I don't think it was pain that made him so great, I think painting brought him whatever happiness he had. * RIP David Lynch

🚨🔔 Delighted to see this piece of work from @CVRinfo now out in @NatureMicrobiol! Indeed, it really reflects what multidisciplinary team effort can be. Guess what? Spike of #SARSCoV2 is not just about antigenicity/immune evasion…

I think a lot of rich people genuinely, sincerely believe that "being busy" is the same as "working" and that the more booked your schedule is the harder you are working

Daen a crowdfunder for the BBC Scotland wig budget

This is like the perfect opportunity to get really into Fiona Apple

A selection of the spicier entries coming in the New Year's New Municipalism (2.0) release, since it's Christmas Eve and all, and what could be more festive than unasked for presents that trigger arguments? (For the THERE MUST BE A GREATER GLASGOW people, there are two versions)

Were you looking for a protein structure database of all animal viruses with: - taxonomy, - protein and - genome coordinate annotations to browse over the holidays? (I know I was!) Viro3D is here!! #viro3d https://t.co/9LuGhgh9gU

Before delivering his Christmas greetings to the Roman Curia this morning, #PopeFrancis informed them: “Yesterday they didn’t let the Patriarch [of Jerusalem, Cardinal Pizzaballa] enter Gaza as they had promised & yesterday children were bombed. This is cruelty. This is not war.”

The 67-year-old west Belfast man, father of the band Kneecap’s Naoise, was at the leading edge of many of the major projects driving the development of the language https://t.co/r8xOcw9IYZ

Green Heat Bill: delayed Electric railways: delayed Clean Energy Strategy: delayed Car Use Reduction Plan: delayed Climate-friendly farming fund: delayed Without @scottishgreens in government, the SNP doesn’t give a shit about the climate crisis 🔥

Shocking that we have something enormously profitable with about a million positive second order effects and hardly any negative ones that funds an education settlement for Scots which has completely reversed youth migration patterns within the UK. Much to think about

Lying aside, this is a ridiculous thing to put on your leaflets and a total invasion of privacy. When politicians regularly get threatened and harassed (often driving them out of politics), wtf were the Lib Dems thinking when they told the world where politicians live?

The energy price cap has increased again. Scotland has recorded its coldest early winter temperature since 1998. And Labour has cut the winter fuel payment. They ugently need to admit they were wrong and reverse this disastrous decision before any more people are hurt.

Byres Road crowned best street in the city for small businesses 🛒 Turns out the sky doesn’t fall in when you replace car parking spaces with bike lanes, wider pavements & more greenery… Glasgow street listed in top 10 UK hotspots for independent shops https://t.co/R4UU52Q52G

Audrey Nicoll: an experienced and well-respected Holyrood committee chair who treats colleagues with respect Stephen Flynn: the political mastermind behind collapsing a pro-indy majority government and accidentally getting his mate sacked as First Minister Tough choice…

Anyone who routinely uses @ScotRail services will know the frustration of first class being empty, while the rest of the train is packed. It’s no surprise that only 2% of first class seats are filled each month, so now it is time for them to see the end of the line.

The @scottishgreens started work on the infrastructure levy under the Bute House Agreement. Now it’s dead with councils left footing the bill for profit-hungry property developers. Next time the SNP say they’re “pulling every lever” to mitigate austerity, remember they’re lying.

This whole thing is a pretty neat illustration of how fascism doesn't just want to occupy any specific land or people - that's not enough! It has to occupy reality itself - especially your lying treasonous eyes and ears! It has to constantly re-occupy *itself* so nothing escapes
