俺の親父は
工場勤務だった

朝5時に出て
夜9時に帰る

風呂入って 飯食って 寝る
それだけの38年

俺はずっと
「親父みたいにはなりたくない」
と思ってた

夢がない
趣味がない
話もしない

ダサい大人だと思ってた

40になって 自分の子の顔を見た時
分かった

親父は 夢がなかったんじゃない

俺たちが 親父の夢だった

朝5時に起きてたのは
俺をランドセルで学校に行かせるためだ
夜9時まで働いてたのは
俺に大学を出させるためだ

話さなかったんじゃない

話す元気が
全部 残ってなかったんだ

親父 ごめん

「ダサい」じゃなかった
あれが「漢」だった

俺は今 やっと
親父の背中を歩いてる

[Kylian Mbappé @KMbappe]

Aujourd’hui est ta dernière danse.

Toi qui nous as tant donné.
Nous aurions dû t’offrir une meilleure fin, mais nous avons échoué.
Mettre des mots sur ce que tu as apporté pendant 14 ans est très difficile, tant tu as été un acteur majeur du renouveau de cette équipe. Les gens n’ont pas toujours su apprécier ta grandeur, mais le temps et l’histoire s’en chargeront…
Merci de m’avoir donné la chance et l’opportunité de représenter mon pays sur la plus grande scène pendant tant d’années.
Je me sens privilégié d’avoir pu être aux côtés de l’une des plus grandes légendes de notre pays, et je ne garde que d’excellents souvenirs de tout ce que nous avons vécu et accompli ensemble.
Je te souhaite le meilleur dans ta nouvelle aventure, et encore merci pour tout ce que tu as apporté à ce maillot qui compte tant pour nous.

You don’t need to be liked by everyone. You need to stop feeling ashamed when you're not.

If you lived there, @Jason (and I do), you would realize that France is in a spiral.

The culture you refer to is historical—and the wine & produce are still excellent, as is some engineering and academia. But it is a self-inflicted failure, with the rot evidenced by economic data and attributable to the present-day culture of entitlement, laziness, arrogance and the buying-in to pan-European wokeness.

Of course, not everyone is of such a mindset. But those who have seen the light are the French that have lived abroad—and they all recommended not moving there! The rest are provincial, resist change and have made complaining a national sport.

A recent stay in Milan was so refreshing (I’m sure @chamath would agree): not dodging dog shit on the sidewalks or enjoying the fragrance of human urine everywhere (yes, these are real things…still).

The country is beautiful but insufferable.

So, who’s going to “protect” its culture?

Man do I want Paraguay to lose. Not just because they deserve to, but because I don't want to have to watch any more of them.
