This year’s brand new Souvenir Programme special is available here for one more day, before the BBC pixies leap upon it, smash it to atoms of comedy with their tiny hammers, and scatter it to the four winds. They let me watch once. It’s quite a sight. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
Day two, a re-read: Over The Moon by Imtiaz Dharker. “All the words left looking at each other / as if they have no memory of where they came from” #TheSealeyChallenge
Day one: The Carrying by Ada Limón. “I’ll take it, the tree seems to say, a new slick leaf unfurling like a fist, I’ll take it all” #TheSealeyChallenge
Folks if you want to start change in the rough deal H&I have suffered for centuries be bold and vote for Andy Wightman today. Great candidates in other parties but few as laser focused on fundamental problems & ready to act.
It's official. Scotland has the 'least local' democracy in Europe. And despite half-hearted discussion during election campaign, no concrete proposal or enthusiasm for change apart from @andywightman standing on the H&I list. One last wee plea to consider giving him your vote.
England has an average of 2,814 people per councillor, Norway 572 and Denmark 2,216, the average councillor in Scotland has to look after 4,155. Councillors have an incredibly tough job, representing thousands of people, with ever-increasing caseloads. heraldscotland.com/news/19278740.…
‘Party whips exert so much control that MSPs from all parties desperately want the return of someone who can speak his mind. Indeed, someone who can't help but speak his mind, even if it gets him into trouble.’ Insightful @spectator piece on @andywightman spectator.co.uk/article/maveri…

I did an interview with CNN this afternoon about something and, at the end, the reporter asked me if I had any final thoughts. I said, "about what?" she said, "anything you want people to know." I thought about it for about half a second and then exhaled.

I need a t-shirt that says "cognitively processing". We reward quick responses way too much in this world-- in education, on social media, and in boardroom meetings-- and highly undervalue delays for deeper processing.
