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

One that @garius.bsky.social loves to use to break my brain: Orville Wright flew both the Wright Flyer and the Lockheed Constellation.
this is always one of the msot insane factoids for me. wright brother's first flight was in 1903. apollo 11 was in 1969. if you were 20 in 1903, you were 86 in 1969. assuming you still had your marbles, you could have watched man go from flightless to THE FUCKING MOON in your lifetime

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.
I have a personal belief that the more a person is a nerd for something: dinosaurs, The Odyssey, etc, the less likely they are to enjoy a popular entertainment version of that thing.

I have a lot (A LOT) of thoughts on this, but Stephen has said it very well. So... thread ⏬️
One problem a lot of companies have is that management is seen as a career progression rather than as an entirely separately skillset. "We need to give Bob, who's a great programmer, a promotion. Let's make him a manager!" Only Bob has no softskills and his empathy is, shall we say, lacking.

Here is me, pleading with museum shops. We do not want yet another bookmark and eraser with your logo for 11 euros. We. Want. Replicas. Of. Your. Nerdy. Stuff.
I really want some knock offs of these medieval socks from Egypt (12th century CE?) at the GWU Textile Museum. collections-gwu.zetcom.net/en/collectio...
