WHERE ARE THE LINX AT?
The Lynx of your wildest dreams!
Lynx
Ratsy:
I worked with a guy who used lynx to surf the web while on the client site. Anyone walking by thought it was actual work stuff.
I feel bad for this gal’s agent. She is going to be one of the best players in the league and she won’t make a dime in endorsements.
I honestly saw that pic of her and thought it was a story about the upcoming Special Olympics.
I don’t see any major brands rushing to make her the face of their marketing campaign
Wild, definetly not my wettest dream there.
Exeter – too far south. proper England is north.
The Angles settled in Anglia, Exeter is too far WEST, landing the the Brythonic County of Devonshire.
But were did the saxephones land?
Saxony?
No, that’s where they set out from.
u wot m8
The betting sites called the steal…
I will admit that I didn’t think they’d be this brazen.
They must have put on a ton of miles on Franken’s election night car (the one with the extra big trunk) to get that many votes delivered.
Even that dope Ramen figured that there was no way that she could win and gave a concession speech.
Why even pretend anymore? They should just stuff enough votes for Ramen so she gets over 50% and they don’t even have to bother with the vote in November
The necessary numbers are much easier to manufacture for a primary, when only one quarter or so of registered voters turn out.
It also helps to know how many votes you need to “find” and a week to do it.
We’ll see how happy Los Angelenos are in 4 years with the entrenched status quo.
It should be obvious to anyone with half a brain that how happy Los Angelenos are won’t matter when it comes to election results.
^^^^THIS^^^^
You can vote yourself into collectivism, but you can’t ever vote your way out of it.
Did they honestly have a good choice? The idiot incumbent, a wild-eyed lefty, and Pratt; I don’t think I’d have been willing to go to the polls for any of them.
It’s also true that LA is full of rich people who are unaffected by “democratic socialist” politics and poor people who would not vote GOP under any circumstances.
It would have to get really bad for that dynamic to change.

Not that I care about what asshats from abroad think, but the Olympics is coming in 2028 and this is going to be an epic clusterfuck.
Won’t be any worse than the World Cup clusterfuck that starts in three days.
And it is incredibly blatant. The late-counted mail-in ballots for Bass are basically the same percentage as she has been getting, but the late-counted ballots for Rahman are way more than she was getting. So it’s not “Oh, Democrats just do more mail-in ballots.” There is no remotely plausible explanation for Rahman knocking Pratt out of the general.
What? You don’t buy that 80% of mail-in ballots went to a single person who just happened to need that much to get into the general election? ELECTION DENIER!
It would be even more interesting to see who else gained votes on those ballots. Oh, just voted for mayor you say – isn’t that interesting.
I’m sure some voted for Governer too. But nothing else.
Doesn’t CA do ALL mail in ballots? How did they modify their normal explanation of the numbers spiking later when the mail in ballots start coming in?
It feels like there is a simple fix that would Make Elections Believable Again but isn’t being pursued for some reason.
The reason that simple fix hasn’t been adopted for federal elections is that the Republican establishment doesn’t want it.
That’s a good point. The logical answer is this same shit different flavor is going on in red states.
Makes me wonder if the “MAGA” movement grows or dies after Trump. Cuz yeah, if MAGA dies, elections will never be fixed. Assuming their support for fixing it is genuine….
“Makes me wonder if the “MAGA” movement grows or dies after Trump. Cuz yeah, if MAGA dies, elections will never be fixed. Assuming their support for fixing it is genuine….”
The main objection from the never Trumpers, if you read between the lines, is precisely that Trump gives the unwashed masses what they want instead of just doing what favors the ruling laptop class and their wants. So yeah, unless we get someone that like Trump[ tries to do what the voters want, we are done.

