Mastodon

April 28, 2022 by nomdeplume707, posted in media

So, I’ve just joined the Twitter that isn’t owned by Elon Musk. I have no idea whether this is a good idea/useful. But here is an invitation link if you want to join me there. In the absence of #linkedin this may be a good social network for me. Or not.

Linked out

March 10, 2022March 10, 2022 by nomdeplume707, posted in Bon mots, media

Hey, I’ve been banned from linkedin after years of extensive posting and commenting. No warning, no explanation, no obvious way to appeal, and certainly no way to let 950 connections know what has happened. Rumours of my physical demise greatly exaggerated, facts of my linkedin demise not so much.

Lifting veils

July 26, 2020 by nomdeplume707, posted in History, media, poetry, politics, science

The process

of ageing

is one of

lifting the

veils, one by

one, that hide

the number

of stupid

people

in the world,

until you

see clearly

the horror,

then you die.

Philatelic thoughts

June 7, 2020 by nomdeplume707, posted in History, media, poetry

Sometimes,

when I am

sorting my old

English

postage

stamps,

I wonder if

this one or

that one was

a stamp my

great great

grandfather

might have

used.

Mine

June 7, 2020June 7, 2020 by nomdeplume707, posted in History, media, poetry

I wonder what

he was thinking,

that first man

who chewed a

mouthful of

pigment and

then blew it

over his hand

pressed tight

against the wall

of a cave?

Doctor who?

March 9, 2020 by nomdeplume707, posted in Bon mots, History, literature, media, poetry, science

The shelves of

the World’s

libraries

are filled with

millions of

books by unknown

people who

thought writing

a book would bring

immortality.

Doubtful

benefit of

giving most

people the

benefit of

the doubt
