I’m aware. It’s actually a small reference to Kendrick Lamar’s early rap name which was k.dot . Can’t have punctuation in your name on lemmy, tho.

I’m certainly not sure. There’s no bounds to the depth of government endorsed racism in this country.

I only know that Seneca Village, in particular, was geographically a small portion of what makes up Central Park. A quick perusal of Wikipedia isn’t an all encompassing or definitive history but it appears that approximately 1600 residents in a number of different villages were evicted through eminent domain, while Seneca Village seems to have had ~250 residents at its peak.

As is often the case it seems like residents with the least power and wealth were steamrolled by government agencies for a “civic good,” but many sites were considered before this shameful act, so it hardly seems that the park was an invented purpose after the fact. Rather, these government agencies should be shamed for continuing to force the least powerful and wealthy of its citizens to pay for shared public goods.

This is yet another absolutely shameful example of government led evil, but Seneca Village was also a small portion of what makes up Central Park. We need not imply that demolishing a thriving black community was the sole goal of Central Park to acknowledge how fundamentally fucked up this place is.

Out of curiosity, how do you know this?

I make this regularly and it is dummy fucking easy and delicious. My partner hates spaghetti before I cooked this for them. You need onions and garlic. Neither of these items go bad quickly. Keep them in a drawer or cupboard out of sunlight.

Hot Italian sausage Yellow Onion Garlic Can of Crushed San Marzano tomatoes

Angel hair (capellini)

Parmesan Black pepper.

That’s it. Those are all the ingredients.

Put salted pot of water on high. Heat separate pan to medium/ medium-high. Oil. Squeeze Italian sausages between finger and thumb to make little sausage meatballs in the pan (I used 2.5 sausages for two people). Brown. Add 1/3-1/2 diced onion. Brown. Add 5-6 cloves sliced garlic. Brown. Add half can of crushed tomatoes. Stir. Add Angel Hair to pot of boiling water. Turn off saucepan when sauce pan is bubbling. Cool Angel hair a couple minutes. Eat a single one to test if “al dente,” if not cook 30 secs more at most. Drain Angel hair and plate in bowls or on plates. Plate sauce on Angel hair. Grate Parmesan and grind black pepper over top. Serve.
