I was grumpy b/c woke up to news of future of 5-day-RTO coming. Then I won a rush ticket to “Every Brilliant Thing” so I feel like I can no longer complain about anything.

Ground beefing technology, truly

Gonna need everyone to see what we were paying for Macs in like 1990.

Work in Progress: How we're tackling Sidewalk Sheds (with John Wilson) YouTube video by NYC Mayor's Office

Scaffolding: “Sometime’s it’s magically here, then it magically goes away, you complain about it in between.”

In praise of the tuna melt, the ultimate NYC sandwich Warm fish is so hot right now.

I am a tuna melt connoisseur and S&P Lunch is the best in Manhattan but still is not as good as Tom’s Restaurant’s in Brooklyn. Also, open-faced tuna melts are always inferior.
