Community group hosting AGM for Glasgow’s only castle

Friends of Crookston Castle is an association which aims to increase awareness, knowledge and enjoyment of the building and its neighbouring communities. 

The castle, situated on Brockburn Road, was founded in the 1100s by Robert De Croc and was later fortified by the Stewarts of Darnley around 1400. 

Historic Environment Scotland has described the castle’s layout as “almost unique in Scotland”. 

Extensively repaired following a siege in 1544, it is the only surviving mediaeval castle in the City of Glasgow and stands as a reminder of the area’s former rural character and connections with historic figures including Mary Queen of Scots, Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott.

Kelly Clarkson says she’s taken a medication for weight loss, but not Ozempic

Kelly Clarkson is opening up about her recent weight loss, sharing that a moment where she did not recognize herself on screen prompted her to make changes.

During an interview with Whoopi Goldberg on a recent episode of her talk show, “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” the singer said she was watching a taped performance of herself singing and didn’t recognize herself on the TV screen.

“We were in my house in New York, like, watching it,” the 42-year-old said, “and then all of a sudden I paused and I was like, ‘Who the f–k is that?’ I swear to god, it sounds insane.”

Clarkson added that even her close circle of friends and colleagues hadn’t noticed her weight gain, saying, “I looked at my manger … and she was like, ‘I’m kind of as shocked as you.’ I think [it’s] because your people are with…

Ebury Botnet Operators Diversify with Financial and Crypto Theft

Ebury, one of the most advanced server-side malware campaigns, has been active for 15 years but its use by threat actors is still growing, according to cybersecurity firm ESET.

A new report published on May 14 by ESET Research showed that operators of the Ebury malware and botnet were more active than ever in 2023.

Over the years, Ebury has been deployed as a backdoor to compromise almost 400,000 Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD servers. More than 100,000 were still compromised as of late 2023.

Danish King didn’t wave Palestinian flag in street protest

A video being shared widely online falsely claims to show the new King of Denmark waving a Palestinian flag in support of a demonstration in Copenhagen.

In the clip, which is circulating on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter), a man on a balcony can be seen holding the Palestinian flag and waving, while pro-Palestine protesters gather in the street.    

A caption on Facebook also widely shared alongside the video says: “The King of Denmark, King Frederik X, waves the Palestinian flag from a balcony as he greets hundreds of protesters demonstrating in Copenhagen in solidarity with the people of Palestine.”

However, the man pictured in the footage is not the Danish monarch, and the video was actually filmed in Malmö, Sweden.

Another video, which is captioned as…
