If you're in NYC you owe it to yourself to get to the Delacorte tomorrow for the last performance of Public Record. It's a 70 minute love letter to the city, tix are free, best bet is probably the TodayTix lotto or just go to the Delacorte for standby. You won't regret it!

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 2w agoPabloReports: What do you make of Trump saying Americans who oppose data centers are backwards and poor? AOC: I mean, how about we put one in Mar-a-Lago? I love that. Let’s put a data center at Mar-a-Lago, and we’ll see how backwards and poor he is in response to that.

A brief thread of incredible moments/choices/elements from Hudson Valley Shakespeare's Les Mis. Here’s a photo of the venue for reference - the back of the stage opens out to a jaw-dropping view of the Hudson Valley and there is zero light pollution and you cannot hear any traffic. (1/5)
