"newspaper of record" 🙄
The half time show showed the importance of walkable mixed use neighbourhoods. House, bodega, nail salon, Ricky Martin… all in walkable distance.
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
