Your Bastille Day Tuesday Evening Open Thread

NFL Nuggets:

  • Today is all about getting paid:
    • The Chiefs and DT Chris Jones agreed to a four-year contract worth $85 million.
      • $60 million is guaranteed.
        • Proving there’s some money left in the kitty after Mahomes got paid.
          • Actually, Mahomes’ extension left the salary cap flat for the next two years, so they could top-up now to continue their run.
      • He was on the franchise tag, which would have paid him $16.1 million.
        • He was prepared to hold out for a $20 million per year deal.
    • Myles Garrett & the Browns have apparently reached terms on a five year, $125 million extension.
      • As an extension, it is worth $144 million over seven years, making the cap hit a bit more bearable for the Browns.
      • It is the third-richest overall defensive contract, after Aaron Donald & Khalil Mack, but the $25 million in new money per year makes it the richest per year contract for defensive players.
  • The Eagles & the city of Philadelphia are at odds over whether fans will be allowed to attend Eagles games in 2020.
    • The City has banned all public gatherings larger than 50 people until February 2021.
    • The Eagles believe they are exempt from the declaration.
      • The City says otherwise, as they play in the civic-owned Lincoln Financial Field.
        • And because NFL guidelines “remind teams that local authorities have the ability to ban fans.”

Bastille Day:

It commemorates the storming of the Bastille prison in 1789 by a mob of Parisians during the opening stages of the French Revolution. They were looking for munitions & supplies to fuel the rebellion against Louis XVI that had been fomenting since the year prior, when famine & food shortages led the populace to rise up against the established order.

A national assembly called by Louis XVI to resolve the issue divided itself into thee estates, national assembly divided by social class into three orders: clergy (First Estate), nobility (Second Estate) and commoners (Third Estate). The clergy & nobility represented only 2% of the population, but under the hierarchy of demand they could outvote the commoners on issues of “national importance”. When they refused to meet any of their demands, and indeed locked them out of the assembly hall, the revolution began under the auspices of creating a new National Assembly. They certified their stance by swearing the “Tennis Court Oath”, on the Jeu de Paume, an indoor tennis court, in defiance of King Louis XVI’s order to disperse. In these modest surroundings, they took the historic Tennis Court Oath, with which they agreed not to disband until a new French constitution had been adopted.

From here the National Assembly began demanding authority to rule on behalf of the people, something Louis XVI, by virtue of “the divine right of kings”, refused to surrender. He called out his royalist troops to defend public institutions. An attempt to negotiate a truce failed when civilians, fearing their leaders had been captured, stormed the Bastille prison where the negotiations had been taking place. As a result of the fighting, 200 attackers were killed, but so was the provost of the Bastille & his guard, which allowed the facility to fall into the rebellion’s hands.

Emboldened by this success, the commoners began rising up against all monarchist institutions, initiating the Great Fear (la Grande peur), which led the majority of French nobles & upper clergy to flee France. In the wake of this, on August 4, 1789 the National Assembly passed a law abolishing feudalism, which has been described as the “death certificate of the old order.” Further, they replaced feudalism with the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (Déclaration des droits de l’homme et du citoyen), a statement of democratic principles grounded in the philosophical and political ideas of Enlightenment thinkers like Jean-Jacques Rousseau. This came into effect on August 26th, and became the cornerstone for the democratic France we know today.

The current government of France decided to commemorate the day by increasing pay for health care workers. After negotiating with the various health care unions in France, the government agreed to provide $8.5 billion (7.5 billion euros) in raises, averaging about $208 (183 euros) a month for nurses and health care workers. For the first time since 1980, the usual parade was not held along the Champs Elysees. France has had nearly 210,000 confirmed cases of the coronavirus and more than 30,000 COVID-19 deaths since the start of the pandemic. They instead held a small ceremony involving a military walk-past of dignitaries, and a flyover by the air force.

So you are fine paying for tax breaks for the rich and wealthy?

Kind of — I am convinced that I am paying too much in taxes, probably because of some lazy person on welfare, and I stupidly assume that the GOP is actually going to do anything other than pass more tax breaks for the rich.

That one’s made for HBO so a bit different from Adult Swim fare.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Adult Swim also has adult in the title for a reason. But they are limited by cable rules so 12 to 14 for viewing depending on the sophistication? Except Samurai Jack; everybody can get some Zen from that show.

