Biking is such a pleasant, human way to get around. On my way to work today I said good morning to a friend I passed, admired all the other baby seats on bikes, and had a short conversation with a woman wearing a cool embroidered jacket. It must be so lonely to drive everywhere.

But if you just want to read some acclaimed urban fantasy, we've got you covered. Start here; take a break every act or so; stay hydrated; enjoy!

I also urged The Scottish Government to retain robust #RentControls and tenants' protections in the Housing Bill, focus on homelessness prevention, and support the Fair Work Charter.

I will continue working with Engender & Close The Gap to strengthen Public Sector Equality Duty obligations.

And, this coming week, in amongst all the events and debates that will be happening in Parliament, I'm looking forward recognising the bicentenary of the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service!

"What would you say if the book was callled Spots the Jedi?"

I still wouldn't give a fuck, but was I really supposed to act like these things were exactly the same?

Setting aside the absurdity of the idea they invented that combination of words, can we just take a minute to bask in the sheer fucking audacity of the Games Workshop crowd getting pissy about the idea of someone borrowing their swag?

Your whole deal is Tolkein in Nemesis the Warlock drag, boyce. Sit the fuck down.

Re: Marvel and DC not owning "superhero" - I mind being on a stag do with some Black Library goons while the "Spots the Space Marine" legal battle was going down. They were all outraged by the idea that someone else could write about marines... in space. Fuck off!

A U.S. Court has ruled that Marvel and DC Comics no longer hold the trademark for the term “Superhero”: https://playascifi.com/marvel-dc-lose-superhero-trademark/

All I'm saying is, all the hottest people are backing @withryn's kickstarter. Hot people love panel layouts that make you think your way through what's being felt on the page, who knew?

"When I lived in Scotland folks would ask me what I missed about living in America. My family and friends, and the Sycamore trees, was my answer."

Five years ago (!) today, we published Untitled Goose Game. Being a part of that game was an unforgettable life highlight for every single one of us at Panic. Thank you for playing/honking.

To celebrate, we’re releasing from the vault a little test of an “Untitled Goose Programme” that we made for fun. Please enjoy it.

I was having a nice day until I saw this and have made the executive decision to make it all y'all's problem as well

Dundee was looking very good this week.

@glencoe aye, the sense of a rare chance having been missed... sore as fuck on the day, and this latest line-up can only make it worse.

The original Orson Welles twitter thread by Sean McTiernan: Strong from start to finish, bang on with the voice, unexpected subject matter.

Every other Orson Welles/Columbo/Alf ventriloquist act: Undead on arrival, ropey grasp of the art, an encyclopedia of dead patter.

Last two posts: grim that we're still to scrabble to keep rail fares down when we should be making public transport free to use. David Cameron's Britain, eh? What? Huh?
