@joelanderson.bsky.social @thepressbox.bsky.social @bryancurtis.bsky.social suggest pointing your listeners to bookshop.org - still convenient online purchasing but the orders are fulfilled by independent bookstores!
Bookshop.org: Buy books online. Support local bookstores.
A better way to buy books online. Every purchase financially supports local independent bookstores.

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

@thepressbox.bsky.social only in journalism - “argot”. Spotted in NY Mag’s profile on Kathleen Kingsbury. “She is perhaps best known for being “ambitious,” which in the argot of the Times tends to be an insult.”