Armenia election: Prime Minister Pashinyan declares victory
Preliminary results showed Pashinyan’s Civil Contract party leading on 49.81%, with Russian-Armenian billionaire Samvel Karapetyan’s Strong Armenia alliance trailing behind at 23.29%, according to the Central Election Commission.
Ex-President Robert Kocharyan’s Armenia alliance was third with some 9.94%, followed by the Prosperous Armenia Party, which cleared the electoral threshold with 4%. The commission said turnout was 59.97%.
The election result cements Nikol Pashinyan’s Westward push away from Russian influence. It is the first vote since a 2023 crushing military defeat by Azerbaijan.
https://www.dw.com/en/armenia-election-prime-minister-pashinyan-declares-victory/a-77447079
Wait a week for mail-in votes.
Is Armenia a Dem stronghold?
With mail-in ballots it could be.
The vote rigging types want Pashinyan.
The impulse towards national suicide is strong with democracies. Armenia is surrounded by enemies (Turkey & Azerbaijan) who will gladly carve their country up. They lost a war to Azerbaijan a few years ago and had to give up territory.
Now they want to turn away from Russia, their only friend in the region, and depend on France and Germany.

There will be Muslims in the red army when the revolution comes, but will Islam be the guide of this revolution?
Absolutely not
https://x.com/SankofaMarxist/status/2063818555800330634
No shit, Sherlock. The Muslims won’t usher in communism, they’ll aim for Sharia, and butcher the useful idiots alongside the other infidels.
If you had a time machine and could go back to kill either Baby Hitler or Baby Muhammed, which would you choose?

My wife just got one that will allow us to stay in the area, which is cool, but it will be a pay cut, which is not so cool.
But this is kind of pushing us to make our next big move out closer to where my brother is in TN, as that will get us closer to my mother and my son at the same time. All of my wife’s family has passed, so no issues there.

“You’re everything we’ve come to expect from years of…”.
Telling lies to advance leftist dogma and stupidity is considered to be fighting the good fight by the marxist douchebaggery.
Small lies are fine as long as they advance the narrative, which is the important part.
There are no crimes on the left, as that pushes the issue in the correct direction.
“Small lies are fine as long as they advance the narrative, which is the important part.”
Oh, commies love big lies. The bigger, more obviously blatantly false, the better. The objective is always to rub it in the faces of those that see the disaster that communism is and make sure they understand their place.
Wouldn’t you know, the RIGHT is to blame for Platner! That Susan Collins is just so extreme that even a wretched white-male is more palatable.
TW: The Nation
The lesson here is that when team blue moralizes anything, nobody should take them seriously. Ever.
Of course you would 🙄. Team über alles.
So instead of voting for the person who voted for the “rapist” unforgivable, you’ll vote for the Nazi “rapist”.
That tracks you ignorant cunt.
Collins is a right wing extremist, who never votes with the right, and hasn’t ever found a fence she couldn’t straddle.
The Nation is quite possibly the most retarded writing, edging out even Salon or Jezebel.

Yeah, firing them feels like a slap on the wrist for destroying the lives of their political enemies.
The normal procedure is to let them continue after telling them to not do it again.
Which are ample justifications for firing someone. Only a pubsec would think incompetence shouldn’t be a firing offense.
Which is why CBS News was so troubled by this – you mean you can be fired for incompetence? Aieieie!

“President Trump labeled the California primaries “crooked” in a blistering tirade and threatened “great trouble and consternation” if the Republicans are locked out in November’s general election.
Trump’s fiery threat comes as Spencer Pratt was pushed into third place in the Los Angeles mayoral primary for the first time Sunday, five days after polls closed, and Steve Hilton hasn’t stamped his ticket to November’s gubernatorial election yet.
“Has anybody been watching the CROOKED Election going on in California,” Trump raged on Truth Social Sunday.
Spencer Pratt, a candidate in the Los Angeles mayoral race, gives an interview.”

