Yeah I'm sure it's great to be a new Yorker right now. Ooh look at me my mayor is Zohran Mamdani. Ooh I have public transit and live in one of the most culturally & historically important cities in the world. Karl Anthony towns plays on my team & we're going to the NBA finals.
I am grieved by the coarsening and cheapening of the world. It is everywhere, in our language, in our clothing, in our cities, in our manners. Please resist it, at every turn, with the ancient warrior spirit of courtesy--living fully, graciously, and with strong heart.
