Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden says that since Dec. 1, when HB10 took effect, ICE has asked him to hold 83 people for an extra 2 days. The cost to his office was $30,000, and ICE picked not one person up, he says. #ncpol www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

Subsidized $1,250 2BR in the Bronx – a unit many families would kill for – has been vacant since September 2023, because of the city’s byzantine listing rules. Stories like this make you really cynical about the city’s capacity to do anything good for New Yorkers. gothamist.com/news/a-1250-...

i put a teaspoon of a moderately concentrated olive tapenade into a big pot of chili that had the rest of the kitchen sink (but traditional chili stuff), and it became the strongest flavor until it was cooked way down. pretty crazy imo

When right-wingers mock childless singles, they mostly tar female graduates. But this isn't supported by data. By 30, graduates tend to couple up & cohabit. Middle-aged singles are primarily those with only high school education. Data from Finland, but true elsewhere. 🇫🇮 t.co/oqGHuuJW56
