@rchusid.bsky.social This used to be my belief as well; however, think the time has come for us to recognize that waiting for these people to act would be a dereliction of our own agency as human beings who have a stake in the fate of civilization.

@thorbenson.bsky.social I would expect nothing less than slop from the NYP. A pair of basic New Balance sneakers at Nordstrom is $200, or you can maybe find them at the Rack for $50-75.
