@JamboAldo @PaoloNutini 2 very different takes from the two mainstream papers. It’s almost that we are a country divided ethno-religious grounds.

Hey @PaoloNutini The scum who did this were the animals you were singing the praise of the other night….. bbc.co.uk/videos/cl442d5…

May 16, 1963. Gordon Cooper was orbiting Earth alone inside a capsule barely big enough to turn around in, moving at 17,500 miles per hour. He had been up there for over a day. Then the warnings started. First a faulty sensor screaming that the ship was falling — it wasn't. He switched it off. Then something far worse: a short circuit knocked out the entire automated guidance system. The one that kept the capsule steady. The one that was supposed to bring him home. Without it, reentry was nearly impossible. Too shallow an angle and the capsule would bounce off the atmosphere back into space. Too steep and it would incinerate. The margin for error was razor thin — and every computer that was supposed to hit that margin was dead. Down on the ground, NASA engineers watched the telemetry in silence. They could see everything going wrong. They could fix nothing. Cooper didn't panic. He uncapped a grease pencil and drew lines directly on the inside of his window to track the horizon. He looked up at the stars he had spent months memorizing and used their positions to orient the ship by eye. Then he set his wristwatch. Because when you have no computers left, you become the computer. At exactly the right moment — calculated in his head, confirmed by the stars outside — he fired the retrorockets. The capsule shook. The sky turned to fire. For several minutes, no one on Earth could reach him as plasma swallowed the ship whole. Then the parachutes opened. Faith 7 hit the water just four miles from the recovery ship — the single most accurate splashdown in the entire Mercury program. The man with a wristwatch and a few pencil marks on a window had outperformed every automated system NASA had. We talk a lot about technology saving us. And it often does. But Cooper's story is a quiet reminder that behind every machine, there still has to be a human being who can look out the window, think clearly under pressure, and decide what to do next. The final backup was never the software. It was him.

Know your PARASITES

@MediaSOI @LWhitson16 FFS he looks like one of those creepy stalker characters from the 6 million dollar man

ex-Labour councillor and Hope Not Hate worker who helped design the Online Safety Act has been found guilty of…online child sex offences? Well I never…

@STVNews Sturgeons legacy right there…

A tale of two Iranians 1. - A 19 yr old national champion wrestler. Executed today for the crime of marching with 30,000 other murdered young people who just wanted freedom. Canada said nothing. - A Shia cleric of that Islamo-fascist regime. Just given Canadian citizenship. Marching in support of the regime at an al quds parade in Toronto in his first week in Canada. If there’s a way for Canada to be on the wrong side of history, this is it. Thx to @AlinejadMasih for keeping everyone informed. Here’s to a free Iran.

As political con artists go, few were more brazen or more accomplished than Nicola Sturgeon dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

I fully endorse practically every response to this tweet… #narcissist #goodriddance

@HoodedClaw1974 @tractorgirly “Hullo, I’d like to report a crime” “The crime? someone touched my banner” “No it’s not a euphemism”

Mouthy protestor outside Reform meeting in Scotland. The irony of shouting at working class people is clearly lost on him.🙄

A huge thanks to @RangersFC for welcoming us along to their training centre today 🥌⚽️ Exclusive content with @TeamGB Olympians Hammy, Kyle and Ross coming soon! 👀

Were Benny Hill’s fingerprints found in a car involved with the murder of two policemen?

📽️ From Donald Trump to Britain's wind power trade body, there's a growing coalition calling for more drilling in the North Sea. Raising the question: if we DID encourage more exploration, how much oil & gas could we actually get? Our MEGA primer on the North Sea👇 Ps it's longer than usual, but it turns out this topic has SO MANY misconceptions. Time to put some of them right. Let me know what you think

@MajorDMalpas @StewartNial You missed one crucial part, inherited or through hard work wealth is bad. Wealth taken from the public purse is good, think Roz Foyer type wealth, TheNatOnal love her.

Everything that is wrong & holding Scotland back in one tweet. Sneering, jealous and small. We see success and wealth and instead of thinking “brilliant, how can I replicate that” too many think “bastard, how can we take that off him and rubbish his character”. A sad country.

@LauraEWebsterr Now do Roz Foyer.. does he have more houses than her?

BREAKING: The Islamic regime in Iran hanged the 19-year-old wrestler and anti-regime protester Saleh Mohammadi today

@joebhoy1971 @moomintroll41 Surely that’s just a lie… Otherwise why would the Scot Gov have a tobacco/vape retailer register This is so SNP, they target the law abiding hard workers/businesses and turn a blind eye to those who would flout the law.

@moomintroll41 Apparently in Scotland they don't. Ask yourself why every other business is hounded, if they miss one rates payment. heraldscotland.com/news/25938076.…

Can anyone explain how a small fire in a vape shop that was identified immediately, ended up destroying an entire building, & additionally how the vape shop was allowed to trade given that it wasn’t registered & hadn’t paid rates for over 2 years! Clearly GCC isn’t doing its job

Every time I see this picture of Ali Larijani, I get angry. In the 1980s, when I was a teenager living in Iran, my eyes were very sensitive and my doctor told me to wear sunglasses. But the morality police would stop me in the street, because according to them, my sunglasses were “provoking men.” I had to carry a doctor’s note in my wallet just to justify something as basic as protecting my eyes. That was the reality for us. And now, the same system that policed girls for wearing sunglasses proudly promotes figures like Ali Larijani wearing American Ray-Ban glasses. This is the hypocrisy of the Islamic Republic: control and humiliation for ordinary people, freedom and privilege for those in power. It’s not just hypocrisy. It’s a system built on double standards and contempt for its own people.

Be that as it may, pupils in England outscored Finnish pupils in both maths and reading in the most recent PISA tests.

Some intern playing around with the Sky Sports app notifications? 🤔

Hilarious!
