My debut album Everywhere Isn’t Texas is touching down on earth February 13th. It’s the tall tale of where you come from, where you’re going, and who you truly are.

“Betty” sets the scene - it’s out now.

Stay tuned, cowboys.

@XantheClay Very specific, but - their frozen southern fried chicken. Nothing available in the standard supermarkets comes even close. They all taste very obviously processed and bad in comparison.

@buttermilkoreo It's happened to me too. If this is the end I am heartbroken.

@madbutwright 6'1", and it genuinely makes my day when people ask me to get them something from a tall shelf. I feel so useful!

@KatoreaKastorae Oh god, I was hoping it was just a server hiccup.

Even if you don’t believe climate change is man affected… the actions we need to reduce it leave us with clean air, less pollution , clean waters and cheap secure energy? Why the anger against that?

@GraemeK73 @UofGEstates Amazing! Congratulations Graeme, hugely deserved 👏

[Jamie Wightwick @JamieWightwick]

@UofGCOO Happy anniversary and congratulations to you both!

PhD students: come work with us in the @UofGlasgow Innovation Team! Two fantastic opportunities working on two rewarding new initiatives to reach new groups and expand entrepreneurship on our campus.

The Roald Dahl rewriting thing feels odd simply because there are 42 new David Walliams books published every week that are stuffed with problematic drivel - often racism that isn’t even hidden. What’s the point of acting retrospectively if you don’t get it right in the present?

@DaveyBlahBlah To ruin your day further: I am pretty sure this is a nursing chair. You know, for mums and babies and stuff. You can definitely get ones just like this in all good baby stores!...

The big @timeshighered interview with @UofGVC, one of the UK’s most thoughtful vice-chancellors. On Brexit, he warns, “I'm actually of the view that we haven't seen the full economic damage. No, I think we're only beginning to see the tip of the iceberg.” https://t.co/jAJuGTHp6V

2/ Scottish democracy will not be denied.
Today’s ruling blocks one route to Scotland’s voice being heard on independence - but in a democracy our voice cannot and will not be silenced.
I'll make a full statement later this morning - tune in around 11.30am

Petition for every book in a series to devote the first two pages reminding me what happened in the last book.

@JamesWHarrison Also: dumb name, but Soundpeats have a wide range of buds and they're basically all great. I have the H1s and still use them almost daily as a second set. Great quality for the money!

[Jamie Wightwick @JamieWightwick]

@JamesWHarrison If you have £100 to spend, Soundcore Liberty 3 Pros are among the best you'll get for the price/quality sweet spot. On the cheaper side, Liberty 2 pros are currently half that though if you're not fussed about noise cancellation and are meant to be almost as good quality-wise.

The turd is being flushed. Rejoice …. Deluded ever to think he could be back. Good riddance to the worst PM in history of all those who lasted more than 44 days.

[Jamie Wightwick @JamieWightwick]

@O2 ...because she's on O2 and can't get a reliable signal for love nor money?
