Walter was more than Chekov. He was a writer, a teacher, a thoughtful man, and a loyal friend. To the fans who loved him for so many years, thank you. He loved you too. Rest well, my dear friend. Keep navigating a steady course. – George

Brave Andy continues the U-turn tradition of Starmer. Hurry up and call an election, so we can boot you and your hurty feels back to Zionist Weatherfield, chuck.

The Labour or Fascism panic isn't very convincing if you look at Farage's plummeting popularity.

Watching Farage live introduce the Reform 'Economic Rescue Plan' something seemed amiss. He seemed tired, oddly flat & lacking his usual vim. Tellingly he riffed at length about the 2010 & 2015 UK elections & Brexit - as if he has become a nostalgia act reliving his greatest hits.

The allegations against Donald Trump for sexual assault seem to have a common denominator: He is physically violent and intentionally inflicts pain on his victims. He likes to slam women and girls up against doors and walls as he roughly manhandles them. Donald Trump is a sick and twisted person.

It is annoying enough that I have to download an app. I do not want to be told the "strong" alpha-numeric password doesn't match when you WON'T LET ME SEE IT. I don't think any woman invented anything so stupid- security so secure that it's hidden from me.

Okay, this is usually something that would happen in a country the Sainted West condescends to, not the heartland of the European project. How the mighty obnoxious have fallen.

Actor/writer Walter Koenig has passed away at 90. He was best known as Chekov on Star Trek; an officer who rose from Starfleet ensign to Commander. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/w...

Hi @micheal-martin.bsky.social, this is illegal. Can you ask your Minister for Justice to send his guys down to arrest the pilots and give asylum to the renderees? Thanks.

A guy with a thick Soviet accent in the middle of a major US city asking where the "nuclear wessels" are at the height of the Cold War. Will always make me laugh. RIP, Chekov.

Just got an email from BBC. "Ever wondered what your TV Licence funds?" I replied: Please don't thank me I never watch or listen to the BBC. But I still have to pay for your anti Scotland propaganda or get fined for owning a TV receiver. Please remove me from your mailing list.

🌌 Our Universe has more galaxies than Carl Sagan ever imagined ✨ bigthink.com/starts-with-... Forget billions and billions. When it comes to the number of galaxies in the Universe, both theorists' and observers' estimates are too low.

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

Monstrous beyond all reckoning. The US is using remote sensing *designed for humanitarian purposes* for the opposite purpose, potentially drowning civilians en masse. Trump hates Somalis. His troops appear to be exploiting the weather to help slaughter them. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Brave, Brave Andy.

Another thing that hasn't changed is the fact that many in the UK seem to think it's the EU that needs to change in order for the UK to join, rather than the UK.

Are you seeing this America? 👇👇

The 21st century, there.

RESISTANCE IS JUSTIFIED WHEN PEOPLE ARE OCCUPIED

I don’t know folks, it seems to me that the kids might have been right about their ruling class being full of deeply racist, misogynist sex offenders. Perhaps that whole Cancel Culture panic was badly wrong, and apologies are in order? Not least because it was obviously vexatious *at the time*.

The reason the English voter would do that comes down to English Exceptionalism and the loss of the totoms, symbols and status harking back to imperial might would be lost. No UK* No Union Jack* No Commonwealth* No permanent seat on the UN security Council* 3/

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.

Aw shit. The other wee Chekov was absolutely delightful, but died tragically young.

Nigel Farage, 62, on Brussels: "Do we want a bunch of old men who we can't vote for, can't get rid of in Brussels, making the big decisions?" (the average age of an MEP is 50)

The British Broadcasting Cringe. Relentlessly undermining Scots and Scotland since 1922.

I’m not even being facetious here: a really high profile all-media assault on the BBC as a den of racist hatred, with fingers pointed at all kinds of famous and important people, shouting al lthe usual fun stuff, would be very helpful. Let’s see how committed everyone is to this bit.

A long, long wait at Perth meant I missed the Elgin train at Inverness, but I got the next one. Must've been a cancelled train at Perth; crowds of people got on to a 3-carriage train and stood all the way. The window for connection is always tiny, storm or nae storm.

Cannae wait to see North Andy in his ermine as Baron Manchester, and his wee media fanclub in Scotland all queuing up for a selfie.

Still going on. Twenty minutes uninterrupted coverage so far. Robert Jenrick is currently talking about sex chat bots.

Just realised that more than anyone else, the political figure Truss most resembles is Keir Starmer: he too was a clueless bimbo hired to do the bidding of a bunch of malignant back office swine, only too happy to do and say whatever they wanted if it meant he got his turn in the big chair.
