The scenes we saw in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Ayr last night are unacceptable.

Scotland is a welcoming nation and those who choose to make their lives here are valued members of our communities.

Racism, hatred and intimidation have no place in Scotland. We must stand against it.

What the BBC headline is...
And what actually happened.

[Stuart Barrett @two_truths]

@IsSaddleThereIs @but_cyclists I have, on a multi-user path, by two off-road motorbike riders after they sped past a family with a pram.

[Stuart Barrett @two_truths]

@Mariclara1128 Whhhhhhhhy would you watch that?!?!?!?

[Stuart Barrett @two_truths]

@SamGFields1 @ScotNational Are you talking about when UK Gov scrapped the supercomputer that Uni of Ed has planned to build?

Because that was for scientific discovery rather than AI chatbots, and it was to be built to not use all our water and electricity.

@JT_Voermann In the UK, the killer would usually not be given any prison sentence.

@rosscolquhoun It isn't as if they are going to contest any elections in the next 20-40 years.

Their leader confirmed that was the final election for Labour in Scotland.

Brianna Ghey was just a 16 year old girl living her life as she daw fit and not harming anyone. She was brutally killed by two 15 year olds, a female and a male. They knew her. They killed her because she was transgender. Where was the cold rage for her murder? Why no riots???

@TheObserva2902 @but_cyclists The dog owner, who is responsible, is female

[Stuart Barrett @two_truths]

@BobFromAccounts @but_cyclists If anyone else is confused; the dog owner is at fault because they are using a shared path but don't have control over their dog.

There is no hierarchy giving dogs priority over cyclists.

Legal president has also been that the dog owner pays for the cyclist's damages.

Camilla, you are the host of a national syndicated television show and have a newspaper column; your views are representative of practically the entire ruling class of the Western Hemisphere

@robmcd85 I think there's an underlying issue that the cost to perform or attend the Fringe keeps spiralling upwards.

Some local people I know had a show for a week, fully sold out, and still lost £1000.

All the profits go overseas.

White House staffers tape googly eyes to Trump, making sure the press knows he's awake and always watching.

@FietserGlasgow @TheNoorRafat @TheBikingLawyer WTAF - the bike lane has a STOP sign but the car lane doesn't!?!

That's me never visiting Canada ever, then.

[Stuart Barrett @two_truths]

@robmcd85 I understand it is tricky to know which number to use, but I think the key question should be "Is there any immediate risk to someone?"
Which was yes in that case.

[Stuart Barrett @two_truths]

@joe_yer99 @charlesmcgibbon That would have kept surrounding temperatures lower than the new version

[Stuart Barrett @two_truths]

@JustRed_69 @AldredKeith With all but the latest generation of e-bike systems, there is some drag when the motor is off.

That's a common complaint about the older e-bike systems.

It is easier to cycle a 15kg pedal bicycle uphill than a 15kg electric bicycle that's switched off.

Not impossible, tho.

Not clear if they mean gross or net.

In a defined contribution scheme, to get £13.9k p.a. gross, you need a pot of £278k.
£22.5k p.a. = £450k
£32.7k p.a. = £654k
£45.4k p.a. = £0.9m
£62.7k p.a. = £1.25m

Income tax is taken when you draw your pension.

[UNISON - UK's largest union @unisontheunion]

📢 "Your voice is needed."

UNISON general secretary @AndreaEganGS is calling on members and trans allies to oppose the EHRC guidance.

MPs will decide on it in the next 30 days.

Tell us why it's unworkable in your workplace.
