Well that was one of the most insane thunderstorms I’ve ever seen in the UK..

Can’t quite believe this footage I’ve captured over Liverpool tonight ⚡️

The first all-Merseyside FA Cup final doesn’t disappoint.

The two best teams in the country go head to head, & it’s the Reds who are triumphant.

They complete the domestic double with a 3-1 victory. Rush with two of the goals after Lineker had given Everton the lead.

03/05/1986:

With Liverpool needing a win at 5th placed Chelsea to claim the title the stage was set for a hero.

Their player-manager stood up.

Cometh the hour…..

A year ago today LFC were crowned Premier League champions. Sky released this video - a masterclass in storytelling

The mascot never imagined that approaching that security guard would make history.

Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us.

Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
"NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.

It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.

May God bless America.

“It is open for transit should Iran not do that”

[Let Us Now Praise... The Beatles @BeatlesPraise]

"The Beatles changed everything. Not just rock music, but life, the universe, everything. You had to be there to truly understand what I’m on about but for anyone that was there, they know. After the Beatles, no one was ever the same again, the young and the old, singers and politicians, sportsmen and actors. Everyone.

"They were the most magical thing I’ve ever seen. This complete four-headed monster, each of them as good as the other. You could see them feeding on each other’s energy, and you could see they were having fun. They’d swear at the crowd and when they’d make a mistake they’d crack up laughing, which nobody did at all back then. This was in ’62, before their first single had come out. They would come on stage and you were just awestruck. It was like they were from another planet.

"I could never believe the fucking harmonies, they were so good. They had that thing going that you very rarely get, that they just knew what the other one was going to do. They can’t hear a thing they’re singing — there were no monitors in those days, and all that screaming, but the harmonies were perfect.

"And everything the Beatles did broke new ground. They were amazing — greatest rock group ever on the earth."
