If I have one tip for people coming to Scotland, it’s this - slow down. Take the back roads. Don’t rush from the airport or the ferry to get up north.

There’s so much to see on the way. Here’s Forres, Dundee, Fife, and Angus.
A row of colourful beach huts face the sea. Two women are walking past, on the stony path near the beach. In the background you can see the hills of the Black Isle. Dundee railway bridge is silhouetted in the rising sun. The sky glows orange and gold, reflected in the River Tay. A row of cottages in a fishing village in Fife in the glow of the setting sun. They have red roofs and whitewashed walls - some of them are in the typical red stone that’s commonly seen in this area. A small country road lined with autumnal trees and shrubs.

The top result when I search "eat dirt" (for translation reasons) is a resounding "Yes! You should totally eat dirt!" Immediately followed by a "Hey, maybe don't eat dirt." I feel we, as a society, have gone astray.

Ich hoffe doch mal, dass das Verhältnis von Karl-Theodor Maria Nikolaus Johann Jacob Philipp Franz Joseph Sylvester Buhl-Freiherr von und zu Guttenberg zu Jeffrey Epstein aktuell journalistisch ausführlich beleuchtet wird...

The Epstein files show Epstein making significant payments to foreign government officials through their spouses. In addition to Lord Mandelson, he also paid the wife of German defense minister Karl zu Guttenberg. And others.

Who else could rhyme 'buttresses' with 'confesses'?
topazmcgonagall.bsky.social William McGonagall Quotes Bot @topazmcgonagall.bsky.social · 1d
"...that your central girders would not have given way,
At least many sensible men do say,
Had they been supported on each side with buttresses,
At least many sensible men confesses,
For the stronger we our houses do build,
The less chance we have of being killed."

Als ich vor 30 Jahren nach Deutschland kam, habe ich an der VHS deutsch gelernt. Zwei Jahre später habe ich eine Ausbildung gemacht. Heute bin ich voll integriert – beruflich, privat und im Alltag. Just saying.

Das Jobcenter verpflichtet Menschen zu Integrationskursen, ihre Anträge werden aber auf Druck von Minister Dobrindt nicht bearbeitet und die Kurs gestrichen. Die Folge: Sanktionen vom Jobcenter und von der Ausländerbehörde.

Mietwucher-rant: dachte, ich wohne in der Provinz & nicht in Hamburg od München, aber mal ganz ehrlich – 800 (achthundert) € für eine 1-(ein)-Z-30qm-Whg.?? Das ist aktuell der *Durchschnitt*. Vor 5 J. waren noch 60qm für 500 warm drin. 2Z unter 1k ist nun fast utopisch. Wer soll das bitte bezahlen??

This account posted one of Pam’s paintings a couple of years ago. I loved her work so much, I bought a print. She and her partner were so kind and helpful when the print got lost in the post.

Sadly, Pam passed away a while back.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

I turned off the (many) toggles to see less AI in Pinterest.

AI still shows up (annoyingly) but it’s better.

I felt my heart lift in just seeing far more art that is made by people again.

Not just banning hidden handles - insisting on a mechanical release inside and outside all doors.

Bloody good idea.

A website is never 'done', but the redesign is mostly complete, and I'm quite pleased with it. I'm sure I'll now find loads of mistakes. (also something weird happening with the social media previews, but will get around to sorting that!)
