"America how can I write a holy litany in your silly mood?"
www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/49305/...
America
America I’ve given you all and now I’m nothing. America two dollars and twentyseven cents January 17, 1956. America when will we end the human war? I don’t feel good don’t bother me. I won’t write my poem till I’m in my right mind. America when will you be angelic? America stop pushing I know what…

Clearing our mum and dad's house after our mum died in June. We've found a book much cherished by my grandfather that we feared had gone missing forever.

Another satisfying evening. And Crystal Palace get three. Isak, I'm sure, will draw consolation from his old teammates progressing to the next round. #nufc

Well, communicating clearly matters. If only journalists adhered to such standards today.

It was a Christmas present from you. I suspect I gave Depeche Mode to you, not sure which song.

I love AOC. She's so refreshing. Such a pleasant change from no-brain narcissists, soulless "I'm not racist but ..." zombies, thieving billionaires, and all the other heartless, life-despising loudmouths who have seemingly lost the capacity to think and feel. #Hope #Mamdani

@aoc at the rally for Mamdani Sunday in NYC.

“This city was built by the Irish escaping famine, Italians fleeing fascism, Black Americans fleeing slavery and Jim Crow, Latinos seeking a better life, Native people standing for themselves, Asian Americans coming together…”

So good!! 🔥

As Taylor might say, "It's actually romantic."

Jesus was born Jewish and the Jews despised the Samaritans. Jesus's parable teaching that acts of generosity are expressions of God's love has a Samaritan as hero. His point is that love sees beyond difference, beyond creed, colour, sexuality, gender etc. etc. Christian nationalism is an oxymoron.

No lies. No hyperbole. Just truth!

Especially the part about the new bunker!

I love it when he gets possession and then effortlessly performs what looks an unimaginably difficult turn. He repeatedly creates great space with his first or second touch.

For the second goal yesterday, Bruno finished emphatically and Tonali cleverly protected the space for him, but Will Osula's run and shot were transformational. Once he's honed his talent to match his passion he'll be unstoppable. #willosula #nufc

I watched the film and read the book after seeing your post. I've been haunted by them for the last week and a half. The novel has an impressive, direct style and I found it compelling. And now I've read your terrific article. It illuminates the film and is tremendously lucid. Thank you.

Anyone can become disabled.

Anyone can lose their job.

Anyone can become homeless.

Anyone can go hungry.

These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant.

Most people are far closer to living in poverty than they realize.

We must fight for one another & for the most vulnerable.

This is what courage sounds like.

Letitia James: “Stand tall. Never cow down or back down or break or bend. There is no fear today because I believe justice will rain down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.” 👏🏽

When the cockle pickers were drowned in Morecambe years ago I spoke to students about how people were dehumanised by the label 'asylum seekers'. Someone said, "But it's not sad like a family drowning on holiday." Then it went quiet, because, I think, everyone realised that's exactly how sad it was.

🔴Language matters. Rather than 'migrants', why don't we just call them 'people'?

Some thoughts on how we can do better. 👇

Yes, it seems as if he was 'injured' because he refused to play, and now he's 'injured' because Slot doesn't want him to play.

Very sad news that Daniel Naroditsky has died. He was clearly a brilliant chess player and a remarkable elucidator of the game. He also had a very likeable manner. He was a stranger to me but he seemed a kind, open-hearted and original spirit. May he rest in peace.
