Most airlines limit carry-on luggage so it "can't impair emergency disembarkation".
Plane Airlines™ continues to put our customers first, with our policy: "If you managed to bring it on, surely you can take it off!"

I’ve just been told you can actually do this now?? And I didn’t know because I’m still using my iPhone 8 🫠 when she explodes is it gonna feel like teleporting into the future? What else am I totally unwary of that you all take for granted? And how many years behind the curve is my UX instinct?
Obvi it’s a big F.U. to sp*tify since aaaages ago, but sometimes I’m reminded just how dogshit their app/UX/general usability is. Like - wdym you CAN’T send a song to a friend directly in-app? I have to go into a menu, then a submenu, copy a link, open a COMPLETELY SEPARATE APP and send it there????

The new Katamari game is SO GOOD 😭💗 you can CUSTOMISE the cousins COLOURS. There’s an ONLINE MULTIPLAYER MODE. We were WAVING AT EACH OTHER IN THE LOBBY and then I got ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED (but not before rolling one of my opponents up) 🌈🪅✨

Slightly embarrassed to admit that I am well and truly in the throes of a “novelty supermarket products” phase. Funny flavours abound and I am acting under the influence of no one but myself (and a ton of work stress). Turns out who I am when I am not my best self is a Grape Powerade fan

Kiwis 'can be proud' NZ isn't recognising Palestine yet - PM Christopher Luxon
New Zealand was among only a handful of countries - including the US, Japan and South Korea - which had not formally recognised Palestinian statehood.

🍿Tonight’s entertainment on Plane Airlines™ is a thriller movie so iconic, you’ll know it before the seatbelt sign turns off. First to guess gets an in-flight upgrade. 📈

Ernst Haeckel and Audubon (it’s also notable that there’s pretty obvious themes shared by the two… it’d be so nice to have bigass posters of their work but 😫)
Here’s a question: who is the artist with politics you disagree strongly with, whose politics *do* (in your view) influence their art, that you still think is talented and whose work you enjoy?
