A 1900 Glasgow style tenement on the corner of London Road and Springfield Road in the East End of Glasgow. I've just learned that this type of building, which has a corner angle of greater than 90 degrees, is called a Splayed Building. This makes it the opposite of the Gushet Buildings I tend to feature way too frequently!

But this brings us to the unbearable conclusion that we are entrusting all our data and business processes to the new King of America… because we can’t be bothered to get used to a different word processor, or make an effort to support other software.

@mad Which is a real shame, because so many Jews are very much against the genocide, the Netanyahu government is responsible for.
Looking out across a misty Loch Lomond from Rowerdennan yesterday afternoon. This is another of the wonderful locations you can reach within an hour of Glasgow, unless you're walking the West Highland Way. If you are, it'll probably take you a couple of days or so to get here. The view's well worth the effort, though.

Even the first question is a challenge, as I was born on an Island nation, but my birth was registered in another, and I then lived in several more.
If I ignore the four or five countries I might say I'm 'from', I'd have a fair stab at another three to five that have close ties (if I was given names and asked to place them).
My knowledge of the African countries is very poor. I 'd struggle to correctly place even half the countries, let alone states/provinces within them.

We are being seriously spoilt for sunrises this Spring.
Here in the U.K. and we're just over a week after the local elections which saw far right Reform party win a large number of seats.
1 has resigned.
2 have left Reform and are serving as independents.
18 are being investigated for posting far right hate tweets.
And you just know we're only weeks away from the leadership challenge by Andrea Jenkins.

53 years ago today: dated in some ways; sharply contemporary in others; timeless at its core. Always worth a re-read if you work in education.
For the avoidance of doubt: I agree with the duck.

A rather wonderful example of a wally close I came across today in Mount Florida on the Southside of Glasgow.

Altered No Entry signs in Glasgow. These have either been created by artist Clet Abraham, or have been inspired by his work. The first one is on Duke Street, while the other two are by on Dalhousie Street by the Glasgow School of Art.

"Conservatives *hate* complexity"
a superb post by @pluralistic that distills a core aspect of why right-wing ideas about how to manage things like the economy, immigration and our personal lives collide so rapidly with reality
