Woke up this morning thinking about this poem I listened to in uni 17 years ago. Feels strangely prophetic now.

Still unpacking the Zelensky-Trump breakdown from yesterday. Few thoughts: immediately struck by the integrity of Zelensky for speaking truth to power the way he did. Can’t help but believing it might be to Ukraine’s detriment however.

Excellent little charity shop find today. Read this a few years ago and loved it, and then remembered this passage and have been pondering what it might mean in my life #booksky

It’s interesting to me how Salah’s form this season has shifted the conversation from purely goals to goal involvements. Curious if this is representative of a wider shift in player analysis. Any thoughts/insights @distancecovered.bsky.social @knoxharrington.bsky.social #redsky #ynwa #lfc

Spent last night consuming as much post-match reaction to #LFCMCFC as I could. After the first half of the season being very unemotional, since the derby it has all caught up with me, didn’t realise how much I needed a big win to correct some negative imbalance in my football loving life #Redsky 😂

10 wins from 12 mathematically guarantees Liverpool the league. 9 and a draw does the same job barring some wild goal difference swings. Arsenal once again will fail to break 90 points, which remains the hallmark for a true PL contender in this era. Will Arsenal fans keep the faith in Arteta?

Spent today listening to ‘Grace’ and aside from being a broadly stellar album, I’m strongly of the opinion every guitar player should be listening to this for tone. Clean, modulated, and dirty tones all blended, the whole album is tied together by the electric guitar. Masterful, none more than this

Started sleep-training our little boy tonight. Solid 2 hours crying, finally got himself off to sleep about 2 hours ago. Sitting anxiously waiting for the next bout of tears.

Guitarists of BlueSky: today I finally jumped into the digital world with a HX Stomp XL. Looking for top tips, good IR downloads, ways to make sure I get the most out of it. Don’t want it just to be flashing lights for my baby boy to think are for him #guitar #guitarsky #newgear #musician

All the replies to my posts have been from Evertonians, which is totally fair enough. Any reply which I think I can engage with positively I’ll try. Can also hold my hands up and say I’m clearly still emotional about the game last night, probably should’ve followed my own advice re deleting posts 😂

Some reflective morning after the night before thoughts. Will try to thread them, but I’m an increasing tech novice when it comes to these things.
1. A draw was a fair result in a largely poor display of football quality. A couple of well taken chances for each team, and not much else.

Tonight’s the night where I write several posts and then delete them before posting. Even this post has been edited several times in an attempt to refrain from stoking the trolling fires of other fans.

Some music you listen to ages badly. This sounds as exciting as it did when I first heard it over 20 years ago. Think I’m on for a bit of a prog-metal day #musicsky #nowplaying #dreamtheater

If you’re getting somebody to write a review of a performance, they should have at least some grasp of the nuances on show. Savage has mistaken a PlayStation controller for a noughts and crosses board, which in some ways is a neat metaphor for the rest of this article.
Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl half-time show was one big tease
The star hinted that he might not play his smash hit Not Like Us, but gave viewers plenty to absorb.

Watching #TheApprentice. Honestly, the levels of cringe are too much. Where do they get these people?

#LFC going out of the FA Cup, genuinely a bit of a shrug of the shoulders from me. The next five league games are massive, and anything that increases our chances of success there is priority. Clearly Slot felt similar: the first 11 should’ve been able to win, but the bench said not worth the risk

Just finished my 5th book of the year. I’m really enjoying reading this, first time since my early teens. Irreverent, funny, very British.

In love with how quick the Arsenal hype train derailed there. Thought they were meant to win every game from now until kingdom come.
