John Denver, gone 28 years ago today. “.. I was camping up in the mountains. We were in the Rockies … I remember looking straight up and seeing meteor showers and thinking, this is what it is to be alive. And that line ‘I’ve seen it raining fire in the sky’ — that actually came from that night.”

For most Taylor Swift is either a pop star of little interest or an icon. The fact she flies on a Falcon means little or paints her w an elitist brush. To aviators the Easter egg in “The Life of a Showgirl” is it couldn’t exist wo leveraging private #aviation. julietbravofoxmedia.com/2025/10/the-...

Thanks for giving those of us women who always felt way more comfortable wearing more menswear inspired or androgynous looks than dresses an all-time style muse. RIP Diane Keaton.

That was a pretty good pie. 🥧

it’s world mental health day so remember that it is okay to not be okay and it is okay to get help! you can not always see when others are struggling so check in with your friends and your family! mental health is just as important as physical health! your mind deserves the same care as your body!

While we count down to NBAA-BACE, here’s my take on the addition of the #G300 to the revamp (and numeric rationalization?) of the product line from #Gulfstream Aerospace. As always… the pilot’s view in #JustJuliesTakes julietbravofoxmedia.com/2025/10/gulf... #aviation #avgeeks

WTF is this nonsense?

If I Ran the Media™ Fewer stories on: —How Dems Need to Change Their Messaging —How [event xx] Will Play w [voter bloc YY] —How 2028 Field Is Shaping Up More of: —Which points of resistance are actually working —What specifically GOP Reps/Sens are so afraid of —Real-world tariff/immig effects —ETC

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data. We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district. Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Édouard Vuillard, French (1868-1940), Garden at Vaucresson, 1920, reworked 1926, 1935, 1936, distemper on canvas, 151.1 x 110.8 cm, The Met, New York City, New York, USA

“I wish I had a garden,” said Toad. “Here are some flower seeds. Plant them in the ground,” said Frog, “and soon you will have a garden.”

Taylor Swift dévoile « The Life of a Showgirl », son douzième album

📝 | Rolling Stone ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Showgirl is the castle she built out of all the bricks that have been thrown at her. She begged on her knees to change the prophecy, and the love she writes about here did just that. She lost her life’s work, but now the empire belongs to her.”

Yep… all downloaded & ready to channel in The Life of a Showgirl 🧡 #swiftie #ts12

“It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.” ― Jane Goodall 💙 RIP to a real one. My childhood hero

That we all strive to make such a gentle and lasting impact on our world as this amazing scientist and good soul. Blue skies, Jane.

Arizonans just elected Adelita Grijalva to represent them in Washington, and there’s no reason to delay seating her. Speaker Johnson should swear her in immediately so she can get to work.

Think it's too late to pitch another showgirl alt cover?

All-new flight deck, Harmony, and integrated powerplant and wing for optimized time-to-climb straight to FL430 at max gross, and excellent short field performance. The Gulfstream G300. Wow! #Gulfstream #avgeeks #aviation

Update from Portland: supplies running low. Please send fig jam and artisanal cheeses. For the jam, prefer GF, vegan, small batch, processed by a guy named River, who only stirs it during Mercury retrograde.

Thinking about the magic of language… and how we still don’t have perfect AI translation. So many reasons, but at the heart is the nuance of emotion. My latest on Medium on #Portugal 🇵🇹 medium.com/@julieinthes...

Every city and county in the country has identifiable problems. None of them justify military action against their citizens, or the imposition of a national dictatorship. A decade ago, this would have been a patently obvious statement that no one serious in politics would have disagreed with.

Blue skies to the last of the legends. #avgeeks #aviation

A great fly-out destination… go for the crabs and the golf carts and the true Olde English dialect. 🦀🦀🦀

Prince releases “Purple Rain” as a single 41 years ago today — originally recorded live in Minneapolis, “though at the time we didn’t know that was the plan,” said keyboardist Lisa Coleman. “Prince was really excited and kept pumping us up: ‘We’re making history tonight.’ It all makes sense now.”

With Taylor Swift about to release an album on vinyl & print journals flourishing, the zeitgeist has us tilting back to an in-person flight instructor refresher clinic—antidote to the box-checking of online FIRCs giving us back our connections w fellow CFIs. julietbravofoxmedia.com/2025/09/nafi...

As I was saying…

The intersection of passions: the June/July issue of The Surfer’s Journal features a piece on the design engineering culture that sprung up with the aerospace industry in SoCal. This is everything to me—and why print rocks, and why longform journalism rocks. #aviation #avgeeks
