Mr. Sotack created one of the first cocktails I ever fixated on enough to try making at home. I also repeatedly asked friends to make it for me in bars when they weren't busy. This was despite my difficulty in finding Nardini. :) Thank you, sir. 🍻 postprohibition.com/recipes/…

AI isn't going to replace artists and writers, jelly minds in management are. Like always. AI is just another gigworker to them.

Set aside those fake Chicago’s players ball images, and dig a bit of the late Michael Abramson’s photography documenting club life on Chicago’s South Side. It’s the real thing, baby.

My grandma used to say all the time "Kids, they'll break your heart." I think about it a lot. Anyway, today my six year old told me she prefers DC comics.

For a simple combination of tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, and salt, this cocktail has a winding history.

@NYCParks Hey, who can I talk to about a complaint? My kid got an acceptance email@& receipt to Holiday Learn to Swim, but when we showed up her name wasn’t on the list. Terrible experience with your customer service line.
