In February 1972, 20 students from Glasgow School of Art greeted Gordon Campbell, the Scottish Secretary of State, as he opened the Charing Cross section of the M8. They waved banners that are as relevant now as they were then as Campbell passed beneath in the Lord Provost's car. 📷 Newqsquest

Meanwhile, the Turkish government continues to stamp out any evidence of independent journalism left in the country. It's almost like they have something to hide.

Great moments in Scottish engineering history: James Watt tries to work out how his phone attaches to his selfie stick.

Statue of James Watt. In his right hand he holds a telescopic stick with a frame at the top; in his left he holds a flat object about the size of a large smartphone. He is scowling at the possibly-not-a-smartphone as if he is tempted to yeet it into the sea. On that basis, it probably _is_ a phone.

The vast majority of creatives are struggling. Writers are leaving LA in droves. Directors are driving Uber when they aren't lucky enough to get gigs directing dubs or subs for foreign films. Recognizable actors are finding jobs they won't be recognized in. The whole industry is shitty right now.

To be clear, I actually think it's fine for some musicians or artists or whatever to not feel like they want to be constantly speaking on stuff and clearly a dead-end to imagine a guy like Ed Sheeran can made to be a leading voice on anything that matters -

I just passed wind so loudly and poisonously my voice recognition software filed a Daily Telegraph article, and as if that wasn’t bad enough, the follow-through then made it into the Spectator.

There has been a noticeable lack of serious reaction over Turkish persecution of LGBTQIA+ community from the global community. As in many other countries, Türkiye tries to mask persecution by claiming being LGBTQIA+ isn't illegal and then using "obscenity laws". www.theguardian.com/global-devel...
