It is in fact racist to call an Arab with views you disagree with an antisemite. I know this will be a surprise to many but unless that person is actually saying something antisemitic, the Arab is not genetically predisposed to antisemitism
Anyone want to give me a couple hundred thousand to buy an apt for my cat and I? (Photo of said cat.)
How long after a teeth cleaning are we eating? I want to eat some hummus with carrots and celery but that feels disrespectful and illegal as hell.
I can find no article published in the New York Times in recent years about whether there is Muslim representation on any commission, panel, or agency in NYC's government.
Whatever the humidity in nyc is now it’s the level wherein all the cat hair sticks to me.
The great scholar & author @dianeravitch.bsky.social on why @mayor.nyc.gov should declare a moratorium on generative AI for NYC Schools @nycschools.bsky.social Choose kids, not for-profit corporations. Just say no.
Mass shooting reported at Seattle Center during the Bite of Seattle. Details are sketchy, but the Seattle Times has put up a live blog. Horrifying. We used to walk to the Bite every year from the Magnolia neighborhood. It's a huge, family-friendly event. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

I’d like to be on the pretzel council to determine which pretzels are good and which pretzels should fuck right off. There are a lot of bad pretzels out there that aren’t worth your time. I can help.
lots of reporters suddenly worried about slipping into communism but strangely f*cking quiet about slipping into fascism
Nobody is trying to make the USA communist, but a lot of people are trying to make the USA fascist.
Insane new research. Scientists gave asthma patients free electric stoves to replace their gas stoves, then checked to see if symptoms improved. Not only did symptoms improve, ditching gas was *better than medicine.* Details in today's newsletter: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/electric-s...
Researchers used electric stoves to treat asthma. It worked.
The latest evidence that gas is bad for your health.

Big news for nerds: The Department of City Planning updated their city planning children's book (original was put out by the LaGuardia administration in 1937) They are giving them away at upcoming Summer Streets events across the boroughs.
He just did one of those all limb stretches in with his eyes closed and fell back asleep. The thunders are rudely awaking him.
I tried to schedule a mammogram for Wednesday and then I didn’t know how to add on this prescribed ultrasound. So the chat lady rescheduled it for today. So now I’m here. 🍪🏆⭐️
Having an in person international or national event in America? Are you weighing factors like lodging and transport? Cool stuff to do? Here's a map to consider if any of your attendees may possibly, even remotely be LGBTQIA. And you care about them.
What is this doom scrolling. I’m over here looking at a cute puppy video, then it takes me to college dorm hacks, then some art teacher project ideas, all of a sudden I’m learning how to sew my own wardrobe - measuring myself, pattern making, motivational pep talks.. opposite of doom scrolling!
It's the Taylor Farms lettuce. The Taylor Farms outbreak. Earthbound Organics is Taylor Farms.
Taylor Farms also owns and runs Earthbound Organics, which is available in nearly every grocery store across the US
Isolation from others is fine but trapped inside due to weather twice in one month has me batty.
I want to start a business called OnlyPopsicles and it’ll be a meal service and everything is popsicles.
Driving around town with a box of Aura N95s giving them to every houseless person I see
Writing headlines is hard. You have to compress an article into a phrase or two. And you have to fit an exact and usually inconvenient line space. Two images below: What the NYT is running on line. (h/t @jaywillis.net for calling this one out.) And what would fit exactly the same space, by me.
Air quality forecast to get even worse tomorrow from wildfire smoke. Wear a mask, stay indoors, turn on air purifiers.
