Flicked over to the rugby twice, for 30 seconds each time and the camera-man has been focused on Gerard Butler more than the actual play

Finally watched Adam Curtis' "Century Of Self" this week and it helped me understand our current political moment a bit more.

According to Curtis, the rise of mass marketing in the 1900s changed the "citizen" into a "consumer". And I believe a similar shift is happening again.

Short thread...

remarkable to me that far from seeming cool or masculine zuck seems like an even bigger loser β€”Β the kind of nerd who preemptively gives his lunch money to the bully and thanks him for the opportunity

First time round, Rodgers was the master-tactician with his in-game changes when we were under the cosh. Now, he seems to just brings subs on and expect things to change without tweaking the system

Is 'Queen of the New Year' the best that Scottish comedy has to offer? Utter tripe.

Now BBC has Marti Pellow performing...to bring in the bells in 2025. Dearie me!

You shouldn’t be allowed to celebrate Christmas if you hate people who seek refuge in a strange land so they can have a baby.

This. This. This.

And that message carries across a huge range of circumstances.

Two-Tier Reporting: When Climate Protesters Slow Ambulances They’re Vilified, So Why Are Wealthy Farmers Given a Free Pass? Media outlets rush to condemn climate change campaigners as "middle class" protesters causing "chaos" while ignoring greater disruption by millionaire landowners

Remember all the outraged coverage about a handful of climate protesters slowing ambulances a few years back?

Well it turns out that wealthy farmers doing exactly the same thing on a much bigger scale is absolutely fine

We are sandwiched between Real Madrid and Man City in the CL table, primed for a place in the playoffs, and you still have Mitchell bumping his gums about "luck".

Seriously odd behaviour for a Celtic fan 🧐

#OTD 2019. β€œBrexit” Election. Johnson and the Conservatives win majority of 80.

It is Tories biggest win since 1987 and their highest share of the popular vote since 1979.

Labour drop to lowest number of MPs since 1935.

Club Brugge join those fortunate enough to have experienced the legendary thunderous Celtic Park Champions League Roar

Unfortunately it looked like the tremendous atmosphere made them raise their game as they dominated the first half of tonight's encounter.
