Something good is happening at this World Cup.

The Scots turned up. The English turned up. The Norwegians turned up. They sang their songs, got stuck in, and the Americans loved them for it. Glasgow and Boston are getting twinned off the back of it.

For 30 years we’ve been told to view the US as some sort of Great Satan — all imperialism and orange-man clichés. Not everyone buys it of course, but enough do.

And then Europeans actually go, and find a place that feels familiar. Makes sense to them. A bit richer, a bit further ahead, but recognisably ours. Settled by Europeans, still deeply European in its bones.

There’s a gathering-of-the-clans feeling to it. Old neighbours discovering they still like the same songs, the same drink, the same daft humour, and genuinely enjoying each other’s company.

None of it’s a surprise, really. It’s just been buried under so much politics that we forgot we were allowed to enjoy it.

Good to be reminded.

Matthew McConaughey says he used to think God would say "thank you" - now he believes God will say "you're welcome"

"I'd always ask, 'What do you think God's going to say to you?' I was always like, 'I think he's going to say thank you'"

"Then this hit me five years ago. I was like, 'No, that's a bit arrogant there. What he's probably going to say is you're welcome'"

"I do have a hunch that the world's conspiring to make me happy. I may be delusionally optimistic. I don't care. I actually believe it"

@ChrisVernonShow @Jon_Roser Good run guys

@DailyMemphian Please stop taking up for Memphis/Shelby Co. leadership. It is hard to admit for us. However this is how everyone views us in a broad description nationwide. Beyond time to ask questions why. If the public sentiment doesn’t change(especially those with a voice) and demand better

[cory @corycarpenter00]

@The_DocHolliday At some point in time, if Memphis refuses to look the mirror, the end is near. Rich people expect to be pampered. I’m not saying that’s right but If you can’t pamper them someone else will no matter what house they were born in. Everyone wants to move up in life. Elect better

[cory @corycarpenter00]

@kendricdavisfan City leaders should wake up. Complaining about the task force is least of your worries. You will be the leadership that loses the Grizzlies

@ChrisHerrington You’re a nerd. Nerds are always safe. I hung out downtown half my life and it’s way better. U hung out in coffee shops. It’s not the same nerd.

[cory @corycarpenter00]

@ChrisHerrington So…. Did u leave memphis tho?

[cory @corycarpenter00]

@ESimmons79441 The guy saved Memphis. Downtown is , mostly, peaceful again. You do not speak for Memphis

One of the movers from #blacktie moving happens to play tuba. And he brought his mouthpiece with him. I clearly picked the right company.
