New York is a-changin'.

TIL that radishes are also in the same family as the other brassicas. Not the same genus, but still the same family. That makes cabbages, mustards, turnips, radishes, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cauliflowers, kai lan, rapini, bok choy, collards, rutabagas, broccolini, kale, kohlrabi, romanesco...

The website ain't much to look at www.deskchairnow.com but the Yelp reviews make obvious that his business partner doesn't know he's out here writing checks that their company probably can't quite afford to cash. www.yelp.com/biz/house-2-...

If you want to know how things are going on the other side, Shawn Zahabian, who runs Nash Dean (a furniture company in California) and some other businesses, jumped into a group chat for Mamdani canvassers here in NYC and began spewing Islamophobic bile at the group of mostly-young volunteers.

Smol Houseguest update: Bean. You know, larger than a 2l soda bottle? That Bean? He's scared of the visitor. He's hiding from him. It took him until just now to touch paws with him. Little dude is upset that Rosie isn't intimidated when he fluffs his tail out, tho. She's just "bork?"

ICE shot an American citizen and food bank worker who tried to block them arresting an immigrant by pulling his car in front of them. After being released from hospital: "He is now facing charges for assault on a federal officer." www.calonews.com/featured-top...

Little Houseguest Kitten has no microchip. We have put out posters and left a notice with our apartment office and also put up "we found a cat" posts on local nextdoor pages. We will do everything we can to find his humans again, because they know best how to love him.

The broken thing about gender relations here is men who think they're entitled to women's bodies.

It's insane that culture creates expectations for young cis straight men that an ideal mate should be okay with being sexually objectified while also being their mom & placing their husband's needs over their own; then when these men can't find a partner it's the womens' fault for wanting autonomy.

THIS IS WHY I'M QUEER.

One of my most fun days on the internet ever was accidentally introducing this cover to a bunch of babies who were not alive in 1993.

I was frying up some beef for dinner when I hear the saddest cat wails outside my door. I told the wife, "I'm going to check, ok?" The moment I unlock and open the door, this little fellow runs in and jumps into my arms, and starts purring.

we've finally answered humanity's most ancient question, "What happens after you die?" the answer is JD Vance fucks your wife

“Why do they keep voting Republican?” Because in places like Texas, Republicans have made it virtually impossible for Democrats to win, so people don’t vote.

Steinbeck discussed this almost a century ago.

...what's the over/under on when the Pope shows up? How far up the hierarchy will the RCC take this, do you think, after Broadview turned back what the RCC views as the presence of Christ?

among all the "yass slay" responses, I think it's worth considering that glamour mag believes that trans ppl+allies are a bigger consensus than the gc dogma in the UK and that is a SIGN

I need every Boomer/Gen X mom to please understand that refusing to express any needs or preferences isn't super accommodating and helpful for people trying to make plans with them. It's actually the exact opposite of that!

Hey, strangers. Do not write an entire thread in my mentions because you're incapable of actually speaking to your children. I am not your therapist, but if I was your therapist I'd still tell you to stop and then charge you money. Thanks.

Don’t use ChatGPT, make friends with an academic librarian that can count your chat messages as “reference questions answered” on their daily statistics sheet

If you picked a random priest in America and went to ask them ‘will my Hindu wife go to hell for not being Christian’ the odds are decent the priest would say ‘we don’t really know who goes to hell. That’s up to God.’ Everything Vance says about his faith shows he never thinks about it at all.

Sad day for the folks who staked their reputations on lab leak conspiracy theories. www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

It is understudied how the people who were objectively right about things like civil rights, fighting apartheid, opposing the gulf war, getting vaccines are vilified for being annoying and the mainstream reaction is: gimme a break hippie 🙄

This is what police do. One of the first pieces of advice I got when I started doing criminal defense was to bring a camera with me when I picked up new clients in lockup so I could document any injuries the police caused during the arrest.

Apologies for the potato-grade photograph, but this is the best I could do to capture one of the tiny baby vampire crabs in my paludarium. If I open the door to photograph them they scuttle away and hide, so zooming from outside the glass is the only way I got this.

Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

I mean what do you think the "forbidden fruit" was, why there was the big kerfuffle about God finding Adam and Yves nekkid and why that got them kicked out of Eden, the "forbidden fruit" was buttsex obviously, it was Yves's absolute peach of a butt getting the Timothei Chalamet Special by Adam

Two professors at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign said they grew suspicious after receiving identical apologies from dozens of students they had accused of academic dishonesty. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/u...

Something has thoroughly rotted the pundit and aspiring pundit class in the US such that they find themselves inserting the word "but" after "Nazis are bad." When a man walks around calling his Nazi tattoo "my Totenkopf" rather than getting it removed, he is unfit for public office.

Like I don't want to find out how much of a Nazi he is AFTER we fucking put him in the Senate, and I don't think that's an unreasonable stance to take. I think the Democratic candidate should be Jill What's Her Name, who reportedly has zero Nazi tattoos.

here he is bragging about disobeying orders to do war crimes by constructing a secretive mini mortar for bombing buildings filled with innocents without command catching on

You want to democratize "going to therapy"? Make it "free" as in paid by socialized healthcare. You want to democratize "making art"? Give people money and free time to express themselves.

My father worked on an offshore wind farm. Woke up early every morning before dawn to wrangle the zephyrs out to pasture, then he had to milk the breezes. Sometimes one of the gales would get a little rowdy. He died of whale-lung at the age of forty two.

NEW EPISODE DAY! In this edition of NOT NOW BUT SOON, I talk to my friend Nasir Andisha, ambassador and permanent representative of Afghanistan to the United Nations, where he represents the people—not the current government—of a country that has been navigating disaster for decades.

In the midst of shite happening, there is good. There are advances as well as losses. Repairing the world, no matter how you view it, has always been the frustrating fiddly business of constantly keeping at it as opposed to one and done. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
