@spfl IFAB says the whistle is needed at the end of each half, or to stop play if suspended/abandoned. If SPFL say it ended and wasn’t abandoned, show the audio/video. Was full time signalled — or only “ended” after Celtic fans made play impossible?

SPFL Statement "Firstly, we send our congratulations to Celtic on winning the William Hill Premiership in the most exciting of circumstances and send our commiserations to everyone at Heart of Midlothian following an incredible campaign. “We would also like to thank the referee and his excellent team of match officials for their cool heads on such a dramatic day. Given the speculation about the conclusion of the game, we would like to make clear that, prior to awarding the trophy, we were informed by the match referee that the match had ended and had not been abandoned. "Yesterday’s match showed off the very best of the Scottish game and the drama and excitement that it is rightly famed for. The eyes of the world were on Glasgow and the climax of the William Hill Premiership, with millions of viewers watching the match on Sky Sports and across the globe. "However, we utterly condemn the scenes which saw a number of Celtic supporters encroach onto the field of play. We await the report of our match delegate regarding any specific incidents that took place but, regardless, supporters entering the field of play in any circumstances is wholly unacceptable and puts those participating and working at a match at risk. We note that entering the pitch in England and Wales has been a criminal offence since 1991. We urge anyone with information about any alleged criminal activity to contact Police Scotland."

@AwayDaysFB VAR is for clear and obvious error. No way from this you can tell if hand ball.

'Cheat Cheat Cheat Cheat' rings around Motherwells stadium as Celtic are awarded a last minute penalty for this to keep them in the title race.. 🤯

You go to work for 40 years (I'm currently at 42). You’re forced into auto‑enrolment. You play by the rules, you save into a pension on the promise it’s yours. Then Labour strolls in, waves through a law that lets ministers tell your scheme where to gamble those savings – not for your benefit, but to prop up their economic “strategy” and vanity infrastructure schemes that the market won’t fund. This isn’t prudence. It isn’t “modernisation”. It is a straightforward transfer of control from the saver to the state. Hands off our pensions. Share this before they pretend nobody noticed.

@STVNews Should be. As should all of Scotland, except we’re a colony trapped in a disastrous union.

The UK has some of the highest energy costs in the world and part of the reason is this: In 2025, £1.46 billion was spent switching off wind turbines and managing the system, often requiring gas plants to switch on, with those costs ultimately passed through to bill payers. Yesterday alone £2.7 million was wasted ... that's enough clean energy to power Scotland for a day. Why? When it’s very windy, the grid becomes congested and electricity can’t get to where it’s needed. As a result, we pay to switch off wind generation while simultaneously paying gas plants to switch on elsewhere. In effect, we are paying twice for the same electricity, once to turn it off, and again to replace it. This is exactly the kind of problem Bitcoin’s flexible demand response is designed to solve. It can absorb excess energy at the source and turn what is currently wasted into revenue instead of loss. We don’t lack energy, we lack the ability to use it efficiently. @Ed_Miliband when are we fixing the grid? Check it out for yourself, this is now my new favourite website: wastedwind.energy. H/t to @dfjonsson for sharing. * This could have bought nearly 19,000 Bitcoin during the bull run. At today's prices that same money would have secured over 27,500 Bitcoin. @janrosenow @JesseJenkins @CarbonBrief @ofgem @elonmusk

