I’m on the side of the 10 year old. Gladiators over football every time.

Damn me, but all things are queer

The stars and squares of the ceiling of the Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow. Strava stats superimposed on the left show a 20km run done in 2:11hr

20km followed by a gig at the Barrowlands? My legs are fully going to hate me tomorrow after the longest run of this training block, but I’m not missing #LessThanJake and #TheBouncingSouls. Thank heavens for ibuprofen and a sprung floor… #RunningPunks

I am SO looking forward to this session!

Has @oldenoughtosay.com seen this one yet?

Honestly, it’s mostly fine, which is why suddenly coming across these groups is so jarring!

A bit of situational awareness is important when we’re out in shared spaces, so maybe take a second to stop gurning into your GoPro or farting about with your horrible Bluetooth speaker, to pay attention to the other runners, cyclists, and pedestrians who have as much right to be there as you.

Glasgow appears to have fallen to the 20-something man who wants to be a runfluencer and has started a run club, which wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing (the more people running the better, IMHO) but apparently LEARNING TO SHARE THE PATH isn’t part of the pre-run briefing.

Deep Space Nine scene. Jadzia Dax and Dr. Bashir are in their blue uniforms sitting in the operations center. Bashir is gazing lovingly at Dax. Dax is looking at something else entirely not named Bashir. Closed caption reads, "Men are far too emotional to be leaders."

I tell people that if the government is covering up the existence of aliens, NASA is absolutely not involved, because astrobiologists can't keep a secret to save their lives

Wishing you safe and healthy travels! I hope it all goes well at Westminster.

Well, it's been a busy day prepping for my upcoming appearance in Westminster👇. The chocolate is all gone. This thread contains evidenced statistics to support the continued (not cut) funding for UK particle, astro and nuclear physics (PPAN). Thanks to everyone who contributed today! 🧵

Now more than ever, you don't have to be cutting and pasting batshit posts that you have seen over on That Other Site and also, for fuck's sake, get off That Other Site, again, now more than ever

It’s been a nice way to get to know a side of her I didn’t when I was a kid. I can understand why she used to bring her running kit on holiday now!

This is FAB though, you were practically obliged to take it home.

Me, a white woman in my 40’s, taking a selfie on the Govan Bridge over the Clyde at the end of a run. I’m wearing a pink baseball cap, blue running top, and grey hydration vest. I’m smiling at the camera.

A photo of a photo from the 90’s showing a white woman in her 40’s, with short bobbed brown hair and gold rimmed glasses. She’s standing in a garden on a sunny day after taking part in the Glasgow Women’s 10km. She’s wearing a white vest, black shorts, white trainers, and has a medal round her neck. She’s got her hands on her hips and looks delighted with herself.

As anniversaries go, today is always rough to a greater or lesser extent, but I went out for a run which helped, and it reminded me that the apple clearly didn’t fall far from the tree. My mum has been gone for 28 years, but her influence is most definitely still kicking. #RunningPunks

Turns out you can win elections without being horribly right-wing, and I’m not just talking about Reform here, but the chances of Kier taking any learning from this are slim at best.

Wishing Labour and Reform the day they deserve today. Huge congratulations to the Green’s Hannah Spencer.

Mumsnet campaign demands ban on social media for under-16s Resembling cigarette packet warnings, the ads highlight dangers and urge people to email MPs

The site where folk were absolutely brainrotted into the pits of transphobia also being the site calling for a ban on social media is WILD.

Taking good news when it happens, this is fantastic!

So they’ve adjusted the weather, but the tarmac really does just look Like That? Man alive, that’s some car park chic.

I for sure saw the ‘shopping when I was house hunting, there were altogether too many sunny vistas from Glaswegian tenements to be real!

Why are they using AI rendered photos? Does the real thing somehow look worse on the outside?

I had a goldfinch singing its wee heart out in the tree outside my bedroom window this morning. What a joy!

I keep hearing that the Epstein files are so big if we held everyone accountable everything would collapse. And no it wouldn’t. These rich guys don’t do any actual work. They aren’t actually important or useful they are just rich.

I’m sorry but she paid Virginia £12m, she knew everything and if she didn’t, her people really weren’t doing their jobs properly. Less of the vulnerable old lady shiz.

STARFLEET ACADEMY (2026)

Absolutely delighted that even though we’re only one day into the month, I’m being shown umpteen very sleepy #RamadanCats on Instagram. Ramadan Mubarak to all of them, and to their owners, of course.

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!
