arguable scotland should have had a penalty mind in that bizarre floor incident. but yes i don't think it was a strong enough contact to merit a foul. stinky game

We've got some of the best quality of player ever to play in dark blue, and they're set up to be so timid and conservative.

Genuinely, Argentina or France will stick double figures on us playing like this.

he's just such a fun player to watch, not often in scotland you get a player who just loves running against players like that as a winger and having fun with it. lovely stuff

My cartoon for this week’s @newscientist.com

A comic strip in six panels. The panels inerlock like a jigsaw with knobs and sockets. Two stick figures walk right to left through all the panels.

Panel 1: Person 1 says "I hear you're working on a new theory."
Panel 2 & 3: Person 2 says: "Yes, I'm calling it the jigsaw model. I think it could change our whole View of reality."
Panel 4: Person 1 says "When Will you publish?:
Panel 5: Person 2 says "But a couple of things are still bothering me." (this piece/panel is a bit squint)
Panel 6: This piece is rotated ninety degees and fits to the others very badly. Person 2 is saying "Soon. I feel like I'm really close"
A second look at the whole comic shows that the last two panels read in the wrong order because the jigsaw has been put together incorrectly.

This is another form of censorship and book banning to my mind: you force an ersatz simplification on young readers while making the original harder & harder to obtain, then tell them the ersatz is better than the real thing (bc it is programmed propaganda pablum).

No, resurrecting the corpse of Anne Frank so 12-year-olds can gossip with her is not how you “make history come alive.” It’s how you destroy history so that someone can come in, rewrite it, and then author a future to their liking.

thinking about that image of a pistol labelled "women" with the silencer labelled "white" as the hall pass for people who style themselves as progressive aiming to get away with misogyny

one thing i will never forget and forever be sickened by was that the leader of the SNP's, the First Minister's, in-laws were literally being bombed in an active genocide and the press and most of the political establishment just didn't care
