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.

I'll go against the consensus and say that the show is disappointing. It's also pretty clear that they wanted to make Monsieur Marlowe, but couldn't get the rights and had to scramble. Owen, however, is excellent.

This is tangential to the topic at hand, but that certificate was issued by the hospital where you were born. The DMV didn't take it because they can't verify hospital records. They are obliged, for very good reasons, to take only the birth record issued by (in this case) the State of Nebraska.

Exactly. It's a convenient medium of exchange— not a scorecard, not a mark of virtue or merit. Just because the ghouls digging into the ribcage of the body politic can't show anything else for themselves doesn't mean we all have to pretend they're right to be the way they are.
