This is why the SNP will definitely be on my shortlist for the upcoming elections, and why Labour won't.

These posters for the South Korean stage production of Macbeth are the greatest thing ever? #art
Poster for the South Korean stage production of Macbeth showing Lady Macbeth whose back is turned to us, and Macbeth posed towards us with his hand on the back of his wife's neck. The long cut in the back of her dress reveals skin in the shape of a sword/dagger that Macbeth seems to be holding. Poster for the South Korean stage production of Macbeth showing Lady Macbeth facing us with her cleavage cut into three pointy triangles. Macbeth is kneeling in front of her, away from us, his face in his wife's chest. The exposed skin of Lady Macbeth looks like a crown that aligns with the top of Macbeth's head.

So it's not just me, there are fewer Scottish banknotes about! www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottis...

What is this nonsense, can we have proper notes again, please?

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
broadwaybabyto.bsky.social Kelly @broadwaybabyto.bsky.social · 16d
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

This was a wonderful read that had me tearing up in places. I hate the M8 at Charing Cross, and am sad to see the lid being shelved, but this is heartwarming story.

The M8 separated two childhood best friends, but it couldn't keep them apart forever. This is the story of how Robin and Brian rekindled their friendship, fifty years on.

Are there any Greater Glasgow nerr types on here who would be interested in joining the #Bruhammer posse for some #BloodBowl in the near future?

Starting a league soon as a break from our Necromunda campaign and curious to see if any new faces fancy tossing the tabletop pigskin. (Not a euphemism)

My (hardback) copy of this turned up today and is absolutely gorgeous. Gunnerkrigg Court is still one of my favourite webcomics and I'm really enjoying these beautiful omnibus editions.

Is this sale happening in Britain? If so, and you're an Audible subscriber who hasn't read this book, get ye to yer device and download and listen to it. It's rather wonderful!
daftpenguin.bsky.social Daft Penguin @daftpenguin.bsky.social · Nov 12
Heads up: If you haven't read A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking by @tkingfisher.com (and frankly that's criminal in the first place) and you're on Audible, it's part of the 2 for 1 sale right now. You won't regret it.

It has a possibly sentient, probably murderous sourdough starter in it.
