Genie, for my first wish, I want a contestant to win, like, ten @Jeopardy games, all while phrasing all her responses in the form, “George Washington, innit?” British accent optional!

Aaaaaand I’m no longer a Clapton fan.

We have all the records, cassettes, CDs, Mini-Discs, and streams, Dude. Good luck in your retirement.

Can't stop thinking about the Upper East Side banker who recently told me, "My firm is progressive in that, like, we are encouraged to have pronouns in our signatures, but not progressive like 'We offer family leave.'"

Illegal fireworks aren’t just against the law — they're dangerous.

Our Joint Illegal Fireworks Task Force is getting illegal fireworks off the streets and ensuring people are safe and can get some sleep at night.

That's a win for all New Yorkers.

🐾 There are no woofs to express the pain in my heart. Champ was my brother, best friend and mentor. He taught me everything I know. I take solace in the fact that he was so, so loved and he had a happy, long, meaningful life. Fly free, furry angel! #BestestBoy #AngelChamp 🕊

I’m incredibly disappointed with myself. While making a statement in defense of Lin-Manuel Miranda on the Colbert Show last night, I was clearly dismissive of black lives that matter in our Latin community. It is so easy to forget how celebration for some is lament for others.

Have literally never met a person who is all, “Mmm, so glad the Beast turned into the oldest Hanson bro because YUM.”

Watching the NYC mayoral debate and want to call on Yang and say, “Andrew, thank you for that quiet hand.” #teacher #NYCMayoralDebate

50% of adult Americans are now fully vaccinated. This is big progress. Let’s not stop here, get vaccinated if you haven’t already.

@KenyonSivels Aw, thanks so much! All of the teachers in the tournament are amazing people and educators, and it was an honor to play with them.

@Chase says I have to make an appt to see a banker b/c of Covid, so I have to call my local branch. 5 NYC branches near me don’t pick up their phones. No option to hold or leave a message. If I don’t do wire transfer today, it’s a big problem. HELP?

@alexg0ldberg I’m tearing up remembering the early stages of this beautiful journey. Couldn’t be prouder.

I feel the way I do about American democracy right now the way I felt about Covid on March 1st.

@seffikogen “No more than 500,000 non-Jews.”— Ethnic Poles and Slavs? What’s the rationale for excluding them but including Romani/Sinti/other populations also targeted due to Nazi racial superiority theory?

[Meggie Kwait @MeggieKwait]

Good! Nice to see a gov’t response to reports of lack of access.

The Armory site was selected specifically to allow easier access to the #CovidVaccine to these communities, and a dedicated outreach team that includes bilingual staff has been created to expand community outreach efforts in Northern Manhattan. https://t.co/0tRZNKcFZk
