  1. 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)

  2. 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

  3. 🌙 #Helicon's "Château H" reimagined by #DRoss blends psychedelia with trip-hop & afro-dub grooves. Named after a French castle sanctuary for artists, this hypnotic remix slows everything down with ethereal vocals & haunting violin. Out now before UK/EU tour! #FuzzClub #BestNewMusic2025 #Week10 💫

  4. #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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. Douglas Ross, assistant referee and Tory leader in Scotland.

    He's not backward when it comes to making a fool of himself in public.

  13. 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.
