@nee_massey @brookecombe What a voice

youtu.be/9_y2LLQC4GI?si… I think it’s great we have a real live Scottish soul hero, keeping the faith, and pumping out classics. @brookecombe

She's back! Scottish soul siren @brookecombe shares new single 'Tears Won't Lie' - clashmusic.com/news/brooke-co…

Superb

I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. RT if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Sheer class.

The best 1,2,3 by any player ever.

@alan_pattullo East Stirlingshire 2 Falkirk 0 might feature

See Macmillan have won the rights for this new Sir Alex Ferguson memoir, where he chooses 21 games that are meaningful to him. Glad he says "the choices may surprise you.." Maybe a St Johnstone match, possibly even East Stirlingshire....?

@GrieveWallace Both versions are superb

@idmac1964 Love the Stranglers version of this

Fantastic song and video

In 1572, this man watched Catholics and Protestants massacre each other in the streets. Instead of choosing a side, he asked one question and it changed Western philosophy forever. That man was Michel de Montaigne. And his question was devastatingly simple: "Que sais-je?" What do I know? Everyone around him was certain they were right. Certain enough to kill for it. Montaigne watched this unfold and reached a radical conclusion: Certainty itself was the disease. So he retreated to his tower library and began the strangest philosophical experiment in history: studying the one subject he had direct access to: Himself. For 20 years, he wrote about his fears, his contradictions, his pleasures, and his failures. Not to appear wise. But to see clearly. He called the project his "Essays." "Others form man. I tell of him." What he discovered shook Western thought ↓ Most of what you call "yourself" isn't really you. The things we call natural: our values, our sense of right and wrong are almost entirely shaped by custom and upbringing. We didn't choose them, we inherited them. What feels like instinct is usually just habit wearing a disguise. And once you see that, you can't unsee it. His motto wasn't a cry of despair. It was the most honest starting point for any examined life. Because once you stop pretending you have all the answers, something surprising happens ↓ You become free. Free to revise. Free to contradict yourself. Free to say: "I thought one thing at 30. I think something different at 50. Both were real." He also rejected something most philosophers clung to, the idea that the body is beneath us. Aging. Illness. Appetite. Friendship. These weren't distractions from the philosophical life. They were the philosophical life. Real wisdom isn't found by transcending ordinary existence. It's found by paying honest attention to it. Pascal was shaken by him. Nietzsche called him one of the most joyful thinkers who ever lived. Emerson carried him everywhere. All because he was willing to say: I don't have this figured out. But I'm looking. In a world drowning in confident opinions, Montaigne's invitation is more urgent than ever: Stop performing. Start examining. Your contradictions aren't failures. They're data. Your uncertainty isn't weakness. It's the beginning of honest thought. Ask his question. Not once, but daily: What do I actually know? — Thanks for reading! Enjoyed this post?

Proud to see this come together at the @FalkirkFC stadium. The first Iftar event hosted here and a brilliant turnout by both people and local businesses. 🤝 Great to open the doors to different parts of our community and create space for people to gather.

@FalkirkFC John was a Falkirk FC legend. Held in the highest esteem by his teammates. RIP John. It was a privilege to watch you play for the club.

Everyone at Falkirk Football Club was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of former player John Markie. Club Historian Michael White paid tribute to a Falkirk Bairn, and a true legend of the club. ➡️ bit.ly/4bj8X1h

Scottish independence will not be granted by the Labour British state. It requires a peaceful political revolution driven by the people. If you support this revolution, please RT like comment ⬇️⬇️⬇️
