Growing wealth inequality is a ticking timebomb . I'm truly sorry Man's dominion has broken Nature's social union. Cats are people too. And trees. Hate litter

Are you hoping for some snow?☃️
Colder air will make a return next week, but this time it will be joined by more unsettled weather. This means there is likely to be some snow in places. How much and where is still uncertain but there is the potential for some disruption due to snow and ice.

The Luycho Mirror Cup uses a clever combination of barrier grid animation and anamorphic projection to create an animated bird as your viewpoint changes.

In a Scottish glen about 24 km (15 mi) from Ben Nevis, three perfectly level lines run for miles along the hillside, at 260 m, 325 m and 350 m (850 ft, 1,066 ft and 1,150 ft).
They look very much like roads, but aren't. In fact, their name is the Parallel Roads of Glen Roy.

In a groundbreaking social initiative, Albuquerque, New Mexico launched a program that pays homeless individuals to clean streets, parks, and public areas.
The idea was simple — offers work, dignity, and purpose instead of punishment or pity.
The results were remarkable: over 70% of participants have now secured permanent housing or full-time employment, transforming their lives and communities alike. The city’s “There’s a Better Way” program proves that compassion-driven policies can be more effective than traditional welfare systems.

Did some U.S.A. planes move to Prestwick? We're used to the attitude that Nuclear base at Faslane is fine but too dangerous to be based anywhere in England. @andyburnham

On Sauchiehall st, Glasgow the other day, I passed by the O2 ABC (awaiting demolition), the art school (burned down twice) and the CCA (shut down) and I realised that - through neglect & factional fighting - the cultural life many of us lived in the city centre is gone.

I keep thinking these horrific scenes coming out of Gaza must be Ai
But sadly- no.
Children freezing and drenched.
I honestly don't know what I'd do if this was my family and my life.
I don't know if Israel is blocking aid but I do know @andyburnham @UKLabour need to do something FAST.

EXC: Every emergency consultant at Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital has warned Scotland's health watchdog that patient harm is now a “daily reality” in A&E.
Their letter, seen by @heraldscotland, has been described as "chilling."🧵

I remember when I lived in #Gaza just how devastating the rains were each November - and that was without almost an entire population sheltering in tents and under flimsy plastic sheeting!
Israel’s obstruction of all forms of shelter and aid is an atrocity!

New documents released by the Scottish government under a freedom of information request show that data centres could cause water shortages, higher energy bills and power cuts.
