A fish by any other name is...
A crazy looking “Frankenfish” with a lot of teeth that can “walk” on land and survive outside of water for stretches was caught on Long Island – and now officials are warning the monster can wreak havoc.
The Northern Snakehead fish was caught by a fisherman at Lily Pond in Suffolk County last week and now officials are crafting a plan of defense in case there are more of the sharp-toothed, tough-to-kill creatures still lurking locally, according to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
The Northern Snakehead fish are Native to Asia and a popular market fish for foodies, but the recent discovery of one of them on Long Island is a first, officials said.
The invasive predator likely made its way to the region through aquarium dumpings and both accidental and intentional releases from fish markets, O’Riordan explained.
She was crying yesterday - what happened?
As someone famously once said - 'The situation in California remains fluid'. I think it was timothy Leary...
Heated elections remain heavily contested and fluid. For example, the race for the next Los Angeles Mayor has seen incumbent Karen Bass defending her lead in a very close multi-candidate field.
Socialist Nithya Raman has overtaken Spencer Pratt for the first time in the race for second place in Los Angeles’ mayoral contest. New results released by Los Angeles County show Raman with 196,198 votes, or 27.12%, compared with Pratt’s 193,085 votes, or 26.69%.
The latest tally gives Raman a 3,113-vote lead after she trailed Pratt by 7,494 votes just one day earlier. Raman picked up 19,096 votes in Sunday’s count, more than double Pratt’s gain of 8,489 votes. The latest batch of ballots produced a 10,607-vote swing between the two candidates, erasing Pratt’s advantage and moving Raman into second place.
Political observers have long noted that ballots counted later in California elections often come from younger and more progressive voters, a demographic that has been a key source of support for Raman.

Vermont Socialist U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders made speeches throughout Maine Tuesday with Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner.
To me it was odd to see a Jew campaigning for a guy with a Nazi tattoo on his chest. This makes as much sense as Big Bird campaigning for Colonel Sanders.

A federal lawsuit seeks to halt the upcoming UFC fight card on the White House South Lawn in a mixed martial arts show timed for President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday and part of the celebration of the nation’s 250th anniversary.
The filing Saturday by the Public Integrity Project on behalf of two Virginia residents contends the Trump administration’s authorization of the June 14 event was unlawful. The lawsuit says such approval violated National Park Service regulations prohibiting sporting events on federal parklands, Congress did not consent to the towering arch overlooking the event space and no environmental review was conducted before the construction.
“This is fundamentally a private, commercial, corrupt use of our most sacred national monuments for private gain,” said Brendan Ballou, a lawyer for the plaintiffs. “And that is what is motivating this lawsuit.”

