Scotland's busiest railway station closed after huge fire rips through historic building — STV News All trains cancelled and businesses in the area destroyed after blaze breaks out at vape shop in Glasgow city centre.

Presumably we’re all thinking lithium batteries from dodgy, unregulated vapes being the cause of the #Glasgow #Fire…?

A packet of K-Pop Demon Hunters Shin Ramyun noodles.

Shin RamYUM is right there! Surely someone markets these noodles as RamYUM?!

The whole schtick is his alarm being a digital radio flip clock that plays "I've got You Babe" every morning, what's with the wind-up clock?

@gralefrit.bsky.social @dereklandy.bsky.social @simoncaine.bsky.social I think this might be right up your street. If so would you consider sharing this indie-writer book project with your network? Thanks!

The chutzpah of X claiming that any information on its misinformation-firehose platform is “99% accurate”…

Our Tesco was also selling poppies, and I’ll put money on them selling Easter eggs as soon as they’ve milked all they can from Christmas. Funny that, Capitalist companies selling whatever legally they can to people who want to buy. It’s almost like those reich wingers are talking out of their arses.

Of course they didn’t do an asbestos audit. First thing I thought when I saw the bulldozers knocking down the East Wing without a shroud over it (plus America’s adversaries will be scrutinising every pixel to see how secure the White House is).

💯 It’s way too carefully constructed. Feels workshopped and tested. A bunch of consultants have just helped Britain slide further to the right and they’re patting themselves on the back for being clever.

I'd be surprised if Lam came up with this speech on her own. “Culturally coherent” sounds like a term a team of Tory HQ marketers, spin doctors and focus groups spent days crafting (up there with "take back control" & “legitimate concerns”) to socialise some new acceptable-in-public racist terms.

“Culturally coherent” sounds like a term a team of marketers, spin doctors and focus groups spent days crafting. Up there with “legitimate concerns”. And Katie Lam, with her refugee family giving her cover was chosen to deliver it. The cynicism, xenophobia and racism behind this makes me vomit.

From the movie "Raise the Titanic", the bow of the Titanic breaks the surface of the water.

Yeah, think that scene from "Raise the Titanic" (that came out 2 years later). That's what we wanted 😜Seriously, though, it didn't disappoint. The Blue Peter build up made it a magical experience.

Has Apple’s “Genmoji” featured ever worked for anyone? I think it’s generated a result once for me and the result was like a Star Trek transporter failure. Most of the time I get “Something Isn’t Right”. You’re telling me Apple. So disappointing… 😔

I was 12 and had been avidly watching the Blue Peter coverage so on the day of the lifting my mum let me take the morning off school to watch the live TV coverage. Visiting Mary Rose in the museum a few years ago was a near-spiritual experience. (NB Mary Rose fans need to visit Vasa in Stockholm).

Bro missed “Remembrance of the Daleks” when Ace voiced her disgust at a guest house with a “No Blacks” sign shunning migrants? Likely complains the show is “too woke” now. Sylv and Sophie would be ashamed to be associated with you mate.

Great news! It's a lot of fun!

Brilliant show, loved it, and yes it did come together well. My wife was Sunny who was too shy to tell you that she was American but apparently not too shy to tell you her life story! 😆 Good luck with the tour!

Farage, depressingly is “box office”. I’m constantly bemoaning my wife listening to R4 Today who seem
to have him on daily because he causes “engagement” with people rage listening. It raises the profile of him & his party to the detriment of Libs/Greens who can’t get on to talk actual substance.

So you can unscramble an egg?! 😮

Oh wow, I didn't realise! Doctor Who and Blake's 7 alum also! I'd found a YouTube video that attributed it incorrectly to Jack Parnell! Well that explains a lot. Such a majestic theme for a show about a trucking company! I also remember Jean Anderson being wonderful in Tenko.

Strong memories of that theme tune, and watching it with my parents (my dad was a lorry driver so it resonated). Colin Baker was brilliantly nasty! I got to direct a voice over with Jean Anderson in the 90s and we chatted about The Brothers. She was thrilled I remembered her matriarch performance.

I remember watching the Hillsborough tragedy unfold on live TV. A horrible core childhood memory.
Yep, Mary Rose is quite incredible. But the Vasa in Stockholm (which has a similar story) is a true wonder of the world.

Tudor ship “The Mary Rose” being raised from the Solent.

In Britain we have gentler childhood memories. Folks my age remember the moment in their childhood in 1982 when a 16th century Tudor ship was raised from the bottom of the sea. I personally skived off school to watch it. @maryrosemuseum.bsky.social

There’s always time to watch a little bit of the pud video.

What’s Bond shooting at? Zorin’s behind him…!

Nice. I used to get this a lot. Colour-alone is a poor differentiator, period. Someone else will want another colour for another reason. You just end up with a sea of colour, with no clear CTA.
I had a nice win the other week, & got the team to use the "active" wheelchair icon.

Agreed, despite being a sequel it’s not fair to compare them, but judging it purely on its own merits a it’s a really good film and doesn’t deserve to have been forgotten, which it seems to have been. Ooh that black spot scene is powerful stuff!

EVA Pod The EVA Pod[1] was a type of vehicle present in the junkyard behind Watto's Shop in Mos Espa on Tatooine in 32 BBY.[2] It had previously been a repair and maintenance vehicle pod of unknown origin.[1]...

Wookiepedia credits it as a replica, I’d read elsewhere that as the original props were all famously destroyed by Kubrick that it may have been an 2010 prop.
