My wife just walked into the room in time for that goal. She's not allowed to move the rest of the game. #askwxm

I can't believe I'm looking at the league table and doing math - again! Mind-boggling to be thinking about a trip across for a game next season and be wondering which league they'll be playing in. #askwxm

The Quiet Emergency A conversation about what's actually killing men my age

At 10am on a Tuesday, two men sit on a porch with whiskey and cigars. One hasn't slept in two years. Neither calls it depression.
On the quiet emergency killing men at the highest rates and what it costs those who love them.
Invisibility, obsolescence, and the slow erasure of mattering.

I'm up! My younger self wouldn't know what to think about my old self getting up to watch a 630 am game on new year's day. I hope he's having a good laugh. Let's do this reds! #askwxm

Single-issue voters need to realize that their behavior is a privilege. Democracy is collapsing. Healthcare subsidies are being lost. Immigrants and minorities are in danger. Negative campaigning against Democratic candidates because you disagree on one issue throws vulnerable people under the bus.

Yakety Sax To those who stay

So I stay, and you stay. We are holding up the world in our own small way.

This is for those who will never give up, even if you dream of running. For those of you who stay when it would be easier to go.

Missing starters against a team that was in the PL last year. Great result although the chicken littles will certainly squawk. #askwxm

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson is UNDERRATED! Championship's most disrespected gaffer? YouTube video by Simon Lillibury

Interesting video that fits with why I've given up on almost all Wrexham pods. The chicken little nonsense after the Stoke game made me wonder if the fans need to level up out of National league to keep up with their team. #askwxm youtu.be/6xuiMEQwqzk?...

Still feels like Trump literally demolishing the White House is lazy writing and way too on the nose, even for a metaphor.

β€œYou can win elections by tacking to the middle; lots of people have. But you can also win elections by staking a moral position and convincing people to agree with you. You can earn support by demonstrating what is important to you instead of just being determined to nod along with what you hear.”
