Orwell's Animal Farm
I've had a copy on my shelf for probably 30 years and never read it.
I have an even earlier version of this, an old Signet mass-market paperback, at Amazon, George Orwell, Animal Farm.
The latest, cheaper Signet paperback is here. It's a great little read, heh.
Jennifer Delacruz Continued Hot Forecast
San Diego might not be getting the brunt of the high pressure, if it's any cooler than what we were having up here today.
Either way, here's the lovely Ms. Jennifer, for ABC News 10 San Diego:

'Alien: Covenant' is Rad! (VIDEO)
My son and I caught the early-bird (cheapskate) showing, at the Tustin Marketplace 10 theaters.
That was an extremely enjoyable movie. You feel like you're plopped right back into the original "Alien" with Ellen Ripley (Signorney Weaver). And you don't feel like you've missed too much even if you haven't seen "Prometheus" (which Ridley Scott now thinks was a mistake).
The L.A. Times review (linked at top) was ecstatic about it. So was my son.
Here's the review at the New York Times, below. And do yourself a favor: Go out and have some fun --- see this movie.
See, "Review: ‘Alien: Covenant’ Stays on Brand With Its Terror."
"Alien: Covenant," upholding its long-lived brand, parcels out carefully measured portions of awe, wonder and terror https://t.co/nwkSCHb97s— New York Times Arts (@nytimesarts) May 17, 2017
Louise Mensch Claims President Trump's About to Be Impeached
I don't know. It's like spraying machine gun fire: you're likely to hit something after a while. Maybe Louise is about to get lucky and prove her detractors wrong.

'The Conceptual Penis'
Truly a riot, and then sad at the same time.
A peer-review hoax along the lines of Alan Sokal's bogus "Transgressing the Boundaries: Toward a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity," which was published in the peer-reviewed journal, the Social Text, in 1996.

Ridley Scott's 'Alien: Covenant' (VIDEO)
The original "Aliens" is an all-time classic. I love watching that movie, heh.
At the Los Angeles Times, "Review: Ridley Scott's 'Alien: Covenant' is a sleek, suspenseful return to form."

Lawsuit Against Cal State San Marcos Challenges Left-Wing Bias (VIDEO)
At the San Deigo Union-Tribune, "Suit accuses Cal State San Marcos of liberal bias":
A student club is suing Cal State San Marcos, alleging the university spent nearly $300,000 in mandatory student fees this year to promote gay- and gender-equality issues, but refused a request for $500 to bring in an outside speaker with conservative views.More.
The campus chapter of Students for Life, a national group opposed to abortion, filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday alleging its members’ free-speech rights were violated, and the group was subjected to viewpoint discrimination. The suit also accuses the school of violating club members’ right to equal protection.
In the suit, the club argues the university’s student government rejected the funding request that would have been used to help bring in an out-of-state college professor for a presentation on “Abortion and Human Equality” this spring. The suit states that the student government told the campus club that it does not supply money for speakers fees.
However, the suit says, the student government — Associated Students Inc. — funds the LGBTQA Pride and Gender Equity centers with nearly $150,000 each a year, and that some of that money was spent this year on presentations like “Kink 101,” a talk by a local “sexologist.”
And watch, at ABC News 10 San Diego, "Lawsuit claims liberal bias at Cal State San Marcos."
