Born in Glaschu (Glasgow), Ancestry DNA says I'm only 5% Scottish. 23andMe says I'm 2% Neanderthal which does at least explain why I went to Shanidar...

Okay that's settled then, YMCA is no longer a gay anthem, was never a gay anthem, there's nothing gay about it. No need to sue anyone, everyone will just stop seeing the gayness in it. Thanks for the information Victor.

Ah democracy, you're a bit shit sometimes aren't you.
78% of Scots support assisted dying. And yet the SNP MPs didn't vote and a majority of MPs voted against it.
I get sometimes MPs sometimes have to vote for things the electorate might not approve of, but this isn't one of those times.

I've worked in remote Aboriginal communities, I know it meant a lot to Aboriginal people to see themselves on screen being the heroes.

This is one of those situations where there's a inconsistency between gospels. This quote is from the Gospel of Mark but in the Gospel of Luke, Jesus says "Screw you leper, no insurance, no miracle".
Either way I don't think it ended well for the leper... 😜

Such a wonderful photograph and such beautiful scenery. I would love to go back and speak with her and ask about her life, hopes and dreams.
Maybe she wouldn't understand me, I almost went to school in Ireland but my family moved back to Scotland so I never learned Irish... 🙁

An amazing run down the Dubh Slabs by Danny MacAskill, his skill level is off the charts. I'd either die of fear or fall of the mountain if it was me.
I love this song, it works really well with the video.

A bit of a play on Bluesky is Sky Blue from the sadly departed Martyn Bennett.
Born in Newfoundland to a Welsh and Scottish parent he moved to Scotland as a child and became one of Scotland's most innovative musicians.
This is one of my favourite songs... ❤️💙🤍

I was at work in Australia when the referendum vote result was announced. So many people were conned into voting no either through fear or lies.
The disinformation campaign by the govt and media (there's almost no actual Scottish media) in London was shocking.
The documentary is worth the watch.

It's the phucking BBC! In Scotland folks are ditching the TV licence in droves of thousands and here is the reason why. For more, get a coffee and watch this www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXQY...

Well this is embarrassing, I can see whoever wrote the script is as talented as the general who planned the 3 day seizure of Ukraine. It's just so pathetic.
On the plus side both the script writer and the general will be in jail some day soon when the Putin regime topples.

I really was unsure whether to post this video of Russian propagandists mocking those who came to the G20 summit. My team was disgusted as they made subtitles on it.
But I decided you need to see what Russian TV says about Western leaders.
Proceed with caution.

All three of my countries are full democracies, but I'm not sure functionally how the UK made it into that category. The UK voting system doesn't deliver representative govt and in Scotland where a majority want independence but are forbidden a route to achieve it by the English courts and govt.

At last strong leadership, Gul Dukat will lead us into a golden age. It may mean everything is 25% more expensive but that's a small price to pay... 😜
On my first day in office as Federation President I will impose a 25% tariff on the Gamma Quadrant until they halt the flow of Ketracel White into the Alpha Quadrant. Thank you for your attention to this matter. #StarTrek

A Muppet Wicker Man.
It's almost 51 years since The Wicker Man was released and a lot less time since someone partially turned it into the Muppets. Whoever it was was a genius, I'd happily watch the entire movie if it'd been completely Muppetised.
