My last full day in Jamaica but I got bare work to do :(
Been thinking a lot about British-Jamaica relations, what strategy if any the diaspora should adopt, class snobbery/colorism in JA, development, education, culture and stuff....
Will try and put it all into a an article or at least a few coherent threads on here when I can.... been coming back and forth every year for the last decade and I think some of my thoughts/feelings are a bit clearer now...

Also while I think ever body understood my sentiment and intentions I think this tweet was not worded correctly and wanted to put that out there while we here, what it should have said was....
'Yo fam, none of my business what you do with your p but I wonder if you've ever considered organising the man dem to get a small club when you retire as a newer generation of youts from where your from could really benefit from a club run by ppl that know where they coming frm'
You see my own experience playing for multiple pro clubs as a yout and seeing so much talent go to waste for a whole host of possibly controllable reasons makes me know a club that understands where a lot of young players r coming frm and what they really going through is needed

If you was thinking about not training today cos it's Saturday I was feeling that way too fam. But we'll feel much better afterwards so lets have a go, even if its a light session. Safe. Have a good one 👊🏾
I will say this, as the years progress I have gotten much better at listening to my body and not overtraining, when you used to be a full time athlete this is actually harder to do than it sounds....
So if I am feeling run down or I have just got off a flight I'll still train but I'll just do some stretching or light shadow work and leave it there, whereas before I'd be like nah you gotta go ham every time and either pick up small injuries or run myself down too much...

Yo my bro @sterling7 nuff respect. Don't you think its time you and the man dem got together to buy a lower league club? You'd find a swathe of willing investors/sponsors and it would show real a level of seriousness? Just a thought..
Other potential options include withholding your ££ from the PFA if you are unsatisfied that YOUR union is serving you correctly (the head of the PFA makes £2.2mil a year, you pay him, what does he do for you man??)
Black premier league footballers probably make the most disproportionate contribution to the UK tax base of any *minority* group in any employment sector, aren't you man tired of getting chiefed up??

It's my last full day in Papua New Guinea tomorrow so I've decided to do a thread compiling all my favorite images of the 5 years I've spent here. It's been great and horrible at the same time but I'm going to miss it. It's a beautiful country and I totally recommend you visit.
one of my first photos. i did a bit of part time volunteering at the lae nature park a long, long time ago, but i quit shortly after realizing they weren't actually conserving any of the animals. they were regularly kidnapped and a security guard was shot and killed on a shift.
the park was also home to a huge fucking croc. i forgot his name but every morning i used to feed the lad. i hope he's doing okay rn. u a real one

I said I did some research on the story alleging that our warrior patriot, Rep. Jim Jordan was aware that his wrestling team members were being molested and did nothing about it. I'll share that now.

1. You must admit that the timing of this breaking news defies credulity.
2. Jim Jordan has made things a little uncomfortable for our DAG and I can't help but wonder if this 'investigation' into allegations involving a sports team doctor who died 13 years ago could be on the order of a little 'tit for tat.'
3. I wondered how it was possible to investigate the actions of a dead man until I read that Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien said his next step would be to determine if there was criminal obstructing —if the alleged misconduct was properly reported and then ignored.

This is my travel thread:

I am officially 100% nomadic. I sold everything I own to travel perpetually. First stop: London. From there, I’ll just keep traveling. Namaste 🙏🏼
I really did sell everything I own to travel forever, and I made a video to kick things off. Check it out:
Always take the bottom bunk.

The #UraniumOne hashtag (related to the bogus Clinton/Mueller/uranium) story has generated 328870 tweets in the last ten days.
High volume makes me suspect bot activity. I looked for repeated tweets, and found quite a few. 127 accounts tweeted this, for example.
Next I looked at the top 40 accounts (measured by number of RTs) driving the #UraniumOne traffic. @RealJamesWoods is the biggest source.

It's my last full day in Japan. (thread)
The past couple weeks have been pretty peaceful. I have people taking care of the cats and they say they've been doing fine.
This morning I went for a long walk around Sapporo. I never really plan my vacations. I like to wander a lot and see what I find.
