My friend took this photo. Why - WHY - is anyone sitting around outside in this horrendous air? People have lost all connection to reality and common sense responses to danger.

    you may have noticed NYC people have a thing where whatever phenomenon happens to them is automatically completely unique and inscrutably world shattering.

    big snow in Maine? who cares. big snow in Manhattan? literally the end of the world, snowmageddon!!

    hurricane in Mississippi? yawn. hurricane in New York? 6 movies, 35 very special TV show episodes, God has abandoned civilization.

    wildfire smoke in western new Mexico? what's a New Mexico? wildfire smoke among the NY skyline? all the legions of hell are here.

    it's the convenience store/ bodega thing all over again.
