Big Game Hunter Crushed to Death by Falling Elephant in Zimbabwe
The elephant was wounded. Once shot, it had apparently grabbed the hunter by its trunk, then falling dead, crushed the guy under its weight. Talk about taking 'em out with you, heh.
That was some righteous karma at the end there.
At the Telegraph U.K., via Memeorandum, "South African hunter crushed to death by elephant."
On Twitter, one woman writes, "Big game hunter crushed to death under an elephant he's just shot? Good."
Actually, I wish they weren't hunting big game myself, but it's not illegal. And I wouldn't wish the man killed. I get the karmic justice, but it's still a sad loss of human life.

Killing C.I.A. Informants, China Crippled U.S. Spying Operations
This is really shocking piece, considering how nonchalant everybody is about spying and intelligence these days. All this hacking and leaking and political payback can get you killed. A lot of people are getting killed.

Idiot Leftist Trying to Save the Internet
It's Evan "Ev" Williams, one of the founders of both Blogger and Twitter, and the founder of Medium. He apologized for giving Donald Trump a platform (on Twitter), and contributing to the real estate mogul's election. He wishes only views he shares could be posted on his platforms, like the idiot loser leftist he is.

Danielle Gersh's Early Summer Blazing Hot Forecast
As I was saying at my earlier entry, "Jennifer Delacruz Continued Hot Forecast," it wasn't quite as hot yesterday in San Diego. We were in record-breaking territory in Los Angeles and Orange Counties, and more heat is expected today.
Here's the lovely Ms. Danielle with the forecast. Stay cool, people!

Orwell's Animal Farm
I just read it.
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
It's not just "warm." It's freakin' blazing hot! It was pushing 90 in the O.C. today, if not higher.
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)
Following-up, "Ridley Scott's 'Alien: Covenant' (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."

'The Conceptual Penis'
Oh boy.
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.

Lawsuit Against Cal State San Marcos Challenges Left-Wing Bias (VIDEO)
I hope this is a the beginning of a trend and we see lots more of these lawsuits.
At the San Deigo Union-Tribune, "Suit accuses Cal State San Marcos of liberal bias":
And watch, at ABC News 10 San Diego, "Lawsuit claims liberal bias at Cal State San Marcos."
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.”

Leftist Conspiracy Theories Flourishing in the Age of Trump
I don't usually post Vox articles, but this one's talking about Louise Mensch, who I used to consider a friend on Twitter. She invited me to write at Heat Street, where's she's the editor-in-chief. But she writes at Patribotics blog, publishing all her theories and "investigations" into Russian meddling. She's acquired the reputation as a nutjob. It's kind of sad.
In any case, at Vox, "Democrats are falling for fake news about Russia: Why liberal conspiracy theories are flourishing in the age of Trump."
