**[PRENOTAZIONI QUI](https://www.eventbrite.it/e/tre-pochezze-al-microfono-stand-up-comedy-gratuito-tickets-1990963902628?aff=oddtdtcreator)** **LO SPETTACOLO** Tre comedians si alternano sul palco tra stand-up comedy e comedy shorts per raccontare il caos contemporaneo attraverso piccole storie di quotidiano fallimento. Tra battute taglienti — anche scorrette, perché nella stand-up non esistono filtri né censure — ed esilaranti short reading, prende forma un racconto di “bassa cultura” che celebra con orgoglio quell’alta ignoranza di cui, in fondo, tutti noi faremmo volentieri a meno. Una serata comica in cui i tre comedian-reader mettono in scena sé stessi e un’esistenza al limite, per farci ridere e riflettere sulla nostra irresistibile pochezza. Soluzioni zero, problemi tantissimi, ti aspettiamo per condividere insieme il disagio contemporaneo. **I COMICI** **Gianni Cuomo** Teatrante, ha studiato lettura espressiva per dare tensione narrativa a tutto ciò che legge comprese le analisi del sangue. Scrittore e interprete di reading comici e teatrali, è stato definito dalla critica “un caso letterario che non farà mai parlare di sé”. Improvvisa nella vita come sul palco grazie all’improvvisazione teatrale e si presenta anche come MC di stand-up comedy perché oggi è di moda. **Mateo Çili** Attore, regista di teatro e cinema, insegnante di recitazione, autore cinematografico, musicista e poeta albanese. Le sue radici balcaniche gli hanno permesso di attecchire in ogni ambito artistico nel quale si sia cimentato e dato che la stand-up comedy non fa eccezione. Recita poesie piene di memoria e risentimento accumulati negli anni in cui ha vissuto in Italia. **Daniele Bedon** Dipendente pubblico, autore di articoli sportivi, comico. Difensore dello stoicismo autentico, però che fatica. Prova ad andare d’accordo con tutti, però che fatica. **Lo spettacolo sarà gratuito.** Slow Mill è gestito dall’Associazione “Dora e Pajtimit” APS. Il tesseramento all’Associazione, del costo di 5€ (con un drink incluso), è obbligatorio e ha la durata di 1 anno. Per il pre-tesseramento: **[bit.ly/sociodep](http://bit.ly/sociodep)**

**Looking to meet new people in Milan?** **Join us every Friday for a relaxed international aperitivo** where travelers, locals, expats and students come together to share stories, cultures and good conversations. This isn't a networking event and it's not a language class. It's simply a social evening designed to make meeting people easy. We'll have conversation starters, language exchange moments, sharing music from around the world, and plenty of opportunities to learn something new about the people around you. Whether you come alone or with friends, **you'll find a welcoming group** and a relaxed atmosphere. Some nights turn into deep conversations about life and travel, others into laughter over cultural differences and unexpected friendships. Bring your curiosity, your favorite stories and maybe even a song recommendation from your country. **Every Friday, 6:30 PM – 9:00 PM** 📍 QUO Bar – Porta Romana, Milan Come for the aperitivo. Stay for the people.

