See Photo 1 of 6 for a description of the Sing Sing.

Every year, about 100 of PNG’s tribes gather to compete in dancing, singing, and drumming. I photographed this event a few years ago, and it remains one of the most mind-blowing displays of humanity I’ve ever seen and in the top three of the most remote places I've traveled. Each tribe dances into the festival grounds wearing an incredible variety of costumes made from feathers, fur, shells, their faces often painted in elaborate make up. Each tribe having its own amazing costume

Although the festival has become well-known, I would guess that less than100 tourists were present to witness this incredible event. It’s hard to describe the intensity of the singing and visual impact it has when you first see each tribe enter.

Prior to the start of the festival, I was in a handful of tourists that was taken to view the make-up and costume preparation of the Hagan Tribe, which had some of the most elaborate feathers and even bird wings in their head dresses (see photos 2, 3)

If you have questions about how to visit Goroka, let me know. It's a difficult place to get to, but a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Top 100 Board Games of All Time, 2022 Edition (20-11)

One of the fun things about this process is going through old lists I made years ago, and wondering what I was thinking. “Oh, wow, I sure did rank that game high. What was I thinking?!?” I want to stress that that’s because I was young and stupid then. Now, of course, I am old and wise, and this list is, of course, flawless in every way.

So, as we're seeing another huge #twittermigration today, remember to watch the local timeline and give a friendly welcome to new users coming over. Twitter's loss is our gain! 👍

TIP OF THE DAY

Use and Follow #hashtags !!!

Mastodon has no ads, 500 chars, 5 pins, and edits, but the best thing is NO ALGORITHM. On the birdsite you are force-fed by an algorithm. A mishmash of your history, likes, follows and whatever Twitter wants to cram into you. With NO ALGORITHM, you are in control. Your feeds are just who and what you follow, and you can follow #hashtags .

Include #hashtags liberally so others can follow your ideas.

I have said a lot about Romana but I never gave her "superhero origin story". An old QAnon scare that went around before the 2020 election was that the Chinese were stationed in Canada with New World Order troops preparing a tunnel attack on the United States.

People were actually claiming that the "white hats" were using tactical nukes to take out these Chinese tunnels.

Seriously, people believed this was happening.

Romana claims to have stopped the Chinese, somehow.

@tchambers @jameskoole Agreed, people on the Fediverse have different expectations of interaction and any organisation should be aware of that.

Crossposters to the Fediverse, however, already exist and have that unidirectional effect that is so jarring. Having tools such as full social media managers should solve that problem because they add listening and responding. It would be a definite improvement over crossposting.

Gosh dang it to heck! It’s the

The toughest thing about proving white collar crime, as I've learned from @Popehat is proving intent. I'd imagine that suspects having a groupchat called "Wirefraud" must make prosecutors positively *giddy*.
