Looks like Trump missed out on the prize again this year. Maybe he’ll have better luck next time. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ck...

I’m no royalist, but wouldn’t it be good if King Charles decided to visit a lifeboat station and praise the outstanding work done by their volunteers? He’s in the north east at the moment and Fraserburgh is just an hour from Balmoral. It would be a really positive signal to the RNLI! #RNLI

Are we great again yet?

They’ve started demolition work on the Caledonian Brewery. In years gone by, I spent many a happy day at their beer festivals. It’s sad to see it like this.

Remember when a Perthshire landowner blocked access to 4 Munros for 2 months last year? 🗻 Well, sadly he's at it again - and we really need your help. ✅ Sign our petition today at www.ramblers.org.uk/glenlyon @scotways.com @walkhighlands.co.uk @ramblers.org.uk

@merchistoncc.bsky.social @spokes.org.uk Some good news, they’re installing the new deck on the Harrison Road railway bridge. Finally !

@spokes.org.uk I was cycling along Gilmore Place & I saw these road markings. It looks like they’re planning on digging it up ☹️. They only resurfaced it a few months ago. Why oh why would they dig it up 🤦‍♂️ @edinreporter.bsky.social

WTAF Wordle ? That’s not a word. Not even in America 🙄. Wordle 1,721 X/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩

Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program. Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program. A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.

Errr, there red stuff in Greyfriar’s Bobby 😳. Is it a protest against something ? It’s so hard to tell these days.

Snow has reached Edinburgh. I hope to set out to Waitrose for supplies. I may be some time.

If your social media posts don't get you — and your immediate family — banned from visiting America you’ve not been doing it right.

Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left. And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil

I’d heard the name Syd Scroggie. So, was pleased to see this wonderful interview with him, from another age. Great wee story about hoody crows at the end ! www.instagram.com/reel/DR_v3N8...

Get away from it all on the NC500. Just make sure you don’t spend any money in the local economy.

Good morning, from the Union Canal.

Worst Rapture ever.

Good luck for the Rapture tomorrow, everyone. I’m kind of regretting doing a washing today, could turn out to be a waste of time. www.northjersey.com/story/news/2...

For posterity, here’s the load bearing structure of the bridge over the old railway on Harrison Rd. Big iron beams supporting brick arches along the length of the bridge. I think it’s very cool. Sadly, they’re not repairing it. They’re going to remove the whole deck & replace it with a concrete one.

I’m safely back on dry land in Aberdeen, after a rough crossing from Lerwick. We played tunes in the ferry 🎻🎶🙂

Current mood.

Oh ! This might just be a good explanation of what’s wrong with social media.

If there’s any Dick Gaughan fans out there, please consider contributing to this fundraiser. It’s to help him get the rights back, to release some of his earlier music. gofund.me/c4fead32

Maybe the stupid FIFA club World Cup thingy wasn’t quite so bad after all !

I’m petrified about today’s science news. Genetically modifying crabs to have cheetah genes? This could go sideways fast.

#BestSeatOnTheBus and *very* nice to be out of the rain !

It seems like the birds that crapped on this car, didn’t read the owner’s wee note !

Not my photo, but … The Filmhouse is open again 😁

Just saw a guy wearing a Spizz Energi tshirt walking down Dalry Rd. It’s fair made my day !

Happy Daniel Hannon Day to all who celebrate it. I hope you all enjoy the fireworks as we mark perhaps the worst piece of political forecasting going. www.reaction.life/p/britain-lo...

I’m convinced that Meta AI on Facebook is utterly pointless. All it does is ask stupid questions about posts. And then, it answers its questions by duplicating the post, prefixed with “apparently”. Hardly the dream of world changing machine intelligence that we were promised.

I have a new hero. This owl stole a child's hobby horse and flies around with it!

Long shot, but does anyone know how to get rid of these weird AI prompts from Facebook ?

Ladies & gentlemen. The fight we’ve all been waiting for. In the red corner, Mister Elon Musk. In the blue corner, Mister Donald Trump. This should be spectacular.

Sad news. RIP www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/6770...

The UK is a relatively low tax economy This means the revenue raised by Government as a proportion of GDP has been low historically Less funding raised for infrastructure/healthcare/education etc A thread 🧵

The council found that they’d left a road in Shandon open, by mistake. Thankfully, Ogilvie Terrace is closed now.

An important life skill to develop is the ability to not have an opinion on a thing. This is because there are many things which it is not necessary for you to have an opinion on. A related skill is recognizing that the list of things on which an opinion is required is different for everyone.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.
