I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”
I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

Ever wonder what an entire season of scripts would look like printed out? Here is PJOTV season two.*

Ahhhhhh!
Yesterday, we had our first PURELY HYPOTHETICAL absolutely-nothing-confirmed "what if" conversation about what the casting might look like for Nico di Angelo if/when we get to move forward on season 3, and although it was just a thought exercise, I'm not going to lie, I still got chills. 🤞☠️

As I sit in a crowded airport lounge and am forced to overhear a business call, I see firsthand how difficult it is to conduct international trade when the tariffs are changing on an hourly basis.

Well, just watched an early producers' cut of PJOTV episode 203. Yes, demigods! The excellence continues. Long way to go in post-production, but the cast and crew have done such a great job on this season. Can't wait for you to see it!

READING FOR PLEASURE has such a powerful impact on kids, it should be at the heart of everything you do with them, every single day. Always show how them how much YOU love books. Read books to them, talk about books with them, help them find books to love - and it will change their lives! #literacy

Favorite new Italian expression. In English, we say, "He keeps turning up like a bad penny" for that annoying person we don't want to see anymore. In Italian, the equivalent is: "È come prezzemolo." He's like parsley. Here's to reducing the parsley people in our lives!
