there are three skills that are unique to human beings alone of all life that explain our species’ dominance over the planet, and no, “language” and “tools” aren’t in them. they are
- farming
- cooking
- baseball
and to see people reject some or all of them in the modern era is beyond insulting

I would have said White was the favorite but not by *this* much

Major cities should have ceremonies akin to the US citizenship where you can become an "official" resident
Not even a horror movie but seeing Apollo 13 as a kid gave me a lifelong fear of space
You have to
- formally renounce loyalty to any other city (but you can still be a dual resident/citizen and no one cares)
- complete a multiple choice test of basic trivia about a city (e.g., "how many buroughs in NYC")
- eat a local delicacy
Does passing this give you any rights or benefits? No, you just get a card certifying you're an official Angeleno/New Yorker/Washingtonian
I would retire from politics forever if I was Brooke Pinto
