Our publication has a long history with #JohnMastodon

He went to college with our illustrious founder, P.R. O'Publica

Well played Sir O'Publica. Well played, indeed.
@ProPublica oh but which campus??? It must have been so confusing at first!
@ProPublica Do not forget our founder, Nathan Ewsbreaking
@ProPublica This is dumb. We all know that Josiah Mastodon invented this platform in Wolfram, New York in 1879.
@ProPublica it is said that once P.R. O’Publica and #JohnMastodon talked late into the night at the college pub about social media (there may have been some drugs taken) and that discussion became known as “The Conversation”
@ProPublica @TheConversationUS I can’t like this bumper crop of fine viral humor enough!
@TheConversationUS @ProPublica PS Need to get with you about doing an article from my/our recent book that won the Browne Award. But more about that in January.
@Lee_in_Iowa Wonderful! You can pitch us here: https://theconversation.com/us/pitches (Please not that our mission is to help academic experts reach the public, so we arbitrarily require all our authors to have academic affiliations)
The Conversation

@TheConversationUS I’m a full professor at a mid-sized private university and have over 200 referred articles, book chapters, and presentations, so I’m right in your niche, I think. Will work with my on-campus liaison in January.
@ProPublica can't wait to see the Social Network-style biopic of their epic falling out with each other.
@ProPublica …of the Massachusetts O’Publicas?!
@ProPublica @Lee_in_Iowa I remember him — we were at Fediversity together.
@ProPublica @marywolf I’m still bent that John Mastodon gave every student in his C++ class a C+!
@ProPublica P.R. could really hold their liquor. Would drink me under the table every time.
@ProPublica Ah, from the we'll known Cork O'Publica family.

Attached: 1 image I also like creating silly movie/game poster mashups, so I made this! Poster Trivia: The far left face is Aaron Rupar who Musk banned for reporting on Musk banning people, & the Mastodon logo is embossed over the right hand wrist of John Mastodon's gauntlet #JohnMastodon #PrivateJetPublicData #AssassinationCoordinates

Mastodon 🐘
@ProPublica #JohnMastodon has certainly branched out since then, at least based on this game poster I saw and wasn't made by me spending 6 hours on it today just for this trending hashtag!

@ProPublica Yes, wow, I remember P.R. well. Early days, for sure.

@ProPublica Did they hang out with the French-American non-profit news broadcasting pioneer N. Pierre?
@ProPublica Well done. You get how it works here.
@ProPublica the name’s actually Joan Ashanti Mastodon, just to clarify.🙏
