Bobservations

Back story … several times over the last few years Carlos has played his trumpet at the local Catholic church mass for Christmas and Easter; he has also played at events for the Hispanic parishioners.

And, because I cannot always drive him to his translations, he asked if he could put up a note on the church bulletin board to ask for rides and one woman, Diane, answered and said she’d be thrilled to drive him whenever he needs it.

Now, he and I take walks nearly every day that I am off on various trails in and around Camden, but he wanted to walk more so he asked the woman who drives him—is he becoming Miss Daisy—if she knew of a group from the church. Well, she didn’t but she created one and they had their first walk today and Diane told Carlos that some of the women questioned walking with him because he’s a :::gasp::: homosexual and Diane told them that if they took issue with him because he’s gay that they could just stay home and not be part of the group.

Last week, we had car wash Karen and this week we have Diane, proving there are all kinds of people, good and bad, in the world and we need to school the bad and thank the good.

PS Diane brought him Gatorade so he could hydrate during the walk! 

This Tuxedo says is from March 2021 …

Tuxedo wants y’all to remember that, not only is he saving lives with the vaccine roll-out, but he’s not running off in the middle of a pandemic to have a play date at our expense. 

Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley, who has been whiny and unhappy ever since conservatives lost their stranglehold on the state’s Supreme Court in 2023, just can’t take it any longer and so :::foot stomp head snap::: she’s not going to run for re-election in 2026. 

Bye bitch.

Snoop Dogg apparently pitched a hissy because he took his grandkids to the new Pixar movie and it featured a Lesbian couple who were having a baby, and one of the youngsters asked how two women could have a child together. And then Snoop went apeshit about the cartoon lesbian kiss.

Imagine living as a Black man, and a rapper, in America and surviving the censorship, and the police harassment and being labeled a threat to society only to turn around and do the same thing to another marginalized segment of society.

Do better, Snoop.

When you hit the voting booth, in every single election, remember that any politician who tells you who you can love, what gender you are, what books you can read, what history you can learn, and what religion you can be is not pro-freedom.

Vote accordingly.

That's Polish CEO Piotr Szczerek stealing a hat that tennis player Kamil Majchrzak had handed to a young fan at the US Open last week. A statement ALLEGEDLY authored by Szczerek went out claiming he was just faster at grabbing the hat than the kid; Szczerek denies he said that but issued this apology:

"All statements appearing online accredited to us were false and were not authored by us or our representatives. For years, my wife and I have been involved in supporting children and young athletes, but this incident has shown me that a moment of inattention can undo years of work and support. It is a painful but necessary lesson in humility."

Really? Cuz I learned the lesson about not stealing from children without ever stealing from children in the first place.

Of note, Szczerek did not apologize until the story broke and his company took a financial hit. So, as I said on Facebook, I imagine Szczerek probably prefers one of those red caps most of the time.

PS Tennis player Kamil Majchrzak met the young boy personally and gave him a new hat.

Blake Leahy is a male model based in London who is into positive well-being and more so are you positive … Would You Hit It?

  2. Becky Bradley's petulant, isn't she. Gatorade? Nice! Isn't it interesting how Snoop's story changed as the blowback continued?

  3. Diane stepping up to support Carlos is such a beautiful example of kindness and standing up for what’s right. Tuxedo, as always, keeping things grounded with a touch of humor. The rest of the news Snoop, the CEO incident, and Justice Bradley definitely shows how important it is to pay attention, think critically, and stand up for fairness and respect wherever we can.

    1. Kindness exists but it gets very little attention so when we see it it seems shocking!
      Tuxedo was the smartest cat ever.

  4. Diane rules!
    I'd go in walks with here any day.
    And the problem with Snoop is that he didn't think all that much when he had to explain his past arrests for drug and for ... MURDER, right? But a same sex couple with a child? The HORROR! He's feeling the heat.
    Piotr? He's I dick. I watched the video. There was no question the hat was for the kid.

    XOXO

  5. What is "Gatorade"? I don't think that it is sold in England. I imagine that it contains genuine alligator urine which does not appeal to me.

    2. I thought Gatorade was universal, an electrolyte drink to rehydrate for sports people or those recovering from illnesses perhaps when they need to drink more. Equivalents you might know are Powerade, Lucozade, Hydralyte etc. Most have far too much sugar and sodium, of these Lucozade has the least.

