Finding it difficult to express how utterly furious I am this morning. The instruction was to retain these, not smash to pieces. I have stopped all work this morning so that we can preserve what is left

The most important and interesting character in the Arday saga is the butcher. The butcher's single brusque utterance, as quoted by The Guardian, contains, demolishes, and (re)constructs/constitutes the entire hermeutic, at least arguably.

Woke up early this morning to the evil of Trump’s ICE Proud Boys - this text came in overnight from a friend in USA who’s now spending his retirement supporting persecuted immigrant families. His protection is he’s white and middle class. But this is what’s happening to the poor.

Compare 225 Bath Street in Glasgow's historic Blythswood district with the Sterling Mason building in New York’s historic Tribeca district, completed in 2016.
We should have a basic design code to promote high-quality, distinctively Glaswegian buildings. Planners disagree, alas.
ALT The Sterling Mason, a 33-unit condominium in New York’s historic Tribeca neighborhood, is composed of two buildings, a restored and converted 1905 coffee and tea warehouse on Washington Street and a matching addition on Greenwich Street. The new building produces a “double negative” effect, with identical facade detailing rendered in a matte metallic finish. By Morris Adjmi Architects, completed in 2016.

If the 1990s was today can you imagine the abuse? This is not about protecting women

"join"? Perhaps if the BBC had paid more attention back when @theSNP were leading opposition to the two child limit and the rape clause in 2015, and regularly calling to scrap it for the past nine years, perhaps we wouldn't still have to be fighting against it now. 🙄

New Scotland Only Westminster poll, Savanta 28 Jun - 2 Jul (changes vs 21-25 Jun):
SNP ~ 34% (nc)
Lab ~ 31% (-3)
Con ~ 15% (+1)
LD ~ 9% (nc)
RUK ~ 6% (nc)
Grn ~ 3% (+1)
A spicy final-but-mostly-MoE poll from Savanta, to be sure; in 2021 they had biggest SNP *under*estimate!

Yesterday @TheScotsman. A word to unionists enjoying current SNP travails: if you want to save the Union in the long-term, insulting & patronising Scots who continue to support independence won't do it. Better to consider their reasons, and act on them. scotsman.com/news/opinion/co…

The Daily Mail ROLLING out the euphemisms here on Peggy-Rose Hanbury’s hubbie & his alleged close friend: ‘bachelor’, ‘aesthete’, ‘not the marrying kind’!
Someone stop them before they get to ‘Friend of Dorothy’ & ‘dances at the other end of the ballroom’ dailymail.co.uk/news/article…
