For nine straight years, Hoboken, New Jersey hasn’t seen a single fatal crash. Here’s how they did it. reasonstobecheerful.world/the-city-where…

Geordie Nana: They don’t make them like this no more. 81 years old still cycling to work grafting since 14 born in the 1890s. Do you not think of retirement “I don’t want to go home sit on the chair and wait for the undertaker to call…If i die with me boots on that’s champion”

“They stayed a little back, off the front lines.”

This Club ❤️

In 1995, Sandra Bullock was the first person ever to buy movie theater tickets online, in promotion for her new film THE NET. Wow

🧵SALT🧵 It's been snowing in the UK and the road gritters are out in force, begging the question: Have you ever wondered where that grit actually COMES from? The answer is more magical, beautiful and fascinating than you probably realised. 1/14

Five years ago today.

@Capt_Fishpaste Agreed…but it’s only three seasons (2022-23) since all three promoted teams survived and are still there (Fulham, Bournemouth, Forest). Teams staying up is not as rare as people are currently implying. ChatGPT says 1.65 of the three promoted teams survive on average (last 20y).

Agreed. Said from day one I hope all three promoted teams survive. Please let us be the class who shake things up 🤞🏻🤞🏻 #SAFC #LUFC

8 seasons. We rebuilt. We returned. And now… Derby Day winners. This team knows what it means. This city deserves it ❤️ Thank you boys 🥹

GOOD MORNING, WEARSIDE.

Rusthall FC’s number 9 (an electrician by trade), spotted fixing the broken floodlights during their game yesterday. Non league football at its finest. 👏

Last night, one of my dreams came true. For years, I’ve dreamed about playing in the Premier League. Some people laughed at me. Some coaches I had when I was little said I’d never make it. Lots of people told me I wasn’t good enough and to give up. But I’ve always held onto that dream of playing at the highest level. Deep down I believed that if I just kept working, kept learning, kept showing up every single day, then one day it might happen. Last night, that dream that 4 year old me had….came true. And if you’d told me I’d make my debut at left wing, up against my mate Mo Salah, I’d have laughed as well. From non league in 2014, to being released by Watford in 2015… there were moments where it felt like this day might never come. Sunderland, you’ve been my home for seven years. I never knew I could fall in love with a club, a city, and its people the way I have. You’ve given me space to grow, to fail, to learn, and to find out who I am as a player and a person. To play even a small part in rebuilding this beautiful club and helping it climb back to where it belongs is something I’ll always be proud of. Making my Premier League debut… I’m incredibly grateful. Taking a moment afterwards to stand with my mum and dad and breathe it all in… that was special. But that debut chapter is written now. The focus is on pushing on, improving, growing, and helping drive this club forward with this unbelievable group of players. Seven years ago we were in League One. Fast forward to last night and we have a team giving everything, disappointed to only get one point against the Premier League champions. If that’s not a moment to stop, reflect, and feel proud, I don’t know what is. Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this journey; my family, my friends, the staff, the supporters, and my teammates. It’s just the beginning ❤️
