[Will Zimmerman @WillZimmerman8]

I've written 100+ stories for the 10th biggest newspaper in the country and have 108 followers on X.

On top of that, I believe a good story should stand on its own. Unless there's good reason, I should not write myself in.

That instinct was drilled in early and it's mostly good. But the Bourdains and Rahmas of our world break and broke that rule constantly. They are the hook.

Hit my buddy with the 'who won?' when he got back to the apartment last night. Should've seen the look on his face 🤣🤣 #Knicksin4

@katiekirsch What’s one more tech/media/startup journalist from the Post?

Mine’s this:

[Will Zimmerman @WillZimmerman8]

No one cares what you write about yourself on LinkedIn. I brought the receipts to prove it.

Fig. 2 (Feb. 2) — I host two panels ahead of NYFW.

Save your "Thrilled to announce" for Thanksgiving dinner.

the world's first AI dating cafe opens tonight, and I was supposed to go cover its inauguration for the Post.

#blessed to find out a colleague is already on the story. I've been trying really hard to curate a reputation and I"m not sure it'd have survived the hit.

[Time Out New York @TimeOutNewYork]

Yes, you can take your AI on a real date. https://t.co/Qk1FRGVx0M