That’s not going to do anything. She needs to die in a tragic accident. Trump sucks as fascist dictator.
I checked a lottery ticket this weekend, and every one of my numbers was within 5 of the winning number. Some were within 1-3. Yet I had no matches.
A few months ago I had something similar, where all of my numbers started with the same digit as the winning numbers. Again, no matches.
Maybe the universe is trying to tell me something.
That you need to pick better numbers?
I think it’s trying to tell him to stop buying lottery tickets.
Nonsense!
(He shoulda bought ’em from me!)
That his state needs mail in lottery numbers one week after the drawing?
It is quietly saying “chump” over and over.
Kevin is no Jerry
Jeffrey Epstein’s Arizona ranch won 2 lottery jackpots. But sure, it’s all random.
The court of Judge Imprudent finds you in utter contempt!
Plaintiffs Susan Douglas and Paul Romano say they are being harmed by the event.
Douglas, a retired government employee, says she’s suffering aesthetic, physical, expressive, and procedural harm.
Romano, a retired Air Force sergeant, says he’s suffering aesthetic, dignitary, and procedural harms.
““And the UFC’s broadcast partner, Paramount Skydance—which is run by two other Trump allies, Larry and David Ellison—has decided that no American will be able to take in this “celebration of America” without first paying $8.99 plus tax for a Paramount Plus streaming subscription,” it continues. ”
Well, that’s bullshit.
I can agree with the critics on this one. Tacky and stupid, and if you’re using a public/national space for a private entity to make $$$, no bueno.
Oh I’m not defending what Trump is doing – just that the plaintiffs lack any standing whatsoever.
How many arenas are government-owned but host rock concerts or the like?
Are there farmers’ markets held in public squares?
JI, I agree, those claims of harm seem vague and dubious to me.
Ted, that is a very good point. As I was typing I was thinking of someone filming a documentary in a national park and making money from it. So it’s legal, but I still think it’s tacky and it looks bad.
While I agree that this event is hideously low-class (and that the UFC is corrupt in the way that only professional combat sports can be), it will doubtless strike a significant chord with element #2 of Trump’s base.
Susan and Paul can take their aesthetic, physical, expressive, dignitary, and procedural harms and sodomize each other with them.
I mean seriously, what a couple of pansy weaklings. If I ever stand up in court and sue someone for offending my sense of taste, will one of you please put me out of my misery…
But, in your defense, you would need a sense of taste first, in order for it to be offended.
“aesthetic, dignitary, physical, expressive, and procedural harm”
That’s not stupid at all.
If my aesthetic, etc. harm gives me standing to get a court to order something, then I want Obama’s library torn down.

They should rule that the localities need to pay the residents back the tax monies wasted on these ventures, directly from the assets of the people who made and implemented the decisions.

NPR revelation
Three years ago, Jessa Davis had an epiphany: After she came out as a trans woman, remaining in deep-red Texas felt untenable. So, she sold her house in Odessa and moved to the liberal bastion of Seattle, Wash.
Davis describes herself as a trans refugee. Back in Texas, she says, lived in a “pretty hostile and frankly dangerous” place. “I had a lot of close calls, a lot of threats.”
——-
Davis’ case reflects what sociologists call “ideological sorting” — the tendency to choose communities aligned with one’s political and cultural values. Popularized in the 2008 book The Big Sort, it sets out to explain the widening divide between red and blue America.
In a country that’s growing ever-more polarized, the shifting demographics cut in both directions — and it is happening across the country. In one study from 2022, researchers concluded that “at no point since the Civil War have partisans been as clustered within individual states as today.”
I’m shocked, I tells ya.
a “pretty hostile and frankly dangerous” place.
I’m calling BS on that one. The left is no longer satisfied with acceptance. If you don’t openly celebrate them, you’re being “hostile”. In my outside the Internet life, wherever I go, not that many people bring up politics or social issues. The few that do are almost always Dems.
Contrast this with people moving out of blue states. The reason is usually taxes or laws or something concrete, not “how it made me feel”.
Sure you did, buddy.
I’m sure it’s completely true in this person’s mind.
I will never forget the first time Trump won. One of my wife’s ex-teammates was all over FB saying she feared for her life because she’s gay and Trump is going to normalize going after gay people or something. Today she’s still alive and as far as I know, has never been assaulted by a MAGA person.
A lot of the Left’s power comes from exploiting the victimhood complex that many of the Left has acquired over the past decade or two. When you train people that they are victims, it’s easy to whip them into fear which then breeds compliance.
I’d just love to hear about some of those ‘close calls and threats.’
Someone in a store called him dude, othering him…
I went to high school with this girl. She had a crush on me. The same day she confessed, we were walking home when Netanyahu sneaked up behind us and yelled “BOO!” I let out such a gay squeal that she got the ick and never talked to me again. This is why I’m a Nazi.

