5 Barn Owls on an Upper West Side water tower! 🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉💕 what an incredible Manhattan moment! Photo taken long after nightfall from afar. I pray these beauties never catch a poisoned rat. 💔 Please urge your building manager to use wildlife-safe rodent control! #NYCWildlife #NYC #BarnOwl #owl

One more possible sign that AI is already impacting employment in NYC: For the first time in decades, NYers ages 22–27 with a college degree have a higher unemployment rate than those without one. How long do we wait before we start treating this as real?

Three young American Barn Owl siblings pose for their family portrait on Thursday night. Most seem able to take short flights around the Upper West Side water tank where they have been growing up. 🦉 🦉 🧡 🦉

Owls are captivating New York City with their screeches. The barn owls of the Upper West Side are a rare sight, but the animals have made permanent homes in Jamaica Bay and on Staten Island.

What a talented singer and what a a program! And it ends with an obscure Glass / Ginsburg work. I was sobbing for most of the recital. #america250 #tenor #classicalmusic #ParkAvenueArmory

Did you enjoy it? The Met will present next month Lincoln on the Bardo fro the same composer, and recently the institution did NOT always make the good choice for the composers to promote on its stage.

When it distracts the audience to actually listen to the music, it is stupidly and doesn’t serve Mozart.

Not really. Trying to get more like a Broadway show. Not exactly to my taste.

I thoroughly enjoyed the singing of the three leading ladies and overall the musical performance. But regarding the production, it is more then dull, it goes against the music, distracting the audience with stupid details. #opera
