'In a city that prides itself on being tough, her critics are pitifully crying that she hurts their feelings and she is not “inclusive” enough.'

"My generation is living online. Our lives being documented in ever more disparate venues; our devices capturing every inane moment, sharing it, pushing it out and notifying everyone of what just happened, who was there, where it was.
