@duolingo @duolingo Hi! I’ve done my Duolingo everyday this week so far and twice the app said that I skipped a day and used two streak freezes. Please fix it and give me credit!!! I’m at 1619 days. I should be at 1621.

@NYCTBus @nyc311 @JCDecauxGlobal @jcdecauxusa @JCD_Transport the Jamaica Center bus shelters need a wash. Would you please clean up before it gets too hot and smelly out? @NYCMayor @nycgov @NYCMayorsOffice @nyc311 @nycqueens5 @QnsBPRichards @DRichardsQNS @RepGraceMeng @NYCCouncil #nyc #jamaica

[Laurel Schwartz @laurelmschwartz]

@NYCTBus @nyc311 It’s the whole bus depot. It needs a wash.

@TheEconomist Can you help me understand the difference between a flat white and a latte?

And while we’re at it, how did this whole Italian fancy coffee thing start in the first place?

I lived in CA for two years and the first time I knowingly lived through an earthquake was a few minutes ago in the Bx!

@duolingo two times this week I practiced my 中文 on the subway. I had a cell phone signal when I completed my exercises, and then the app told me that I hadn’t done my Chinese. I’m on day 1497 but really should be on 1499. Help! 谢谢。

@RobinhoodApp malfunctioned and charged me for an instant transfer from the app to my back account and won’t reimburse me the $10.95 for their mistake. And they told me this after taking three hours to respond to my chat. I want a refund. #robinhood #scam #trading #trade

Just back from 9 days in 🇨🇳 as a topic expert supporting @ChokweALumumba @MayorLeeHarris @RobynTannehill @BarbaraBuffaloe @jimbrainard @mayornorton. Major takeaway: from 95%+ EV bus fleets to district HVAC, there's lots worth seeing in 🇨🇳 for 🇺🇸 local govts on climate/energy.

@UberEats I am trying to apply my promo and it’s not letting me. I’m trying to contact you and can’t figure out how. Help please!

@MTA @NYCMayor @MTA @NYCCouncil creative idea for boosting post-COVID. I *try* take the Q4 daily. The whole thing. It’s sporadic&gets bunched up. Fellow riders say they end up to paying @ Jamaica Center for the train anyway. I often take the more reliable $3 private minibuses instead.

I so appreciate this article!

A heat index of 158°F (70°C) was recorded in southern Iran today.

Even the healthiest and youngest individuals could not survive this heat for more than 6 hours.

@311MC311 thanks for the water on the bus!

[Laurel Schwartz @laurelmschwartz]

@311MC311 another customer and I have been waiting at Takoma station for 20 min. No rideon busses! Saw three park and thought maybe one was ours. Nope. The app and the poster bus schedule say there should have been 1 (or 3) since we got here. Plenty of @wmata busses. What gives?

It's been 3 years since Fulbright China was terminated by an executive order. @POTUS You can bring it back with another executive order! #BringBackFulbrightChina #Fulbright #studyabroad #Travel #education #USA #China

China just experienced its highest temperature in recorded history, topping out at an unbelievable 52.2°C (126°F).

This crushes the country's previous all-time high by 1.7°C (3°F).
