~ we don’t like to write about new york city, as plenty of myopic sycophants already have covered that task, but we can’t miss an opportunity to scoff when it is down. ‘only in new york’, is a tired lie, that nonetheless actually and unbelievably passes the lips of people standing in its streets, but let’s hope they appreciate the social and physical framework they have built and named a city where one homeless person trying to stay warm can cripple a transportation system for over 500,000 people for the next five years. well done, friend; we’d like to buy you some absolute bagels.

they ain’t got black russians at absolut; you’ll have to peep out the bagel factory in west los angeles for them. if you must go to new york, i recommend the rye.

i was going to make a crack about this not happening in l.a., but it looks like a train derailed and killed 10 people there today. i’m surprised that many people were on the train.
