Are Fringe audiences getting even worse? Saw the excellent Mike Wozniak put on an utterly charming show last night, only slightly let down by a pretty lifeless crowd. I know it's half ten on a Sunday guys, but try and give the guy *something*.

Thanks to the ticket exchange and a Sunday kick off, I can actually make a rare trip to Tynecastle today. Would be nice if we'd picked just one specialist defender who can actually, y'know, DEFEND, but looking forward to the chaos regardless.
This is awesome news - still don't know/understand the circs of her leaving Hearts, but she did a fantastic job here & I'm delighted to see her get such a high-profile gig. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Over 150,000 came out in full force for London Trans+ Pride to say loud and clear: Trans rights are human rights 💖
Look, there’s a lot to dispute here, but I am quite concerned that JK Rowling appears to think “pantomime” and “crow’s” are adjectives.
OK, I watched thru 2 hours of that shit, the assassination attempt at the presentation had better be fuckin worth it.
Made the mistake of watching the Craig Gordon farewell video on a break at work. Might need a minute 😭
I know he's playing to the gallery, but the tone he's taking is pretty hard to swallow. 'Massive club' etc etc. Dead to me.
Cammy Devlin has been announced as a Rangers player after leaving Heart of Midlothian. He links up with Derek McInnes and Lawrence Shankland.
RIP bonnie tyler. lotta folks tonight are gonna learn the extent to which 'total eclipse of the heart' is outside their karaoke range
Seriously, Agnostic fuckin Front, man... Feels like angry music has hardly been more vital at any other point in my life. 'Crucified' was one of the 1st songs I played with a garage band 30+yrs ago - and they're still playing wee rooms NO COMPROMISE and inspiring this old guy to go fuckin mental
Circle pit in my late 40s? Well, I suppose just a wee taste...
The calm before the storm... In Glasgow for Agnostic Front, but managed to come thru early & grab a couple in the State before getting shouty. What a pub.
This is the thing - sometimes VAR is not only correct, it's absolutely essential. Without its intervention, and with that referee, who knows how this game would have finished.
In his final test innings, Stokes puts his ego & value in his own mythology ahead of the needs of his team. No denying his talent, commitment & incredible moments over the years, but his many flaws as a leader shouldn't be ignored.
My strongest memory of Starmer will be his 2024 conference speech, where he said "every child deserves respect", a young activist said "does that include the children of Gaza?", and he laughed and said "he's obviously got a pass to the 2019 conference".
Big day in the Kemmer household as Dex heads off to Tynie High for his 3 day transition visit. Plenty of nerves on both sides but so proud of him - he's ready for it, for sure. Still working out whether I am tho.
Ask anyone close to me, I've been 100% consistent in this last season - I give full credit to McInness for what he achieved, but I never took to the guy. Shite brand of football & seemed a bit of a prick. Had a strange habit of taking against certain players without obvious reason (Wilson, Borch)
Anyone else collecting Panini stickers? I got three Swiss Cheese in one pack
If this time travel experiment works, I should be able to go from here and now and reappea—

I have zero sympathy for anyone travelling to the World Cup when the inevitable crying begins about scalping prices, long queues, bad treatment, forged tickets, delays, police brutality et al. None whatsoever.
Fucking delighted if the goblin stays on at Parkheid. When we canter to the title I want him in the dugout greetin. Or better still, punted when we establish a twenty point lead by xmas.
Awesome to see Mercedes back on #AEWDynamite. Sadly it says everything about the company's booking of the women that the big return STILL happens in the usual mid-second-hour graveyard slot.
Delighted to see Arsenal fuck up the moneyleague final, until I remembered what evil cunts they were beaten by. Modern football sucks.
