RIP to my favorite Presidents Day fun fact.
John Tyler, our 10th president, had a grandson alive until last May.
John had a son while in his 60s.
That son had a kid while in his 70s.
And that kid, Harrison Tyler, passed away last year at age 96.
So… New fun fact:
John was born during Washington administration. So 3 generations of Tylers span EVERY PRESIDENCY IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
Pope Leo XIV in a very practical Lenten Message to all Christians says:
“I would like to invite you to a very practical and frequently unappreciated form of abstinence: that of refraining from words that offend and hurt our neighbor. Let us begin by disarming our language, avoiding harsh words and rash judgement, refraining from slander and speaking ill of those who are not present and cannot defend themselves. Instead, let us strive to measure our words and cultivate kindness and respect in our families, among our friends, at work, on social media, in political debates, in the media and in Christian communities. In this way, words of hatred will give way to words of hope and peace.”

Well, that was a first.
I was just contacted by some guy asking to buy a print of ‘the painting of the boy and his grandpa sitting on a wagon watching a rocket launch’…but tgat he coukdnt find it on my website.
I replied that I never painted anything matching that description, and he sent me this obviously AI-generated rip-off of ‘The Unknown Awaits’. (Second image is my original painting).
I know this gentleman meant well...he was genuinely looking for a legitimate way to get a print of an image he liked as a gift for his son...but this is going to be an interesting issue from now on.
@esaumccaulley Spurs fired Frank?! Can we get an emergency podcast on this? A "Holy Goal Post" episode?? I'll come on as a special correspondent if you can't find anyone else, but I want to hear your take on this
Ok. I was really caught off guard here. I did not expect my visceral reaction to this message from James Vanderbeek.
Do yourself a favor and listen. Just listen. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
RIP James, God speed🙏🏼
@FootballRamble Palhinha does have a couple of incredible goals so far this year, so I don't think him scoring is that much of an issue.
MVD is the best answer for Spurs though.
I was once doing a crossword and the clue was "Wood from Lord of the Rings." Six letters.
"Mallorn" didn't fit. Neither did "Fangorn," nor "Mirkwood." "Willow" didn't match the nearby other words. I tried every Ent's name. I was so frustrated.
The actual answer? "Elijah."
@MethodMinistry Are these shepherding the body of Christ as well as doing these jobs? If they ministry training and have specific rolls within the body, but they are also pastoring, what is the issue?
I'm Anglican, so we don't use the term. I see it interchanged with deacon a lot.
@Allthings__THFC IMO, it shows the talent of the team despite the narrative. These are all outrageous goals that display the quality of players we have. So really, it begs the question, why are we in 14th?
@cranium2001@Mr704intheQC I lived in Raleigh for 20+ years, I had maybe 2 native born friends. Everyone else in my circle was a transplant like me. Many from up north and the Midwest.
@TalkingTHFC Madders and Kulu come back for a magical run 👀
Ange said fans are supposed to dream big, but it's Spurs...
So I think a UCL while getting 17th or relegated is totally possible lol
Tottenham must be the only club whose next few days in the window can both help them in the the CL last 16 and save them from being relegated, what an establishment
I love Dom, but he's not this season's or last's top scorer.
We sold Brennan, last season's top scorer, because Frank seemingly didn't know how to use him.
Richarlson is this season's top, and he's out injured.
All that to say, I hope Dom starts banging them in...
🎙️| Thomas Frank on Solanke:
“Dom is huge for us and he's been out for six months. To have your main striker and top scorer out, I'd like to see other teams deal with that. He's a physical beast and he's been pushing himself.”
@fiago7 As a Spurs fan, I can support it. As long as we don't get relegated 😭
Maybe we'll get a decent manager in by then a Luka will actually WANT to come to Spurs
