Hey! Rest of the 'UK' and 'the world'! Scotland pretty much told Reform to f**k right off. Our state sponsored propaganda press are definitely ignoring this fact.
Scotland hates fascists.

#bbclaurak asks Tice about the £5milion given to him by Harborne
Tice "This was a personal gift"
A few days ago #Farage said the money was given to him to hire bodyguards
LK reminds him that before he became an MP, he did declare smaller gifts, like a trip to Belgium
Tice is stuffed here
She goes on
"Are you sure it has all been spent on security? Are there any other incidents that have not been declared?
Tice then adopts a populist, facist defence.
"You keep on trying to smear us but the voters have looked at and they agreed with us against the establishment media saying they want more Reform"
"Parliament has found 17 occasions where Nigel Farage has not followed the rules amounting to £380,000. This is not a smear. The question here is that Nigel Farage seems to have a habit of not following the rules very carefully when it comes to money"
He can not answer this
And does not answer this
Clearing a couple of weeks of snaps of phone and cameras. Finding the compulsory "why did I take that?" one, before realising it was just for the cloud 😆
Given that all I've ended up doing is adding 4 dots I faffed for far too long with this one (teeth, tongue, arms, ears...) but sometimes less is more.

Canada, Europe, Ukraine, and democratic allies grow stronger when they stand together. Trust, solidarity, and cooperation matter more than political ego games and isolationism. The free world survives by supporting each other — not by abandoning allies. #Canada #Europe #Ukraine #Democracy #Allies
Before 2015 I regularly bought 2-3 (often more) music albums - CDs or downloads - per month. Between 2016 and 2025 I paid Spotify a monthly fee instead. It's only in the last year that I've been buying the same amount of music on Bandcamp instead.
I enjoyed finding (lots of) new music through Spotify, and I enjoyed sharing playlists with colleagues and friends. But looking back on my local music collection, there's a big void where the last decade should be - and that doesn't feel good.

Without any investments, spending $1million every single day, 800 billion dollars would last over 2,190 years, supporting dozens of generations of extreme luxury.
Simply allowing people to starve to death when you're in that position should be considered an atrocity.
To use it instead to sue for more money is one of the most repellant things I can think of.

the linux screensaver that shows 3d models of all the different molecules is so good! it's like it sneaks a little bit of learning in there opportunistically.
me: paused the telly for a bit to reply to a message, go to resume playback...
my laptop: while ive got you, here's Buckinsterfullerine aka "bucky ball" which appears to be a compound made entirely of carbon atoms. enjoy!
me: zoned out thinking about an email reply
laptop: hey check out the dna molecule? its pretty sweet!
i think im even starting to remember some of the forms and am starting to have questions id like to have answers to, about how all the little atoms bond and stuff, and like how you can get the atoms to jump into one formation vs another 🤔.
it feels like free learning via osmosis and i like it a lot 😎
