THESE ISLES: Medieval Scottish warrior Sir William Wallace has been celebrated by 19th century historians as a national hero, debunked by others as a self-serving outlaw and immortalised by Mel Gibson in the film Braveheart. 1/6

A biologist looks deeper into biology and finds chemistry.

A chemist looks deeper into chemistry and finds physics.

A physicist looks deeper into physics and finds mathematics.

A mathematician looks deeper into mathematics and finds logic.

A logician looks deeper into logic and finds philosophy.

A philosopher looks deeper into philosophy and starts questioning everything.

[IN TRUMP WE TRUST @TrumpweTrust47]

Here is George Clooney’s response after Trump accused him of being a "Hollywood elite."

"Here’s the thing: I grew up in Kentucky. I sold insurance door-to-door. I sold ladies’ shoes. I worked at an all-night liquor store. I would buy suits that were too big and too long and cut the bottom of the pants off to make ties so I’d have a tie to go on job interviews. I grew up understanding what it was like to not have health insurance for eight years.

So this idea that I’m somehow the “Hollywood elite” and this guy who takes a shit in a gold toilet is somehow the man of the people is laughable.

People in Hollywood, for the most part, are people from the Midwest who moved to Hollywood to have a career. So this idea of “coastal elites” living in a bubble is ridiculous. Who lives in a bigger bubble?

He lives in a gold tower and has twelve people in his company. He doesn’t run a corporation of hundreds of thousands of people he employs and takes care of. He ran a company of twelve people!

When you direct a film you have seven different unions all wanting different things, you have to find consensus with all of them, and you have to get them moving in the same direction.

He’s never had to do any of that kind of stuff. I just look at it and I laugh when I see him say “Hollywood elite.” Hollywood elite? I don’t have a star on Hollywood Boulevard, Donald Trump has a star on Hollywood Boulevard! Fuck you!"

This week's Friday pub is the Queen's Park Cafe on Victoria Rd. There has been a pub on this site since 1870. It was run by John A McArthur until the mid-1870s, and his wife Margaret took control of the business after his death until 1885. It was then sold to Alexander Sutherland

🔥 This audience member on #bbcqt absolutely nails it.

"We don't run a country based on opinion polls", but on elections.

The Tories haven't won in Scotland since 1955, and pro-independence parties won an overwhelming mandate for #indyref2. That's basic democracy.

Old MAGA white lady says I should “go back to my own country” if I don’t like Donald Trump’s America.

So, I parked my buffalo in her driveway, set up my teepee on her front yard and said “I’m home, what’s for dinner?”

National Museums Scotland announced it had acquired a rare, 8thC, gold sword pommel #OTD in 2022. A detectorist found it at Blair Drummond, Stirling, in 2019. Encrusted with garnets, it has eyes and a beak on each end. 📸National Museums Scotland

BREAKING: A reporter asked Mike Johnson today, “Should we bother asking you a question about Jared Kushner treasonously manipulating US foreign policy behind Marco Rubio’s back with billions in laundered bribes sitting in secret bank accounts, or have you not heard about it yet?"
