Let’s not downplay what a miracle story this is because NYCHA is not City. It's state funded. So anything that deals with its renovations is a bajillion times harder to fund.

Managed to get breakfast at Nisk without a word of English exchanged! I think I confused the lady helping me, she probably wasn’t sure what language to default to as I’m sure like everyone else in Berlin she can speak fluent English 😆

I’ve arrived in Berlin and need to sing the praises of Scandinavian Airlines. ✈️ Our JFK flight was delayed almost 2 hours, and 57 of us were connecting in Oslo. The connecting flight delayed departure by 40 minutes so we could ALL make it! That’s how you do airline customer service. 👏

While biking around Flushing Meadows, witnessed some kids picking up big concrete chunks and throwing them against the floor of the perpetually empty Unisphere fountain. Is this why we can’t have nice things in Queens?

Have you noticed AI generated flyers popping up everywhere? I get that not everyone has time or skill to create a nice graphic, but why or how did ChatGPT (in particular) settle on THIS as the peak of graphic design and marketing? Busy imagery, text over scribbled contrast color, that font. 😩

I grew up in Oklahoma and just watched the musical for the first time today (the 1998 West End revival with Hugh Jackman). I gotta say… modern day attention span is not compatible. 15 minute long dream ballet sequence?? And the last 30 minutes after they sing OKLAHOMA was so random.

My husband’s reading history is all “books written by women for women.” Goodreads thinks he’s a 50 year old cat lady. 🤣 Our tastes could not be more different. He DNF’d Dungeon Crawler Carl because he “doesn’t like video games” and “the cat was annoying”

If your kid is having a ridiculously hard time with something simple and youre frustrated and angry with them and don't understand why theyre always so dramatic about this then your kid is neurodivergent. Or you are. Or both.

It doesn’t count as screen time if you’re doing it with them. Watch movies with your kids, play video games together, binge a tv series with them. It’s all still quality family time.

Watched this with my mom crew last night and honestly I don’t see what the fuss is about. Can I call foul against Chinese people for not being proud of the Asian assistant who is insanely overqualified and the only employee at runway that wasn’t too shallow to work in features department?

Also learned New York’s voter turnout was lower than Alabama’s. No shade to Alabama, but if you’re in NY and not showing up, it’s worth asking why. Maybe it’s been a while since you exercised your right. Make sure your registration is still valid

Today I learned: in New York State, you can drop off someone else’s mail-in ballot at a BOE office, early voting site, or polling place. If someone can’t get there (maybe they’re sick, disabled, overwhelmed, or just not feeling it), you can help make sure their vote gets counted.
