I've always been intrigued by the similarities between these two buildings. On the left is a 1770s tenement on Gallowgate in Glasgow (containing the Heilan Jessie pub), while on the right is Charles Rennie MacKintosh's iconic 1902 Hill House in Helensburgh. Given that MacKintosh lived in Dennistoun until 1892, he would likely have passed the Gallowgate tenement, and I wonder if it acted as an inspiration for him.

Too much politics for a couple of days, however pleasing most of the results. Off to find some flowers.

You can pick the sadist nazi narcissist who promises to put millions in camps, seeks SCOTUS approval to assassinate rivals and murder anyone he wants when he’s told you he has a VENDETTA, or you can pick the other guy who does some tangibly good things, even if there are other things we’d like to not happen or change, and doesn’t THREATEN OUR VERY LIVES.

Today is a day of furry confusion and humans encroaching!

I was very rude today and I need to come clean. Early mornings are sometimes chaotic for me. I have aggressive morning routines, insomnia, and often disruptive schedules.

Today I was coming back home and raised the garage door per normal, but today was no normal day. It would appear the squirrel uprising started today and I was a priority target.

As the door raised a large fat squirrel dashed in front of my car. Being the guy I am, I stopped and began scolding the creature through my opened car window. Had I but known this was the forward sentry of attack I would have taken a more defensive position.

Since my vehicle stopped the squirrel moved onto phase 2, home infiltration, and ran full tilt straight into my garage. Squirrelly shoulders pumping with adrenaline and excitement to get this far, Fatboy (we are calling him Fatboy as he is chonky and adorable) bunched his haunches and full out threw himself at the door.

Y'all. This squirrel was probably 3lbs. The door wouldn't budge.

At this point, I remove myself from the vehicle to extract Fatboy without squishing him. With soothing voice, I laughing walk into the garage asking Fatboy what their next plans are.

Not to be deterred, Fatboy begins slinking through my bike wheel as I explained their situation, the fact that Zara exists and would love to play. Fatboy decides to take his chances with the freezer until he realizes that Alex knows how to conserve garage space.

Deciding that the mission is likely scrubbed as they failed to account for the weight of the door, Fatboy decides to grand theft auto and makes a dash for my opened car door.

TIL loudly screaming "oh wait!" and dashing at a vehicle will engage 3rd dimension squirrel physics. Fatboy stopped midair, changed directions and continued to scamper into the safety of the bushes as their partner decided that now was the best time to join the fray.

I believe Fatboy's partner is the thinker because he took off after them as they totally became completely invisible against the backdrop of "squirrel colored" red bricks. They aren't invisible but I pretend I can't see them. It makes them feel better, I think.

I think #LEGO is fascinating.

As both child's toy and adult pass-time it is very stimulating and cathartic. Enjoyable.

The #bricks are all #plastic.

It takes two Kilogrammes of #oil to make one Kilogramme of #ABS Lego bricks. The #rPet alternative bricks haven't worked out. Yet.

In 2015 there were EIGHTY-SIX Lego bricks per human on the planet.

Current figures of BPP (bricks per person) differ, depending on who is doing the calculating.

Environmentally, Lego is far from harmless.

The end of a long day

Thought Myfanwy & friend could visit Hopper's Nighthawks.

Wasn't sure what to call the adaptation, but realise the obvious name is Nighthen.

As well as representing Myfanwy it is what someone in Scotland might say on their way to bed, which is what I'm about to do.

'Night hen! 💤

People who protest other people who protest genocides, by saying what about other genocides, maybe don’t know that people who protest genocides in the first place are generally more educated in and interested in protesting all genocides, than people who protest people protesting about genocides.

Hello. #New to this server. I was just wondering, has something happened to Mastodon.scot and if so, does anyone know what?

It seemed to vanish at 18:00 Thursday.

Love how the premise of 28 weeks later was "What if Begbie was a zombie"
