Well the Astros lost…to a team of flappy-heads.  And the Twins beat the Orioles (since there is a lot of rooting interest in those two teams from several Glibs).  About the only other thing going on in the sports world is the courting of perennial assclown Carmelo Anthony by many NBA teams.  Seriously, who in their right mind would openly invite cancer into their body? Nobody.  Then why would an NBA team plan on throwing $100M at a minimum to bring that guy in?

Lots of big tennis matches today as Wimbledon trudges on. I’ll make a bold prediction that all of the top seeds playing will advance with the exception of maybe one minor to moderate upset. Nothing ever seems to happen there until the second week of the tournament.

And in case anybody was wondering, and I know some of you are, college football starts in 7 weeks and the NFL is exactly 2 months away from opening their season (the same day the Buckeyes open up as well!). So we got that going for ourselves, which is nice.

Anyway, you guys have places to go and people to see and undoubtedly don’t want to keep reading me ramble on and on. So let me go ahead and usher in…the links!

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son. At least he had the decency to resign.

Leftist, anarchist assclowns go apeshit in Hamburg. I hope they get the water cannons out in force today.

United Airlines just can’t stop shitting the bed. Plus their excuse smells like bullshit. We “scanned his boarding pass improperly”? Since when do they scan anybody’s boarding pass with anything but the exact same indifference the scanned the previous one with?

Never trust your lady parts to Florida Man Doctor! Also, dude, you’re 87. May be time to perv elsewhere, huh?

Perhaps there was a woman menstruating nearby. (Cue up the STEVE SMITH sprinter jokes.)

Illinois House overrides Governor’s veto to pass budget. Let the taxing begin!  I hope every one of them get primaried. And the funny thing is, the are still gonna get their credit downgraded.

And last, but not requiring a link, Trump to meet Putin today. From what I hear on Fox, it will be a glorious meeting where Trump will tell the Russian leader what we plan to do in Syria and North Korea. From what I hear on MSNBC, it will be Putin telling Trump what he will do in Syria and North Korea. And from what I hear on CNN, they will eat a baby together on Russian state TV while urinating in the mouth of a wheelchair-bound transgender midget. I’ll have to find out later tonight how it goes. I’ll be on the golf course this afternoon.

This needs no intro.

Have a hell of a great friday, friends.

Grüezi mitenand. I had told the other Founding Glibs that we should stick to analog… Like a good Swiss watch. Oh well, I guess it is a digital age after all. Here, nice and reliable links for you all.

• Intersectionality malfunction? Does it matter that it is not in the US – or are they more “authentic” for being in the East Indies?
• Florida fireworks Fail. Kind of the anti-Florida Man result.
• I shall call him…. “Mini-Trump“! ….Trump o’ the Nor’ East?…The Bangor Bloviator?…The Augusta @$$hole?
• Illinois….uh, State Malfunction?

Enjoy timely and working links. Uf wiederluege mitenand.

(more…)

Pac Man calls fro WBO to review fight. Seeds move on like they do every year at Wimbledon. A bunch of NBA teams show the world what a bubble really looks like. And the ASTROS!!!! That’s really it for sports. I’m not mailing it in.  Seriously, that’s pretty much it.

So here come…the links!

.

CNN builds land mine. Then steps on it. I don’t know how else to explain them intimidating a (supposedly 15 year old, gay) internet poster into removing everything online under threat of being doxxed…all for modifying a meme that’s been around forever in a way that makes fun of them.

Can we get a head count on all the Chicago Glibs, please? I want to make sure none of them were collateral damage.

Chris Christie does a really good honey badger impersonation.  Look at that crazy fucker. He doesn’t care. He don’t give a fuck.

In important news that didn’t get very much coverage, the Baker-Hughes and GE merger has been completed. It should cut costs and make upstream operations more efficient around the world, positively effecting the costs for oil and gas exploration and distribution. But it’s not as shiny an object as others.

Joey Chestnut runs a train on some weiners. (SFW, ya pervs!)

While it may draw an icy reaction from the Social Security Administration, I think it was a pretty cool way to try and recoup some of what he paid into the system.

Hey, CNN: I hope every other internet troll out there above the age of 15 responds to your threats and intimidation with this chorus.

(Note: I had a couple good pics and captions queued up, but CNN had to be assholes, so I only got to post the Chestnut one as the main image. Thank those assholes for deserving a lot worse than what I quickly found. And if you can’t tell, I’m really, really disgusted by what they’ve done in light of a clever meme put together by what is being reported as a 15 year old kid.)

That’s it for me, folks. Have a hell of a day!

Its been a good loooong weekend so far. Lots of heat and humidity, as God intended. The Astros took two of three from the Yankees after someone gave me a hard time about it on Saturday. And Wimbledon got underway. A bunch of signings in the NBA, which will interest our Romanian contingent. And soccer is just around the corner.

Of course, all of those things pale in comparison to football. College or pro. Take your pick. Its still the greatest thing in the world and I daresay its what has made America the greatest nation on the planet.  Well, that and creating more than our share of the world’s wealth, our development of time- and labor-saving devices, our advancement of democratic institutions and our ability to put men on the fucking moon when nobody else could.

