Kudos to @nytimes on the comic timing of The Daily audio screw up. Michael Barbaro says “please make this compelling because we need an episode” and then… silence… . *chefs kiss*.

It’s such a missed opportunity not to have this number go to a climate info or grief hotline. ⁦@LastWeekTonight⁩ would have taken that up: can you help out ⁦@dontlookupfilm⁩ ?

Honestly offended that this has nothing to do with puns. This will, however, be the title of my comedy special.

Constant reminders that you’re a #theatrenerd / #ShakespeareNerd: . Every time I go to spell “montage” I write “Montague” and have to go back & edit it.

San Francisco, Oakland, and other cities have enacted moratoriums on government use of the tech. New York looks like a harder sell.

Shocking that - in a pandemic, when people are struggling - @venmo would freeze your account and expect a timely response from what looks like a phishing email. And no phone number to appeal?! Y’all — transfer your money immediately out of this app.
