Only the best of the best will do for @holyroodmag.bsky.social.
A Picture of Ash Regan MSP, who has been shortlisted by Holyrood Magazine as "MSP of the Year". Underneath, a quote (a genuine quotation) from her, addressing the suggestion that her Bill to ban the buying of Sex in Scotland would drive prostitution underground (which is an idomatic phrase which means "Would not be stopped, but would me done in private, often unsafely") where she says "You canno possibly drive prostituion underground. If you had women in underground cellars with a locked door, house would punters get to them"?

A great loss to the Church and the world. He was not perfect (as no Pope is) but he sought the address the realities of the world. There was more he could have done - but that is true of everyone. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord. And let perpetual Light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.

The Easter Vigil is, once again, one of the most beautiful moments of the year! #ChristusVivit #ChristusResurrexit #Alleluia #BlessTheBees 🐝
A Paschal Candle is lit after an Easter Vigil. It obscures a crucifix behing it.

Remember that Contempt of Court is still a thing over on Bluesky!
An 80s Neon nu-wave style poster. The text reads "Remember, you do not have to post"...with "post" obviously having been (deliberately poorly) edited onto the graphic.

"And that's why mum's go to Iceland...no. Iceland, Donald. No, no Mr. President, Greenland is altogether different"

David Mitchell in "That Mitchell and Webb Look" dressed as a Nazi. The punchline to the sketch is this Nazi, in a moment of truly awful self-realisation asking "Are we the baddies?" in the 2nd World War.

#BackToTheFuture is my favourite film and has been for decades. Tonight I saw the #BackToTheFuture:TheMusical and it was was THE BEST AND MOST EXCITING SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. It brought my favourite ever film to life right infront of me! Spectacular!
An old-time style cinema board. It says "Back to the Future - The Musical".

The BBC saw the meme potential and they took it! Fair play to them! #TheTraitors
Two men on BBC programme 'The Traitors' carry a grey stone 'torso' up a hill. The 'torso' has more than a passing resemblance to a phallus.

One of the Lessons from the Irish #GE24 is the same as so many coalitions across the world: An unusual and disproportionally minor party of a coalition will invariably suffer heavy losses, usually to the benefit of the major coalition partner. [Graph by @irelandvotes.bsky.social]
An chart showing the seat totals after the Irish 2024 General election, compared to Seats won in 2020. There has been a 10+ Gain for Fianna Fáil; the Greens (the smallest part in the previous FF-FG-Green coalition) shows they lost 10 seats. FG gained 3; Sinn Féin (the major opposition party) gained 2. The smaller opposition parties also (generally) made gains.
