The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Join us at Fantasycon for the launch! Tablet, wine, and fine, fine stories! Some Scotland-based, some elsewhere in the universe, but all with the passion you've come to expect from the GSFWC...

Eels weren't just an English thing; Scotland has an eel history, too! Famed 14th C. king Robert the Bruce loved his eels. Too much, maybe. His doctor thought the king risked his health by eating them, as eels live in "muddy & corrupt waters." Did the Bruce care? No. He did not. 🗃️🧪

Meme. Still of Robert the Bruce from the movie "Braveheart." Bobby is sitting on a throne, his hand on his forehead. He is wearing sumptuous clothes and a super-fancy gold chain with jewels. He looks kingly, but also rather hassled. His expression reads as worried and/or annoyed. He is staring straight ahead, though not quite at you. It seems as if he's looking at your right shoulder. Do you have something perched there, like a basket of baby crocodiles? 

The Big Bruce is sporting a running-out of patience vibe. He's done with you and your baby crocs, and all he really wants is for you to finish what you're saying so that he can get back to bing-watching Warrior Nuns on Netflix. You're giving him a migraine, and it's going to take several bowls of ice cream to forget about you.

Somedays it's good to be king. Somedays it's all headaches and door-to-door crocodile salesmen.

Meme text reads:
"Trying to rule Scotland
But all you can
think about are eels"

The SNP have teamed up with the Tories and Lib Dems. They've voted down a Green motion which would have brought in a moratorium against new hyperscale AI data centres in Scotland. Instead they've chosen to muddy the water, leaving confusion when our communities need certainty.

Breaking. SNP, Tories and Lib Dems block Green pause on data centres.
