  "textContent": "I missed Pook-Emu Bee links yesterday and am late today, but we can hardly let a backlog grow… so let us link today.\n\nA black Cybertruck seen parked in Brooklyn Heights. I took this photo on June 18, 2026.\n\n1. Peeved NYC students, teachers, parents beg mayor to cancel school for Knicks parade: ‘This is once in a lifetime’ (Asia Grace for the New York Post. June 18, 2026.)\n\n> ‘It’s upsetting because, obviously, we’ve been waiting for this moment a long time,’ … a Brooklyn public school student, exclusively told The Post. ‘The parade is really important, and everyone should be able to experience it.’\n\nIs it possible for a 12-year old to have “been waiting for this moment for a long time”?\n\n2. Who Would Take Iran’s Uranium? (RFE/RL, via OilPrice.com. June 18, 2026.)\n\nLet’s not get ahead of ourselves.\n\n3. Councils bans England flags on public property during World Cup (Anne-Laurie Dufael for Brussels Signal. June 18, 2026.)\n\n> ‘The irony of this becomes clear when we realise that St George himself was a migrant from what is now Turkey to Palestine,’ [Bristol City Council leader Tony Dyer] added.\n\nI had been thinking earlier in the article that these rules would probably not be enforced against other flags. My suspicions were not ameliorated by the conclusion.\n\n4. UFC Freedom 250 (John Hinderaker for Power Line. June 15, 2026.)\n\n> I am a boxing fan, but not an MMA fan. To me, MMA is more a gladiatorial spectacle than a legitimate sport.\n\nMMA is definitely a “legitimate sport” and I respect the practitioners, but I too like boxing and do not like the MMA for reasons similar to those noted by Mr. Hinderaker. With that being said, I haven’t watched much boxing since ditching cable (along with the premium channels that aired the best fights) 11-12 years ago. I should catch up on YouTube.\n\n5. Russia Imposes Restrictions on Acquisition of Citizenship Except for Belarusians (Anzhelika Kalchenko for Militarnyi. November 10, 2025.)\n\nI deal with many cases involving individuals who moved from former USSR countries to Russia and voluntarily acquired Russian citizenship (no Belarusians, however). If that puzzles you… remember it’s all relative. Of course, they end up here applying for asylum regardless.\n\n6. DeMarcus Cousins explains how John Calipari made him declare for the NBA Draft (Bruno Rukavina for Basketball Network. February 5, 2025.)\n\n> _‘And Cal is like, look, dude, if you want to take care of my family, you’re going to stay. If you want to take care of yours, you’re out of here. It’s real,’_ he said._‘That’s all I needed to hear. You know what I mean? So real.’_\n\nThat was good advice from Coach Calipari given that Mr. Cousins was a high draft pick and had a good NBA career (including a few All Star appearances) before being derailed by injuries.\n\n7. ID Verification for P*rn Sites Can be Okay (nephitejnf [PeerTube video]. June 15, 2026.)\n\nI concur, and he kicks around some interesting-sounding solutions (albeit I am not concerned about making that onerous).\n\nYou can reply to this article from your own site by sending a Webmention.",
