LinkSwarm for May 26, 2023

Friday, May 26th, 2023

More woke going broke, San Francisco is (still) a shithole, and Baggage Claim Fight Club. It’s the Friday LinkSwarm!


  • “FBI Concerned Jan. 6 Footage Would Expose Undercover Agents, Informants.” You don’t say.
  • “Layoffs are hitting HR and DEI teams at a disproportionately high rate.” Couldn’t happen to a nicer profession. (Hat tip: Instapundit.)
  • Target loses $9 billion in market cap for trying to tranny dress toddlers. I would boycott them over that, but I was already boycotting them over the tranny bathrooms.
  • “Innocent Multi-Billion Dollar Corporation Ruthlessly Attacked By People Not Giving Them Money.”
  • Bud Light sales drop another 25%.
  • Soros-backed Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price lets man off with no jail time despite him setting a man on fire with a blowtorch. (Hat tip: Instapundit.)
  • “‘There’s Poop Everywhere’: San Francisco’s Office District Not Only A Ghost Town, It’s Also Covered In Sh*t.”

    Everyone knows that San Francisco is the nation’s largest public toilet – requiring the city to employ six-figure ‘poop patrol’ cleanup team, however a new report from the city Controller’s Office really puts things in poo-spective.

    For starters, feces were found far more often in commercial sectors, covering “approximately 50% of street segments in Key Commercial Areas and 30% in the Citywide survey,” second only to broken glass as can be seen in the ‘illegal dumping’ section.

    If you’re wondering about the city’s fecal methodology, look no further than a footnote on page 43;

    Feces also includes bags filled with feces that are not inside trash receptacles. Feces that are spread or smeared on the street, sidewalk, or other objects along the evaluation route are counted. Stains that appear to be related to feces but have been cleaned are not counted. Bird droppings are excluded.

    As far as where most of the poo is found, Nob Hill takes the top spot, followed by the Tenderloin and The Mission districts.

  • “After California health authorities in 2014 imposed a mandate requiring requiring churches to provide elective abortion coverage to its employees, four churches sued, and after a long court battle, have now won a $1.4 million settlement.” (Hat tip: Sarah Hoyt at Instapundit.)
  • “The University of Texas at Austin spends more than $13 million on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) salaries for close to 200 jobs.”
  • Cycling bans men from women’s competition. Another sentence that shouldn’t have to be written…
  • FDA bans farmers from caring for their own animals with antibiotics. Man, it sure seems like our elites are trying to destroy the food supply… (Hat tip: Stephen Green at Instapundit.)
  • The DeSantis campaign raised $8.2 million raised within 24 hours of announcing his presidential run.
  • In a classic case of bad timing, Tim Scott also announced that he’s running for president. I don’t see him making much headway against Trump or DeSantis, but he’s a serious veepstakes contender.
  • C. Boyden Gray, RIP. Among his most important tasks was spearheading the campaign for Clarence Thomas’ nomination to the Supreme Court.
  • Sudden Putin Death Syndrome strikes again.
  • It’s weird to be on the same side of an issue as Taco Bell. Namely that no one should be able to trademark “Taco Tuesday.”
  • Citing air-worthiness concerns, the FAA grounds the…B-17? Good to know they’re finally working through that 1946 backlog… (Hat tip: Dwight.)
  • The first rule of baggage claim fight club is you don’t talk about baggage claim fight club. The second rule of baggage claim fight club is that the blue zone is for loading and unloading only.
  • What is it like to cross the Darien Gap by car? A green hell.
  • A really amazing BattleBots match.
  • “Dodgers Summon Satan To Throw Out First Pitch At Pride Night.”