    🥰 I know in my heart that there are still more Dianes than Karens or Beckys in the world, and we need to lift them up like you did today! Remind the Karens, like Becky Bradley and Joni Ernst, that shame still exists and they should crawl back under their rocks where nasty little insects belong! 👏👋
    🤬 That brings us to that shameless Polish rich guy who grabbed the hat! He shamed himself before he grabbed the hat. He entered a scrum of young fans, the only "adult" at the front, and was telling the player that he had wrongfully "not given my sons autographs when they asked you earlier" (at an inappropriate pre-match time), so "I am here to collect!" [my paraphrase] The player was giving up his hat randomly and, whether Daddy Karen was confused is hardly the issue, he should not have been there among the kids!! What a 🍆!!
    😸 On the other hand, Tuxedo Rocks!! 🤘😻

    1. Definitely more Dianes than Karens but the Karens grab the spotlight.
      Piotr is an asshat of epic proportions because he grabbed the hat, looked at the kid and then stuck it inside his wife's purse.

  7. It's refreshing to hear of people like Diane - especially in these times. Bradley's expression looks like she has a serious case of "Grumpy Bear." Poor dear....somebody give her a bear hug so tight that she passes....(out). The Bruce Little Bluesky? 100%

  12. *The come for Carlos, they come for all of us. I will organize a Greyhound bus to take us to Camden. Our entrance would put Priscilla Queen of Desert to shame. It will not be pretty.

    *What's funny about Snoop is that he is in the entertainment business and I am sure he has come across gay folk in all shapes, stripes, and sizes. There was a teachable moment for his grandkids and he blew it.

    *Is Blake potty trained? They seem to get younger and younger these days.

    1. I think Diane schooled anyone who might take issue with the idea of talking a walk with a gay man.
      Snoop needs to evolve.
      Blake is young but he looks hot in the briefs!

  13. Treasure Diane and look after her. Her loving response may result in increased health for those who participate.

    Her response was much kinder than mine would have been -- either:

    1) He's blind, so he won't comment on your tacky outfit or cheap shoes

    2) He is a practicing homosexual. He is still working on his technique (bonus points if you can work in Trainee cap).

    Tuxedo knows, he was on to the DONald early on !
    Bradley looks like a damned sourpuss, glad to see she’s leaving, Wisconsin deserves a hell of a lot better.
    And speaking of hell, Snoops and SzczeWRETCH can both go to hell.
    Bruce Little is SPOT ON !
    Carlos has a friend that is a true Catholic who lives in the light of Christ’s compassion something desperately needed in many churches.

  15. Diane sounds like a very lovely woman. What do these other women think, that Carlos' gay-ity will rub off on them? Some people are sooooo stupid.
    I get there is a 2nd Amendment in the USA (and grateful it doesn't exist here in Canada). but I don't get how anyone can justify that easy access is appropriate. Stats indicate we've had 2 school shootings in 2025 in Canada, and 228 school shootings in the USA. If that doesn't shock lawmakers, I don't know what will.

    1. The right twists the 2nd Amendment to suggest it means you can have as many guns as you like forgetting that the amendment was written when people only had muskets that fired ONE shot at a time and had to be reloaded in between each shot.
      Nothing like the guns that can shoots dozens and dozens of bullets if a fe seconds.

  16. That was an uplifting story about Diane. The world needs more Dianes.

  17. THE NERVES of those women who questioned walking with Carlos. Did they expect Diane to say Carlos was out of the walking group, essentially created for him, to appease them? WTF.

    1. Created BY him; he started it and Diane told them that if anyone had an issue they didn't need to be part of it!

  19. The thought processes of some people really bother me. How could a middle aged gay man be a threat to a probably middle aged woman?

    It was a questionable decision in the first place to have Snoop Dog perform at our football grand final later this month. It has since been called further into question after his latest bile.

  21. Well done Diane!!! I can't imagine not wanting to walk because there was a gay man in the group! Hell, when I drove my sons' gay friend up to his dog sledding outing in Avoriaz I was so GLAD he was gay because hey, someone to talk to (although at one point I had to tell him I hadn't been listening to him for the last half hour)!

    1. It is a group of Catholics and so there may be some people who don't want him there, but then he'll just go walking with Diane, and me when I can join.
