@ecobici Hola tengo un problema con la devolución de una bici. Llevo 35 minutos esperando que me atienden en la línea telefónica. Que hago?

@GraceParra360 The only undesirables around Mexico City these days are the American tourists and *digital nomads* (murder me dead) who “moved” down in the last 6 months and wander around without masks because who cares?

[Michael Snyder @mtpsnyder]

@jameslfredrick To be fair, likely the best thing he could do for them.

@jameslfredrick “It’s cold I wanna go to Cancun” is more the ‘my kid is a spoiled bratt, I’m a shit dad’ excuse, no?

[Michael Snyder @mtpsnyder]

@j_zimms I love Mexico’s second-email standard (at least among the design- and food-adjacent people I mostly talk to) of ‘un abrazo’ but you can’t translate to English (‘a hug’?) and a white guy writing ‘un abrazo’ at the end of an email in English could not be more obnoxious. So: Best.

@rebeccafirkser *whole cumin, of course

[Michael Snyder @mtpsnyder]

@rebeccafirkser Shred them on a box grater, toss with raisins and tons of cilantro and while cumin, a drizzle of olive oil and a good squeeze of lemon!

@Elva_Contra buenos días! Soy reportero en la CDMX y me encantaría platicar contigo/entrevistarte por un texto. Te podría contactar por DM? Gracias!

[Michael Snyder @mtpsnyder]

@genesiaalves I pretty much only stay here to talk to you. Let’s find some other way, please yaar

[Michael Snyder @mtpsnyder]

@margareteby @becagrimm Well I guess it’s good that I like to keep busy.

[Michael Snyder @mtpsnyder]

@margareteby @becagrimm If two media men sleep together do we then have to make a podcast? Because if so I’ve got some calls to make/some audio skills to acquire.

@lacajadecereal @marthalatapi @Cuauhtemoc_1521 @jorgepedro @arturoalvarex Ya vamos! Semana que entra sí ponen mesas afuera

[Michael Snyder @mtpsnyder]

@marthalatapi Espero que no sea puro chisme de taqueros!

@longdrivesouth Meanwhile the jacarandas are out in Mexico City and the weather is such that I was wearing work boots and a wool sweater yesterday and saw someone across the street in shorts and a t-shirt and neither of us was being ridiculous, which I guess is heaven.

@jameslfredrick @ThatEricAlper I would have said Arrested Development...until it actually got more seasons
