutely more liberal application of salt and cracked black pepper, absolutely flavour game changer can't wait to teach my son this thing it took me years to learn

can't say shit yet Miss Rachel all over it

Pop Base@popbase.tv

Ed Sheeran has released a statement on Macklemore being removed from his tour for speaking up for Palestine: “I am not complicit. […] Just because I choose not to speak publicly, it doesn't mean I don't have [my own opinions], and it doesn't mean I don't care.”

lots of RNLI discourse at the moment but just consider this bit: the Royal National Lifeboat Institution operates in the UK and the REPUBLIC OF IRELAND. after independence, after booting out every british institution, these were the guys they kept. didn't even change the fucking name.

hate this STEM supremacy bullshit, and this is from someone who is a chartered engineer!!!

Margot Finn@eicathomefinn.bsky.social

A cheery message from the new minister responsible for research funding for the Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences (and the subjects that the majority of UK taught undergraduate and Masters students study).

this stuff is so fucking tedious, right wing one simple trick rubbish

Otto English@ottoenglish.bsky.social

A Reform government would force schools to sing the National Anthem and if they don't oblige parents will be encouraged to report them to the authorities. Yeah that's not like really scary and authoritarian schoolsweek.co.uk/reform-there...

old media cannot comprehend new

Joel Morris@gralefrit.bsky.social

I pitched a show two years ago about this to Radio 4, to tie in with the release. They said they had already made a programme about computers fairly recently.

buy all my pans from a kitchen supply shop and it's laughable how much better they are than equivalent priced stuff from a supermarket or department store

A fine example of why the BBC should not publish vox-pops (“‘Bus fare cut is no good for those who drive’ says Durham man” is literally the headline here) without challenge or context. Buses, famously the preserve of the managerial classes.

the lads groupchat only gets it's name updated for really momentous occasions. it was previously "In Sarina We Trust" and "England Midfield Fiasco", but it's finally found something worthy for this world cup performance so far

you: I hate England because Harry Kane played in a charity golf match with Trump me: have you checked the Wikipedia page of the Norwegian goalscorer

I'm the I Know A Guy Guy and the most important thing is also being a Guy Who People Know

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

probably a tasteless hot take on how liberal America's reaction to the red card thing parallels its inability to see why everyone in Europe got so worked up about Greenland, if you want it
