So there are a couple of stray* kittens in our yard** and things have gotten very cute *yes that is a normal sized mason jar; I can’t overstate how tiny this kitten is **we’re planning on TNR, we just have to figure out the logistics

Interesting to posit this question in the lede when the answer a) is probably not and b) isn’t particularly relevant to the story

Whether or not a Florida company’s “male sexual enhancement dietary supplements” work or not, the seller recalled them because the FDA’s problem with them could have a deadly downside

What an insane way to describe long-overdue upgrades to a 60-year-old public housing complex

“California set to spend $266.6M to renovate Tupac's childhood home”

“Golden Gate Village in Marin City has long been plagued by complaints of crumbling conditions, rodents, mold and an outdated electrical system.
Now the 60-year-old public housing complex is getting a massive facelift, with the first phase of a three-part overhaul already underway.”

It’s funny, I just happened to mention this in my newsletter today—the first and only time BMI has come up

“For most of my life, I was chronically underweight. At first, there was no real reason for it—I was just a skinny kid. Later, I discovered I had an undiagnosed colon issue and needed surgeries, all of which led to dropping more weight and a significant change in diet. Until recently, the only time I had a “normal” Body Mass Index* was after I graduated college, when I started drinking roughly a fifth of vodka every day.
Drinking that much every day boosted my caloric intake faster than eating ever could. Food was not terribly important to me; drinking was the most important thing in my life. Though they didn’t know the reason for the change, people who had been worried about my perpetual stick-thinness suddenly rushed to tell me how good I looked. How I finally looked “healthy.”

Hey I have an idea, why don’t we let the voters decide what is or isn’t “too far left,” you actual losers

““Tuesday's primaries represented a major political gamble for the 34-year-old mayor, whose strength is surging, and a potential headache for Democratic leaders, who fear that the Mamdani and his loyalists may push the party too far left ahead of November's midterm elections — when voters across the nation will decide which party controls Congress for the last two years of Trump’s final term.”
