Another spot at the little haven between WOL and Longstone Inn @wolct.bsky.social and @longstonecc.bsky.social Clouded Yellow Butterfly. Not uncommon elsewhere but not often spotted in Edinburgh- will be here due to the recent weather. I was fair delighted to see it @savebutterflies.bsky.social

Could Lowe go any lower? "Sixteen wee children killed and their teacher. 15 injured. But his regret here? That his father lost his pistols" This tells you all you need to know - other people's lives are an inconsequential inconvenience to him.
The National@scotnational.bsky.social · 4w agoHard-right MP Rupert Lowe’s claim that the Dunblane massacre was “just one murder” has been branded “despicable” by the town’s MSP
I can't describe how much I love the scruffy ground behind the derelict Longstone Inn. With 8+ species of butterfly, 2 day flying moths, lots of birds including kestrel & swallow and an abundance of glorious textured wild flowers. @longstonecc.bsky.social I hope this haven remains untouched
Proud of our city for showing out in very large numbers today to proclaim: Edinburgh & Leith are anti-racist. #whoseCityOurCity #SUTR Nae Pasaran.
The end of an era - After almost a century we said goodbye this morning to our great companion of the airwaves Radio 4 198 LW. I shall miss her warmth and crackle. Here’s the final sign off at the end of #theshippingforecast before she fell silent… ❤️
If they want to improve humanity, and avoid unintended consequences, and reduce the threat of AI, there is one really obvious thing they could do that does not involve tech bros inflicting their views on anyone other than themselves.
Mother Jones@motherjones.com · 2mo agoSome of the same billionaires who bankrolled AI now admit the technology could one day kill us all. And they’re funding a new plan to stop it—genetically engineered genius babies.
A wee group of angry balaclava and mask-wearing anti-immigration guys tried to stop the good people of Glasgow showing solidarity with migrants and standing up to racism and fascism. Well, the far right are far outnumbered... #RefugeesWelcome #MigrantsWelcome #NeighboursNotStrangers #Glasgow
Hate has no home here! A tiny number (any is too many) of masked, hooded, fascists head were surrounded, outnumbered, and driven away from the Buchannan steps and replaced by a huge crowd of anti racists. Replace fascism with solidarity. One love.
Proud of the trade union movement and Scotland for turning out in huge numbers to oppose the far right, to reclaim the streets, and say refugees are welcome here. Nae Pasaran
