I find literally everything interesting. Worried about Lovecraftian parochialism. Massive DaDa issues.

Ok. I officially found the most badass hat. It's a mask from a West African secret society known as the Ekpe. This is secret societies done *right*!

@sentdefender @JayneZirkle We have like a million of them. Our whole schtick is we are an absurdly multicultural city. The Puerto Rican Day parade has its own memeplex in New Yorker humor.

Zohran Mamdani just became the first NYC mayor in 61 years to skip the Israel Day Parade. Every mayor since 1964 showed up. Mamdani won’t stand with Jewish New Yorkers.

@cybelethebest If it’s a high priority for your household, then it’ll be a high priority in your budget. You get what you pay for.

I hate that a lot of the advice for coping with food costs comes down to lowering standards more and more. I get it, but I hate it. “Just eat more discounted Dollar Tree mystery meat past its sell-by date!” I’m trying to feed my babies organic blueberries and grass-fed beef over here, you can judge me all you’d like for that but good quality nutrition is a very high priority for my household.

young americans arent demanding a $30 lunch everyday. theyre demanding dignity. you shouldnt have to eat hard tack on white bread to afford to live, youre an american. if a shriveled old goblin tells you to be happy with less, they are your enemy, and they are an enemy of america

@westsiderag We used to do these facade inspections by cordoning off the sidewalk in front of the building and hiring two workers to make sure pedestrians kept off. We could now use drones to do parts of facade inspections. The sidewalk sheds are just one of a thousand NYC rackets.

Scaffolding is one of my biggest daily gripes The most painful effect is it narrows the sidewalks, which exacerbates the collapse of pedestrian etiquette that has plagued us since COVID Moreover, it blocks light and views, which is a shame for a neighborhood for a which is distinguished by its beauty It’s a catastrophe for flaneurs, aimless wanders for serenity are impossible, they’re stressful, ever-conscious ordeals While I am pleased and grateful WSR is reporting on this (and shuttered shops), I am disheartened the conclusion is we’re stuck with it

There are 17,000 buildings that fall under the city’s facade inspection program. westsiderag.com/2026/05/21/uws…

A simple theory: people didn't move towards experiences over luxury status goods because they got more enlightened; the shift happened because of Instagram, which turned ephemeral experiences into durable status signals
LindyMan@PaulSkallas

Money people always had one advantage over pleasure people, numbers. You can show money. You can’t show experience. So they could always say you wasted your life. Then cameras and Instagram arrived. Now experience has reciepts. Photos became currency. You can show them and say here look I didn't waste anything. And the public ended up recognizing it.

@y_ury_ @bryan_caplan Yeah, but more likely because their families and neighborhoods are demographically homogeneous - everyone they speak to sounds like that - than because they are first gen immigrants (but at most their parents were).
