THE SLOTHS DESERVED BETTER — AND WE’RE NOT LETTING THIS GO
I originally chose not to blog about this because I wasn’t confident that my small audience would make a difference. However, I’ve come to realize that every voice, no matter how small, needs to share this message. If even one more person who reads this joins us in our quest for change and justice, it…

FORGED IN THE UNION
May 1, 1707. The day Scotland and England collided and conjured the United Kingdom. Not a polite handshake, but a tectonic shift that still rattles the bones of anyone with a pulse. Tell me you don’t feel it. I do. And yes, Wales was already bound to England long before this day, so when England…

HULK WAS THE GIMMICK — THE MAN WAS A COLOSSUS
I finally watched the new Hulk Hogan: Real American series on Netflix. It took me a while. Hulk has always been a polarizing figure, even for me, and it’s hard to separate the character from the person. I didn’t think I knew him well, but the times I spent with him were genuine, and my…

SPAM SPAM SPAM
There’s a moment when the usual annoyance turns into something nastier. It stops being background noise and starts feeling like a personal vendetta. Relentless. Like someone’s declared war on my time, my patience, my sanity, and every bloody gadget I own. I’m way past being irritated. I’m past the eye-rolls and the polite sighs. I’m…

JEWISH BY BLOOD, NOT BY BELIEF — AND WHY THAT MATTERS
I was today‑years‑old when I finally understood the difference between being Jewish and practicing Judaism. It sent me down a path that connected ancestry, religion, identity, and history in ways I never expected. Right now, with politics and religion so tangled, it’s hard not to feel pulled in two directions. My DNA shows I’m Scottish…

BIRTHDAYS: I STILL DON’T UNDERSTAND
It’s been a while since I UNLEASHED. Life has been a carousel of busy, sick, busy again, and then suddenly today arrived — my birthday. Before anyone starts bouncing around with well‑meaning enthusiasm, let me be clear: birthdays have never been my thing. Not because I’m miserable about them, but because I genuinely don’t understand…

CARDS AGAINST HUMANITY — THE LOWEST POINT IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
Here’s a bit of honesty for you: when someone says ‘game night,’ what they really mean is ‘let’s drag out Cards Against Humanity and pretend we’re all having a riot.’ Well, I’m done. I’ve played it, suffered through it, and faked enough laughs to last a lifetime. I’ve done my stretch. Paroled. Never going back.…

FIFA, YOU’VE RUINED MY WORLD CUP
Scotland has qualified for the World Cup.Let me say that again, slowly, because it still feels like a hallucination brought on by too many early‑morning kickoffs and too many decades of disappointment:Scotland. Has. Qualified. For. The. World. Cup.Here. In. North. America.Where I live.Where my son lives.Where the dream was supposed to finally come true. This…

GET OUT OF THE WAY
I want to be absolutely clear from the outset: I do not support violence against women, discrimination, or any attempt to minimize the seriousness of abuse. That is not who I am, and it is not who we are as a supporters club.But the reaction to Roberto De Zerbi’s appointment has exposed something uncomfortable about…
