NY Post | 08/11/2026 | Lydia Moynihan

A new land speed record was set today in Utah by British driver Andy Green, driving a specially designed JCB Hydromax car, which reached 406.320 miles per hour. …

The driver is a former Royal Air Force fighter pilot who is the only person to have broken the sound barrier on land, which he did when setting the overall land speed record, reaching 763 mph in a car powered by twin jet engines in 1997.

Gen Z women say they’ve had enough financially supporting — and parenting — their boyfriends
AP Moneywise via Yahoo | August 8, 2025 | Victoria Vesovski

Naomi is a 24 year old, lives on Manhattan’s Upper East Side and earns six figures working two retail jobs. Her boyfriend, meanwhile, spent much of his time at her apartment lying in bed and scrolling through Instagram Reels.

Naomi helped him fix his résumé, pushed him to apply for jobs and, while he figured out his next move, picked up the tab for nearly everything. But the money was only part of what bothered her. Naomi told The Cut that his lack of income seemed to double as an excuse to put little effort into the relationship, too. Romance, after all, does not require a six-figure salary.

“If you can’t afford something, write me a love letter,” she told The Cut. “He could have literally made me Kraft mac and cheese.”

Oh, if you’re too shy, I’ll begin:

Turn-ons: Some things.

Turn-offs: Other [usually opposite] things.

Turn-ons: Long walks on a beach I own.

Turn-offs: The walk back to the car, which always seems longer.

Turn-ons: Self-referential jokes.

Turn-offs: tipographical errors.

NY Post | 8-3-26 | Aurielle Weiss

Sleep under the stars as camping in Central Park starts on August 14.

The NYC Parks Department has just rolled out a lottery for family camping all around New York City, where lucky winners may camp overnight with its Urban Park Rangers as their hosts and guides. From August 8 until September 18, folks can post up for some good ‘ol family-friendly camping programs.

Some parks will feature Ranger-led nighttime hikes through the woods, storytelling and s’mores. The parks department will provide the tents and campers will only need to bring sleeping bags and bedding.

“… need to bring sleeping bags and bedding” — also known as “body bags.”

California wineries forced to torch vineyards in latest drastic move for crippled industry
NY Post | 7/31/26 | Brian Gallagher

California’s wine industry has gotten so desperate that one vineyard owner torched his own vines after deciding they were worth more as ashes than grapes. …

“There’s literally no way for me to make money,” the 57-year-old Smith said.

Wine sales have reached a low point not seen in over two decades, which is largely due to American’s recent aversion to alcohol in general.

Pack of coyotes takes over abandoned West Hollywood complex, locals plead for help as apex predators roam streets
NY Post | July 28, 2026 | Katie Jerkovich

A pack of coyotes have moved into an abandoned West Hollywood condo complex, forcing locals to live in fear . . . 

After realizing that the Land Court has exclusive, original jurisdiction over the registration of title to real property and over all matters and disputes concerning such title subsequent to registration, the coyotes bit them in the leg. This is called “packing” the court.  Registration of title occurs when the Land Court, after having jumped on top of a filing cabinet to avoid further attacks, has the title exhaustively searched by a court-appointed title examiner in a protective suit, and after due process is afforded to all interested parties, reviews and then adjudicates and decrees the state of the title. Thereafter the current state of the title, as it is sequentially updated by registration of future transactions, is embodied in a certificate of title which not only evidences title, but is in fact the guarantee of title, totally surrounding unsuspecting claimants, subject only to the exceptions provided by statute, threats of canine distemper and/or rabies, and matters of federal law. Subsequent owners of the registered land will be issued numbered certificates (which are useless) describing the coy-ownership of the property and noting any encumbrances (such as mortgages, claws, or slavering drool) or rights affecting the property. The initial decree of registration and the subsequent certificate of title are in rem, that is, against the whole world, and will be entirely devoured. 

The invasion of Ceuta must be the final nail in the coffin of globalism
Spiked| 31 July 2026 | Brendan O’Neill

Can we say ‘invasion’ now? What other word is there for the rough intrusion of tens of thousands of young men into the sovereign territory of a foreign nation? Surely not even the sappiest leftist in his tattered keffiyeh and ‘Refugees Welcome’ t-shirt would describe the thuggish gatecrashing of an independent nation as ‘asylum seeking’? That might be the one and only upside to the extraordinary events in Ceuta yesterday: the death, at last, of euphemism. The impossibility of any longer dressing up the West’s suicidal abandonment of its borders as ‘kindness’.

The scenes from the Spanish enclave at the tip of North Africa are staggering. An estimated 49,000 people, mostly Moroccans, mostly men, gleefully intruded upon the territory of the Spanish kingdom. That’s around the same number of people who illegally sail to Britain in a year. 

Q: Why didn’t Hitler just send his men unarmed (unarmored) to seek asylum in Stalingrad until they were Stalingrad?

Q: Will a circuit court judge in the U.S. order that absentee ballots be counted from these new Spaniards, who want to become new Americans? 

Q: How do you pronounce Ceuta?

.

Things fall apart; the Ceuta cannot hold.

.

Ceuta the action to the word, the word to the action.
