This is how I feel too. I think a lot of people (Americans included) needed these good vibes and energy

[Callum Beattie @callumbeattieuk]

know I’m biased, but Scotland might be the best thing about this World Cup.

In a world that feels at times exhausted, Scots have turned up with humour, self-deprecation and a reminder that football is supposed to be fun.

The world needed a smile and it’s arrived 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👏

Tartan Army taking over Fenway Park and making them play Bits n Pieces and Mr Brightside fills my heart with pride

Remember before HDMI cables where you had to match the colors to the TV like you were diffusing a bomb

Seeing the people of Boston fall in love with the tartan army has been a breath of fresh air on this here website

Who is an actor that only gets 5-10 minutes of screen time but completely steals the entire movie?

[David Bratchpiece @bratchy1]

Yes. A work of genius imo. Interesting to watch now as it was released on the cusp of the rise of reality tv and then of course social media. And Ed Harris should have gotten the oscar as well.

SPOILER!!
The Truman Show, released OTD, feels more relevant now than it did 28 years ago, and this ending is still one of the most satisfying of the 90s.
"There's no fake in you, Truman. That's what made you so good to watch." Truman was the "authentic" content we now crave

I see AI data centres are coming to Scotland to sook up all our water and resources. I feel like in building these centres we're a bit like slaves in ancient Egypt building pyramids for our future digital masters

What British band would you consider to be underrated?

I remember Mexico 86 and watching Maradona was like watching a rocket fuelled wizard

The World Cups between the ages of 8 and 16 will always be the best in your head. Any younger you don't truly understand it yet and any older the magic goes out them.

An automated A.I. WWE news channel on YouTube tries to pronounce "WWE" as a word and ends up going insane!🤣

Some of the Scotland world cup songs coming out on tiktok are so bad it almost makes me want us to crash out early

If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat, while most of the other monkeys starved, scientists would study that monkey to figure out what was wrong with it.

When humans do it, we put them on the cover of Forbes.

Is that summer here then? According to Mick Jagger the time is now right for dancing in the street. Might give it a go.

Its Lisa Stansfield's 60th birthday today.
Apparently she finally found her baby who is now 35 and still dealing with abandonment issues

This should be part of every curriculum.
