Does a country that invades other states, bombs & murders civilians in hospitals, residential areas and kidnaps children BELONG in the UN Security council?

An observation on how #Mastodon is growing 👀

Over the past month, multiple journalists from top outlets have contacted me related to content I’ve shared.

While this was not uncommon on #Twitter when I was active there, it’s relatively new for me in the #fediverse. I suspect this suggests professional news outlets are becoming more comfortable here & posts have increasing impact. Good.

Hey Fediverse, I'm coming back with a new request.

I'm looking for other people with experience with the Hurler-Scheie Syndrome (also known as MPS-IH). I've tried to search though hashtags but without any success. Boosts are welcome. #hurlerscheiesyndrome #mps

Finally. My YouTube channel's hiatus is over!

'As a journalism professor in Illinois, Meyer said, he had graduate students from Egypt who talked about how people would come into the newspaper office and seize everything so they couldn’t publish. Those students presented a scholarly paper at a conference in Toronto about what it has done to journalism there.

“That’s basically what they’re trying to do here,” Meyer said. “The intervention is just like that repressive government of Egypt. I didn’t think it could happen in America.”'

But…I might need it.

A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who said:

"Rome ? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty. You're crazy to go to Rome. Anyway, how are you getting there?"

"We're taking BA," was the reply. "We got a great rate!"

"BA?" exclaimed the hairdresser." That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always late. So, where are you staying in Rome?"

"We'll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome's Tiber River called Teste."

"Don't go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks it’s gonna be something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump."

"We're going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope."

"That's rich," laughed the hairdresser. You and a million other people trying to see him. He'll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it."

.

.

A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome.

"It was wonderful," explained the woman, "not only were we on time in one of BA's brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a handsome 28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot. And the hotel was great! They'd just finished a £5 million remodelling job, and now it's a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner's suite at no extra charge!"

"Well," muttered the hairdresser, "that's all well and good, but I bet you didn't get to see the Pope."

"Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on theshoulder and explained that, once in a while, the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me. Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me."

"Oh, really! What'd he say ?"

He said: "Who the fuck did your hair?"

Recorded our first live episode of the Batteries Included Podcast, and I think it went pretty well.

I always enjoyed making our podcasts before we went independent, but I gotta say, I'm actually enjoying it much more now.

Found via Joshua P. Hill on twitter: "I think a lot of us who grew up in this era where unions have been weakened literally don’t know that strong unions can do stuff like reverse you getting fired. And we should."

Nice to meet you!

Trying my hardest to make more friends on here. Please boost to help me socialize. My hobbies include:

-counting the number of leaves on a tree until I get bored, typically around the 2-3 range.

-editing the Muppets Wikipedia page to state that the Muppets were responsible for both starting and ending the Cold War.

-trying to get unbanned from Wikipedia.

From next month, I have availability for a new project.

If you need help with API development, I have the expertise and track record to deliver practical, efficient, and reliable solutions.

Contact me if I can help your team and project.
