Glasgow Central railway station - Wikipedia

The glass roof of the station is visible in the upper half of the shot, through the smoke. More info on Central Station here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasgow...

Beyond obvious sympathy for business owners & ppl in flats in the building(?) this is sad & worrying for Glasgow's #architecture. The building is a lovely piece of Victorian design, but the blaze is right next to Central Station, a spectacular historic building ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasgow...

After over 8 years, I'm finishing my term as editor-in-chief of Geopolitics. We're hiring two co-editors-in-chief to replace me. Please share widely and get in touch if you are interested

Whomst among us has not accused a colleague of an action we portray as dammingly negative, based on having a stranger briefly waive a photo before our faces and believing, without fact-checking, that said photo was solid evidence? Whomst, I ask? Whomst?! #vanpoli

A still from the video of the Talking Heads song, "(Nothing But) Flowers." The video begins with pans of the performers' faces labelled with their home towns.  The image shows David Byrne's face and the label "Dumbarton, Scotland," the town near Glasgow where he was born.

I also appreciate this other hometown mentioned πŸ‘‡ It's nice how Byrne still identifies as Scottish.

We've been telling SFU these contractors are bad actors for half a decade now. Admin's claim that food & cleaning services aren't core functions basically amounts to saying these workers are expendable. UBC, UVic, and UBCO employ service workers directly.

When will SFU do the right thing?

We'll see how it goes. I'm not involved in organizing. Just subbed in on a panel, but it'll be interesting ...

This is the kind of thing a rich CEO says at the beginning of a science fiction movie to establish for the audience that he is a sociopath and the villain.

β€œEby’s NDP is using its reputation as a workers’ party to launder a budget that hurts the working class most.”

β€œInstead of asking those who have more to contribute more, the BC budget asks youth, working families, people in poverty and seniors to fend for themselves amid public services stretched beyond capacity and huge rural-urban gaps in access to health care, transit and other key services.”

Late '90s, Nelsonville, Ohio. A rally for Willie Nelson's Farm Aid campaign. #JesseJackson, Martin Sheen. (Willie phoned in bc he couldn't come.) Someone brought a horse (who knows why, it's Ohio, not Texas!). Up Jesse goes, a bit wobbly at first, grabs someone's Stetson to complete the look. πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡ 1/2
