Not for nothing but “White Rose” was the name of the student anti-Nazi group here in Germany during WW2.

I married a younger woman and I sometimes wondered if I would be able to keep up with her. This is her Saturday afternoon so I’m feeling pretty good about it right now 😅

I met a lifelong Arsenal fan last night in Germany who grew up in the Tottenham area but his grandad forced him to be a gunner. I asked him his favorite player and told him that if he said Gabriele Jesus I was gonna turn around and act like we hadn’t met. 😂 His answer: Ødegard & Rice #LFC

Listening to 4 German guys talk about how happy they are that #Klopp is the trainer for the national team. His attitude and ideas for player development, etc. Felt proud and a bit misty thinking about his time as our #LFC coach. He is still giving off #YNWA vibes. Bless that man!

I’m a lover not a hater but there are a few teams I have grown to hate over the years: SD Padres, SF 49ers, Seattle Seahawks, BostonCeltics, Manchester United. So here’s a little #dodger #trashtalk this morning for a team I hate that’s from a city I love when they get eliminated.

I played golf well when I was younger which means I have shot errantly many a time my friend. I’ve only been to Cork, couch surfing 21 years ago and N Ireland is one of the only countries in Europe I haven’t visited. It’s a neglected corner for me. Can we see Ted? What kinda dog?

I feel like that means you have kids haha Have you been to Germany before? I feel like English people totally overlook it for “war reasons” but some get to find out it’s fucking awesome. You can drink in public, it’s not expensive, the cops aren’t bad, they like different cuisines.

My ballot from Germany officially arrived in Orange County.
More than 500 American citizens have been wrongfully arrested/detained by ICE and that is informing my vote.
So are the tariffs.
So is the war Iran.
So are the cuts DOGE made.
So is the support by the world's richest man to one political party.
So are the concentration camps running in our name.
I became a German citizen (dual national obviously) earlier this year and I taught courses on right-wing extremism and so I know of what I speak. I am against racism, misogyny, cruelty, hypocrisy, warmongering, pedophilia, and depravity, especially by those in power.
IT IS NOT WORKING. Please vote to hold those in power responsible for their (in)actions. Think of how many decent republicans the last years have had to say "oh, I didn't see the comments the president made about letting San Diego or Los Angeles by obliterated". Bullshit. They have seen every quote and clip but can't speak what is obvious - if anyone in your life acted like that, you wouldn't want that person around you anymore or around your kids. Well, that dude has the nuclear codes and now we are all Supposed to act like Canada has been our mortal enemy for 160 years instead of our indulgent little brother. And Ukraine is at fault for being invaded?
WTF
Some of you who made it this far into my post mightSome of you who made it this far into my post might be thinking I'm being melodramatic. But I will tell you this. This summer when I came home I booked separate flights to Vancouver and to California because I wasn't sure it would be safe for my white British wife to come visit the United States. If that's the case, how do you think brown, black, LGBTQ+ people and other minorities must feel in the United States right now if I was worried about her?
Please stop the madness and help people responsible adults into positions of power to help extricate ourselves from this horrible dead end by voting and guilting lazy friends to do the same.
My grandpa was shot in the shoulder by Nazis 100 miles west of me in eastern France in November
1944. I ain't letting their know-nothing imitators win the war 80 years later because the rest of us got lazy.
Eff that. Please vote.

Black text on white background 
"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
 
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
 
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
 
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."

Dude is a professional wanker. I saw them three nights in a row in 2001 in SoCal and each night Liam handed a tambourine to a girl in the front during the same song like a routine in the gig and it seemed too calculated to be a cool Rock’n’Roll gesture.

In case we were worried I might be wasting my time at “career day”, I got to see the SC Freiburg stadium on an off day & got some cool schwag from companies: the police, the customs agency & from a concert ticket selling website with the earplugs /case. walking home now with music in my ears.

open.spotify.com/album/2WEZUr... It also makes me want to share one of my favorite acoustic albums you won’t understand the lyrics because it’s in Latvian. Please pay particular attention to the track “Laiks” which I still remember 15 years later means “time” in 🇱🇻. It’s forest music for fairies 🧚

Cheeky midday #beer while waiting for my wife and two dudes are playing medieval music on two guitars next to me. Life is so good when you do it right. Ps. This is one of the latest bars you can go to in town and it’s open at noon. God bless degeneracy in moderation.
