The strange story of ZLX - a Glasgow tax firm with no tax qualifications, promising clients they can claim tax relief for fridges and vegan doughnut recipes, suing clients who complain, and threatening its critics with lawsuits.

TEESWORKS scandal continues (Teesside Freeport)
Where is Labour on this?
Promoting more Freeports and SEZs when none of them have proved in the slightest bit beneficial to anyone but investors
Tell me otherwise if you know any genuinely “good” stories which aren’t number juggling

I used to call this The Emerald Woods. They were a ten minute walk from my home. Always eerily beautiful. They are situated at the bottom of Trencrom Hill near Carbis Bay. Be careful if walking your dog there, for there is a hidden old mine shaft! 🌳 🐕🦺

It took 13 years to build a following of nearly 300k on Twitter, and that reach was really useful for charity stuff and so on.
It will take a lot of time to replicate that here, but I'd rather that than have to endure a daily hate-fest. I'm capable of scrapping in one, but It's just not interesting

If you're interviewing a Trump apologist in the UK media/politics sphere, don't ask about trade, tariffs or even NATO *until* you've asked about the coup attemt, the sex offending & the felonies. These people claim to care about all the things that Trump denigrates daily. Call them out on it.

Northern lights appreciation post! Did you know that the aurora is not always green?
The rainbow of colors can be caused by combination of reasons, including the chemical composition of the atmosphere, and the speed and density of the solar particles.

Therefore
I AM AN IMMIGRANT

How many times do I need to say this?
These are not expats, they are immigrants.
You don’t “expat” somewhere, you emigrate, and that makes you an immigrant.
I have never heard anyone refer to “Bangladeshi Expats” or “Polish Expats”, it’s always immigrants, so why not here?

I have one of those Build-a-Bear Frodo’s and my dog has decided it actually belongs to her so she just walks around all day carrying Frodo-bear in her mouth very gently and then snuggling with it when she sleeps. What kind of Sam Gamgee behavior is this 😭

Pretty much every serious photographer here tries to capture photos of the volcano and the northern lights together. Sometimes, they succeed quite well ;) Photos from Wioleta Gorecka, taken near Reykjanesvíti.

This has to be a sexual fetish for newspaper people at this point let’s just face facts
Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if it just creates an echo chamber for the left?

They got up; and after Piglet had sat down again, because he didn’t know the wind was so strong, they started off. They held on to each other shouting, “Isn’t it?” and “What?” When they got to Kanga’s house they were so buffeted that they stayed for lunch. ~A.A.Miln