Gratliff

Regular Show also skewed significantly younger than Adult Swim fare. Wouldn’t raise an eyebrow to it as opposed to Rick & Morty or the like. Of course, with the kid hitting 13, it’s becoming a constant debate between his mother and myself about what’s acceptable to watch. When I was 13, my favorite thing to watch was Spice on my grandfather’s black box when they were asleep, so I’m a terrible model for such things.

Agreed; when I was 13 not only did I and every other one of that age I knew, know about orgasms, it occupied much of everybody’s conscious thought.

OK. Figured it out. Hitler died 30 April 1945. His chancrous evil fucking satanic soul flew around the astral plane for fourteen or so months until 14 June 1946. On that date, that soul entered the newly born corporeal being we know today as Donald John Trump. And here we are.

Well as everyone knows, Donald had an unusually long gestation period of just about 14 months, which puts conception right around April 30 of the year before, so no soul journey is even necessary! Of course this does come with the corollary that life begins at conception…

It’s not an explanation, but, an analogy. Trump is the chestburster, the USA is Kane.

Once upon a time, they had him on Weakest Link with other wrestlers and he completely dominated out of nowhere, despite the fact that I think he was still talking with a voice box in the ring at that point, having been severely injured as a child when the Undertaker tried to burn him alive, as one does. Raised some eyebrows, then people started catching on to him having a political blog where it was very clear that he was a psychotic libertarian. It comes as no surprise that he was the sole vote against the mask mandate on the Knox County board of health.

The Devil, wallowing in self-pity after losing a fiddle duel, stopped at a gas station to drown his sorrows in beer and gas station pizza. The combination messed up his digestive system so he rushed to the nearest rest area. After struggling on the toilet for 40 days and 40 nights, the Devil crapped out Donald John Trump.

In addition to the pizza, I’d bet there were a couple of deep fried burritos off the heat roller rack.

I’m watching boxing on TWWL. The guy from the the USA came out to the ring, looking and sweating like he just ran a 10k. His opponent looked ready to go. I don’t know boxing, but, the guy from the USA is getting destroyed.

Whatever it was, it worked. He just won on a TKO.

Yeah that’s stupid. The least they could do is send all the Darrell Jackson’s a notice saying their voter eligibility is being questioned so they have a chance to prove they don’t deserve to be disenfranchised. Also, you could use a Social Security Number to ensure the right person gets culled.

Gumbygirl

I was proud to vote for him in the last election. He is a good and honorable man, better than rural and suburban Alabama deserves. The cities are democratic strongholds, but everywhere else is…Alabama. I’m just hoping that enough Tide fans can’t bring themselves to vote for a Barner, and he could maybe squeak out a win again.

That kind of thing is right in my wheelhouse, like Alan Furst books. Can you provide more information or are you going to make me do Drunk Googling?

The book is calked Mistress of the Ritz, by Melanie Benjamin. It’s a little romancy, but seems to be pretty well researched. The couple, Claude and Blanche Auzello, are real. Blanche especially was cool, she was an American and was also (secretly) a Jew. She ended up in prison, and was about to be executed when the Americans liberated the jail.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Thanks, I downloaded a sample from Kindle so it won’t slip my mind.
If you like that kind of pre-WWII/early WWII espionage stuff, you won’t go far wrong looking into the aforementioned Alan Furst.

Shelley apparently lives a few miles up US 281 from me in Blanco, TX, in an old Pinto or Vega. Very sad story.
From Wiki
Duvall has lived out of public view since her retirement in 2002. In November 2016, USA Today reported that she appeared to be suffering from mental illness. A segment featuring Duvall on Dr. Phil in 2016 drew significant criticism from the public, with many suggesting that Shelley Duvall’s mental illness was being exploited. In the segment, she refused the offered treatment.

I’d tell Dr Phil to suck dirty stump water through a pygmy blowgun myself, so can’t fault her on that.

Gratliff

Fuck. Though, she’s in her 70’s at this point, so I would think she’d have been legally placed somewhere, but the world is garbage, so I’ll have to assume the saddest possible outcome.

Viva La Tabula Raza

It’s fucking Texas. No compassion for losers that don’t have their shit together (TBF, she’s also legally allowed to refuse assistance). Couple folks I know up that way say they see her around town, like a sad bag or shopping cart lady. Not sure when the last sighting was.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Mental illness is a whole different ball of wax; if you are defining “losers that don’t have their shit together” to include people with legitimate mental illness then fuck you with a huge rusty chainsaw. If you are talking about how the majority of Texans view and understand mental illness, then you’d appear to be very accurate.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Based on some of your other comments I’d think it is the second option, at least I’d hope.