Inflation isn’t some random phenomenon that just happens to a country. Political choices have made life so much more expensive for British families, and political choices can make life so much more affordable for British families. When the state grows too large, it spends beyond its means. That spending has to be funded. Through higher taxes, more borrowing, or printing money. Those are their options. All three drive inflation. All three make your food shop more expensive, your pint more expensive, your tank of fuel more expensive. High taxes make it more expensive to produce, hire, and invest - so businesses pass those costs on. Prices rise. Inflation soars. It’s a vicious cycle. And so many of those taxes are done through stealth. We all pay SO much tax but we have no idea because it’s hidden from us. That money is stolen from the people, and they don’t even know it. Frozen thresholds. Stealth taxes. State theft. I detest it. Of course, excessive and reckless state spending pumps more money into the system, so prices rise - the cycle continues. And when governments print money and inject it into the economy, what happens to the value of the existing money? What happens to your savings? Your wages? It all becomes worth less and less. This is not complicated - a bloated state makes a country more expensive. It makes Britain more expensive. It makes your life more expensive. So the reverse is also true. Cut the size of the state, and you reduce wasteful spending. Cut taxes, and you lower the cost of production. Restore proper discipline, and you stabilise the value of money. A Restore Britain Government would not manage inflation, we would tackle the root causes of it. We would not engage in unnecessary foreign wars that hike the price of oil, punishing British families at the pump and everywhere else. When fuel gets more expensive, everything follows. Britain needs cheap fuel, cheap energy. That means drilling, drilling and drilling some more. Domestic energy production is vital. Cheap energy makes everything more affordable. Everything. The drive for Net Zero must end - Restore Britain will halt that mad march to further bankruptcy . A country that lives within its means is a country people can actually afford to live in. And yes, that will mean many cuts, and many difficult decisions. But the hour is late, and nothing else will suffice. Any political party saying otherwise is lying to you. There are no easy fixes. That time is over. Restore Britain’s approach will be painful in the short term, but it will bring the cost of living down. It will make life more affordable for hardworking British families.

@adam3us I understand I don't want my node filled with non-financial junk.

We are the anti-fragility. People who understand and embrace what Bitcoin is vs the hordes of unthinkers here to "fix" Bitcoin...

Jimmy Carr @jimmycarr talking about UK excess and stranded energy: - "our power stations don't do anything at night so we're going to mine for bitcoins" - "anything we don't need we can mine for bitcoin."

@saylor JP Morgan

Guess the ₿ank.

@kliberaali My node disc space says otherwise

Nobody cares about dust. Nobody cares about spam. A lot of people DO CARE whether the protocol allows bitcoins to be confiscated.

🚨OMG TEACHERS ARE TRYING TO HIDE THEY HAVE ILLEGAL MIGRANTS IN A PRIMARY SCHOOL Seaton School in Aberdeen is holding classes for illegal migrants A local man records them and the teacher tries to COVER IT UP WOW

I believe BIP444 is the first step in the right direction to make Bitcoin LESS PROGRAMMABLE. We need less and less scripts and less and less op_codes to harden the monetary property of the bitcoin. BIP444 attracts GENERALLY 2 groups of bitcoiners 1) Bitcoiners who want to see bitcoin as more money and less data storage 2) Bitcoiners who want ossification of bitcoin since BIP444 is not really an upgrade to the bitcoin. It's actually restoring the monetary property of the bitcoin more than ever. SUPPORT BIP444...!!! END THE SHITCOIN CORE 😎

Why We Need A Bitcoin Soft Fork Now

Core has been bought and is corrupting Bitcoin. It’s a parasite, slowly changing and degrading Bitcoin to a point of no return. RDSF (aka BIP444) is necessary to keep Bitcoin as incorruptible, sound money. No compromises. Soft fork ASAP.

@callebtc Fees protect the miners, but they don't provide enough disincentive to protect the full nodes. This has always been a problem, of course. But increasing the OP_RETURN allowance will likely make this problem worse. It also will increase legal risks.

Knots left datacarrier where it was and updated it so that it could also limit data that exploits the taproot bug rather than just OP_RETURN. Core left it broken, is expanding it by 1000x and will remove user configurability in a future release. Knots rejects arbitrary data storage in Bitcoin. Core has embraced it. Initially by refusing to continue the fight against it, now with decisive removal of age-old limits. Everyone has a decision to make, and you have about two weeks left before Core 30 comes out. If you think the direction Core is taking us *might* be a mistake, you must drop it *now* as there will be no putting that genie back in the bottle once massive OP_RETURNs become widely relayed and the protocols that make use of them gain traction. Bitcoin's use case is money. Other people that want to use it for other things do not strengthen the network - instead they degrade it by draining its resources and providing nothing in return.

@alyscrypto @CarlBMenger @grok and Bitcoin goes down as well. Make it make sense!

@CarlBMenger What does it mean @grok

Damn, 10Y U.S. government bonds are falling like a rock. 👀

@TRobinsonNewEra hey @grok, what are these people dying from?

Insane news out of Germany, as a SEVENTH AfD politician, dies ahead of the local elections next week.
