I Love New York In June, How About You?

New Yorker Magazine responds to certain current events with a quiet, completely straight-faced article on how apples go bad, if the rot is not stopped in its tracks as soon as it appears.

Blight spreads quickly, and it’s not always apparent on the fruit’s surface. Even without the influence of invader or infection, an apple abets its own spoilage: its skin, minutely porous, exhales ethylene, a gaseous compound that induces ripening, and the fruit has no interest in stopping at the point where it serves our needs.

That is some QUALITY shade.

Well done.
