🍕 Let’s go!! A few more days, and we’ll be eating pizza where pizza should be eaten!

Looking up, three buildings make an X of negative space. Light hitting them.

🇲🇦 A few years have passed since the last visit (2017!), but it still remains the place I visited more times.

A person rides a motorcycle across a dusty, barren landscape with a mountain in the background. In the middle of the scene is a rustic soccer goalpost on a dirt field. The area is dry with scattered rocks, and the sky is clear and blue.

This one was stuck at the bottom of my Lightroom library. Taken near Zagora.

A few more photos at moroccoBsides.

🍿 I don’t even know how to feel about this one right now. Loved it. Feels like I was punched in the gut. 

Review of “Look Back”. “I did not expect to cry. I did not expect it to be so beautiful.”

Three bear sculptures stand upright against a bamboo forest mural. Left to right: Asiatic black bear, giant panda, and sloth bear. Informative plaques describe each bear species.

They’re offering a good discount to new users, for their 21st anniversary. I’ve been there for close to that time, and wondered why old Pro users, who have been paying for decades, end up having no discount.

I asked them that, if we would also get the discount applied to our next bill.

Got an automated reply. Saying that us, Pro users, should get a reply within 4 hours.

The automated reply took longer than that. The automated one!! I have never waited more two minutes for an automated message before today!

They go on…

Due to a backlog of requests, please expect our responses to be delayed for 7–10 days. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Seven days. At best. A week! I have to wait a week to get a reply. Because I’m a Pro user! I wonder how long must the common riff raff wait, those poor souls!

They end with

Cheerfully,

Cheerfully! Cheerfully?? Shouldn’t it be something like “Jokingly”?

🍿 I do like them both a lot. Despite everything. 

Movie review for “You’re Cordially Invited”. Meh.

🇮🇹 Sempre più vicini… Ancora pochi giorni e partiamo!

Two round plates are mounted on a wall, one above the other; the top plate is yellow, the bottom is orange. A large green plant is on the right.

✈️ First Time 

A child's hand rests on an airplane window frame, suggesting curiosity or anticipation, within the enclosed cabin environment.

Plush toys in a bed.

✈️ Snowy 

Snow-covered mountain rises prominently, surrounded by expansive, icy landscape under a clear blue sky. A small, frozen lake lies near the mountain's base, enhancing the stark, pristine environment.

✈️ Starting a new series: flyingHigh.

Photos in airplanes. Photos of airplanes. Photos with airplanes. Pho… you get the picture. 

A red safety card rests in the pocket of an airplane seat. The card displays an airplane window showing a plane flying in the sky.
A man walks in front of a building. Shadows all around him, he’s on the one part of the scene that has light.

🧠 Perplexity also handles the task with aplomb, but it takes a while for each photo. Mimi, where are you??

💡 One of my favourite folders in Feedbin is the one I created with the OPML file found at the bottom of defaults.rknight.me/.

I had to edit/trim a bit (mostly for languages I don’t speak), but kept most of the blogs on the feed reader.

A great roundup of small web, always something great to see/read.
