    This evening's viewing distraction: I have a bunch of new stuff to watch, but find I'm still in the mood for older works. Comfort viewing, I suppose, understandable at the moment.

    So this evening a revisit to comedy classic Airplane!

    Packed Writers Forum, despite the dreich weather. Now desperately trying to get home before thousands of kickyball fans come pouring out the stadium near my end of town (not fun to try & get through, & it's a local derby, so will be worse than usual). Bus, don't let me down...

    Well January so far may have been bitterly cold, wet, dark and full of seemingly endless bad news, & feeling ill, but it did also bring the annual Galette des Rois.

    We picked ours up from lovely La Barantine for Second Breakfast/ Petite Dejeuner Deuxieme in the bookshop a few days ago. Les yumyums, as they say in France 😋

    Someone just reminded me that as we are now in 2026, we are in the future the iconic, 1920s classic Metropolis was set in.

    Meanwhile the far-future world of the original Blade Runner is now seven years in our past, and the future of Space 1999 was the last century! A funny thing, time...

    @patrickhadfield fascists considered jazz "degenerate", along with most then-modern arts. It ain't for squares, it ain't for fascists, who couldn't spot a cool groove if we tattooed a spiral on their body

    Tory MP Katie Lam, on deciding even those here legally should be removed from the UK to create a "culturally coherent group of people".

    What new racist crap is this from the disintegrating Tories? And what the smeg is "culturally coherent"? I love my Scotland in all its diversity, we're an ancient nations of many tartans types, from Stewart to Singh, and we like it that way. Keep your xenophobic garbage away from us, Lam https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/oct/20/tory-mp-criticised-after-demanding-legally-settled-families-be-deported

    I don't think this cultural cohesion she seems to pine for even exists just within the home nations that comprise the UK - Scotland is not the same as England, nor is Wales, or NI, they all have their own unique cultureas and traditions outside this imagined UK homogenity, and that's before factoring in wider diversity from immigration that gives so much spark to our shared cultures.

    I've seen Indian wedding parties getting into their cars in Glasgow, the women in magnificent silk saris, the older men in Nehru jackets, the younger men sporting their turban but also a kilt, because they're proud to be Indian but also proud to be Scottish, and dammit, that's bloody brilliant, and I love that. "Cultural cohesion", she can take that and throw it in the Clyde.

    Bloody hell, standing nearly ten minutes at the bar to get another pint.

    Witnessed a worse sin though: bloke ordered good single malt then added ice to it. That should be against the law in Scotland 😋

    Some of the whisky selection in Teuchters. They offer the "hoop of destiny" game, purchase three goes to get a hoop over a bottle neck, hoopla style, to win a dram.

    And please note this is Scotland, home of the single malt, so there's no damned "e" in "whisky! 🥃

    @JulietEMcKenna I see that the same way I see all the "you too can make millions just like me" self help books, just a scam. Few who follow those rules will make millions, if any, and regardless, the capitalist system is designed to have small, rich group at the top and a large number lower down, so it can't support large numbers of people suddenly being super wealthy at the same time.

    Yes, I know, we're judging a "different era". But as the article points out, this is taking place when my city was a powerhouse of the Enlightenment, something many of us are proud of....
