Home Alone is SO unrealistic: Buzz’s bedroom circa 1990/91 has an Isaiah Thomas poster *and* a Chicago Bulls sticker? Please. No self-respecting fan of either team would have done that. (The movie was set outside of Chicago, so that should have been an MJ poster).
To those of you saying, “Isaiah was from Chicago!” Yes, but Buzz is about 13 or 14. This is what he’d know about Isaiah and Chicago:
Join me next week, when I discuss what Damone’s bedroom posters say about him in Fast Times at Ridgemont High!

ICYMI: I wrote about Muriel Spark's career and "critical but conforming" Catholicism for @firstthingsmag.
firstthings.com/article/2019/0…
Spark was hilarious.
Spark often returned to two religious preoccupations: the mysterious workings of grace and the dangers of moral superiority (something approaching antinomianism).

Lots of people out to see the ‘Zards take on the Lakers. They’ll be so upset when they found out that Dwight Howard is stil injured!
There are 10 Lakers/Heat/Cavs jerseys for every one Wizards.
Former Badger Sam Dekker is with the ‘Zards now? I had no idea.

I guess it's official. I'll really miss @weeklystandard. Thank you to the many great writers there for expressing and defending conservative values and ideas, and for introducing me to so many great books, films, and ways of thinking.
Many thanks also to @PhilipTerzian and Adam Keiper for welcoming my work into @TWSculture, and for @prufrocknews for drawing attention to it!
Finally, good luck to everyone. I look forward to seeing your work elsewhere.

*** HOME ALONE 2 LIVE-TWEET: THE RULES***

This lecture explores the Christmas classic 'Home Alone 2' through the lens of English and Welsh law.

Contributions and observations are welcome, but I'm perfectly prepared to tweet the entire film to a wall of embarrassed silence.
This paper considers, inter alia, how the adventures of Kevin McAllister might have been different had he, his family and his adversaries been subject to the jurisdiction of the law of England and Wales.
Some basic rules so we’re all singing from the same (John Williams) song sherry:

As I am not an American lawyer, nor diligent enough to do the research, we assume that all activity takes place in the jurisdiction of England and Wales.

Dear Chicago..
We hear your cries..
All across the Nation & around the World..
Those covering-up for these criminal actors deserve to be held criminally accountable as well. ei: Mainstream Media Censorship
@realDonaldTrump offered to send help= Rahm Emanuel said NO!
Chicagoan's NEED to reverse the STRICT anti-gun laws, then learn proper use, care, & safety then... USE THOSE GUNS to protect themselves from criminals INCLUDING their leaders. That is exactly what the 2nd Amendment was designed for!

no one leaves home unless home chases you
fire under feet
hot blood in your belly
it’s not something you ever thought of doing
until the blade burnt threats into
your neck
and even then you carried the anthem under
your breath

#home #warsanshire #poems
#WhereAreTheChildren
only tearing up your passport in an airport toilets
sobbing as each mouthful of paper
made it clear that you wouldn’t be going back.

you have to understand,
that no one puts their children in a boat
unless the water is safer than the land
no one burns their palms
under trains
beneath carriages
no one spends days and nights in the stomach of a truck
feeding on newspaper unless the miles travelled
means something more than journey.
no one crawls under fences
no one wants to be beaten
pitied

For the past five years I've been using a mnemonic tool in graduate seminars, which walks students through everything we need to know about a book. I call it #THOMAS and it works really well 1/
The T in #THOMAS is Topic: the basics of the who, what, when and where. What the book is about 2/
The H in #THOMAS is Historiography. What debates is this book intervening in? What does it add to/challenge in these conversations? 3/