Capitalism is the boogieman every life loser blames for them being life losers… The other is racialism.
Bias? There is no bias here
Trump sat with NBC’s Kristen Welker for a taped interview on a Wisconsin farm that touched on the Iran war, potential interest rate hikes and the $1.776 billion “weaponization” fund that could financially compensate convicted violent rioters who attacked police officers on Jan. 6, 2021. Thousands of people stormed the Capitol that day, attempting to disrupt the certification of former President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory.
That fund was created for the express purpose of providing jackpot payoffs to Trump’s mercenary insurrectionists.
It is amazing that the MSM hasn’t run out of fuel to light all those gas lamps.

“Ukraine has not won, but Russia has already lost,” I heard repeatedly, along with laments that the U.S. was providing much less help than in the first three years of the war. Stepping into the breach are Germany, the Netherlands, the U.K. and Poland, along with the Baltic states and Finland.
Explain the problem with the US here.
https://www.wsj.com/opinion/ukraine-is-tired-and-brimming-with-energy-14421c9d?st=8cKJez&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
I thought plans are already afoot for Ukraine to rescue the US military with their super-advanced drones. Don’t tell me that doesn’t involve throwing more billions of dollars at them.
“If it was up to me, I’d pay them the kind of money that they deserve,” Trump said of the fund. “People have been destroyed. Lives have been destroyed. Many suicides, think of it.” The president has repeatedly made such claims without providing evidence.
Those people got off easy. Slaps on the wrists. They should all be in forced labor camps breaking rocks.
The Left is great at finding and publicizing some poor single mother with three kids who has been abandoned by her baby daddy and is going to starve if the evil hard-hearted Republicans kill SNAP program. Why would it be hard for Trump to highlight a couple of J6 protestors who were prosecuted for simply being in the Capitol building (waved in by the cops) and who suffered divorce, job loss, bankruptcy by legal bills, etc.? No, it’s always “without evidence” and the public is led to believe every J6 arrestee beat on the cops.
Ancestor worship?
Everyone is turning Japanese around here.

That ancestor worship cuts across Asia. It is in no small part why the animosity between Asian countries continues to this day. Nobody wants say their ancestors did anything wrong or evil.

I was thinking about the Mayoral election in Los Angeles and the Henry Nowak murder/police incompetence in the UK and came to grips that we aren’t going to be able to vote our way out of this mess. The disdain towards the general populace and the demoralization shows that we are locked an existential battle.
Anyway, Imma get a cup of coffee and look over these internal control reports for the week.
“I was thinking about the Mayoral election in Los Angeles and the Henry Nowak murder/police incompetence in the UK and came to grips that we aren’t going to be able to vote our way out of this mess.”
That is by design… They voted until they got what they wanted, then made it impossible to vote your way out for a reason…
That’s where the Left’s short sightedness comes into play. They are all about power but don’t realize that when people feel like their vote doesn’t matter then they’ll either flee or they will use other means (often violent) to be heard.
This may be my tin foil hat talking but sometimes I think the Left wants to push us into a Civil War so they can finally use the might of the government to subdue their opponents and implement their utopian vision of the world. But I don’t think it’ll work the way they want it to.
That was what the Obama 3.0 admin was all about. They staged J6 and created a whole TV drama to incense people. They hoped to so piss off the people, by stealing the 2020 election, and blatantly confirming they had by censoring and punishing anyone saying so, to get them to go violent. They tried to lock up normal people and declared everyone not a fucking leftard a terrorist. They created fake crimes to prosecute Trump and keep him off the ballot. They wanted some violent reaction so they could sick the neutered DEI military on the American people.
When these people come out and talk about killing or sending all people that disagree with them to reeducation camps, take them at their words.
Peru’s presidential election is stuck in a statistical tie, according to an early tally by the pollster Ipsos, echoing previous elections that have dragged on for days or even weeks.
It put the left-wing Roberto Sánchez on a marginal lead of 50.3% of the vote, compared with the right-wing Keiko Fujimori on 49.7%. While not an official count, the tally has been an accurate indicator of the final result in previous polls.
Official results confirm the race is extremely tight with more than 91% of votes counted.
The election pits Fujimori, a mainstay of Peruvian politics, against Sánchez, who is promising broad economic reforms. Concerns over crime and political instability have dominated the race.
Insecurity and instability drive voters in Peru’s tight presidential race
Recounts will likely be needed to confirm the winner, a process that could take weeks.

