Subsequent GTD reflections

Hello there fellow DFO’er.  Hope you’re well today.  And thanks for coming back to see last weeks tl;dr of last week as decided by my brain.  There’s no reason as to why some comments make it and others don’t. Seriously. There isn’t.

Have not been around much, real life is keeping me off the interwebs and busy in general. I’d like a few days off from all this, but that’s not going to happen for awhile.

Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.

---

Also, the entire NCAA National Champion UCLA Bruins starting lineup is going to get drafted by the WNBA. I don’t think that’s ever happened.

Too bad they have to go from making NIL money to WNBA money.

Where is the misogyny coming from on the Russini/Vrabel thing?

I think the two crazy kids should just admit they like banging each other. She’s getting divorced anyway. Why should anyone give a shit?
ballsofsteelandfury

Comment sections the whole sports world over-did you know she’s banged someone for every scoop she’s ever gotten? It’s true.

Well, that’s how John Clayton did it…

So Dianna Russini just quit her job.

That blows.
ballsofsteelandfury

Not in the least bit surprising, though. Yeah, she fucked up, but I am sure her life has been a living hell the past week.
King Hippo

She was a hack who spread misinformation. Now Mina Kimes is a far better female sports personality.
litre_cola

And I say it blows not because she’s above it all, I say it because she has to suffer while Vrabel faces no consequences.

But then again, that’s The Patriot Way!

great moments in mental health from RFK jr

“I was standing in front of my parked car on I-684 cutting the penis out of a road killed raccoon, thinking about how weird some of my family members have turned out to be,” he wrote, reportedly reflecting on strained relationships with his brother Douglas Kennedy and cousin Bobby Shriver. “My kids waited patiently in the car.”

Every political appointee in this administration and their billionaire “benefactors” should be put on an island and made to fight it out until there’s only one left. And then the island should be nuked from orbit. Twice. It’s the only way to get us out of the darkest timeline.

Ticketmaster and Livenation found to be a monopoly.

Now comes the tough part, deciding on the appropriate remedy. Frankly seems pretty easy to me: everyone in the C-suites is publicly executed and we call it a day.

I don’t mind paying taxes, but I get stabby thinking about what the billionaires get away with. That’s (yet another) thing Biden was doing well – increasing the IRS staff and going after wealthy tax cheats, and y’all wanted the stupid racist pedo instead. Ok, maybe not (gestures at clubhouse) y’all, but horrible white people.

I’ll call myself a Catholic, been raised since birth. I recognize and am disappointed and appalled at the shit it’s done. I’m not dumb.

As for other religions, I am completely acceptable of their beliefs, many of them make sense to me. I have friends who are Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, etc., and I’ve had deep conversations with them that have expanded my world view, thoughts, and feelings.

If you’re an atheist that’s completely cool. Who knows who’s right?

But when assholes in the White House go after the Pope, it’s hard to separate the above feelings with how I feel about the Holy Father. I’m saying that part is ingrained.

I’ve been to the Vatican and was blown away. The Pieta made me cry. No shit.

And while those guards dress in fancy boy costumes, I would not mind seeing them laying waste to those fucking turds in DC. Fuck them.

Great post 💯
I’m sure every single lawyer, litigator or not, has had to field this: “X did [heinous thing] to me. Can X do that? Isn’t that illegal?”
Well, X already did [heinous thing] so yeah: X can do that to you, and much more.
Laws are worthless if they are not enforced. And for laws to work, you need government officials to give a shit—from clerks to cops to district attorneys to judges to whatever independent oversight agencies still exist in the federal gvt.
Of course, if the majority of folks put values above personal interests, laws cease to be indispensable. Or not even values; just keep it light on the greed. It still jars me that “conflict of interest” has become outdated and utopic.

Mission report full Day One!

At least the French know how to deal with their tyrants.

Boy howdy we got into Paris today. Holy fuck.
Notre Dame is open and gorgeous but still under construction on the Left Bank side.
Did the walking food thing and the best dessert hands down was an Iranian dessert made with Phylo dough and butter. Mine was lemon cardomom.
Crossed the Seine, had 2 baguettes a latte and so much cheese.
Probably pushed 7 miles.
Louvre tomorrow but first?

All the French wine!

Bon jour!
yeah right

This site goes down so often we oughta change the name to “Dating Nancy Reagan”

There might just be justice in this world. It’s occurring in a small part of northern Ontario but it’s a start.

Wifey had to leave a prestigious job because the environment was incredibly toxic, including a superior actively undermining her for years. Top management has been replaced wholesale by the board of directors that oversees this institution. There’s an interview process involved but the job is hers if she desires and it’s entirely on her terms.

Hell, I can squat more than my weight and I only have TWO legs, I can only imagine what I would be able to lift with 6 more legs to distribute the weight!
Doktor Zymm

This is true folks. When I visited Chicago, she charitably hoisted me up and squatted me.

Deep dish pizza power is real. Birds and Wyoming are not.

Just crushed an outstanding double cheese burger and a couple of “bier blondes” while having the best people watching seats anywhere on Rue De Beaubourd in Le Marais.
Visited the Picasso museum today and for my money?

Fuck the Louvre. The Picasso museum was the SHIT.

Footy starts at a proper time here too being 7 hours in advance of DFO central time.

Cheers people. Wish you all were sitting right next to me as I hoist another one.

PARIS fucking RULES!
yeah right

We’re out to dinner, and because I’m a classy guy I’m wearing my Mike Liut Whalers jersey. We’re at the bar and one of the waitresses comes up: “Is that a Whalers jersey?” She’s very excited, and also not old enough to serve drinks herself, she has to have someone else bring them to her tables.

I say yes, it is a Whalers jersey.

“My Dad loved the Whalers! Do you like the, um, Canes?”

Me: (guacamole squirting out from between gritted teeth) “No. I do not like the Hurricanes.”

Her: “Oh, my Dad loves them. They had a Whalers Night last year and he went and I honestly think that was the best day of his life.”

Me: (internally) YOUR FATHER IS THE SORT OF COLLABORATOR THEY HUNG AT NUREMBERG AND QUITE FRANKLY DESERVES THE SAME FATE!!! GIVE ME THIS TRAITOR’S ADDRESS STRAIGHT AWAY, YOUNG LADY, THAT I MIGHT SMITE HIM FROM THE EARTH AND REMOVE ANY TRACE OF IS TREASONOUS SOUL!!!
(externally) “Well, we all handled the Whalers moving away differently, I guess”

Oh, we’re back to bragging about our Applebee’s money again, are we?

An inexcusable result! If this match doesn’t emphasize what the importance of having a world class striker in your squadron is, I am not sure what does. That lanky Jerry and Swedish Chris Wood simply aren’t good enough to score on the regular — the numpties at the helm need to cobble together every last shilling and bring in Harry Edward Kane at once!

Out and about today.

We found this place.

I think it’s a lighthouse or something?

Not sure.

Now it’s bier blonde and so much cheese.

Weather is fucking stunning.

Bon jour!

Wonderful write up, and congrats on joining us over 50’ers on the dark side.

Tomorrow I begin my final work week. With burning up the last of my paid leave and a few days of clearing post, May is a wash. So next week is it. Cleaning out the desk and office, handing over continuity files to the THREE, count ’em… THREE… different staff agencies that are taking over my workload. That’s some restructuring goin on huh. And heading out into the sunset, at the beach, where the pretty topless ladies range free.

It occurred to me that a couple of the lovely ladies who have made the past years much more pleasant, are also moving on. My translator and favorite waitress have new gigs, so that goes a long way towards making this big break a bit more bearable.

Gonna be a special week for the kid, I’m ready to go.
