Yes, it's the old Grampian patch - everything from Dundee upwards, essentially. So, so important to have local representation in the news - and not just a couple of tiny stories in a centralised news programme from Glasgow.

Sign the Petition Save STV North

STV North is a vital medium for stories from the north of Scotland to be told. Please sign the petition to let the powers that be know how much that opportunity means to you.

STV North cannot be allowed to disappear.

Centralised Scottish news has a bias towards the central belt. Always has, always will.

By removing the northern edition of STV News, we risk losing an outlet for important stories from Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness, Moray and the Highlands.

The poster for Back to the Future with artwork by Drew Struzan.

Sad to hear about the passing of Drew Struzan this week. He created some of the most iconic movie artwork we will ever see. The world has lost an incredible talent. Here's one of my favourites.

My work on my blog and at The Gaudie led to my first professional writing gig as a music columnist for the Evening Express - all achieved while studying. A varied career in media and comms wouldn't have been possible without those early experiences.

Student journalism is important. It holds universities and people in positions of power to account, often breaking stories that are picked up by larger outlets.

I got my start at The Gaudie Student Newspaper, writing for the arts and culture sections... and even an irreverent agony aunt column!

You can't joke about anything anymore. Because you signed a multi figure contract with the Saudi government that said they wouldn't pay you if you did.

@postabdn.com champions arts and culture in Aberdeen with thoughtful commentary and reporting. Sling them a few quid and align your brand with good people doing great things for Aberdeen's cultural landscape.

Also, what happens to UK citizens who can't afford a smartphone? They're just not allowed to get a job or find somewhere to live?

The loud and shouty dystopian nightmare across the pond that's always in the news is distracting us from the one unfolding right here.

How long before we start getting "random" stops in the street from the police checking our Brit Cards to ensure we are "legal"? I'm sure it won't be people who look like me that get the brunt of those, either.

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social now so far to the right they can't even see the left any more.

Is RFK jr a dangerous idiot, or just dangerous?
YouTube video by Mat Ricardo Is RFK jr a dangerous idiot, or just dangerous?

You know this, but:

(1) Tylenol doesn't cause autism.

(2) Autism isn't a disease, it's a difference. Like red hair.

(3) Autism is not something to be ended, its something to be understood.

(4) The ghouls that are lying to you have agendas based in eugenics.

Kimmel pointed out the US govt was using Kirk's death as an excuse to silence criticism. So they silenced his criticism by getting him suspended?
