The substance and essence of Christianity as I understand it is eternal and unchangeable and will bear examination forever but it has been mixed with extraneous ingredients which I think will not bear examination and they ought to be separated

A quotation from Archibald MacLeish
The one man who should never attempt an explanation of a poem is its author. If the poem can be improved by the author’s explanations it never should have been published, and if the poem cannot be improved by its author’s explanations the explanations are scarcely worth reading.
Archibald MacLeish (1892–1982) American poet, writer, statesman
Poems, “Author’s Note” (1938)More info about this quote: wist.info/macleish-archibald/7…

Pride is like dross on silver, hiding the pure metal within. That pride is the impurities that build up on ourselves. It's the rock stuff that we build up on the outside. #pride #dross #silver #purity #motivation

#Australia's #Gumtrees / #Eucalypts / Teatrees do their own version of spraying the paving with weedkiller.
They drop lots of bark, branches and leaves, all of which contain plant growth-inhibitors. #EucalyptusOil being the most widely know.
This reduces both competition and unfavourable soil changes.
I saw the word #Dross being applied to this dropped material. But with gbbgle having stuffed the net can't find the site.
Below is a pic showing newly fallen bark on top of older dross.

As Malcolm didn't say to Duncan, "nothing in this job became him like the leaving it"
Does this cast Murdo Fraser as Macbeth?

"But ye gotta know where ye're just gonna rush in. Ye cannae just rush in anywhere. It looks bad, havin' to rush oout again straight awa'."

Couldn’t shuffle a pack of cards. And it’s a pack with an excess of Jokers and Knaves.
“According to The Times, the media learned of some of Ross’s planned manoeuvres before the MSPs affected did.” 😂
“The reshuffle has seen loyalists to the current Tory leader moved into more influential positions, while those rumoured to be moving against him were shifted down the ladder.”
Ah, the Johnson Protocol in action.

What a tosser.
Or as Greens MSP Ross Greer put it: “You really are a nasty little bigot.”
Guess who?

Police Scotland is rightly being castigated today for institutional racism.
It is, however, sickening to see Scots Tory leader, try to score political points on this issue. If he really wishes to help defeat racism then perhaps he should look closer to home? And by that, I don't just mean his party.

Why has #DRoss not demanded to know why #Sturgeon was piloting the ferry that ran aground in #Orkney 🤔😉

Douglas Ross, assistant referee and Tory leader in Scotland.
He's not backward when it comes to making a fool of himself in public.

#DRoss put back in his box by his chief in London. He doesn't know it, or doesn't want to, but it's another argument for #ScottishIndependence

Hahaha just seen a headlight where #Dross claims an SNP bias at BBC Scotland. Given the levels of corruption in the appointments to the BBC board over the last 12 years of Tory rule. Fuck me, what a shower of cunts.
