The U.S. Open is learning the hard way about its ticketing choices. They offered up grounds passes for free tomorrow. And they just allowed fans to come down to the lower bowl on Ashe for a *day* match.

Can someone please use AI or whatever to fix the “never charge your device to 100%!” problem? Like why can’t I just charge the device to 100% so I get the most use out of it?

Hate these game result posts, but this one is infuriating! Wordle 1,899 X/6 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩

@gothamist.com do you actually respond to user feedback on your poor mobile site experience, or do you just send AI-generated emails asking for follow up information to make people go away? I provided detailed information (and a video) only to have you ghost me. I’m a sustaining member! Do better.

Hilarious that #TheBrianLehrerShow is doing a segment on Flock cameras, and the initial feedback from New Yorkers was "awesome can you use these things to bust people who hide their license plates?"

I saw yesterday that some right-wing outlets were running stories about me, which I’m used to. But this time I’m going to say something about it, because these were framed to imply that I was aligned with their own transphobia. ⬇️

It is 90 degrees in DC and I am on my way to the Great American State Fair. This had better be funny, because it sure isn’t going to be good!

I just watched the mayor’s PSA video about the weather because it’s entertaining. It’s also smart and informative. What a turnaround from the last few decades of okay to terrible mayors of NYC

It’s about to get hot, New York. Sometimes, too hot. Don’t let extreme heat sneak up on you this summer. Go to nyc.gov/beattheheat for more information on how to stay cool during heat emergencies.

One minute we’re handing Sinner the trophy, the next day he’s out! But listen anyway? 🎾

Allez! The French Open is here and with it a bunch of weird, semi-random topics for the pod: ☹️ Alcaraz not playing Wimbeldon 😮 Notable Slam upsets 🥵 Heat wave in Paris 💩 A "medical time out" 💪 Fritz looksmaxxing? and more! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/j...

Every time I talk to a computer over the phone to give it information required to connect me to a representative, said representative invariably asks me the same questions again 😡

I'm working on a column about the tech annoyances that drive us crazy, and I want it to be as universal as possible, so tell me yours! E.g. scanning a QR code to read a menu, never receiving the one-time passcode they supposedly texted you, "verify you're human" by IDing tiny motorcycles, etc.

I would love to read an in-depth analysis of how Gen X became the MAGA generation. I’ve seen lots of different theories and explanations but nothing that brings it together or is fully convincing.

Melania Trump, fresh off polling that shows she’s America’s least-popular first lady, came out of nowhere and positioned herself to be Donald Trump’s least-popular wife. She distanced herself from Epstein while delightfully shoving Donald under the bus. My column: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

One day, "It" will happen, by which I mean sudden and unexpected news that you want to celebrate. In such cases, you will want the right outfit. 🧵

White House: the witness’s allegations are “completely baseless” and “backed by zero credible evidence.” Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.

Is it weird to anyone else that NPR just broke a story that the government is hiding child rape allegations against the President, and no one is talking about it? On Bluesky?

NY Post felching article says it’s fairly common among gay men 🤔 I’ve had my share of MM hookups and I don’t believe this is true?

It’s notable that there’s practically no difference between what Elon Musk and MAGA influencers like Tim Pool post unironically and what Russian & Chinese bots trying to destabilize American democracy by posting divisive content do.

Hilarious that you can see The NY Times thrashing between offensive headlines for the same stupid podcast episode in sequence in the mobile app

It is gonna be so funny watching the NYC bajillionaires scramble to get appointments with Mayor Mamdani after they all insisted they were gonna move to Florida if he won. First of all, most of you already have places in FL and claim it as your primary resident so you don’t have to pay NYC taxes
