Beware the profits of doom: here's why you should be very afraid of the future of AI (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As a small child growing up in Glasgow, Saturday afternoon trips into the city centre came with free al fresco theatre. On Sauchiehall Street there were always sad-looking men bearing placards telling us “The End is Nigh” or “Prepare to Meet thy Maker”. They were usually bearded and silent. “We’re Catholics,” my mum would say. “Just get to Confession and say your rosary and you’ll be fine.” You always felt sorry for these men as they toiled for hours in the rain handing out Gospel tracts with on
Kate Forbes opens up about faith, freedom and the SNP's failures (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Kate Forbes quit politics and government, it was reasonably assumed that her treatment at the hands of some in her own party had figured in her decision. Yet she'd still come very close to defeating Humza Yousaf in the 2023 SNP leadership contest. John Swinney's decision to make her his deputy a year later was significantly influenced by knowing she could also damage him in a straight run-off.

Read excerpt
In an era when journalists, like gangsters, had stirring nicknames Sandy Anderson’s might have been The Fireman. Sandy, who died recently, was part of The Herald’s production team throughout the 1990s and into the new century. They formed a formidable journalistic SWAT squad who kept the paper rolling along six days a week when it produced five separate editions through the night from 10pm until 3am. As a senior production journalist, it was his sacred task to extinguish the little fires that fl
Sorry John, the SNP has turned Scotland into a rotten borough unfit for independence (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A mantra began to emerge among Yes supporters following the first referendum on Scottish independence to justify the demand for a second one. This suggested that material circumstances had changed so dramatically in UK politics that some of those who had voted to retain the constitutional status quo would likely now opt for independence. Chief among these was the startling divergence of opinion between Scotland and the rest of the UK at the 2016 EU referendum. While the UK voted to leave the EU,
