Welcome to another Friday LinkSwarm! We’re just weeks away from The Burning Time giving way to The Season of Football.
Some links:
Here’s one forecast that has Trump and Clinton tied.
“Always correct election forecast model predicts Trump win, 51%-48%.” (Hat tip: Instapundit.)
Average ObamaCare premiums surge 24% for 2017.
Well, not in Illinois. There, they’re going up as much as 90%.
In case you missed it last week, Pennsylvania’s Democratic attorney general Kathleen Kane resigned after being convicted of nine counts of perjury and obstruction of justice.
Silicon Valley CEO Gurbaksh Chahal allegedly hit his girlfriend 117 tiems, but was sentenced to probation. Oh, and he gives his political donations exclusively to Democrats. Why do so many Democrats commit violence against women?
George Soros hit up for money to sell the Iran deal.
Soros also celebrated the European refugee crisis being the new normal.
Obama wants to ban smoking in public housing. Hey, if you think we have riots now… (Hat tip: Ace of Spades HQ.)
Massachusetts takes rent-seeking to the next level, taxing ride-sharing services to subsidize taxis. Next up: Taxing cars to subsidize railroads and horses.
Germany in August.
July in the U.S. was one of the least hot months ever. Maybe not in Austin, but elsewhere…
Speaking of which, the 1936 heat wave must have been a nightmare to live with without air conditioning. It hit 121°F in North Dakota…
At one level, this piece is a good look at Gawker’s demise. At another, it’s shows New York media professionals at their whiny, narcissistic, incestuous, entitled worst. “It’s an inevitable consequence of living in today’s New York: Youthful anxiety and generational angst about having been completely cheated out of ownership of Manhattan, and only sporadically gaining it in Brooklyn and Queens, has fostered a bloodlust for the heads of the douchebags who stole the city.” Waaaah, the world owes me Manhattan real estate because I think I’m so much cooler than people who can actually afford it!
“NPR Deletes Comments, Says Commenters Are Too Old And Male.”
Google fiber hits reality: “Gee, wiring up that last mile is sure expensive! Why didn’t anyone tell us?”
Researchers say they can diagnose clinical depression from Instagram feeds. If they ever get to Tumblr, there won’t be enough Prozac left in the world…
“DNC Creates ‘Cybersecurity Board’ Without Any Cybersecurity Experts.”
Federal judge puts kibosh on Obama’s tranny bathroom plans.
What Canada needs is strict crossbow control laws. (Hat tip: Dwight.)
The Silence of the Jews in advance of the slow Islamicization of Sweden.
I know that when I think of Jewish history, I naturally think of Yoko Ono. And when I think of people who need Kickstarter to get funding, Yoko is way up there…
The tragic history of RC Cola. Too bad Diet RC tastes like crap. (That goes for that crappy offbrand Maine soda as well.)
Important Safety Tip: Don’t have sex on a neighbor’s roof, naked and high on meth.
I’m not going to pony up $200+ to attend the Texas Tribune Festival, and I doubt I could finagle a press badge. But Phil Collins being there does indeed make it more tempting, if only I could be sure I could get all my old Genesis albums signed…
Abandoned Olympic venues from around the world. (Hat tip: Ace of Spades HQ.)
This woman doesn’t have issues, she has a lifetime subscription and bound volumes.
And then there was one.
