Protestors outside the Sandyford in Glasgow on the last day before the safe access zones come in. They cannot arrive soon enough. No “silent prayer” today. Loud protest that would be distressing for any woman or girl accessing the services 😭

I'm trying to be more diligent about crossposting for people who have been kind enough to follow me here. Yesterday, some people on Twitter asked me to explain the difference between a four-in-hand and Windsor knot, and why one would be considered "better." So here's a thread. 🧵 (1/19)

This is so good. Full of killer quotable lines. eg “He's managed to turn […] Tesla from an icon brand catering to well-off environmentalists to […] one instead associated with impotent try-hard faux-masculinity.”
This one's long but I was having so much fun I just didn't want to stop. The supposed tech industry giant is almost hilariously inept at doing actual business stuff.

I think the time has come to leave Twitter/X. But I can’t do it without one last hurrah for my finest moment. I am on the Blue Place with the same username but nothing I do there will ever top this 😭 #WhenTwitterWasGood

This man grabbed his penis when Spain won and forcibly kissed Hermoso on the lips without her consent. All on live TV. Now they are trying to gaslight us into believing “she wanted it” by publishing pictures of her body language. I feel sick. ...

Heaving into @UofGlasgow on another scorching day for the annual Sir Gerald Gordon Seminar in Criminal Law. Remembering Pete Duff and Gerry Maher, who both died this year. Both were supporters of the seminar right from its inaugural event in 2009. We will miss them.
