Sat by my front window enjoying a cup of tea and feeling a little overwhelmed, when 3 small birds landed in the small tree opposite. I was reminded of Bob Marley's 3 little birds... "don't worry about a thing..." it felt like a promise.

Poor performance all around. Silly sending off for Gordon, carelessness with offside goals, and too many individual mistakes. We looked tired, lacked concentration, and were out of ideas. The team needs a refresh. #nufc

Kristen Michal Prime Minister of the Republic of Estonia 👏

Does America have any idea what people around the world are thinking of it tonight? Where are the protests? Where is the opposition? Heartbreaking to see a nation's moral collapse like this.

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

Susie Dent nails it again.

Beyond belief. Is this really the man we’re going to fawn over with a State Visit? It’s time for our PM to pick a side

The arrogance of Trump and Vance is incredible.

Word of the Day is ‘ingordigiousness’ (18th century): extreme greed at the expense of principles.

Strange and worrying times.

Trump calling Zelensky a dictator while cosying up to Putin is a new low and incredibly worrying for global stability.

I wonder who @susiedent.com might have in mind...

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

G'day Folks! Happy Sunday!

It's a vital time to proclaim where you stand. Check out my typology prints!

Beautiful paintings in Strathmore Road Methodist Church, produced by a local member.

Worthy of a repost, especially today.

Absolutely this from Ed Davey 👏

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

Rarely have I read something which I feel is honest, balanced, and which captures the club, the city and the people so well. Well worth a read... #NUFC #Newcastle inews.co.uk/sport/footba...

Tonali is absolute class. #nufc

A very Happy and Blessed Christmas to all.

Who else is scurryfunging?

Yes, this. 👇

Amen.

What a dreadful game. Such a poor atmosphere too. #MCIMUN

A bigger stadium is essential for the future. The question is whether to stay and expand or move to a new site? www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Wife: Are you enjoying the game? Me: I'm not sure 'enjoying' is the word. Life as a #nufc fan.

Unfortunately swapping X for Bluesky hasn't made #nufc play any better.

A very well written, researched, and thoughtful piece on the assisted dying debate and bill from @iandunt.bsky.social iandunt.substack.com/p/trying-to-...

World beating UK, energy prices nearly double anywhere else. Also the UK, every energy firm making 4-10x profits. I wonder if they are related?

Churches across the UK call on banks to stop financing new fossil fuels: justmoney.org.uk/news/churche...

I can't remember the last time three #nufc players started an #England game.

My word of the day (and personal recommendation) is ‘snerdling’ (18th century): nestling cosily beneath the covers and holding off the day a little longer. Morning.

😂

I hope this is better than X.
