Scotland

Ham? Who needs ham? Must be an easier way to get some ham, but is there a more fun way?

I was talking with an Aiberdonian at the weekend. They are all for it up there. Edinburgh with a different opinion. London where it will matter however. A big test for Burnham this week

The Burryman is a very strange and fun tradition, great to see it thrive!

Day late, oops! Will debug this week (maybe). Been out at shows and shit heavy this week myself. Who has something to rant, share, or gush about? We want it all!

Can't be fucked with any news today. Here's a shot from The Worlds today instead. A mighty fine day too

Glimpse being right in Scotland. So much cloud cover! I did get about 30s of using the eclipse specs at 70%ish, anyone get any snaps?

D'aww, look at the kittens!

Ultra I&C provides communications tech solutions and mission software for military and government forces worldwide.

Ultra I&C’s parent company Booz Allen describes itself as an “advanced technology company” that builds “commercial-grade products and solutions for America’s most critical defence, civil, and national security priorities”.

Footage posted on social media by People Against Genocide – a group that says it is “taking direct action to stop the UK-Israel weapons trade” – appears to show two people inside the damaged building.

This isn't a tough choice. A very modest amount of global oil will do next to nothing for our economy. Even in Aberdeen, one field will do very little. Not drilling is easy, listen to your people Andy!

I looked my glasses out already! Do enjoy on Wednesday peoples

Bot didn't work again, that's what I get fer fiddling! Fit like folks?

Gonna see some shows myself this weekend, enjoy folks!

Slow tourism. This I like

Islanders love a guga. This is a blow culturally, make no mistake. The DuoLingo gaidhlig course mentions guga every other lesson it feels like! But it is a win environmentally: bird flu has been decimating populations for years, they need at least time to recover and heard immunity to be built back up

Mmm, cheesey fuel. Probably not commercially viable, but who knows yet?

Not sure I believe it! Might have to wonder down it just to make sure

A'reet, pals. It's Friday night, an' the midsummer air feels right. Are ye gettin' yer berries for the wee bairns?

Feeling the need for metal tonight, so sharing my current favourite band. Hellripper. And what a name! Still yet to see them myself, shall have to remedy

Keep the heid nutters, wind is going to be what is exported. There will be a McCrone report detailing this in Whitehall somewhere

As an anti-racist festival born out of community solidarity, the packed programme is once again brimming with grassroots arts, heritage trails, live music, film screenings, and radical discussions.

This was supposed to be the biggest gathering of the far-right in Scotland for years. It had been carefully orchestrated. Speakers from neo-nazi groups Patriotic Alternative and Homeland Party addressed the crowd, as did Reform UK councillor Audrey Dempsey. Sharing a platform with Nazis is never a good look. But with questions about policing in Glasgow ongoing the anti-fascist forces far outnumbered the far-right.

The day did not turn out the way the far Right hoped. A group of around 500 people, mostly men, came to their rally, but there was no mass turn out from the targeted Glasgow housing schemes.

The counter-protest quickly grew to around 4000 people. The mood of that side was in stark contrast to the anger within the far-Right space. In a long line stretching from the top corner to a gate near the bottom of the park, anti-racist men and women, young and elderly, chanted: ‘There are many, many more us than you’ and sang and laughed at the absurd appearance of several of the angry men on the grass.

Some good news for us today. Seeing beavers in the wild is pretty special

A bit faster than Starmer managed at least. But words are cheap!
