You have never eaten grits until you taste Blakley Kymen’s kitchen’s take on it at Marcello’s in New Orleans. Served at my wedding and at a tasting about a year ago, it is absolute perfection when paired with shrimp. | Tagged: tweet

@linkblaine Wife and I agree, very cute. | Tagged: tweet

1 hr 15 minutes so far to JFK from UWS. Clearly this infrastructure has everything: scale, resilience, delightfully-cologned Persian drivers. | Tagged: tweet

My dog ran up to a homeless person and gave hugs and attention. She then saw him sit outside a deli because he wanted a sandwich. I told her this. She shook her coin cup to count out enough for him. I had to insist no, but thanks. A little love makes the world better. | Tagged: tweet

Non-Hispanic White Male here who wants to promote @netflix ’s @OneDayAtATime. The stories are timeless and abuelita is pure hilarity. It’s tender, sincere, real, and loving. I love this show so much. | Tagged: tweet

Fitting Room Urban Legend: A man comes in with the max # of items, tries them on, brings them out in a heap without hangars. He is asked to hang his items. He plays the “never in my life” card. Attendant: “First time for everything, I guess.” | Tagged: tweet

When I was listening to @NuShoozMusic “I Can’t Wait” on “Nick Rocks,” if you’d told me I’d be listening to it while watching helicopters land from an office in NYC on the 27th floor, I’d have thought you bonkers. But… | Tagged: tweet

“Steven!” Yelled the amazing woman in the @WeWork kitchen on the 27th floor. 3 years ago I had had a hand in her programming education. She’s now working through a thorny code upgrade process at a company on the same floor. Amazing people in this location! <3 | Tagged: tweet

Saw Hedy Lamarr doc “Bombshell” at @SymphonySpace. It was really outstanding. It’s so hard to be a woman in tech, but all the more so when one’s seen as a great acquisition by male egos due to beauty. Catch it if you can. | Tagged: tweet

I work for @WeWork but I’ve never worked in a @WeWork. I have to say, if I had my druthers, I’d never work anywhere else. The co-tenants are inspiring, beautiful spaces, surprising conversations. They all keep my brain from stultifying. It’s a new high bar for office space. | Tagged: tweet

Today: Finished “Infinite Jest.” I’m still rattling through some of the custody of a certain samizdat, and tying together some characters’ forays, but I’m glad to have read it (and not have to lug it on the subway). | Tagged: tweet

It’s hilarious because it’s true. We’re so Stockholm syndrome we think curses and readline keybindings are deluxe. | Tagged: tweet

Man I’ve been missing the stupidly talented Bill Hader since he kinda took some time away. “Barry” looks great though (still Vinnie Videcchi is a masterpiece). | Tagged: tweet

@dark_shark @NekoCase I’m put in mind of the Bowie invitation of Fripp to Berlin: “Do you want to make dangerous rock-n-roll?” | Tagged: tweet

Between the fog, humidity, and preparing halal carts, Wall street is basically a cloud of onion-ness. | Tagged: tweet

It just dawned on me that a measure of Infinite Jest’s achievement is that I could easily imagine character sheets for a table-top RPG set in Boston, Year of the Depend Adult Undergarment. | Tagged: tweet

Your unwillingness to enact sensible gun control means that this Good Boy has to comfort grief-stricken teens instead of smelling trees and gettting belly-rubs. Fuck the NRA AND THEIR CRAVEN QUISLINGS. | Tagged: tweet

Maybe Sessions should ask his boss, a hotelier whose grandmother was a hotelier about he lucrative nature of intoxicant sales. | Tagged: tweet

Only perk of Sessions going after pot is, like T. Roosevelt actually enforcing blue laws (alcohol sale outside “hotels” on Sunday), it lead to the clear, legal, and taxed sale of alcohol on Sunday. It also united the German vote against the Democrats in NYC. | Tagged: tweet
