I am sensible. I act with wisdom, (sensibly); and I am aware of, (sensible to), the effect of my actions on others.

@menorite Thank you for the kind words, I am considering Blue Sky as well.

Hello, Scotland and Scots—and friends.

It’s been a long time since I last posted here. In preparation to purge my Twitter accounts, I have been reviewing messages I’ve shared with so many of you, and it is bittersweet.

I *am* over on Threads, mostly for photography. If you haven’t tried it, it’s worth a look. It is a generally more pleasant place with a different culture. Maybe I will see you there.

@DrMDempster Hey, Michael. Long time no… tweet?

I went to Threads a long time ago and recent events have convinced me to purge my Twitter existence. Even though it is starting over, I encourage you to try it out if you haven’t.

I'm on Threads as @yaakovsloman.

Twitter is over for me, I’d love to see old friends on Threads—a decent, friendly place to hang out.

Goodbye, Twitter. Time to move on.

[Ya’akov Sloman @yaakovsloman]

@glasgowcathcart Happy Birthday, Jimmy—and many more returns of the day.

Toxic skepticism has become as much of a problem as gormless credulity.

Unfortunately, as could have been predicted, the addition of skepticism to the toolset of the average person has neither improved introspection nor eliminated the credulous acceptance of "their side".

@PerthshireMags @markjenkinsonmp @UKLabour This *is* pretty amazing. The complete brass neckedness of it leaves me gobsmacked.

…by the ignorance and avarice that has been used… so many times and in so many places by an elite minority to control a larger majority. Manipulation, through fear, anger, hatred, and greed destroys the awareness of the commonality that made independence seem right and close.

[Ya’akov Sloman @yaakovsloman]

… for others, but to me this is all related. I believe that Scots need to return to the roots of the independence movement, to the social-psychological environment of the days when independence felt so near.

In the current environment, the path independence is blocked…
