Hey @billywitz.bsky.social - your “clever” parenthetical does NOT belong in a serious news story about a very serious topic. Cut the cutesy stupid shit. This is a serious situation. #Canada will remain sovereign and to suggest that there a possibility otherwise is bullshit.

My wife just sent me this incredible photo that she took from the window of her @alaskaairlines.bsky.social flight from SNA to SEA. How she managed to capture the shadow of her plane in a rainbow circle is beyond me. But wow! #aviationphotography #alaskaairlines #planespotting #aviation

It’s not #caturday yet but given that the country is on fire, here’s a cat with flames.

Didn’t listen to any news today - the BBc, CBC, nothing. There’s nothing there that’s “news”. These are the worst people doing the worst things they can get away with. So I tried to keep myself occupied with other things, occasionally repeating this mantra.

The world is pretty awful. Fortunately cats don’t seem to care. So here is a picture of our cat Sophie sleeping peacefully.

What do you do when you have FOMO from missing JPM and getting to see everyone?
You get @luketimmerman.bsky.social to come a visit you in the back of beyond!

Even though I'm not reading the news and avoiding NPR, there's enough awfulness in the world that it seeps in. So I decided to take the day off for a personal timeline cleanse.

My wife loves doing the jigsaw puzzles that people leave on the ferries. And then I looked closely at the one she’s working on tonight …

I’ve taken this ferry hundreds of times but still never get tired of how beautiful it can be out here on the water.

We’re christening this “The Gilman”. Fabulous. Equal parts reposado, Aperol, St. German, and lemon juice. Thanks @gilman.bsky.social - it’s a hit!

Don’t know about you all but I got the best book for #Christmas. It was a pleasure to explain to my daughter why I was so excited about this gift.

There is no Chinese food here on #OrcasIsland so for #Christmas I made a picture perfect lasagna (thanks, Cook’s Illustrated) and paired it with an arugula salad and a nice Barolo. Happy Christmas!

Walking up to my home office on my last work day of the year. Despite the crushing darkness of the far Pacific Northwest, I have been lucky to have my team and my work as a constant source of light.

The darkness … it is here. Tuesday is tue 7th best day of the week, so Tuesday before the winter solstice is the 365th best day of the year.
Hello darkness my old nemesis.

Final flight of 2024. An extraordinarily travel-heavy year. Most of my miles were on #AlaskaAirlines who provided me - once again - with remarkably good and consistent service. I’m grateful to their entire team.

I ❤️ Alaska Airlines so much. Today it’s because they have these their JFK lounge. I almost never see these on the West Coast (and will leave it to others far wiser than me to speculate why that is). Here’s why (a short 🧵
