There was no state. Who does she think crucified him, an anarchist collective?

Very sorry to hear that Dave Hewitt died earlier this week, the man behind The Angry Corrie hillwalkers fanzine and a great account of walking the Scottish watershed, a nice bit of writing which you can read (and other of his work) here web.archive.org/web/20060923...

Can we all have a moment please for @thewliss.bsky.social who has pursued this outcome, doggedly, for over a decade.

The two child limit and the rape clause should never have been on the statute books.
👀Looks like this government is scrapping the two child limit! This is good news for the thousands of children who will be lifted out of poverty and for the economy. Previous NEF analysis found this would reduce the economic cost of child poverty by £3.2bn a year.

Should treat these arseholes like the Enoch Burke fella in Ireland, interdicts then the jail, then ramp up the fines. Maybe their pal Yaxley-Lennon will share some of his crowdfunding grift.

Not only is this itself cool, it turns out they have monitoring kit at Dalmarnock as part of a geothermal drilling project to get heat from old mines, which is cool as well.

Proper breakdown on BBC2 with apology caption, light jazz library music and occasional continuity announcements, just like the old days.

It’s a wee thing but bumming about “Glasgow’s biggest ever group of socialist councillors” is just flat out wrong; 1992 for example saw 2 Militant Labour and 2 Ind Labour elected to the district council.
Want to influence and affect decisions that impact you in Glasgow? Come to our Councillors' Assembly next Wednesday, November 26, to help decide what Glasgow's socialist councillors vote on in the City Chambers.

Almost like sticking this stuff behind a paywall is bad for football, bad for fans and bad for the country overall and getting it on council telly is 100% A Good Thing

This will quite simply end up with senior crew locked in the brig after the captain cracks a line about goal difference.
There's no way a ship full of Scotland fans is getting across the Atlantic without half of them dying of alcohol poisoning.

23% of this country are Reform voters and bams.
Not only are 74% of Scots happy about Scotland's qualification for the 2026 World Cup, their first since 1998, but those in England are nearly as likely to be happy about Scotland's qualification (40%) as their own (48%)

The BBC Scotland commentary for Kenny McLean’s halfway line goal is glorious. Stuff of dreams. 🔥

Congratulations #Scotland, see you at the World Cup.

Need a group with games in Toronto, although 40,000 jaked up boozehounds versus the US national guard would give us a decent away win.

Blog update: The Shop Assistants spent a comparatively brief amount of time in the limelight, but "Safety Night" got to number one in the indie charts for 3 weeks in March 1986. Their last shot before they signed to a major, it feels like the doors of indiepop being kicked right open.
75. Shop Assistants - Safety Net (53rd and 3rd)
All the singles to top the NME Indie Charts since its launch in 1981, complete with an overview of the other music in the charts each week.

Maybe nothing sums up the cultural vapidity of Tech like the fact they sprinted past doing Torment Nexus stuff that's *like* a Black Mirror episode, and straight to shit that's explicitly *from* Black Mirror episodes, promoted with ads which are lit, shot and set-designed like Black Mirror episodes.
Nightmarish idea for a startup tbh

QANON CULTIST IN 2017: "In this 1,879 page thread I will unravel the byzantine system of codewords and phrases the global elite use to mask their pedophile cabal."

JEFFREY EPSTEIN WRITING AN EMAIL AT THE SAME TIME: "helo its me jeff had fun cmmitting sex crimes wit u lst weeknd"
pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes
