PM @mark-carney.bsky.social: Given we've been managing without it since 1929, is it an option for this new bridge to simply wait 1,074 days, 1 hour, 54 minutes, 51 seconds, and then open it under the currently agreed terms? (📸 AHeneen via Wikimedia under CC BY 4.0) | 🍁

Friday Pizzapalooza (National Pizza Day Edition) 🍕 I don't really need a set day to celebrate pizza; I celebrate pizza *every* day. 🎉 However, I marked the moment with a new, first-time ingredient: a post-bake dusting of Spiceology's Smoky Honey Habanero Seasoning. | 🔗 spiceology.com/blogs/recipe...

That aviation is, sadly, way too expensive for many to directly participate is the quiet part we'll say out loud. 🗣️ But there's a cost-effective alternative for which Managing Editor @terencecgannon.com makes the case. And without once uttering the 'D-word'. (📸 M.D. Klement) | 🛩️ 🪽 📡 📹 📍 🇺🇸

« So what are the rest of us supposed to do if we want to participate as opposed to spectate, lest we expectorate over the prohibitively high cost of stick time? »

We recently remarked there's no such thing as a sure thing, but like our recent Concorde post, a photo of the achingly beautiful DH.88 Comet comes pretty close. Such as this one, from 1934.

Hey, @jay.bsky.team, can it be arranged that I never again see another screenshot from X here on @bsky.app? There’s absolutely nothing I want or need to see from over there. Ditto other social platforms as required. Anybody else like to have this option? 🗳️

Played hooky this afternoon and went to see a matinée of Marty Supreme. An outstanding film worthy of all the awards I believe it will win. That said, if I had known that Kevin O'Leary had been cast in it, basically playing himself, it would have been a non-starter for me; an absolute must-miss. | 🎬
