Alexander Basek @alexanderbasek.bsky.social · 28/09/2026At Marist College Computer Camp (1993 I think) I made a multiple choice game in Pascal. It was called “Adventures of a Demented Cow” and I spent a lot of time programming it to play the Peter Gunn theme on the title screen. 001

Alexander Basek @alexanderbasek.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Somehow missed this very important response. Paesano’s is my benchmark. I think it’s too hard to replicate the volume of pork needed to get that flavor—they just make so many more sandwiches than they’d ever do out here. 120
Alexander Basek @alexanderbasek.bsky.social · 11/09/2026As @espiers.bsky.social mentioned in her thread, the months after were a special time in New York; millions were processing their experience collectively and people were more open than usual.

Alexander Basek @alexanderbasek.bsky.social · 11/09/2026For many, myself included, it’s still a vivid sense memory. The blue sky. The smell that lingered for the rest of the year. The lights from the pile downtown. The posters of the missing in Union Square. 100

Alexander Basek @alexanderbasek.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Each anniversary, a new aspect of what happened strikes me. That the New York City it left behind was so much more parochial than the one that would exist moving forward. How information about what was happening was shared, when it was shared at all, by phone and tv, not text or vertical video. 100

Alexander Basek @alexanderbasek.bsky.social · 08/09/2026The interior of the restaurant is styled like an old person’s idea of what young people think is cool, with graffitied phrases (“For a good time call”) and vintage concert posters stapled to the pepto pink walls.

Alexander Basek @alexanderbasek.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Last one was foreshadowing because I was sick by the time I got home. Service in this town is usually poor and this was no exception. If I get all my appetizers on the table within five minutes of ordering one more time I’ll blow my stack. 100
Alexander Basek @alexanderbasek.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Had one of the worst meals of my decade in Portland last night. New spot from a Top Chef alum. Gummy crudo, a crab cake with an interior reminiscent of friskies, thimblefuls of sauce accompanying the steaks for $4 a pop. Oh, and a truly heinous mussel toast that looked like it was covered in puke. 100
