Five years since our friend passed after his incredibly cruel fight with cancer. I remember everything he taught me, but the last lesson was simply to live while I can - and I’m trying brother, I’m trying.

@TheCinesthetic Happy Death Day - love it

[Will Mackenzie @willmackenzie]

@TheCinesthetic Seasons 1-3 of Luther is definitely 10/10 and should be considered amongst the best TV of the 2010s. Idris Elba hasn’t done anything as good since, to be totally blunt.

Happy Halloween from all of us at Parents Booking 🎃

👻 Fun fact: in Scotland, children go guising (from the word 'disguise') instead of trick-or-treating. Just saying “trick or treat” won’t get you a reward. Guisers have to earn their treats by singing a song, telling a joke, reciting a poem or doing a trick on the doorstep.

Luckily, booking a parents’ evening doesn’t need a party piece. Just a few clicks and you’re done 🦇

We don’t talk enough about how Across the Spider-Verse is one of the best sequels there is and has ever been. It’s incredible.

@Edinburgh_CC I’m sure you’ve been being inundated with storm tweets, so I’m sorry to add, but in case it hasn’t been reported, there’s a tree down on the Ferry Road cycle path, just below Pilton Drive (most easily accessed from Citypark Way).

@theiaincameron @UndisScot About*

[Will Mackenzie @willmackenzie]

@theiaincameron @UndisScot There’s a chapter on this in A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson, where I’d learned a jut this, and I absolutely love it.

[Will Mackenzie @willmackenzie]

I finally found time to watch Tony, and I loved it. It made me cry. Coming of age stories often do, but to know we lost such a good one forty years after this story is heartbreaking. Gone but not forgotten.

Every few years I re-watch A Few Good Men and I’m reminded it’s probably my favourite film.

[Will Mackenzie @willmackenzie]

Blue Lights dropping one episode a year that has me bucketing tears.

[Will Mackenzie @willmackenzie]

So much still to improve (independence is vital) but devolution has been an evident success (unless you are against a more caring, fairer society). Anyone telling you otherwise is wrong or lying.

The Tories don’t have Scotland’s best interests at heart, they have England’s.

[Stephen Daisley @JournoStephen]

Everywhere you look there is evidence devolution has failed. In education, in health, in transport, in drugs policy. The Scottish establishment, however, would rather the failure continued than concede they were wrong.

Kemi Badenoch has other ideas.

@Buttterflllyyyy Undoubtedly correct.

[Will Mackenzie @willmackenzie]

It’s baffling to me that no one in the UK is as obsessed by Shoresy as I am. Feel like I’m marooned on an island with this take but it’s the TV show that makes me feel *like crazy*. It’s my naughty, happy place that tugs these heartstrings so much.

@DynastyHotseat I’ve got mine set up for 1am on a Tuesday morning already, because Puma looks mega-iffy. First time I’ve maybe needed it / used it and it’s a bit of a life-saver.

[Will Mackenzie @willmackenzie]

Anyone with a democratic bone in their body must know that by not even stating HOW Scotland can gain independence, Westminster is being undemocratic.

As humans we have to be able to make our own choices - even if those around us think they’re a mistake / don’t like our choices.

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

Great to be in Cardiff to meet with colleagues in Plaid Cymru and Sinn Féin.

Our parties share the belief that the people of our respective nations must be able to shape their own future.

At this pivotal moment of constitutional change, we will deepen our partnership.