Are all 'influencers' jerkoffs - or just this guy...
The owners of Hollywood Thai Restaurant said in response to slower business they decided to take up a “mega influencer” on his offer and pay him to promote their place, but he ended up taking advantage of the small business, the message on Instagram read. It started when Christian Garcia reached out to the shop and offered to make a reel about the business for $575, the restaurant’s social media manager told LATaco.com.
The restaurant told Garcia they could not afford his price - that’s when they say he offered to do it for only $500. They said they paid the influencer, with 1.6 million followers, and comped his meal, but after several delays followed by numerous attempts to reach him, the Thai restaurant said it was clear Garcia took the money and free meal and left them the holding the tab.
One can only hope that news of this eat-and-run shit spreads to his followers and they all migrate to some place a bit more reputable. 1.6 million followers?
Fuck, I don't have half that number...
'The truth will set you free' - to collect unemplyment insurance...
I guess he just doesn't understand what the job title 'Editor' really means. In the real world, editors give assignments, assign reporters, and tell them how and what to report. 60 Minutes must exist in a vacuum where editors are puppets of the reporters, and used to edit out the shit that made people like police officers and DJT look good. That may have changed, and he just doesn't like the idea of truthful, accurate, unbiased reporting.
According to this interview he gave, Pelley, who was recently dismissed from the show, said CBS News’s editor-in-chief Bari Weiss had sent an email to his supervisor requesting changes be made soon before the airing of the segment in question. In the interview with the New York Times(of course) published on Sunday, the 68-year-old Pelley accused Weiss of injecting “falsehoods and bias” into programming. Pelley told the Times: “Two of the things in the email include, ‘Can we make the protesters look more violent?’
“Now, I’m paraphrasing. I don’t have the quote, but that’s what was communicated to me. And the other thing, Renee Good’s car. You need to describe her as driving toward the officer.”
What's a Camaro? Funny you ask...
Back in 1966, when General Motors introduced the now-legendary Camaro, curiosity was everywhere. Reporters couldn’t help but ask a simple question: *“What exactly is a Camaro?”
Chevrolet’s response? Pure confidence - with a touch of humor. “A small, vicious animal that eats Mustangs.”
And just like that, one of the most iconic rivalries in automotive history was born.
It wasn’t just a clever line - it was a bold statement. The Camaro wasn’t here to blend in; it was built to compete, to challenge, and to dominate. From that moment on, it became more than just a car - it became an attitude, a symbol of performance, and a direct answer to Ford’s Mustang.
Decades later, that rivalry still fuels passion among car enthusiasts around the world. It’s a reminder of a time when marketing had personality, competition was fierce, and a single sentence could define an era.
Sometimes, the best introductions aren’t technical - they’re unforgettable.

It really could happen - that's what's scary as hell about it...
Sure - it's a bit satirical, but with the way the left is going, it's not totally unrealistic to consider. The 2028 presidential election may feel far away, but the race to define it is already underway. On this week's Party Politics, Co-hosts Brandon Rottinghaus and Jeronimo Cortina broke down how Democrats are quietly shaping their next presidential strategy—long before a single vote is cast.
At the center of the conversation is the "invisible primary," the behind-the-scenes competition where candidates build support from donors, party elites, and voters. It's not just about who runs - it's about what the Democratic Party stands for moving forward.
Potential contenders are already signaling interest. Former Vice President Kamala Harris and California Governor Gavin Newsom appear to lead the early field, while figures like Pete Buttigieg, Gretchen Whitmer, and Josh Shapiro represent a second tier focused on broader voter appeal. A deeper bench of governors and national figures adds even more uncertainty to an already crowded picture.
But the bigger question isn't just the candidates - it's the strategy. Democrats face a familiar challenge: how to rebuild a winning coalition. That means re-engaging core voters like African Americans, energizing younger voters, and improving outreach to Latino communities - especially in states like Texas, where turnout and margins remain critical.
Messaging will be key. The hosts argue that while Democrats have struggled to communicate clearly in recent cycles, there are signs of a shift toward more direct, policy-focused language. Economic concerns - particularly affordability - are expected to dominate, cutting across ideological lines and resonating with a wide range of voters.

The fix kicks in in LaLaLand, and everyone can see it...
Spencer Pratt slammed California's absurdly slow ballot counting process as he continued to lose ground to leftist insurgent Nithya Raman. With Donald Trump's Department of Justice watching on, Pratt's lead over Raman had him looking a sure thing to face incumbent Karen Bass in a runoff. However, that lead is down to just one point Saturday evening after a ballot release that saw Raman garner more votes than not just Pratt but fellow Democrat Bass.
Pratt posted a meme of Russell Crowe doing complex math equations in the film A Beautiful Mind to X on Saturday night. 'Me trying to figure out how votes get counted in LA,' he captioned the post. Raman won 40.2 percent of all ballots counted on Saturday, adding 23,514 votes to her total.
Bass came in second place, with 19,312 votes, or 33 percent, while Pratt finished with just 10,336, or 17.7 percent. Bass now has a lengthy lead over Pratt, with 34.8 percent of the vote counted so far to the former reality TV star's 27.3 percent.
On average, it takes as long as 37 days to finalize a vote count in Los Angeles. They have an absurd system wherein every person gets a mail-in ballot. Of course it's gonna be fucked up. This election is no different - it's a prime example.
