I took my camera to the final adult night at one of New York’s last indoor skating rinks, the weekend before it went out of business, to capture the joy and loss of the community that called it home. thedailybeast.com/the-last-adult…

The @freep High School Apprenticeship Program is more than 30 years old. Countless journalists got their start there as high school sophomores, juniors and seniors. The shadowed mentor reporters and their stories run in the paper.

Verdine White called "You've Got It Bad Girl" a "very hip tune." 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Before working on this tool, the only New York rental assistance effort I'd heard of was rent stabilization. Here, @rondakaysen details plenty more. Discover the ones for which you might qualify. Or simply enjoy @TomiIllo's charming illustrations. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

@DJStylus His "Allure" beats all other versions of that song, including the original.

Had to remind someone yesterday that Kev Brown had the best Jay-Z Black Album remix project by a wide margin.

In early 2020 the subway was so eerily empty "it was like the zombie apocalypse," a Brooklyn commuter told me. What's it like now? @La__Ley, @migold, @jeffreyesinger, @BenjaminNorman_ and I visited stations to find out. nyti.ms/3nuvQqj

As cool as the Brightliners looked, I wanted to reflect how they'd bonded folks across a range of ages and cultural backgrounds. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

As a Detroiter steeped in car culture, I didn't anticipate the deep personal resonance of the R-32 subway train until I talked to wistful riders. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

@DeniseDSLu The hover state of the purchase links is a nice touch.

@migold @nycmarathon @nyrr All you. Light work.

@jasteinerman Congratulations to you both. I really enjoy these snapshots of your growth and successes the last few years.

I got married over the weekend, and have spent the last few days 3D scanning everything I can to preserve it for the future. It’s wild that today we have the tools that will allow us to step back inside our memories and relive them. It was a day worth reliving over and over.

@plmrry cc: @sarambsimon Do Pinto and Clooney have the same stylist?
