Kinda obsessed with @CalMacFerries only sending me this just after their call centre closes so I have to stew in anger and anxiety all night

I joke about spending my whole life talking about CalMac but I REALLY spend my whole life talking about CalMac

Their last tunnel cost £150m with a plan to make the money back from tolls - £20 each way. I'd jump for joy to pay £40 return to the mainland after booking the ferry for my long weekend in Edinburgh next week - £230 return for two people and a car 🤢
Today, all parties in the Faroese Parliament, Løgting, agreed to advance a subsea tunnel to Suðuroy, marking a key step in connecting the Faroes' largest islands. With last year’s Sandoy-Streymoy tunnel uniting 90% of the population, this link will connect the islands even more🇫🇴

I don't disagree but "David Johnston is a former journalist with a second home in the Hebrides" 🤢
One of the more insightful outside perspectives I've seen in a while. Promoting an island based novel, and with a poorly judged headline but nonetheless far from the worst take. https://t.co/gHfAR3N54g

For some reason, I'm seeing a lot of tweets about whether Dean Winchester would have voted for Trump or Harris and I'm here to tell you that if you think he would have ever voted once in his life, you're an idiot.

But, in all seriousness, I'm so insanely tired of it being ok to be super mean to Taylor Swift about completely nothing because she's rich. If you're gonna be shitty to Taylor, at least be shitty about her wealth hoarding and private jet usage. Don't be a misogynist.

Taylor Swift won't see your mean tweet about her clothes, but your friends (me) with a horrible fashion sense will

It's so sad to me that no matter what I look up these days there's an AI suggestion for the task at the top of the list. Researching for a new website and plenty of suggestions for AIs that can "build one for me" ew no thanks.

I was going to say that one of my biggest pet peeves is people suggesting Mystery Spot is a fun, jokey episode but then I remembered my comfort episodes are Free To Be You and Me and The End
for anyone who finds comfort in watching supernatural or uses it as an escape, here’s a list of some silly / lighter episodes <3

Never in my life have I queued to vote. The longest it’s ever taken was this year GE when my ID got thoroughly examined
A friend of mine sent me these photos of the INSANE line to vote early in Omaha right now. Took them four hours to vote, which is wild. LFG! 💙

I remember the excitement of living in the towers in Dalmuir. One day I came home from work only to have to be escorted up to my flat by a police officer, through the blood soaked lobby and past the chap with the knife sticking out his back. What fond memories 🥲