HelloFresh published the message on Instagram this week. “We know eating isn’t always a top priority this month. We respect that. But for those of you who are… prepping… we have an extensive lineup of high-fiber recipes available. Happy Pride,” the company wrote in the post.

The NTSB released the preliminatry report on the United 767 EWR incident.
https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/Documents/DCA26FA194%20Preliminary%20Report.pdf
The pilot said that he planned to be below the standard glide slope, never actually stabilized the approach, Was 4 Red lights for at least 20 seconds with neither pilot or co-pilot calling this out, or any indication of correcting the issue.
I don’t know what United’s standard visual procedures are, but this seems to have violated 2-3 standard processes for pilots flying and monitoring.
The pilot said that he planned to be below the standard glide slope, never actually stabilized the approach, Was 4 Red lights for at least 20 seconds with neither pilot or co-pilot calling this out, or any indication of correcting the issue.
The problem with multiple layers of safeties is we become OK with ignoring one or more. Thanks for the posting!
At a minimum, the 3 red decision isn’t a problem.. if that flight path was anywhere near the 3 red slope..
The Pilot Flying called out “stable” when clearly they weren’t. So that is just a “I don’t feel bad about this approach”, not, “I have been on glide slope and stable speed”.
He then blows through the PAPI, and does not attempt to correct. So is it looking at it?.. that was the “plan”
The pilot monitoring said his head was inside.. which would be normal for an instrument approach.. but how can you monitor a visual approach that way?… He should have been watching the PAPI, and calling out.. 3 red… 4 red… and if the PF didn’t say “correcting”… he would say 4 red!! Go around!
Interesting. Thanks.

But Bhakta still needed an environmental and community-impact approval from the state’s Land Use Review Board. He filed an application in early 2024, and the board labeled it as incomplete. After he tried again, the regulator in April 2025 still had questions.
Who is the proposed 10-seat home theater for, they asked, according to public documents from the agency. Are you still storing your vintage-car collection on site? What are you keeping at the library besides spirits? Do you have horses? Will the distillery smell?

Apparently The Adolescence of Utena is getting a US theatrical release.
If you have an opportunity, a sober drive for the ride home and an appreciation for High Weirdness*, I would recommend getting bent and watching it.
There’s absolutely no reason to watch it sober, though I imagine the embedded music video for Toki Ni Ai Wa would be spectacular on the big screen.
*This movie is an attempt to condense a four-season long anime into a 90 minute movie. PLUS, said four season anime was a highly indirect metaphorical exploration of female puberty. There is no possible universe in which this movie will make sense.
Unpossible!
The music is one of my favorite parts of the anime. It’s amazing that it got made and that it is so successful. It couldn’t be made today for a number of reasons.
Sadly the the voice actress who played Utena died young and didn’t have a long career.
I had the perfect introduction to the series at an anime room at a con back in the late 90’s. I walked in right when “Take Care, Miss Nanami” started which meant I got to see that episode and “Unfulfilled Jury” without any other context, which being the xenophile I am made me fall in love.
As far as US DVD releases went, Season 1 was released, and then the movie was released, so I saw the movie before S2-4 showed up, which lead to extreme WTFing on my part, which pretty much sealed the deal in making me a fan.
I couldn’t remember that episode by name. Somebody actually has a “play by play”!

