I really enjoy EB White's take on New York and New Yorkers.
An excerpt from EB White's Here is New York
There are roughly three New Yorks there is first the New York of the man or woman who was born here who takes the city for granted and accepts its size and its turbulence is natural and inevitable second there is the New York of the commuter the city that is devoured by locusts each day and spat out each night third there is the New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something of these three trembling cities the greatest is the last the city of final destination the city that is a goal it is this third city that accounts for New York's high-strung disposition it's poetical deportment it's a dedication to the arts and it's incomparable achievements commuters give the city its title restlessness natives give it solidity and continuity but the settlers give it passion and whether it is a farmer arriving from Italy to set up a small grocery store in a slum or a young girl arriving from a small town in Mississippi to escape the indignity of being observed by her neighbors or a boy arriving from the corn belt with a manuscript in his suitcase and a pain in his heart it makes no difference each embraces New York with the intense excitement of first love each absorbs New York with fresh eyes of an adventurer each generates heat and light to dwarf the consolidated Edison company

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.

I suggest that Gen Z check out the show which premiered as the lead-in to The X-Files, instead. It's more fun and it might inspire them to start thinking optimistically about the future instead of yearning for a past that never was.

Happy International Women's Day. 🏴
A newspaper headline from over a century ago, reading:

WOMEN ANARCHISTS HAVE BECOME
THE TERROR OF WORLDS POLICE

Their Daring Crimes Are Said to Have Out-
stripped the Deeds of Brothers of the Red

the Federation itself as a concept is so funny because the founding members are

the Vulcans, who have been friends with humanity for years but don't seem to actually like them all that much, instead regarding them with a sort of perverse fascination usually reserved for virology labs

the Andorians, who were fighting the Vulcans for like a hundred years

the Tellarites, who don't like any of these people and whose cultural trait is arguing, and

humans, whom nobody knew existed until last century when they shot themselves into space on a heavily modified nuke, invented world peace and won a fight with the nearest imperial superpower

like imagine you're the Romulan Empire and those weird monkeys who've barely figured out interstellar travel show up on your doorstep in the equivalent of a shipping container with missiles strapped to it, kick your ass in front of everybody, and then start a friendship club with 3 of your neighbors who all hated each others' guys until like a year ago. now I understand why every Romulan on the show is so angry

there’s a book I like, Zelazny’s A Night In The Lonesome October, that I wish more people had read because it’s got a scene I think about often. it probably needs more setup than this, but the basic frame is that some ~people are trying to summon ~Cthulhu and other ~people are trying to stop them
Then the moon went out. We all looked upward as a dark shape covered it, descending, rushing toward us. Morris shrieked shrilly as it fell, changing shape as if dark veils swam about it. And then the moon shone again, and the piece of midnight sky which had fallen came to earth beside Jack, and I saw that vision-twisting transformation of which Graymalk had spoken, here, there, a twist, a swirl, a dark bending, and the Count stood at Jack's side, smiling a totally evil smile. He laid his left hand, the dark ring visible upon it, upon Jack's right shoulder.
"I stand with him," he said, "to close you out."
Vicar Roberts stared at him and licked his lips.
"I would think one of your sort more inclined to our view in this matter," the vicar stated.
"I like the world just the way it is," said the Count. "Pray, let us begin."

Americans are susceptible to conspiracy theories about housing because we have very little experience with genuine shortages driving up the prices of essential goods and LOTS of experience with Enron-style corporate market manipulation; but we actually just haven't built enough homes for 40 years.
