One of the best things I've read in a long while:

One frustrating thing on Mastodon is getting a follow recommendation and you look at the account and they haven't posted for weeks or months. Dr. Jorge Caballero @DataDrivenMD to the rescue!
Check out this "simple website that lists 5-8 *active* Mastodon accounts for each of the following categories: Columnists, Journalism, Tech, Media, Politics, Authors, Social Justice, Advocacy, Law/Legal, SciComm."

Thanks Dr. Caballero!

Ce dessin de Grindle dans l'excellent Bea Wolf de @zaski et @Bouletcorp m'a vraiment scotché (l'un parmi tant d'autres).
J'y retrouve un peu de ce personnage flippant de The Wall (un prof si mes souvenirs sont exacts, encore quelqu'un qui détruit les enfants dans le film justement !)
@ZachWeinersmith why do I just see bitcoin in this cartoon? 🤔
African Americans make up 38 percent of Mississippi’s population. Mississippi’s governor just declared Confederate Heritage Month. @MargaretMcMulla on the long shadow of racism: https://www.thebulwark.com/emmett-tills-murder-the-importance-of-seeing-and-remembering/
Goooooood morning! To those engaged in this thread -- did you know about #Newstodon Friday?!
It's a great chance to see the best work from news organizations who have an active presence here in the #fediverse. Take a look at the tag later today! #journalism
RT @rbreich
Clarence Thomas not only accepted free vacations and had undisclosed financial dealings with a GOP donor, he also supported the Citizens United ruling and insisted that SCOTUS should, “invalidate mandatory disclosure and reporting requirements.”
His actions drip with corruption.
Anyone who thinks that the right stands for protecting free speech is, at this point, a deluded fucking idiot.

NATO EXERCISES!
After joining NATO, Finland held the first military exercises near the coast of Russia
Together with the ships of Finland, were the German 140-meter frigate Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and the 120-meter Portuguese frigate Bartolomeu Dias. Both ships had 400+ crew members.

The military runs on young soldiers, and sometimes, chatroom braggarts who want to share classified documents get recruited too.

@isaiah Happy birthday to your son! 🎂
@lordbowlich @dgoldsmith That just made me feel...so old. 😢
Let's see: I've lived in 9 US states (Mass, NY, Pennsylvania, Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland, California, Arizona, Vermont) and England, Belgium, France, Israel, and Japan.
I used to be a news photographer in Washington DC during the Clinton years. I've worked for Congressional Quarterly, UPI, Scripps Howard News Service.
Now I live again in Paris.
