Our latest virtual museum environment - an art gallery - was inspired by this very building. A beauty.

It’s by no means a broad-spectrum litmus test, but banning Pratchett has to set off some kind of international klaxon.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Inheriting your political backbone from Hugh Grant’s fictional PM is notably pish, still.

The Ralston XI?

“Made by” is the key phrase there: plainly untrue, but the cultural worldview that talks this way is what allows them to be so powerfully awful.

That looks like a fairly big legal land mine to have stepped on. Good.

Wholesome pub life for the weans. Fleadh Cheoil, Wexford.

I’m not nominating anything, obvs. But if we decide not to charge students for tuition (good!) we need to find the money from somewhere and not just pretend it isn’t required. Each Eng Uni gets about £4k more per student per year than Scottish ones and that is unsustainable.

This is something to be proud of only as long as Scottish Universities are still being adequately funded for the students they teach. But they are not.

Congratulations, Tim! Very well deserved.

In 1967, philosopher of language Michael Dummett and his wife, the author Ann Dummett, were arrested for picketing against racial discrimination, charged with public disorder, but acquitted upon an official admission that the police, not protesters, had obstructed passage.

You obviously listened closely to the “Brits Out” message and indeed got out of Britland.

Ah.

Nope.

This is the most faux macho silliness I have ever seen on Bluesky.

Watch sleepytime and try and type that again.

Fake news. AI slop. Cannot actually be real.

This has spurred an existential crisis in me, by Toutatis!

I’d say “what have we become?” But I just can’t own the “we”. Fucksakes.

I've made a series of individual match posters for Celtic's European Cup run in 1967 before, but never a standalone design until now. Prints available on the shop if you fancy one! madebyfrankie.bigcartel.com

@kermodeandmayo.bsky.social did I miss “Deep Cover” review? Or is it too new/too streaming-y?

I thought it was a total riot. Haven’t laughed that hard at a film since… Booksmart, maybe?

I appear to be morphing into the pikachu format myself!

Deary me. Dysfunction abounds in Celtic recruitment.
