it's with an apostrophe means "it is" or "it has".

it's like a time capsule
(correct)

the revamp has restored *its* classic style
(no letter missing, so no apostrophe)

Please do something on modern attempts at invisibility, by paints, cloaks or any other means.

Scotland, 6.
Loads of people have put Ukrainians up in their homes.
But general interest in ongoing news? Sadly, no.
But if challenged to take sides 95% would pick the right side, and the majority probably approve of ongoing and increasing UK & European commitments to Ukraine & NATO, and sanctions.

@glasgowrangerschat.bsky.social I wish you'd not call Bassama a 'boy', which by coincidence is a racial slur. The guy is 21, so he's an adult, and 'boy' could be misinterpreted as derogatory, which I sure hope you aren't meaning to be!

*its

(it's is always short for "it is" or "it has", the apostrophe showing where there is a missing letter. "it is" wouldn't make sense here.)

Only trying to help, not carp.

Hello. We are a couple running away from armed villains. We are holding hands which isn’t in the least bit awkward or inefficient.

To understand what triggered the protests and the unexpected reaction in Ukraine, it’s essential to know the context - especially for those who don’t follow Ukraine’s internal politics.

🧡Thread:

1/ First, the protest isn’t aimed at the President personally, but at a specific law passed yesterday.

How interesting.

As a Scot brought up on the English English canon, high time I got acquainted with the Scottish English one.

Good that he is looking so far ahead into his future, and that his future is golf.

Love this bit of stained glass on 63 Bath Street in Glasgow. I don't know how old it is, but given the features on the rest of the windows, I'm guessing it's from the Art Nouveau period. I could well be wrong, though.

A wonderful 28km walk through the mountains and glens to Glencalvie near Bonar Bridge. A couple of days off now after six days of hard walking through challenging terrain.

I get something from golf Scheffler doesn't.

I get the biggest buzz shooting 2 under handicap at Hopeman, think of little else on the drive home, check my phone at 4am to see my new 'index' (handicap), then talk about my best shot to anyone who'll listen. The point of life? THIS. #golf #theopen

Trump has not guaranteed that he will put sanctions on Russia in 50 days, he has offered Putin protection against additional sanctions for 50 days. And he can always extend beyond that.

Disappointed in this post. With Trump re Ukraine, all is an act, a stalling act. He is "taking (yet another) look" at whatever, but is doing nothing. Oh, except resuming arms deliveries that he himself stopped. He figured it all out, as did we, years ago, who couldn't? Can't believe you're deceived.

I know BlueSky isn't strong on #golf but I can't believe how few followers this account has. John Turnbull is the writer of most of the magazine's posts here, and he (or his bosses) have an eye for the best stories, and there is no flannel, just good info.

Rising Scottish star realises Open β€˜dream’ on emotional day Rising Scottish star Connor Graham realised his Open dream at Final Qualifying on Tuesday. And a moment with his dad summed it all up.

The crowds were out to see Lee Westwood yesterday - and Connor Graham.

He, too, qualified for The 153rd Open at Dundonald Links yesterday and realised a lifelong dream.

The extraordinary moment at the NATO press conference when Trump admits he gave a foreign enemy (Iran) permission to attack a US military base.

β€œThey said is one o’clock ok? I said it’s fine.”

He even says soldiers were still on site.

I’m not a constitutional lawyer, but that’s treason, right?
