Sad news for Peter Capaldi as the art school he attended has been hit by another massive file – the same part of the school that was seriously damaged in a fire in 2014. (Edit: apparently this happened a day go but I’m just seeing the news now; I found out by way of an Instragram story posted by actress Katy Townsend of Mass Effect: Andromeda fame.)
Peter was in the midst of filming Series 8 when news of the 2014 fire hit, and he posted this video online to give words of encouragement to the students there. He and Brad Pitt were also among those who also helped raise funds for the restoration. I’m sure Peter’s words from early 2014 still stand four years later:
The fire started around 11:15 p.m. (3:15 p.m. our time) on Friday the 15th. It was about 5 p.m. when I read the breaking news on BBC on Twitter. The most I feel for are the students and all of their beautiful work, also feel for Peter and those who studied there years ago. I came across a link to donate restoration funds. It’s called The Mackintosh Campus Appeal at Big Give:
The thing is, the fire did so much more damage this second time, officials are fearing they may not be able to save the structure. 😢 We can always hope for the best. 🤞
Absolutely champion of an MP. Her script from her speech in the House of Commons.
Get bent. You are just sore that England is independent again, and you wish you could be too.
Mooslims are the third largest group in Scotland today. Indigenous people are seeing their lands taken over at an alarming rate all over the globe. It is not wrong for people to reject the hostile take over of their lands. It is not wrong to want to preserve your heritage. It is wrong for the political leaders to ignore their people and force policy down their throats that ultimately means their demise. Brexit is an obvious rejection of these policies. People are waking up and seeing clearly the devastation that comes with a mass immigration (read: invasion) of a religious group hell bent on domination.

Fuck me, you are one dense cretin.
Muslims are great though. Like have you ever actually met a Muslim? They’re sense of humour is wild.
I was at The Stand comedy club one night. There was a local guy there doing his act, he was talking about his teenage years in Glasgow. For many people, that means indulging in some… recreational activities.
Him and his three pals were in his car. He was Muslim so he wasn’t getting fired into the three-litre bottle of Pulse cider. Bad for him to drink-drive, even worse for him to drink alcohol. However, he would have a wee bit of a smoke of the marijuanas that was being passed around.
The car is looking a bit foggy after a while, they’ve still got plenty of weed, but they’ve ran out of filter paper. One of the guys in the back finds a book and rips out a couple of pages and starts making filter paper for the joints. It gets passed around again and this process goes on for a couple of hours. He looks down at the joint and notices the filter paper.
“Is that… my Quran?! Mate, we’ve been smokin’ my fucking Quran! My maw is gonny kill me! Fuck sake… I’m gonny go to the big fire for this one.”
The crowd were loving it. It was funny. It was the sort of thing a Glaswegian crowd would laugh about it. Self-deprecating Glaswegian Muslim humour.
one time i was on an old street in glasgow and i made a loud joke about vampires and as i did this beautiful man with long hair on the other side of the street made direct eye contact with me and then ten minutes later he walked by again and looked at me and I still count that on my list of the five closest times I’ve ever come to dying
