Paper Airplane Vol. 4 cover by @kaitlinbrito.bsky.social: a tribute to the transportive, mind-blowing nature of reading and, simultaneously, a nod to the wildly transportive, mind-blowing prose-plume that you’ll find inside—“How the Bicycle Was Born” by @mariapopova.bsky.social

The cover of Paper Airplane Vol. 4, showing a man and a girl behind bookshelves. The books on one shelf make it look like the man is riding a bicycle and the girl's head is an erupting volcano.

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

Pro tip! The less you post about "Lake America," the less written evidence of its use there is, and the less likely any reputable dictionary company will enter it into their dictionaries. ONLY *YOU* CAN PREVENT BAD LEXICOGRAPHY

No Delta. Under aircraft details I'd actually like to know what the plane is (Realized after that it's under the main flight header, but still....)

Screenshot from Delta Airlines app showing the Aircraft Details Section. Which doesn't show what airframe the plane is.

It's really hard to watch things set on airplanes. It's almost better when it's obviously a set, but when they use an actual fuselage I spend the whole time trying figure out whose plane it used to be.

It took a bunch of tries, but I caught the lightning in the storm clouds we were flying past!

I think other sports should have a penalty box. Replace basketball fouls with 2min minors. Same with football. There's got to be something baseball players do to stick them in a smaller adjacent dugout. Soccer yellow card = into the box you go.
