Originally this post was supposed to be "A laugh at our culture" until I could see all that I had . . . it was all about Olympic queerdom in France.

    Ok, that has a fantastic lineup. The pole vaulting one made me LOL! Can't believe the Olympics have been ruined by these selfish, woke, confused non-athletes. They're relentless...

    "I'm the slime oozing out from your TV set" --- Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, 'I'm The Slime', on Overnight Sensation. (A top 25 album of all time, IMO.)

    Me dino once heard a lib I was politely arguing with during the Nineties about the danger of letting too many Muslims into this country sing "Diversiteeeeeee!"
    That is what inspired what I wrote today.

    That part of DEI--inclusion--is something that would make George Orwell proud. If there was ever a term that meant just the opposite, this is it. The whole entire point lo "inclusion" is to exclude one or more particular groups.

    The next turning will be mainly physical but the spiritual will be in play both in the end of this 12K cycle and the beginning of the next.

    The Olympics is the athletes and their sports.Don't throw out the baby with the bath water. The athletes are not the political assholes who put on the Olympics. The politics were disgusting but the athletes were superb even though many were infected with the meme infecting the producers behind the Paris Olympics.

    Here's what helps me...
    When I see those people. I go through the people I have "impacted", and I find gratitude for how THEY are at least different.

    I don't care if it was Free Tutoring the neighbor's kid, or how I raised my daughter.

    I like to say in my head "My daughter would laugh at their stupidity". It takes my EGO out of the equation.

    But there is truth in "Ignorance is Bliss". I remember the movie "A Beautiful Life" (with the italian kid during Nazi Germany)... Anyways, you see what you focus on.

    I see GREATNESS every day. Wonderful comments here. People who care deeply.

    I will be the remnant. I will bring people together when 4th turning passes...

    And I hope to see you there... Maybe even lean on you for some help!

    You did a good job squeezing some humor out of a sad situation, OUC, and you got the subject covered. Aha, so THAT's what happened to Colin Kaepernick! Adrian!!!!! Too bad the Italian female boxer didn't kick that creep in the balls - she'd be even more world famous and would deserve a gold for honesty! Again, the first and last are well chosen.

    Sorry to hear about your loss.

    I get that the subject is not optimal but it was current and I had 20 memes in that vein to choose from.

    Never thought I'd live to say that the Olympics makes me sick enough to puke out the rainbow I've been force fed.

    my sense of humor is on life support
    been that way for around 6 years now, personal major unexpected loss

    around me i see most people have zero understanding of History and most people are clueless that there are other people around them that deserve a modicum of respect, their actions being driven by a complete lack of thinking of others

    Aw, come on, the view creatures as silly stupid as it gets, ken, spot on, not a buffet, people that hate pancakes and butter, which sport is it, men or women? (is that C.K.?) trans rocky wants to be called Adrian!, coach begging: "Kick him in the balls!!!" and after all that, someone still needs guidance on what one should be offended by!

    Kick em in the balls and not a buffet should have at least got a chuckle out of you . . .

    I found them very funny but then I've been told I have a warped sense of humor. 😉

    The last one tells the whole story on what is broken.
