The night before battle: a poignant harmonica wavers on the wind. Teesside troopers share liquor, cigarettes, war stories & gallows humour. #Boro Bravado. Laughter. Nerves. Fear. Cynicism. A former steelworker proudly shows photos of a sweetheart. He's punching. #UTB

Doorman and building staff may go on strike against building owners in NYC for the first time in 30 years+ next week, and I can say that among apartment building residents, there is a 50/50 divide between "Give them anything they want" and "Give them anything they want, you assholes."

FT: 1-2. #Boro were superb in a high-tempo, assertive first 45 & battered Millwall. Created six big chances but didn't make it count. Again. Second half sloppy. Again. Killer goal self-inflicted. Inevitable it was Coburn, screaming out what we are lacking: a striker. #UTB

FT: Nils. A frustrating cut & paste performance for blunt #Boro who pile up all the passing and possession stats but lack penetration and are flaccid up front. Another blank. A point and Ipswich/Millwall drew but losing momentum and swagger. Making hard work of it. #UTB

The US banks want nothing to do with propping up Argentina’s economy. The country has defaulted on its sovereign debt nine times. Yet we entered into a “currency swap” for their pesos that we will never get back.

When I worked in a Teesside College there were many Muslim students. They sent Christmas cards and were active participants in college Xmas functions. The flag shagging community need to be aware Jesus is a significant figure in Islam and the vast majority of Muslims enjoy Christmas.

New York in the late 1970s was a much better setting for movies than now. It was gritty, grimy, and violent. New York has been beautified and has so much less crime it's hard to suspend disbelief when movies pretend it's a hell hole.

One of the biggest losses in the UK has been our newspaper industry. Once the envy of the world, even when Murdoch owned most of it, now 95% is little more than dirt cheap, right-wing ragebait. Hard to believe that The Times was once called "The Thunderer".

Without a well resourced and skilled Civil Service the country would descend into anarchy within a fortnight, sure it can always do things better but this myth that politicians pedal that you can massively cut it and still get everything done is just a lie.

The most frustrating thing about the climate crisis is that we have a lot of the solutions already, they just need implementing at scale, and the only thing that's stopping that happening is the fact that it would make a few very rich people a bit less rich

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

Other Gen X do remember that those John Hughes teen movies were just movies, right? It’s not just me? And the adverts… they were just adverts. We didn’t actually exist in golden colour grading with pop soundtracks. We existed in dull boredom with the impending threat of nuclear holocaust and AIDS.

She 100% tweeted racist incitement and pled guilty for doing it in court, was afforded legal representation and due process, the law she broke was one passed by the previous Conservative government. Political prisoner doesn't mean imprisoned for breaking laws made by politicians, that's all of them.

Why can’t a single American journalist do this? Trump has repeatedly claimed he’s ended numerous wars — he’s now increased the number to ten! — and he’ll surely do it again. Ask him to name the wars he says he’s won. Ask Leavitt. Ask Hegseth. Ask Rubio. Just fucking ask them & don’t let go.

How wonderful. Watching BBC give 90% of its political coverage to an opposition party that has 5 seats, while ignoring 100 % an opposition party with 72 seats. The media and the far right are lovestruck bedfellows. When we have Nigel Farage as PM,we know full well who to blame. Nonsense #libdems