It would fit, but you’ll likely have trouble finding a streaming source.
Give it time. Maybe a year from now.
The thing is there are enough fans and outlets that Crunuchyroll, HDIVE or even Amazon will pick up behind a paywall.
I’m sure I can find a “grey” site, but I thought your flicks didn’t source that way.
Looks like it’s on Pluto, but Pluto sucks ass. Right now it’s saying it’s not available in my location.
Exeter? Not Winchester Cathedral?
I thought of that too.
Seems everybody is hyped for the SpaceX IPO to drop this Friday. Not me.
No1. lays out my reservations better than I can (including some that I was unaware of).

As soon as I heard it had AI in the mix I put my money back in my pocket.
Fear not!

“Former American supermodel Carré Otis filed a complaint Friday at a Paris court alleging she was raped and trafficked by Gérald Marie, the former European head of Elite Model agency, in a move her lawyer said is meant to encourage other potential victims to come forward.
Marie has denied the allegations and cannot be prosecuted over Otis’ case because of France’s statute of limitations. But the complaint could allow other women, whether their cases are time-barred or not, to join the proceedings, Otis’ lawyer, Mathias Darmon, said in a statement to The Associated Press….
Under French law, victims who were minors at the time of alleged sexual abuse can file a criminal complaint until 30 years after reaching adulthood, allowing them to do so until age 48.”

She was 17-years-old 40 years ago.
Insanity.
Why would guys who could get laid just by smiling at groupies resort to rape? Did Wilt ever need to force someone? Tiger?
Tom Jones? Elvis?
Didn’t you hear, Regret is rape.
“Sixty Minutes” is a rare network news show, all right. It makes money. How? Let’s just say when there isn’t a late afternoon NFL game on CBS, the audience disappears by half. This, sadly, is also the story of traditional TV writ large—kept afloat by football.
OK, I LOL’d.

“Yesterday, after the contentious interview President Donald Trump gave to Meet the Press’s Kirsten Welker, Democrat Illinois House Speaker Emanuel Chris Welch posted on X complaining about the president’s supposed mistreatment of black women and journalists.
“This interview hurt my soul,” he wrote. “The mistreatment of black women and journalists by this President is downright embarrassing and unacceptable. Kristin Welker is neither crooked nor stupid. She is a history-making journalist who has earned the right to be respected. The President should apologize immediately.”

If I remember, he’s done this before.

A local college closed seven years ago. It has proven hard to repurpose.
No fooling?
“The man accused of a disturbing assault at Cedar Point was arraigned on Wednesday morning.
Sandusky police said Marquez Williams approached a transgender woman from behind on the midway on May 25 and grabbed her and pulled down her clothing.
His bond was set at $8,000 at his arraignment in Sandusky Municipal Court at 9 a.m.
The court also added a theft charge, but did not clarify if it was connected to this case.
The public indecency charge was also dropped.
Police said the woman’s private parts were exposed to a crowd that included young children….
Williams faces charges of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, obstructing official business and now theft.”

Guess “resisting arrest” explains the photo.
Wait, what?
Lewis Hamilton of Ferrari finished second, vaulting 2 points ahead of Russell to second place in the championship, with partner Kim Kardashian watching from the paddock as he lifted the trophy.
THAT Kim Kardashian? Okay, he actually looks like a carnival freak; cause or effect?
“It’s like I had no rear brakes at all,” a frustrated Leclerc said in an interview broadcast on Sky F1. “Today I look like an idiot.”
The power unit regeneration system couldn’t have anything to do with that.
Only today?
Verstappen qualified second but stalled at the start, falling to last place as his car moved sluggishly. He was soon called into the pit lane to retire from the race.
“The engine just dropped dead,” Verstappen said.
Still a few teething problems with the new power units.
