I also know the same joke has been made about furry conventions, but given the number of furs I've seen here my point still stands.

A wargaming convention and a horror convention on the same day at the SEC?

Pretty sure someone could wipe out half Scotland's tech infrastructure on this very day if they so wished.

(Please don't though - I'm at spooky mofo central with @mjstoakes.bsky.social...)

Freaking @mjstoakes.bsky.social out by saying that a significant number of the crowd at Gorillaz tonight probably weren't even born when their first album came out.

Come to think, there's probably plenty who weren't born when Demon Days came out four years after that!

Capybaras 'stolen' from farm in Forres The owners say they are in contact with the police about the

Just to clarify - even though these adorable big buggers are one of my favourite animals, and though I used to live in Moray (and work in Forres specifically) - this absolutely wasn't me.

Goddamn do I want one though.

A Final Farewell | Trans World Sport YouTube video by Trans World Sport

Damn - didn't know it was ending! A cornerstone of tiny Andrew's Saturday morning viewing along with Gazzetta Football Italia...

Brian Wilson as the interim makes me a little wary. An intelligent and well-connected guy that loves the club given he's written several official history books about us, but he's been a director since 2005 so around the board long enough to have potentially been infected by their fecklessness.

A nice early Christmas present to be sure.

Hope we get someone competent in in the long term, but asking Celtic to do anything competent of late feels like asking a pig not to roll around in its own filth...

REFERENDUM THE MORRA 😭❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I think that game just aged me about 20 years!

Nonetheless, AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

Screenshot of story from BBC news outlining Nottinghamshire County Council - a Reform-led council - spending £75000 on new flags.

Definitely not beating the 'flag shaggers' allegations with stories like this...

The only reason we should be worried is if they're making their necks guillotine-proof...

This writer must be having the most batshit day

Hm. Seemed he reached the 'find out' stage of FAFO.

Oh well. Thots and pears...

(BTW, I'm not saying he F'd around regarding 2A rights. I'm saying he F'd around by openly being a right wing piece of shit and assuming no-one would take a shot at him for being a right wing piece of shit.)

It's a shame @mhairiblack.bsky.social is no longer in Westminster - it'd be as fun to have watched her scudding this New Labour parasite at the dispatch box as much as she did at the ballot box a decade ago...

I know we're a club born from charity, but that doesn't mean that every penny is a prisoner and needs to be hoarded for some philanthropic endeavour (not counting the ridiculous enormous bonuses paid to the useless likes of Lawwell and Nicholson, of course).

And I'm not just talking about the Biscuit Tin days of the Whites and Kellys. Even the pre-war execs were at it with screwing Jimmy McGrory after he refused a move to Arsenal, or selling Jimmy Delaney after reneging on a promise to give him a pay rise after the war.

Is there something in the water in the Parkhead board room that turns executives into blithering morons who need to pinch every single penny? We have a history of higher-ups who refuse to open the reserves to spend when we absolutely need to. What the hell are we playing at?!

Scotland's birth rate falls to lowest level since 1855 The number of babies born in Scotland fell to record low levels last year, with fertility rates also dropping.

Almost like forcing people to grind themselves to exhaustion for every penny doesn't exactly make them feel romantic, want to fuck and create more little wage slaves to prop up this failing system. Little ones that are painfully expensive to keep at that...

Strangely they haven’t mentioned his ethnicity or immigration status. Ah yes, we only do that when we want to inspire a far right riot.

It was Konstantin Chernenko - Soviet leader immediately before Gorbachev - btw, and the music video was Two Tribes by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

Chernenko only lasted a year, and his predecessor (Andropov) only lasted two. Almost like putting geriatrics in charge is a bad idea...

Thought of the day:

It's kind of wild to me that there was a leader of a world superpower whose entire cultural footprint is being depicted in a wrestling match in a music video.

Studied, signed and sent. Keep fighting the good fight, dear Foxbot! ✊

A screenshot of an e-mail/letter written to oppose the UK Supreme Court Decision; Screenshot reads: "Dear [MP’S NAME], This letter will be regarding FWS vs. The Scottish Ministers – link to judgement here: https://supremecourt.uk/uploads/uksc_2024_0042_judgment_aea6c48cee.pdf I’m sure by now you’ll have heard of the recent UK Supreme Court ruling with regards to the legal definition of a woman. Through the course of this, I would appreciate it if you could keep in mind the following analysis performed by Jess O’Thomson. They’re a wonderful writer and their article on the matter explains a lot of the issues that our community has been faced with and that the Supreme Court did not consider Here is the link to Jess’ work: https://www.wearequeeraf.com/uk-supreme-court-rules-that-trans-women-arent-women-under-the-equality-act-2010/ - “UK Supreme Court Rules That Trans Women Aren’t Women under the Equality Act 2010” The history of transgender people has always come into conflict with regressive ideologies and they are often among the first targets of it as a “symbol of degeneracy”. They are the acceptable target of hate – they are the social group most currently vulnerable to fascism – despite what For Women Scotland would have you believe. To quote from the draft of “On Defining Sex in Law” written for For Women Scotland by Micheal Foran; “Even Nazi Germany had a degree of tolerance for gender non-conformity.”1 – this is a gross lie and while it did not make it to the final draft of the letter it is both still hosted on the forwomen.scot website - and it speaks to the intent behind this group’s actions. This is not a campaign for truth or righteousness, this is a campaign of lies and hate. This is a campaign of misinformation perpetrated by those who would rather their son be a corpse than their daughter."

HEY FELLOW #UK CITIZEN!

Are you also furious about the #SupremeCourt decision on #TransRights for #Transgender people? #Trans liberation et al?

Oh good, IT TOO!

SO WHY NOT SEND THIS 2680 WORD LETTER TO YOUR #MP?

!!!!!!!!

What to change is in the comment below this one!

Spending so much time up at the hospital lately (long story) has introduced me to - and given me a love of - the (UK version of) Jeopardy.

Knew that the US one was good, but only from seeing clips. The young lad that's reigning champ is ridiculously good.

Really wish I could apply to go on...

Ah, fuck it. I finally caved...

Here’s a quick sketch as a thank-you for embedding that verse in my head ALL BLOODY DAY…

being shy and neurodivergent means that i struggle with keeping up with friendships but please know i consider so many of you friends i’m just really freaking strange and a quiet observer

Fuck them. My hatred for the DWP knows no bounds. Utterly infuriating shower of shite.

Now Pulp tickets for my birthday.
