I’m really enjoying guilt-free motoring in my cute Citroen Ami.

Doing an interview with the BBC to promote my upcoming musical “Allegiance” in London.
This is my legacy project, the work I am most proud of and am most eager to share with UK audiences. It tells the story of our community, when 120,000 Japanese Americans were put into barbed wire prison camps during WWII because we resembled the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.
Allegiance is a celebration of the human spirit over adversity. #NeverForget

So, we finally got to adding me to the team's page of the company. I kinda like my picture there but I fear it might not fit in well with the others... thoughts?

Good God, I'm watching the England v Iran game and I cannot believe that football has so far to go in terms of player safety.

The Iranian goalkeeper looked unwell, probably concussed, confused, and unsteady on his feet yet was allowed to play on!

The usual complaint is that players get paid too much, but surely there's also a duty of care towards the players. This guy should not have been allowed to play.

Almost 180k new users joined #mastodon yesterday, a new record. This third #twitterMigration wave happened after Musk's Twitter 2.0 ultimatum to #Twitter workers. Each wave is stronger than the previous one. Here is my updated plot showing the three consecutive waves.

Mastodon Day

Friday November 18, 2022 - An Incredible Day In Internet History

You were here.

It started with the Twitter lockout. 10,000 new users an hour. Almost a quarter million migrated to Mastodon in one day. The servers struggled. Remarkably, admins all over the world built up capacity in real time. New users were patient. The system held.

It's running better now. There will be more hard days ahead, but people powered social media has arrived.

On my dog walk this morning, in glorious autumn sunlight, surrounded by trees & silence, the soundtrack in my head (not my ears, I don’t listen to stuff on a device when I walk) was Abdullah Ibrahim, remembering Tuesday’s glorious concert at the Barbican. He played solo piano without pause for 80mins or so, & it felt like just 20mins.

Did you know there was a Manchester Mastadon server @rickogden ?

The Surgeons' Hall Riot happened #OTD in 1870. The Edinburgh Seven arrived at Surgeons' Hall to sit their anatomy exam and were met by a crowd of male students and several hundred onlookers who opposed of women studying medicine. Not to be deterred the women went on to sit their exam.
After not being allowed to graduate at the time the group were posthumously awarded their medical degrees from Edinburgh University in 2019.

World Science Forum 2022 Media for Social Justice Fellowships
Support and promote science from the 'global south.'

One of WSF2022’s main objectives is to support the profession of science journalism in these quite difficult economic times. In the ‘global south’, where issues of importance to local, national and regional peoples are often a ‘hard sell’ at the global level and lack media coverage, the WSF2022 theme of “Science for Social Justice” strikes a definite chord.

To all working on #consciousness as a scientist or philosopher:

Please consider adding yourself to this list: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d

Should hopefully make it easier for all of us to connect!

Thanks to @gmusser for pitching the idea! (Any problems with the implementation are entirely on me though 😉.)
