We’re out but never down!
It’s been a whirlwind of spreading joy, relocating traffic cones and forging new friendships.
Nobody does it like the Tartan Army.

Dozens of countries have qualified for recent World Cups and most fans barely left a trace.
In their first World Cup week for 28 years, Scotland fans have:
Twinned Glasgow with Boston
Misplaced every traffic cone
Drank all the beer, literally
Irn Bru world record
Taken over baseball
A Guatemalan guy asked me what Yes Sir, I Can Boogie is so he could add it to his playlist 🕺
A Moroccan guy asked me about Loch Lomond (the song)
People LOVE Scotland!
What else did I miss?
Hands up anyone who's a grandparent? So are we. To 92 elephant calves.
How? We've pioneered the rescue and reintegration of orphaned elephants – and our approach has been so successful, they've been fully accepted by wild herds, not to mention a number of wild bulls. Now we're watching family trees unfold before our very eyes – and since the door back home is always left open to any orphan that leaves our care, we get to witness playtimes like this all the time.
Follow us for more elephant playtimes.
My flight was being served by an obviously gay flight attendant, who seemed to put everyone in a good mood as he served us food and drinks. 🥰
As the plane prepared to descend, he came swishing down the aisle and told us that "Captain Marvey has asked me to announce that he'll be landing the big scary plane shortly, so lovely people, if you could just put your trays up, that would be super."
On his trip back up the aisle, he noticed this well-dressed and rather Arabic-looking woman hadn't moved a muscle.
"Perhaps you didn't hear me over those big brute engines but I asked you to raise your trazy-poo, so the main man can pitty-pat us on the ground."
She calmly turned her head and said, "In my country, I am called a Princess and I take orders from no one."
To which (I swear) the flight attendant replied, without missing a beat, "Well, sweet-cheeks, in my country I'm called a Queen, so I outrank you.
Tray-up, Bi*ch."
NYC Mayor Mamdani announces that they have fully balanced NYC's budget, reducing a $12 billion budget deficit to 0. While funding parks, libraries, safer streets and making historic investments in public housing.
But... communism...
When we came into office, we uncovered a $12 billion budget deficit.
Today, I’m proud to say we brought it down to zero.
We didn’t close the gap on the backs of working people.
We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets and making historic investments in public housing.
Call it Pothole Politics. Call it Democratic Socialism. It's government that delivers for the people who make this city run.
That’s what New Yorkers deserve. And that’s what we will keep fighting for every single day.
