Attended this with @axmthompson.bsky.social last night: www.glasgowsciencecentre.org/whats-on/the.... It was a lot of fun, though six drams later (actually seven, Alex gave me one she didnโt like!) I feel the need for a hearty brunch todayโฆ
Thank you to @hermangrech.bsky.social & the Times of Malta for re-publishing my talk on the threats to freedom of the press & for Malta's leadership in understanding where this leads. The brutal murder of the brilliant investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia is a warning to the world.
View across to local hills, with some patches of snow still visible. A pylon and electricity cables are visible on the right; there are sheep in the foreground.
Almost all the snow has gone. #scotland
Per @aoc.bsky.social and co., I'm here to celebrate echo chambers and preaching to the choir. Which sings back, beautifully. "The primary assumption behind the idea that we shouldnโt preach to the choir is that oneโs proper audience is oneโs enemies, not oneโs allies." harpers.org/archive/2017...

Off to sleep, catch up tomorrow!
Our two: Canisp and Suilven.
IRL - pretty good, on the whole. Way up north in the Highlands, since August, lovely to be here. Both working in the same school, a bit unusual, but interesting. How are things for you in the offline world?
Havenโt worked out how to find people through other follows yet, Iโll try do that tomorrow!

Yes, it does feel a bit like that! Not sure how it knows all the photos Iโm going to like, but a lot of photos appearing in my feed, which is nice. And dad jokes (also nice!).
Iโve just been on here a few days, exploring now. Missed you too!
