Cheese slicer. Tonight's moon and the Queensferry Crossing bridge over the Firth of Forth, although this one is really the Fourth of Forth when we count in the Kincardine one.

Brazil’s election result means, simply , the Amazon can breathe a deep sigh of relief - and if it can , you can.

Does this guy ever stop moaning?
He should start a podcast.

Just started Alice Cooper's autobiography. Already I can tell its going to be excellent. This is NOT going to be the usual "wild men live crazy" rock & roll read.

Leaked footage of the dress rehearsals for the Scottish Greens Party Conference being held in Inverness later this week.

“What is it mein Fuhrer?”
“It’s from Steve Witkoff. He’s nominated me for the Nobel Peace Prize.”
Unparodayable. (New word - just invented it).

‘Effective immediate’ Trump wrote on ‘Truth Social’ at the weekend. ‘There is an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. Both sides have agreed.’
Not a single word of that post is true.
There is no energy ceasefire. It is not effective immediate.
Ukraine has agreed in principle. But Trump’s pal Putin has not.
Pal Putin refused when Trump last said there was an energy ceasefire (Sept 14 — bollocks then, bollocks now).
Russia is still trying to cripple Ukraine’s energy infrastructure in advance of winter.
There have been 196 Russian attacks on Ukrainian electricity in the past week. They continue. Over 20 attacks on Ukrainian oil and gas. They continue.
And 153 Ukrainians, mainly civilians, killed in these and other attacks on residential areas.
Yet Trump calls for Zelensky to be deposed, blames him for war continuing, high energy prices (NOT his failing war on Iran!).
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Truly Olympic-grade cuntery here. There were no "experiences" (save one consensual one for which an apology was accepted). The jury was asked to believe some extremely implausible lies, and declined. An innocent man was cleared. Farquharson smears his memory like a coward.

The SNP has serious questions to answer about this money. Almost £100,000 of public cash went to a company directed by one of Alex Salmond’s accusers in the 18 months after his acquittal, according to today’s Sunday Mail.
Who authorised these payments? What were they for? What checks were made?
And what did senior SNP figures mean by getting this woman “back in the game”?
John Swinney must answer these questions and publish the funding records. Every penny came from taxpayers. They are entitled to the full truth.

Trump’s diesel deal with Putin makes no sense (it’s also immoral since it will fund the ailing Kremlin war machine).
The US has no need of Russian diesel. It already refines more than enough for domestic demand — with 1.5m b/d for export.
Russia has no diesel to export. Ukrainian drones have taken out a third of Russian refining capacity, turning Russia into a net importer of diesel (from India).
The volumes involved are derisory. The initial Russian offer = 2.2m barrels. The US consumes 3.5m b/d.
The price of diesel at the US pump is between $6/6.50. That won’t change before the midterms. The deal does nothing to help Trump in these elections.
But it bolsters Putin and undermines Ukraine.
