Bluesky has just photographed me to verify my age. Now all the posts I see are people shouting just past me to ask if he takes sugar in his tea.

Not sure this headline really captures the story. It could transform farming everywhere, not just Scotland.

Essentially these guys have worked out how to conjure ammonia from thin air by shouting magic spells at some water. At least I think that’s what it says.

Ooft. That must be, what, five, maybe six years ago.

I’m deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of Sir Professor Geoff Palmer KT.

He was not only a distinguished scientist & academic, but also a courageous voice for justice & equality.

My sincere condolences to his family & all who knew and admired him.

May his soul rest in peace. πŸ•ŠοΈ

I’m convinced Peter’s #journorequests are part of some kind of situationist prank.

Can anyone read Mandarin?

Who manages QOTSA?

Do you know anyone who collects left handed teaspoons?

WHAT DOES PURPLE SMELL LIKE?!?

Probably both tbh. Honestly, I genuinely don’t get it. Mr Blobby was more understandable.

It’s astonishingly bad. How can something as nothing-y have got to number one. Has there ever been a more tissue thin top of the top forty?

I’ve followed you for a while, and I love your stuff. But I will never, ever, forgive you for having caused me to have heard of this guy.

Yes, the children are the problem here, with their soft, squishy wee bodies selfishly mashing themselves against the poor car.

No, you’re crying watching Carlos Verona’s kids hugging him.

Is it the benevolence of the butcher, the baker and the brewer?

I’m not sure I’ve ever been to a bad concert. Sound at Iron Maiden at the Hydro in 2017 was a bit sludgy but that’s about it.

Those of us who didn’t experience can’t imagine. And, nostalgia being what it is, anyone who did experience it probably remembers it quite fondly.

I hate to say it, but talking at the Barras is becoming endemic. It was irritating at the, really very loud, Self Esteem gig but at the, sometimes very very quiet, Father John Misty gig it was a real evening spoiler.

Yes, leavin’ on a jet plane and homeward bound are famously bad songs. Everyone says so.
