@dkthomp.bsky.social I have a winter Negroni recipe for you. Replace the Campari with Sfumato. It's a rhubarb amaro that gives it this wonderful smoked characteristic, which is perfect for the cold weather we're having right now versus the brightness of a regular Negroni. Let me help you think.

My spot has been mainlining obscure early 90s rap like Young Black Teenagers recently and I have started working out without headphones as a result.

uh holy SHIT?

I’d sacrifice all of these voice features for AirPods where the person I’m speaking to could hear me while I walk down the street. I am having to go back to talking into the handset much of the time #wwdc

@reckless.bsky.social I can’t wait for this week’s edition of “What is a photo?”

I don't think I am the person you think I am, though I am just getting over a mild cold so I know a thing or two about viruses...

@reckless.bsky.social I think we need a Go90 scale of jobs that are now increasingly likely to send you to jail (and we’ll open the bidding on Editor-in-chief at….40?)
