Loves sports but mostly for the laughs. Idiot who until very recently described himself as immune to poison ivy. Allergic to just way too many goddamn things. Find me in my gardens where hope is everlasting.

It is time once again to discuss the Most Dad Things we have done in the past year. A couple of reminders: - gender is a social construct, anyone can do Dad Things - you need not be a parent to do a Dad Thing - the definition of a Dad Thing is entirely subjective and maybe made up I’ll go first:

Since I’m already on some anti-AI hate list on here. Behold the splendor of this AI World Cup match day graphic someone posted to the top of my work meetings today! Details in alt text. God I hate this lazy shit.

A small graphic posted to the top of a Teams whiteboard. It says “World Cup Matchday” with three simple cartoon soccer players beneath the words. Below the players, today’s matches are listed out.

Spain (just the flag, no word) VS Cape Verde with pic of Cape Verde flag

Belgium with Belgian flag VE Egypt with Egyptian flag 

Saudi Arabia (just the flag, no words) VS Saudi Arabia with Saudi flag 

Uruguay with Uruguayan flag VS Iran with flag of New Zealand

Fun bonus note, the soccer players in the right has a flag on his kit. The flag has a base of the 3 horizontal strips of the Arab Liberation Flag (red top, white middle, and black bottom). The issue here is a red star or other shape in the middle of the white stripe. It is of no current country that I could find. The closest thing I found was the Arab Islamic Republic that was a proposed union between Tunisia and Libya that has a red star in the white band, but also had a Red Crescent.

As a former Forest Service employee… this fucking sucks. Hoosier National Forest protects so much pristine land here in Indiana. That anyone can access anytime for free!! I’d ask what the plan is for these lands… but there is never a plan. Just chaos and destruction.
