bye bye X It was fun when it was twitter

@JimSpenceDundee Ach wheesht. The bad old days are long gone. Embarrassing pearl clutching

Many in John’s party would close Catholic schools tomorrow if they could. I can still recall a serving MSP saying to me apropos of nothing ‘That’s the trouble with you catholics’

With a vote of 86%! 86% of the members in the International Association of Genocide Scholars agreed that Gaza was a genocide. It is overwhelming consensus for those charged with studying such things and it’s not really close

Once again US media is casually reporting the Pentagon’s use of human shields. Here the NYT details how US troops are hiding in civilian “office spaces” and “hotels” because they don’t want to be “vulnerable” or too close to “the current front lines”.

People say the BBC has a diversity problem but it has just replaced a 58-yr-old Cambridge-educated white man with a *57-yr-old* Cambridge-educated white man so I don't know what they're talking about telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03/2…

@nee_massey Saw this ( I’m also doing a thing about Scotland team) - worlds collide !

Western media has simply copy & pasted US/UK/Israeli claims of an Iranian "attack" on Diego Garcia and presented them as fact. Given the stakes of this claim––potentially pulling EU countries into the war––I argue basic journalistic skepticism is in order columnblog.com/p/western-medi…

70% of Americans are fundamentally wrong about Iran’s “nuclear program.” This is not an accident: by @adamjohnsonCHI therealnews.com/how-a-media-ca…

Interesting PR decision from Ipswich Town here

In the article about ME/CFS I posted about, a doctor in Wales is quoted as saying "Doctors aren't taught about this condition.” We all know this of course. I’d like to ask the medical community “What the fuck are you waiting for?”

@KenmureStreet saw it tonight. Brilliant work Mr P.

Believe the five-star rave: Midwinter Break is an exquisite portrait of shifting emotional nuance, sublimely portrayed by Lesley Manville and Ciaran Hinds. 90 beautiful minutes of cinema. theguardian.com/film/2026/mar/…

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions. But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

Have received a lot of messages following last night's appearance on the new #Ultras series on @BBC Scotland. Enjoyed being a part of it, and the team involved in the making of it were all great. Hopefully people enjoy the remainder of the show. It's also available on iPlayer.

US bombers, refuelled and rearmed in Britain, taking off to bomb Iran, murder civilians, destroy the global economy, and tank your mortgage rate.

Gotta be honest if you’re getting ads in your books it’s probably on you
