Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!

Grand day wandering around some little travelled areas of Glen Banchor moderating Mountain Leader course. Tad damp by end of the day but saw two golden eagles effortlessly gliding high up up despite the wind.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Police Scotland have issued a statement after a far-right group staged a fascist-style 'drill square' at Edinburgh Castle ⬇️

These guys have made some great videos in the past, but surely, this is the all-time planet-applicable GOAT.

The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

I was having conversations with journalists just a few months ago about whether democracy was doomed. Look at this year: Orban defeated. Vukic defeated. Bolsonaro Jr defeated. Trump heading to likely defeat in midterms. That’s the beauty of democracy. Voters can respond. Don’t count it out yet.

I can’t tell you how much it distresses me that journalism like this gets so little attention in this county. If I write about some culture war nonsense, it’s gobbled up. But work like this which questions the very nature of our democracy - and is about life and death? It’s so often met with silence

Old but still very valid explanation of this approach www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-engl...

Britons should use money we haven't got to buy food the country doesn't grow, store it in homes that don't exist, in spare rooms that got taxed away, so we can survive when reservoirs nobody built run dry because of a climate the govt won't protect. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Well done Aldi. 👏👏👏

Remember all the wailing about Turning Point simply being a bunch of young activists … well …

Turning Point UK is a British offshoot of Turning Point USA. I’m assuming all those media commentators who painted Charlie Kirk as a saint will be all over this investigation as well…

Easdale Brothers - McGills Buses - Bus Privatisation When the UK government privatised and deregulated the bus industry under the Transport Act 1985, it led to fierce competition known as the "Bus Wars." Across Scotland, established and new operators engaged in aggressive, predatory practices. 1/

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Zelenskyy: “When our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on social media platforms. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations. This proves Europe is not the source of all the problems. Is not making things more difficult. Russia is."

I said in my speech to conference, the RNLI are the best of us. For those lucky enough to have parents volunteering with RNLI, I hope they feel nothing but pride in their parents.

Of all the many evil betrayals I’ve seen in the last 60 years I’ve been alive, I’m struggling to think of any that match what Trump and Musk did to innocent Ukrainian citizens while Putin was sending missiles this way. A trio to live on in infamy well after I am gone

It is actually disgusting

The Telegraph must be so proud of helping me pretend that the main takaway from the exposure of racist Reform councillors is that investigative journalists should be prosecuted.

Looks like another Reform member caught on camera saying racist things is blaming Racism Pills again. "Councillor Miller told us he was heavily medicated at the time due to a chronic pain condition, and he has now resigned from Reform UK." www.itv.com/news/2026-10...

Leaving X has, I'm pretty sure, hit my bookings and career. But it comes at the massive bonus of a) my own mental wellbeing and b) not providing free content for the owner of Starlink:

I have never seen coverage of a live trial, one involving allegations of multiple sex attacks on multiple women, framed in a more distasteful way. It's not 'Fame under fire' it's a rape trial. And it involves actual women. And this from the *checks notes* BBC

Nigel Farage's Reform UK has once again being caught with their jocks around their ankles. As an undercover ITV investigation highlighted the racist, misogynistic & Islamophobic antics of several of their Cllrs. Alan Feeney, Chris Whelan (Irish names) & Jamie Campbell. Some have resigned.

JON STEWART: “So in the FUTURE we WILL use A.I. to cure diseases… but right now it’s mostly murder, surveillance, and surge pricing for the McRib — What a trade! I’m getting the sense you guys might be full of shit.”

It's like watching Bart Simpson doing a classroom presentation in front of Mrs Krabappel after zero preparation.

"Dear Diary, There were six by-elections in England and Scotland this week and Reform lost all of them. Two of them were seats we previously held. The problem with running councils is that people can see how useless we are."

The most disappointing video you’ll see today.

You really can’t make this shit up.

If anyone suggests that the state of the UK now has fuck all to do with what this bitch done during her tenure in No10 needs to give their heads a fukin wobble. #ToryDeindustrialisation #Austerity #CostOfLiving #WinterOfDiscontent
