@aviationstl.bsky.social do you know why STL-SJC doesn't show any non-stop flights? Booked out or they are discontinuing?

@aviationstl.bsky.social don't know if you've already seen but lufthansa is now showing/selling flights with partners directly (United, Air Canada). Very helpful on days when the Frankfurt flight is not operating!

Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

The best way to fight back against Musk: Don’t buy a Tesla. (And if you own one, sell it.) The company was already in a precarious position before Musk launched his assault on democracy. A Tesla boycott would be devastating – and richly deserved. Me, in Slate 🧵

Like smoking a cigarette, driving a giant SUV/pickup endangers anyone nearby. The narrative power of secondhand smoke galvanized the anti-tobacco movement in the 1980s – and it could do the same for car bloat today. My deep dive, in Vox 🧵 www.vox.com/future-perfe...
