Saul Zabar, Smoked Fish Czar of Upper West Side, Dies at 97

I grew up going to Zabar's. So many of my childhood memories center around the best lox in NYC (which is saying something). With Saul Zabar's passing today, the Upper West Side has lost a legend who turned his parent's humble store into a culinary institution.

The Fat Satan Plan:

Create a problem.

Blame the problem on someone else.

Threaten to correct the problem with the worst solution possible.

Blame the solution on someone else.

Make the proem worse with your solution.

Blame someone else.

Never fix the problem.

The thing that bothers me so much is not the β€œwe have to enforce our borders and laws.” We do.

It’s the giddy joy and celebration they have at the misery of people far less fortunate.

Arizona attorney general alleges Zillow, Redfin deal is unfair, will raise rents Arizona joined other states alleging a deal between the real estate giants would allow Zillow to charge landlords more money to advertise.

I’m proud to join 4 other states to stop Zillow and Redfin’s anticompetitive agreement. We have strong antitrust laws that allow us to protective our competitive, free, and fair economy, and we need to enforce them.

Very slender, long-legged, narrow winged moth, facing north, perched on the edge of a knothole in a wooden fence. Moth’s abdomen is curled over its back to meet its head, like a scorpon’s tail. Overall color is brown, with white lines and darker brown ribbons down the wings.

What a moth! Eggplant Leafroller, Lineodes integra. On our backyard fence. Leavenworth, Kansas, USA, September 29, 2025. It’s facing north, abdomen curled back to nearly reach its face. Totally convincing of a wisp of dry grass.
