SHOPPERS ENTERING Petqua, a 20-year-old UWS pet shop, are greeted by the resident parrot, Panama. In back, they'll find George the tortoise eating mixed greens. In between, "it has the most extensive variety of things," says animal trainer Lydia DesRoche, owner of a parrot, Guillermo; a dog, Grace; and three bunnies, Asaka, Ti Moune, and Armand. In addition to the usual supplies, Petqua stocks crickets and roaches to feed geckos, cages for parakeets, hay for rabbits, and aquariums filled with red-eyed tree frogs and royal pleco fish. And in the rare case its shelves come up short, Sam and Ed, who run the store, step in. "Whenever I've said, 'Oh, I'd like to try this, they'll order it," DesRoche says. "Like when the Nina Ottosson dog puzzles came out, they were like, 'Oh, we'll get them.' Whatever I want them to get, they get."

Drowning in Slop - A thriving underground economy is clogging the internet with AI garbage-and it's only going to get worse.
SLOP started seeping into Neil Clarke's life in late 2022. Something strange was happening at Clarkesworld, the magazine. Clarke had founded in 2006 and built into a pillar of the world of speculative fiction. Submissions were increasing rapidly, but “there was something off about them,” he told me recently. He summarized a typical example: “Usually, it begins with the phrase ‘In the year 2250-something’ and then it goes on to say the Earth’s environment is in collapse and there are only three scientists who can save us. Then it describes them in great detail, each one with its own paragraph. And then—they’ve solved it! You know, it skips a major plot element, and the final scene is a celebration out of the ending of Star Wars.” Clarke said he had received “dozens of this story in various incarnations.”
The City Politic- The Other Eric Adams Scandal The NYPD shot a fare evader, a cop, and two bystanders. He defends it.
On Sunday, September 15, Derell Mickles hopped a turnstile, got asked to leave by cops, then entered the subway again ten minutes later through an emergency exit. This was at the Sutter Avenue L station, out by his mother's house, five stops from the end of the line. Police said they noticed he was holding a folded knife. They followed him up the stairs to the elevated train, asking him 38 times to drop the weapon.
