  1. Why Would Anyone Come Here?

    The US is shit. Completely. Why would anyone from outside of the US chose to come here?

    Then again, the Scottish soccer fans who came to Boston for the World Cup were an absolute delight. Boston’s fun level increased by at least 600%. Of course they left Boston and went to maga central, Miami where the police cracked down on the fun. You know, like fucking nazis do.

    On top of that, there is the glorious Rush tour. Two Canadians (Geddy and Alex), one German (Anika), and… I don’t actually know where Loren Gold is from. He played with The Who, is he English? He played with Chicago, is he American? There’s this thing these days called “the internet” and I used it to look up his professional website and it says he’s American… so he doesn’t actually count for this discussion.

    What was I saying? Oh yeah, a band with a bunch of non-Americans who have a crew who is probably also made up of a lot of non-Americans. They played four shows in the US and then two in Mexico. They left the country and then had to come back into the country for a show tonight in Texas… and the show has been postponed because of some issue at the border crossing.

    What was it I said at the start of this post? The US is shit. Miami giving the Tartan Army shit? Texas border crossing giving Rush shit? We are so unworthy. The fuck?

  5. This road looks quite different compared to two days ago when we were last here.

    Before the blizzard and storm "dave" 😅

    Power lines are still being repaired, though they are quite quick about it here.

  9. One of the most famous image captions on Wikipedia evolved over time:

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish

    "The penguin's feet were tied while Kerr tested its reaction to the music."

    This example also shows the importance of the ALT tags on the Mastodon.

  11. Looking for somewhere to stay in Glasgow then Edinburgh around New Year. There's lots of choice, but all the hotels seem very corporate, any hotels near the centre owned by locals left?

  13. @levampyre 2/2
    Gerade weil ich die natürliche Welt so bewundere bin ich #notjustsad
    Was hätten wir (Menschen) mit unseren Möglichkeiten alles erreichen können. If only...

    Und deshalb versuche ich, mit möglichst wenig "Hinterlassenschaft", noch so viel Natur zu sehen/erleben wie's noch(!) geht.

  14. Loch Long, an t-Àrchar agus trusgan de cheò bhon t-seana ionad Chabhlach Rìoghail.

    Loch Long - "lake of ships" - Arrochar and mist as seen from the disused Royal Navy depot. The loch takes its name from the Norse raiders that plundered near here before the Battle of Largs.

  16. Redcaps are a type of murderous goblin that soak their hats in the blood of their victims. According to Sir Walter Scott’s 'Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border,' “Every ruined tower in the south of Scotland is supposed to have an inhabitant of this species.” #BookologyThursday

  18. ‘Nippit Fit and Clippit Fit’ is a Scottish Cinderella story without a fairy godmother or a royal ball. Instead, a prince simply finds a tiny glass “fairy shoe” amongst his family’s treasures and decides to only marry a woman that was dainty enough to wear it. #LegendaryWednesday

  23. I have never seen a #docudrama quite like Culloden.

    "The 1746 Battle of Culloden, the last land battle fought in the British Isles and the battle that ensured that Scotland was controlled by England."
