The August issue just hit the street. 💥 This month, Managing Editor @terencecgannon.com (re)discovers scale, radio-controlled model aircraft as a result of the FAI news feed. Spoiler alert: they're a universe away from the little stick-and-tissue P-51s we tried to build as kids. | 🛩️ 📡 🥇

Candidly, I had mixed feelings when the news broke about a potential return of Kawhi Leonard to the Raptors. It made me think back to his first tenure with the team; here are my thoughts from 2019. Rereading them, I'm now inclined to believe 'Kawhi II' could be an interesting sequel. | 🏀 🦖

His approach to the game is an example we need in these troubled times.

Oh. So what you're saying is that an AI token is basically the equivalent of the old IBM blue job card? In that case, why didn't you just say that in the first place? | 👴🏻

Our client @blufly.media's July issue just hit the streets. This project certainly has more than its fair share of fun, what with the kind of stories they cover.

BluFly 🛩@blufly.media · 2mo ago

The July issue is out. 💥 This month, BluFly connects with the team of Atlantic Explorer, who recently completed a record-setting, hydrogen-lofted, transatlantic flight from Presque Isle, Maine, to Tandel, Luxembourg. The article is jam-packed with fascinating details and amazing photos. | 🛩️ 🎈 🥇

Any fans of the RCAF Snowbirds here? ❄️ 🐦 The editorial this month is all about them: past, present, and future. And, yes, they do have one. 😎

BluFly 🛩@blufly.media · 3mo ago

The new issue has dropped. 💥 Triggered by recent events, we're celebrating the Snowbirds in June. @terencecgannon.com kicks off with a personal retrospective on the team, and then segues into some thoughts about their future. Surprisingly, he thinks it's brighter than many might think. | 🛩️ ⚔️ 🥇

Gosh, we had no idea this project was even in the works. Our hats 🎩 are off to Renault for getting behind this amazing effort, intended to enable the aircraft—one of the most beautiful ever 😍 in our humble opinion—to get back in the air, where it belongs.

One of the projects that is occupying a lot of our time and attention is @blufly.media. In fact, our Founder and President @terencecgannon.com has been seconded to them as Managing Editor until such time as they're off and running. Have something similar in mind? Let's talk. 🗣️

The new issue is out. 🎉 There is no denying the appeal of great aircraft livery, and we're celebrating it throughout the month of May. We're kicking things off with a 💥 with this great cover photo from our friend @jasonchampton.bsky.social and thence onwards to flying fish and fizzy drinks. | 🛩️ 🥇

Partly in response to @toni.bsky.team's recent article 'About the Atmosphere'—and it's likely to ruffle feathers—if we're concerned about the long-term well-being of @bsky.app, outside of the @atproto.com developer community, we need to stop talking about the AT Protocol. (📸 Declan M. Martin) | 🦋

Hey @pfrazee.com , is there something weird going on? We've just seen recent posts on a number of accounts we manage disappear. If that's something others are experiencing, are they gone forever or just temporarily?

So, @bluefacts.app, we want to make sure we're interepreting this correctly: for instance, in the case of « Daily Likes on Bluesky » are you saying for every 100 likes seven days ago, there would have been 83.8 likes today? That is, down by 16.2%? Or is there something we're missing? Thanks. | 🦋

With Premier @susanholtnb.bsky.social having demonstrated leadership in this regard (as per @globalnews.ca, linked), isn't it high time for you, Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social, to make a similar commitment?

We're in awe 😲 of @redbull.com's ability to get their name 'out there' in some very cool places: to wit, the Red Bull on *both* the aircraft and the low-flying, wind-powered hot rod below, at the recent SailGP event in Perth, Australia.

It's a very low priority for me, given that the functionality can be delivered by using a text editor. In my case, I use @textastic.bsky.social. Available on all platforms and likely more functional than any 'built-in' editor. There are *many* other things I would like to see addressed before this.
