I can’t help but think of the breakdown in Paramore’s “Ain’t It Fun” whenever Vance and the regime complain about the masses rightfully booing them, criticizing them, calling them out, questioning their morals, questioning their humanity, etc.

Repost with a photo of yours that would make a good album cover.

Newcastle won + my wife won Gin Blossoms tickets. What a day.

Always and forever rooting for Eddie Howe. Hopefully he’s leading Newcastle United for years to come. Love this moment as a fan, but it must mean the world to Howe. Well done. #nufc

3pts! 3pts! Needed them badly. Well done, Eddie and the lads. #nufc

RAMSEY! RAMSEY! Look at the roar during the celebration - electric! #nufc

Get in THIAW! Should be 2-0, but I’ll take what we can get. #nufc

Six drafted poems within the last day or so. Sometimes writing feels like a trickle. Sometimes overflowing. Keep writing.

No idea what’s to come, but the lads will be getting my support! I have a feeling that Howe is hoping we can strike first before bringing in subs in the second half (maybe earlier than usual). As others have said: these guys are tired. No issues with bench rotation today. Howay! #nufc

Somehow only just now getting around to (but already obsessed with) Matt Berninger’s second solo album, GET SUNK. “Bonnet of Pins” live is another level of perfection. www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1vd...

Really, rather strongly, dislike all the “Howe Out” voices popping up of late. Eddie Howe deserves all the credit for bringing #nufc back to prominence. He also deserves proper spending, transfers, and a squad who are all the way bought in. Howe in, players who don’t fit the vision out.

The streets with a word. #ICEout

Week 6 of marathon training and these legs are heavy. Always an adventure, that’s for sure. Keep going!

Share one of your favorite movie posters #FilmSky

The latest (like I needed more books). I’ve never read anything by George Saunders, so I thought now might be a good time. I was also recently made aware of Thomas Merton through a prayer, which intrigued me enough to get what’s said to be his best work.

Welp.

Vance says “for what?” when asked if he or the admin have apologized for the murder of Alex Pretti. These are the people who want a Christian Nation, yet show zero signs of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, or self-control Wicked, all of them. Jesus weeps.

Can’t argue with any I’ve already seen, but “you tell’em I’m comin’! And hell’s comin’ with me!” came to mind immediately.

Car pollution is made even worse when multiple cars across three lanes, already congested for the commute home, leisurely stroll 100+ feet behind the car in front of them, thus causing even more unnecessary traffic. 15 Minute Cities, please.

Someone shared “The Merton Prayer” this morning, which hit pretty hard. This poem is all about the overlaps of faith and the human condition: relying on self, even when we want to live a life that pleases God. themertonprayer.com

The people in this photo, and the regime at large, believe the US is and has always been a Christian Nation. However, the people in this photo, and the regime at large, continue to tell on themselves: they know nothing of a Christ-centered faith, they simply worship power. Impeach them all.

HAD TO BE GORDON! #nufc

Beautiful strike from Barnes, even if it did hit post. Here we go, lads. #nufc

Liverpool already giving new meaning to “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!” #NUFC

No idea what’s about to shake out, but I’m cheering for a victory nonetheless. Always and forever! Howay, the lads. ⚫️⚪️⚫️ #NUFC

Ending January by submitting my poetry manuscript to a few publication prizes. What a time. Keep writing.

Catherine O’Hara, a legend if there ever was one, never failed to make us laugh or to warm our hearts.

I was at an Alpha ministry meeting last night and I brought up WAKE UP DEAD MAN as an example of how listening (esp Father Jud) is one of the most loving and caring things we can do for anyone. No one else had seen the film.

“All right, well, I guess we can go around the horn again just to be sure.”

Yes and amen.

Just seeing this and WHAT A BEAUTY. #nufc

Not sure reading reactions to the near misses (Barnes, it seems) is better or worse than witnessing it. Either way, on the edge of my seat as this wraps up. Get it in! #nufc

Gordon, Ramsey, Sandro, and Big Nick all with shots within a few minutes of each other?! Come on, lads! #nufc

Not watching, but the commentary from all of you has me thinking that might be a good thing. VAR already? Elanga booked but Mags given a free kick? #nufc

Wrapped s1 of BOILING POINT and really liked it. So much happens in the final episode that I was a little shocked they left on a cliffhanger.

There are many reasons why the Psalms and Lamentations are my favorite books in the bible, top being that they represent so much of the human condition. They have informed my work significantly. Terrific perspective and wisdom here from @wdavidotaylor.bsky.social.

Where are all the keyboard warriors screaming “save the children!” when their regime is teargassing and terrifying near schools? And kidnapping/detaining/deporting children? Oh, these keyboard warriors meant just *their* children. How very Chris-like of them.

Absolutely correct. It’s never been about the rights of others, it’s only about rights for themselves. The people in this regime, and the orgs like the NRA that support them, are a sickening bunch of thieves. “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.” - John 10:10

YES AND AMEN.

I am no longer sure how to reconcile relationships with people who voted for this and continue to support its horrific agenda. ICE, and this regime as a whole, are in complete contradiction to what Jesus Christ himself called us to do. Shame on the evangelicals who lust for power and wickedness.

Special shoutout to all the new Geordie followers! I am thankful to be part of the #nufc community on here, and always love when we get to connect. Howay, one and all.

Vance and other chest-puffers clearly think that worshipping inside the walls of a church is the only acceptable place of worship. This, of course, signals their disinterest in what scripture says. So, not only are pastors/clergy peacefully protesting in Minnesota, they are praying AS THE CHURCH.

I have been obsessed with Greta Van Fleet’s “Heat Above” for the last week after adding it as new music to my running playlist. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRHs...

Two poems made their debut yesterday via The Poetry Lighthouse: THE SWELL OF THINKING TOO MUCH: www.thepoetrylighthouse.com/poems/the-sw... MONTEREY: www.thepoetrylighthouse.com/poems/monterey (side note: turn phone horizontal to read in proper format) #WeeknightWriters

20 years from now Alex Garland will remember the post below, crack his knuckles, then start writing the script for 50 YEARS LATER.

JD Vance is a leech, consistently victim blaming, people shaming, and crying out about children being scared. Meanwhile, the regime he’s sworn to is kidnapping children, committing murder, and instilling fear in communities. But this is the guy who said he’d make up stories for gain, so it tracks.

Madness on almost every level. I was so sweating-nervous during FREE SOLO that I made my wife look online to make sure Alex Honnold was still alive. Zero percent chance I’ll be watching this live. slate.com/culture/2026...

An important thread that deserves your attention.

The Academy must have put blinders on whenever Chase Infiniti was presenting her acting masterclass in ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. Snubbed would be an understatement.

“Multiple groups have joined together to create a two-day agenda of prayer, learning, and action. On Jan. 22, MARCH (Multifaith Antiracism, Faith, and Healing), a clergy-led group, issued a call for faith leaders from around the country to come to Minneapolis for a pilgrimage.”
