This got algorithm’d onto my Twitter

A death rate of 30 / 100,000 among Scottish men is massively high. I tried to find a comparison, the Our World In Data page would have that as the highest in the world - I assume the figure in the STV report is calculated differently.

The dull thick brained racists and meat heads appear to be displaying a left-wing political slogan in that photo.

Trying to think of the allegiances of all my managers through my career. Of those who have enjoyed football I think it goes - Rangers, Newcastle Utd, Hibs, Hibs, Falkirk, Dundee Utd, Tottenham, Aberdeen, Rangers, Newcastle Utd.
The ones who support English teams were actual fans of those teams, from the area.

Can we just give @SandyCromarty one of those loyalty cards where every time he is mentioned on here he gets a wee stamp?
I can't think what his reward would be for getting 20 stamps. Maybe we just name this thread after him.
Anyway. Slavery and colonialism getting a good airing in the thread concerning, ehm, Nic Sturgeon's man and his camper van
This would cause a worldwide stamp shortage.

Do you not still get your c**t kicked in here for attacking a polis?
This was years ago, but my wife-beating neighbour across the landing tried it when his missus locked him out of the flat and Plod came to take him away for kicking the door in. He decided it would be smart to take a drunken swing at the arresting officer and his face had a brief, sudden meeting with the close wall. I'm not a fan of authoritarianism, so it's a real shame that I never saw that happen

Another video, some nasty language in it

Not sure if I’m being wooshed.
But you can hear clearly from the accents that it’s a flight from Scotland. I’d say east coast accents so I assume Edinburgh?
”you’re a fanny”
”you’re gonna get leathered mate”
”fcuking do him”
”oh my gawd!”
The woman that posted it is from Northern Ireland. I couldn’t really make out what anyone was saying.
Anyway, the pilot just before they drag him away

The US House of Representatives has passed a bill providing aid for Ukraine, to the tune of $61bn. The Senate still need to pass it and then Biden will sign it into law. I don’t know if passing the Senate will be a challenge, yank politics is not really my thing.
The aid, if it arrives, will be crucial for fortifying Ukraines defences. Russia is expected to launch an offensive during the summer and is pressing in a number of areas of the front. Ukraine has suffered from shell hunger with European allies, led by the Czechs, attempting to source artillery ammunition in the last few weeks and months.
Russia has continued strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure, including civilian targets with a particularly grisly attack happening a few days ago in Chernihiv, with 18 civilians killed including several children. Power plants supplying Kyiv and Kharkiv have also been hit, with shortage of air defence munitions blamed.

Those of us old enough to remember the dog days of the Major government will get very similar vibes from this lot. Quite a few wretchedly useless MPs trying to wring out a few quid in their last few weeks at the trough.
Who of them will end up doing a Milligan though?

I remember seeing one of these videos on Twitter, although from the report it's more of a TikTok thing. It was promoted via the For You tab, some reprobate was posting it. Strange videos but very creepy that they are being taken regularly and without any permission.

It would be hilariously funny if Aberdeen win this but they will probably get scudded 9-0 again, the useless Cormack shagging bellends they are.

In terms of team news for us, Sean McAllister has returned to us from Everton after he was thought to be out for the rest of the season with injury.
I'd expect him to start on the bench. You might expect us to stick to the same team after winning two games in a row but Ferguson is a bit of a tinkerman in terms of his line ups so I think we might some alterations.

I went to see 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' at Cineworld in Edinburgh. Near the start of the film there is a long scene with the main character, the eponomymous girl, is brutally raped by her state-appointed guardian. It's a pretty hard watch, especially in a fairly mainstream movie, and there was a palpable sense of relief when the scene ended. Just at that moment, the fire alarm in the cinema went off and the movie stopped. We didn't have to leave the cinema but everyone stood around for a few minutes. The staff came in and told us it was all fine, film would restart but they'd rewind it a few minutes so we didn't miss anything. The film then restarted literally at the start of the rape scene - a couple of people actually walked out so they didn't have to see it again.

I'm going to make an outlandish prediction on this - it won't happen.

I don't think authenticity is a good reason to vote for someone. People can be authenticate and an idiot.

I think the Bute House agreement is still very popular among the SNP membership. I'm sure there was a poll not long ago showing it had 85-90% support. I have no idea what the process is for the SNP party agreeing to it for the SNP government, as noted above the Green membership can end the agreement if they vote on it.
Also, if I was Kate Forbes or another challenger I wouldn't look to replace Yusef in order to limit losses - let him take the defeat and then pick up afterwards. I'm not sure who the casualties would be in the SNP MP group but maybe the composition of that group might end up being more favourable following General Election losses? I am not up to date on my SNP Kremlinology so not sure whose supporters are most at risk.
The other thing that rings out to me on this is that discussions like these are sometimes a bit arrogant - "oh we'll take those losses, get a new leader and then we'll win all those voters back easily". Will you? Maybe you'll lose all your MPs who are relatively sane and be left with the zoomers? Maybe a Labour government will steal your lunch? Maybe there will be much more to come out about party funds that could sink them further. When political parties try to have succession planning the electorate usually have a way of changing it - anone who remembers the Blair-Brown dramas or David Cameron talking about "yer Boris Johnson, yer Thereas Mays".
