Check out this little comedian. 🥸
Not long ago I fielded a question about how to interpret a newborn’s smiles and laughter - noting that (at three days old) these behaviors were probably more reflexive than intentional.
In doing so, I also made a promise: that meaningful smiles and laughter would be just around the corner. And that once they arrive you really couldn’t miss them.
Which brings us to this little joker.
You only get a quick glimpse of the game he’s playing with his grandfather, but what you’re watching is the pair using rapid changes in their facial expressions to make one another laugh.
And boy, is it effective!
Watch as our hero goes from delighted to completely straight faced at the drop of a hat. His serious face makes grandpa laugh and this brings out some of the biggest baby grins you’ll ever see.
It’s clear that this little guy is engaging in humor on purpose - and takes real pleasure in making his family laugh.
He’s just the right age as well.
At about 9 months, babies begin developing “theory of mind” - or the ability to begin envisioning a situation from the viewpoint of another.
I’d say he has a pretty good sense of what will make his grandpa guffaw. Wouldn’t you agree?
This amazingly expressive little guy was shared to IG by thatbabyluv.
[RG911Team] Each of these FDNY firefighters died on 9/11.
If you had one funeral a month for each one, you would still be going to funerals, 23 years later.
But what really killed these heroes?
We asked their firefighting brothers. See their answers in the next post ⬇️
🚨 URGENT: YouTube restricts EI from livestreaming
@YouTube has just placed a punitive freeze on The Electronic Intifada's channel, alleging that several of our previous livestream segments violated their opaque "community guidelines." We vigorously reject this. Our careful reporting and analysis are professional, ethical and factual.
This blatant act of censorship aimed at preventing us from freely discussing the situation in Palestine and the wider region includes banning us from posting videos or livestreaming on our YouTube Channel for seven days. This means we are unable to livestream our program today, 11 September 2024, via YouTube.
We refuse to be silenced!
The Electronic Intifada livestream will go ahead, but you will need to watch it on alternative platforms. Once we go live, you will be able to:
* Watch here on The Electronic Intifada's X/Twitter page: https://t.co/DpnsrpvPk7
* Watch on Facebook: https://t.co/t0eYCy74BA
* Watch on Twitch: https://t.co/Gyynmwaj77
* Watch on Instagram: https://t.co/XC4n149Bq1
We will be starting at our usual time:
1900 Palestine time / 1900 Amman time / 1600 GMT / 1700 UK / 1800 CET / 11 am CT / 12 pm ET / 9 am PT
Please join us!
On Al Jazeera UK journalist @richimedhurst explains how he was arrested by the police under the Terrorism Act for his reporting on Palestine.
I havn't seen Richards arrest reported on any mainstream UK news. You'd think his colleagues would be bothered, wouldn't you?
Journalist @richimedhurst, who was recently arrested under the Terrorism Act: "They're trying to criminalise the most basic function of a journalist, which is to critique the govt.. and also to combat any form of potent activism... in Britain it is unfortunately getting worse"
