Love to play my guitars and feed wildlife. Not all at the same time though

Songs of Syx and Dwarf Fortress are not for the faint of heart. Get both in the bundle, but you can't say we didn't warn you first 😈

Another awesome game, now published by @kitfoxgames.com, that I continue to spend far too much time in.

They are adding ship to ship combat 🔫 and fire 🔥which should be spectacular!

Oh and for the love of Baphomet's spine don't eat the "meat chunks" in your Trenchers meal box! 🫢

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Matt Goodwin pulled out at the last minute, so I told everyone how @GoodwinMJ's brand of racism only leads to violence.

Imagine you worked at a cinema around the time that the #LordOfTheRings released and now all you can think of when you hear Howard Shore's soundtrack is... WORK

Some poor buggers out there are living that life and I think we should start a support service specifically for their trauma

The strap was not well made and it did not end well for my head 😅

One pilot in Canada took to the skies for a #RemembranceDay tribute. Dimitri Neonakis has a history of special sky art in Canada, most recently a flight path supporting the Toronto Blue Jays in the World Series. See www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraf... for playback of this flight and others.

Very wet day here in Scotland so needing some lifting.
This did the trick.
Even different species can care for each other
This is Oakley. He has an injury that requires physical therapy and at-home massages. Luckily, his cat sibling River has been training his whole life for this. 14/10 for both

People in obscure parts of Scotland continually getting away with being stuck in the dark ages is just not on
A Tiree teacher who told a class during a discussion on sexuality that 'It’s Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve', changed a pupil’s SQA exam paper without her consent, pushed a pupil with additional support needs, and described abortion as a 'crime' has avoided being struck off 👇

Lots of people are angry - and they have every right to be.

The chancers in Reform want that anger directed at refugees and other vulnerable groups, not the greedy landlords, tax avoiders and billionaires actually making life so difficult for everyone else.

The monarchy is an undemocratic, antiquated relic that serves no useful purpose in the 21st century.

An unaccountable billionaire family bankrolled by the public purse.

To become a fairer country it’s time to finally abolish the monarchy.
Prince Andrew proves the Monarchy should be abolished, claims Patrick Harvie
King Charles has stripped his younger brother of his Royal titles following more embarrassing revelations over the prince's friendship with late US paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Can't say I like reading lines such as - Nigel Farage "likely next Prime Minister" BUT It is a good article and an interesting observation

I've seen far too many people either praising or at least sanitising Charlie Kirk following his murder, so I've written something about his actual impact for @heraldscotland.bsky.social

www.heraldscotland.com/opinion/2546...
People like Charlie Kirk made women and girls less safe in schools
The murder of the far-right commentator has created a martyr for people seeking to radicalise boys and young men.

Nigel Farage is accusing Starmer of inciting violence against him, by calling Reform racist.

Meanwhile Farage literally hugged Lucy Connolly because she incited violence and pleaded guilty to racism.

Absolute MELON!

A solid demo from the makers of Battle Brothers. Excited for the release having been a little unsure if it would keep the BB charm but it has it in buckets!
