We Talk Friday
(WTF)
This is a semi-regular series that I will run on Fridays to hold discussions on a current topic from the week gone. The aim is to keep them light and conversational, though some might be heavier - regardless of the content topic itself though, just have some fun engaging and discussing with whoever happens to put in the effort in the comments section below.
1. Gang of Thrones
The King of Norway died today at 89, leaving his son Haakon as the new King. But in traditional royal style, it doesn't come without controversy, as the new Queen has a bit of a storied past, and present. Mette-Marit, after spending some time in high school in Australia, became a bit of a raver back in the nineties and had a child with a convicted drug dealer of some kind. You know, that happens. But fast forward a couple decades and that son, who is half brother to the crown prince and princess is under house arrest while appealing his conviction for rape and abuse against women.
He also looks a lot like Joffrey from game of Thrones.
And then of course, she had a close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
... Ah, the glamour and grace of royalty.
2. Kiss my What?
I was reading recently about how @Gen-Z are no longer kissing much, because they either think it is gross or they fear fucking it up and being embarrassed. I am embarrassed for them. But since they are active on Tinder, what this means is that they have now made it all transactional, keep emotions out of - no kissing the prostitutes. Ah well, they aren't having much sex either. I guess this is why there is a rape culture in high schools - and of course, learning from the example of royals.
I have never fully understood how so many people have so much trouble finding sexual partners. Any insight?
3. Politics of Petty
With the ongoing "trade war" (random nonsense) between the US and Canada, Trump has officially changed the name of Lake Ontario, to Lake America. Clever. The thing with changing the names of places and landmarks is, that no one else need change. So the rest of the world will leave the name as is. But, what might be fun is if the rest of the world decide to get in on the game and start changing their national official names of places in the United States. Fifty new state names, all the cities, all the parks and random places, and then update the maps. It could be a global competition where people could vote on what names a place should have.
I will be visting Yorky McYorkface to see a Broadway show.
And this is what taxpayer money gets spent on.
If you could rename a famous landmark, what would it be and what would you name it?
