.@NYCMayor said he didn’t go to sleep til 3:45a following the #Knicks win. “We’ve been waiting for this for 53 years, and it just feels like the entire city is alive. The biggest city in the country feels like the smallest town in the world.”

#KNICKS NAIL IT!!!!!! Been a fan since 1970 at age 15, and the sheer joy in the streets of our city last night is the best love drug there is. See you at the parade Thursday in Mamdanistan! #NewYorkOrNowhere

Same reason they don’t step in to save the SF Opera or the Met: these are fully bourgeois capitalists who have shed even bourgeois self-consciousness. They feel no obligation to justify their wealth, so they spend it on being internet famous instead of colleges or the arts.
I think it’s rather interesting that despite being far wealthier in absolute terms than a Vanderbilt or Carnegie or Stanford, and being directly positioned in an industry that could benefit from it, no tech elite has ever founded a university, and few have even given endowments

important to note that one of the reasons New York fucking rocks is that when something good happens here it’s not like, oh let’s sing the song about it, it’s like wait which of the multiple iconic songs should we sing about how fucking awesome it is

People talk about Reggie Miller and the Knicks but he won exactly as much as they did. Fight the real enemy.
