I am BEGGING the BBC to stop calling them “anti-immigration” protesters, they’re racists. If they’re shouting racist abuse, and attacking people of colour, they’re racist. Call them what they are. Racists, stirred up by right-wing politicians and media. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In short, this is a marathon relay race. IMO our work is to pick up the baton and do our part, hand that baton over when we can't do our part and then get back in the race as soon as we can, etc etc etc...

No two ways about it, he had the wow factor.

Last few days to catch the excellent wee exhibition on the history of @partickthistle.bsky.social at @maryhillburghhalls.bsky.social. My fav was the mascot section. Also theres a good cafe in the burgh hall!

These are archives of global importance run by some fabulous archivists. How we write the history of refugees is at stake if we allow the continued destruction of this.

Last time I was in the art deco Broadway cinema in Prestwick, the town I grew up in, the community group regenerating it had just been given the keys to the neglected building. Today, as part of a private members event, they showed a film for the 1st time in 50 years. Was thrilling to be there.

I am also briefly in this programme, doing a tour of the social history of Govanhill Baths. So buzzing to hear it!

Enjoyed this film. Unbelievable selection of "no way, that guy!" casting for the supporting characters. I found it a really charming and uplifting film, if you are in need of that: letterboxd.com/film/dinner-...

Dinner in America (2020)

An on-the-lam punk rocker and a young woman obsessed with a local band go on an unexpected and epic journey together through the decaying suburbs of the American Midwest.

the thing about llms is that they copy old work and have no ability to intentionally pursue lateral leaps of creative insight, so a world ruled by ai is a world of endless recycling of the past. imagine that. culture eating itself. imagine that. totalitarian nostalgia. imagine
