RIP Diane Keaton, and thank you especially for the S2 episode of #TwinPeaks you directed, which was possibly the most Twin Peaks Twin Peaks ever was.

Today, in the field opposite mine, where they are ramming 19 new houses, they’re felling this healthy, mature, ash tree. Despite UK ash trees being devastated by ash dieback disease, & it not stopping houses being built - it’s going ‘in case it gets diseased in years to come’. Fuck this very much.

The passive aggressiveness of emailing you to say you’ve successfully unsubscribed from emails is … a choice.

So, er, yeah …

I wrote an article in January about where we have ended up in English law re. "deception as to sex", and what that means for trans people. I think it's likely we can expect to see more of these sorts of cases going forward.

Gossip is - she quit because MacAskill wouldn’t build her the giant Independence Thermometer on Calton Hill.

Her boundless political intellect will be sorely missed in Holyrood.

Ballot Box Scotland @ballotbox.scot · 2d

Ash Regan, MSP for Edinburgh Eastern, candidate for SNP leader in 2023 and subsequently Alba leader in 2025, has now quit Alba citing it's "direction". She becomes an Independent and is re-standing as one next year. Alba's - never earned, only defected - parliamentary representation is ended.

It’s a wacky world we live in - for all the dozens of potential cycles and variables, generally speaking people use about two different ones all the time. But if they were marketed as having only two or three options, no one would buy them

Just extraordinary to witness this nature-hating government sabotaging Labour’s own legacy. And for absolutely no reason: nature protection isn’t blocking development - it’s a necessary prerequisite for it (& for everything else, come to that…)

Plans to weaken protections for national parks will have ‘disastrous consequences’ say green groups

Look, I love #Lego … but I don’t quite know how they can justify some of the parts pricing. Check out this fox - a small animal, printed in a single mould, with very basic printing:

Turns out he (apparently) had a job as an extra on Heartstopper.

Make it make sense!

Not sure we should let him claim a quote from Kenneth Williams’ Carry On character tbqh.
