Shocking that - in a pandemic, when people are struggling - Venmo would freeze your account and expect a timely response from what looks like a phishing email. And no phone number to appeal?! Y’all — transfer your money immediately out of this app

Say fir-well to your holiday tree! From Dec. 26, 2020–Jan. 9, 2021, bring your tree to one of the locations and it will be recycled! Christmas trees will be turned into wood chips that and used to nourish trees and make NYC even greener. #Mulchfest

Constant reminders that you’re a #theatrenerd / #ShakespeareNerd: Every time I go to spell “montage” I write “Montague” and have to go back & edit it

We’re looking for pitches of stories that... - show the (sometimes surprising) effects of Facial Recognition Technology - highlight how different communities are impacted - 5-10 minutes fully produced - make us laugh!

There is nothing quite like the joy of finding a copy of a play you’ve been searching for. Marking a play from the 1600s “found”? YESSS #ExpandTheCanon #dramaturgy

Kudos to The New York Times on the comic timing of The Daily audio screw up. Michael Barbaro says “please make this compelling because we need an episode” and then… silence… *chefs kiss*
