I can't help but notice that Donald Trump isn't suing anyone calling him a paedophile and rapist. Bit odd, you think he'd be all over that.

Incredible career.

I hope the makers of the John Lewis Christmas ad slipped Charlotte Wells fifty quid after taking a wee bit of inspiration from the climactic scene of Aftersun (and then adding six tonnes of schmaltz, as is their bent)

Good to hear First Minister of Scotland @johnswinney.bsky.social say that the BBC controversy should entail right-wing placeman Robbie Gibb no longer being on the BBC Board of Directors. Gibb commissioned the Michael Prescott report & has long played a destabilsing role in the BBC.

Trouble is, the BBC has been infiltrated by the former, inc foreign governments and weaponised religions, taking up positions that should be filled by the latter.

What will stop Trump's wrong headed fossil fuel enthusiasm in its tracks is not COP30 but the fact that the big oil firms are voting with their feet for renewables.

BBC Reporting Scotland (as being shite!) this morning "Ullapool to Stornoway ferry can take some cars this morning, but not freight...'
Other than the 20,000 folk on the Outer Hebrides, nobody in Scotland needs to know this. What's the latest on the Dekebone roundabout btw?

Just occurred that the BBC is the most literal example of Conquest's third law in that it is actually run by a cabal of its enemies.

@thesnpmedia.bsky.social Hello ScotGov this is a good idea!
In the Netherlands, unused spaces beneath bridges are being quietly transformed into stacks of sleeping capsules compact, secure shelters offering overnight refuge to those without homes. These minimalist pods are built from insulated materials, weatherproofed against rain & cold

The first time I saw GHOST DOG: WAY OF THE SAMURAI (1999, dir. Jim Jaramusch) I had no idea what to make of it, only that I had seen something special-- it remains one of my favourite movies with Forest Whitaker's stunning performance as a samurai influenced hitman owning every frame...