So enjoy this independence day. Even those of you from other countries. Because even with our whiny, butthurt snowflakes, even with a blowhard of a president, even with dickheads on college campuses trying to take away free speech and even with those choads from antifa  trying to stir up a civil war, this is by far the greatest place on earth.

Now that my heart is racing, here are…the links!

Jeopardy decides to “Stay Woke”. Hilarity ensues. (TW: Salon…but worth it in case your tear barrels are running a bit low)

Generation Z will likely be conservative, contrasting the millennials. The study says their (Gen-X) parents are doing a good job of raising them to recognize bullshit when they see it. You’re welcome world. We may have just saved you.

Elon Musk can’t seem to get his factory working as planned. But don’t worry.  I’m sure some government agency will throw money his way to help out with his latest Tesla scam.

Hey, can somebody get the governor on the phone and have him get one of those pardon forms out? Because when a child rapist serves 27 months and the parent of his victim who kills him gets 40 years, I think there is something wrong with our justice system.

You guys have seen all of those migrant stories of the influx pouring into Italy lately, yeah?  Well if Austria has their way, they might just stay there rather than pour into other nations. (Note: OMWC pointed out the disclaimer at the end and how lovely it is. Enjoy it, but be sure to get your Newspeak translator out first.)

Looks like the two most progressive places on the left coast don’t like each other. Now if only we could get people from Williamsburgh Brooklyn to move to…wait, where would they go without their parents funding it? Nevermind. There’s no equivalent.

MURRICA!!!!!!!!!

Go out and have a great holiday. You earned it, America. (Enjoy work the rest of you!)

Well, my holiday weekend dedicated to poling SP’s raft was interrupted by the ringing of my special phone, hidden where no-one can find it. This must be an emergency indeed, since I had no Girl Scout meetings planned. And it was. The frantic voice on the other end gasped, “Disaster! There were no Links this morning! THE COMMENTERS ARE LOOKING TO LYNCH SOMEONE!!!!”

This came at an extraordinarily inconvenient moment as I was steering around a sharp bank and about to arrive in the cove, but shit, where are my priorities? I leapt up and started typing before the torch-bearing hordes would descend on Rancho Sloopio.

It’s times like these I think of Mencken. “…and give it to them good and hard.”

Software that will never be on my computer. You made your choice, guys.

I’ll take the over on Melania deciding to catch up to Queen Michelle, but I’ll be delighted to be wrong.

I can definitely appreciate first-rate trolling. This fellow will go far.

And finally, I would not have known about this Pompeii relic were it not for the great Charles Murray.

Now please, please, please, can I go back to what I was doing?

ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN ONES. ZARDOZ’S BRUTAL COWORKERS ARE QUITE ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT ZARDOZ TRYING OUT A DRAG RACE. THEY HAVE PROMISED TO HELP ZARDOZ DEVISE A HELMET – AS BRUTAL RACING AUTHORITIES WILL NOT ALLOW RACING WITHOUT ONE. ZARDOZ THINKS THAT PERHAPS A SILO TOP CAN BE ADAPTED. LUCKILY, ZARDOZ’S GRAVITRONIC CONTROLS MEAN NO PARACHUTE NEEDED.

WHILE ZARDOZ PREPARES FOR RACE, HE LEAVES LINKS FOR HIS CHOSEN ONES TO ENJOY.

• ETERNALS IN PENIS-SHAPED STATE PULL “WASHINGTON MONUMENT STRATEGY”
• THE TABERNACLE ENRAGES ENTITLED BRUTALS
• ZARDOZ TEMPTED TO GO TO VEGAS, JUST TO GAMBLE, OF COURSE
• BRUTALS LIAR GRASPS OBVIOUS
• BRUTALS SHOW KIND SIDE, GET CAPTIVE OFF

It’s Sunday. You’re hungover. Those fucking church bells are making your pounding head go nuclear. There’s only one remedy- enjoy yourself ignoring the Links.

Many shootings have made the news, key among them being this case of Affirmative Action for Mass Shooters. The NYT reporter, in a fit of “needing to empty her mind of vacuous thoughts” unleashed this gem:

The attack appeared to be the type of mass shooting by a lone gunman that has struck communities around the United States.

Despite assurances from my SJW friends that mass murder is a white-male-only occupation, I really do question the need for Affirmative Action in this profession. Here’s another example. To be sure, despite 28 people being shot, no-one died (yet), which unfortunately contributes to the totally unfair stereotype of Affirmative Action putting unqualified people into jobs just to be able to give a satisfactory ethnic/gender breakdown to EEOC.

And speaking of enstupidation, I am reduced to headshaking when I read shit like this. I can only think of the Middle East, where action is driven by rumors of nothingburger, and the aggrieved groups are so numerous and indistinguishable that one wishes that we could just gather them all together and fence them off, allowing things to take their natural course. But this is here, and in a place that I loved to visit and explore in my (((youth))). I truly hate people.

Some anniversary in North North Dakota was an excuse for social signalling by the usual collection of the hollow-headed. This is the sad effect of too much poutine.

Just in time for breakfast, a clever idea.

Fuck it, I’m now depressed. Day-drinking is my only remaining option. I suggest the same to all of you wonderful people who inhabit the Comments.
