Fun podcast this week: @nicholasdanfort.bsky.social and I talked to @hannahluci.bsky.social about Istanbul!

We talked about waterfront privatization, cafes, and how the city has changed in the last two decades.

Since this morning this private jet has flown from Al Makhtoum airport in Dubai to Damascus, then to Bateen airport in Abu Dhabi, then back to Damascus where it landed around 20 minutes ago
