I just finished reading the 14-point draft memorandum about the ceasefire between Iran and the US. After reading it, I can say definitively that abso-fucking-lutely nothing was accomplished by bombing Iran in the first place. The biggest thing that stuck out to me was that the US is giving Iran $300 billion for bombing the shit out of them. This is fucking pathetic.
Am I the only one who wished that there was a horrible tragedy that that occurred during the UFC event at the White House?
It is crystal clear that nobody won anything in that war. This is a draw, just like a soccer match. Speaking of which: FIFA. Transition! Living in Washington state, 6 games are being played locally at Lumen Field, where the Seattle Seahawks play. Funny enough, it looks like FIFA is not calling any stadiums by their corporate-funded names. Makes me miss the days of Giants and Shea Stadiums. Before the World Cup started, I walked past Lumen Field on the way to a baseball game between the Mariners and the Mets at T-Mobile Park. All of the "Lumen" signs were blocked off by tarps. Wonder if anything weird will happen when Iran comes to play here next week. Awkward!
I know I have ragged on soccer players in the past for being a bunch of fucking pussies faking injuries. However, I would like to acknowledge that they are also athletic powerhouses who have the objective cardiovascular conditioning to run around for an hour and a half and still perform at peak level performance game in and game out. That makes them the most athletic and cardiovascularly conditioned bunch of fucking pussies on the planet faking injuries. Seriously, in terms of full contact sports, put their player-to-player contact highlights next to American football players and there is no question who has more testicular fortitude. For fucks sake, forget full-contact sports. Compare soccer players to baseball players running into each other or getting beaned by a 95mph fastball. Soccer players act like they are made of paper the way they crumble at the slightest contact.
Happy Pride! As a cis-het male, it's nice to watch the bi- and pan- girls dress up in celebration.
