The activism and generosity of Optimo's Keith McIvor - The Skinny Following the untimely passing of Optimo's JD Twitch, aka Keith McIvor, we celebrate his unwavering devotion to activism and supporting his local community.

Missed the boat on a musical tribute, so instead I dug into the activism and generosity of Keith McIvor for @theskinnymag.bsky.social

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Peter Thiel Antichrist lecture: We asked guests what the hell it is We didn’t get a ticket to see Peter Thiel talk, but we did speak with attendees about what the hell happened.

A lot of enjoy in this, from the guy trying to erect a cross on the moon to the satanists welcoming Thiel as a leadership candidate. Still mad that one of the most influential tech bros believes these things though…

What is it with Glasgow and long-running club nights? Harri and Domenic are nearing 30 years of Subculture, Orde and Stuart have put on Pressure for almost as long, and now Keith and Jonnie are celebrating 25 years of Optimo. On the eve of an anniversary compilation from the latter DJ duo, we had the chance to ask exactly that.

RIP Keith McIvor, one of the most consistently excellent DJs there ever was, from Pure to @optimo-espacio.bsky.social and everything inbetween. Got to speak with his partner in crime for the Skinny recently and it was clear how much they meant to one another…

Yeah, fair play to you for trying. I was studying journalism at Cally and had my fair share of awkward interviews, but this sounds particularly tough.
