this is the last paragraph. nonsensical, saccharine, and dull all at once. he sounds like a new-grad who moved to NY two months ago
The other day, I communed with a stranger's baby on the subway. With smiles and glances and wriggling fingers, we had about as deep a conversation as I've had in a while. Our exchange wasn't cute. It was searching, anxious, tentatively delighted, a bit confused. It was human. Our different skin shades and our proximity on a rumbling train car was also very New York. So the melting pot was a bad metaphor. The subsequent multicultural salad-bowl image had some design flaws too. Get over it. Maybe we're all just on an uptown local. My family's been catching them for nearly a century, and I welcome each new rider. We can make room. Take off your fucking backpack and pay the fare, if you can I'm looking at you, sharp-suited, briefcase-carrying dickhead who slithered over the turnstile shield at Cathedral Parkway last Tuesday). But the bottom line is that if you are on the subway, you are not the enemy, even if you are an asshole. Call it the mass-transit view. Broadway, after all, also bends.

to reference another part of this blog post: I do sometimes just rotate "feed USAID into the wood chipper" in my mind.

who was that for? why were they happy? when did Elon choose them?

actually I read Good Material (love reading books before I gift them to people) and it's not good enough for my secret santa. It was fun to read, but she deserves richer fare
