This is no longer about saving the corner building. It's lost. All the SFRS can do is try to prevent what would be a catastrophic spread to Glasgow Central Station.

Building collapses at Glasgow Central Station as fire causes major disruption Dozens of services have since been cancelled and the station will be closed until further notice.

Glasgow Central Station will be lucky to survive the night, at this rate. Catastrophic damage to its surrounding *at best* it looks like. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd...

I've just read the phrase, "imagination as infrastructure" and I don't know where we go from here.

📝 New blog post: The George Washington Sketch

Nate Bargatze and the SNL writers deep-dive into the creation of the George Washington sketch.

Looking down a bustling Buchanan St from the top of the Royal Concert Hall steps on Friday evening. You can see all the way to Whitelee Wind Farm 10 miles away.

📝 New blog post: Cardiacs, March 2026

By hook or by crook, I managed to get myself a Cardiacs ticket to see them play in Glasgow next year.

Nvm, managed to find a couple elsewhere. 😀

Looks like tickets for Cardiacs at St Luke's, Glasgow were all snapped up on pre-sale. None available when the regular sale started this morning, dammit.

Off to Ibrox tonight to watch Rangers, for the first time in ages. Maybe I'll be the lucky charm that we need.

Good to see Rangers and Aberdeen revisiting their 1990s rivalry in 2025. This time at the opposite end of the league table.

Anti-immigration protesters and counter-protesters clash in Glasgow Event comes a week after the largest far-right event in decades took place in London Anti-immigration protesters have clashed with anti-racist counter-protesters in tense scenes in Glasgow this afternoon, a week after the largest far-right event in decades, organised by the activist Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, known as Tommy Robinson, took place in London. The statue of Scottish statesman Donald Dewar, father of the Holyrood parliament, which stands at the top of Buchanan Street, one of the city’s main shopping streets, was surrounded by union flags bearing the words: ‘Stop the boats’, and ‘Unite the kingdom’.