**Start February energized!** Open your eyes, heart and soul and lose yourself in the eyes of a stranger for one minute. Explore a sense of belonging within our community while enjoying a moment of connection with a fellow human being. ►𝗪𝗛𝗬 Explore and express who you are: A human being. 𝗧𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝘄 When someone approaches us on the street, sometimes there is an incentive to sell something in particular. Yet, in this event, you have the unique opportunity to experience how we connect with each other without any intention. Here, you can feel truly being seen and understood. Experience the joy of human connection. 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 Eye contact is a simple form of meditation that allows you to observe your thoughts and feelings with much more clarity. This so called awareness is your gateway to a joyful life. Experience a day full of curiosity, peace and presence. 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 For some of us, looking into the eyes of someone can be a difficult, daunting task. Yet it is proven that people looking into the eyes of others are perceived as more confident. This skill can be trained like a muscle. In other words, you are going to feel much more comfortable around other people. Learning this skill can be useful in holding a public speech, a company meeting, at dating or talking with your friends and family. 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝘆𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝘇𝗲𝗿𝘀 Meet open-minded, positive people and connect with all kinds of them. Experience acceptance free of any judgement. Find a safe place where we see commonalities over differences. We are all part of the same family. 𝗕𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 Nowadays, we are glued to our phones and social media. We, almost by accident, learned to avoid contact with fellow human beings where the generation before us used to have conversations with strangers while riding the tram, bus or train. Many friendships and romantic relationships used to stem from these casual interactions in public life. Let’s solve the problem of the increasing sense of division, isolation and loneliness by coming together and be truly present and communicate with each other, verbally and non-verbally. ►𝗛𝗢𝗪 Choose someone, offer this person to sit in front of you and make yourself comfortable. Bring a blanket or something similar to comfortably sit down. Alternatively, you can do the eye gazing while standing. Look into each others eyes for a minute (or even longer). Enjoy the silence and observe what happens. Expect nothing, yet be open for everything. ►𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 The eye contact experiment is a beautiful and powerful experience that… • offers you to explore human connection through non-verbal communication. • can make your day, and for some people even change their life. • brings people together. ►𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡 19th January, from 6:00pm until 8:00 pm. ►𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 Giardini Indro Montanelli Via Palestro, 14, 20121 Milano MI https://maps.app.goo.gl/BHc5ZRpMBBPZJ6iy5 Not sure where we are?

[ITA] Domenica 21 faremo squadra per una serata speciale! 🤝 Unisciti a me per un turno di volontariato presso la mensa della Fondazione Fratelli di San Francesco. ​La mensa non è solo un posto dove si distribuisce cibo, ma un rifugio sicuro basato sulla dignità, l'ascolto e il calore umano. La domenica sera è un momento in cui c'è tantissimo bisogno, perché molte altre strutture in città sono chiuse. ​Cosa faremo? Il cibo viene preparato dai cuochi nella cucina accanto, quindi noi non dovremo cucinare. Il nostro compito sarà fondamentale per la gestione della sala: ci porteranno tutto l'occorrente e noi ci occuperemo di allestire lo spazio prima dell'inizio e poi faremo il servizio diretto di distribuzione della cena agli ospiti. ​Non serve alcuna esperienza precedente: faccio volontariato qui da anni, vi spiegherò tutto io sul posto e faremo il turno insieme dall'inizio alla fine! ​📍 Dove: Via Saponaro, 40, Milano ⏰ Quando: Domenica 21, dalle 17:00 alle 20:00 ​📋 Adempimenti importanti: Prima di iniziare il servizio, è obbligatorio compilare una liberatoria che dovrò inviare alla responsabile della struttura. Ti contatterò privatamente per mandartela! ​⚠️ Nota importante sulla presenza: I posti per questo evento sono contati e preziosi. Se ti iscrivi e poi non ti presenti o disdici all'ultimo, toglierai il posto a un altro volontario e metterai in difficoltà il servizio della mensa. Iscriviti solo se sei sicuro al 100% di partecipare. Grazie per la collaborazione! ​[ENG] This Sunday 21st, let's team up for a meaningful evening! 🤝 Join me for a volunteering shift at the Fratelli di San Francesco soup kitchen. ​This place is much more than just distributing food; it’s a safe haven built on dignity, listening, and human warmth. Sunday evening is a very busy time since many other facilities in the city are closed. ​What will we do? The food is prepared by the chefs in the kitchen next door, so we won't be cooking. Our role is key to managing the dining hall: they will bring us everything needed, and we will set up the space before the service starts and then serve dinner directly to the guests. ​No prior experience is needed! I have been a volunteer here for years, so I will guide you through everything and we will do the whole shift together. ​📍 Where: Via Saponaro, 40, Milan ⏰ When: Sunday 21st, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM 💬 Language: A basic understanding of Italian is helpful to interact with the kitchen staff, but I'll be there to help and translate for you! ​📋 Important Requirements: Before starting the shift, you must fill out a liability waiver/release form (liberatoria) which I need to forward to the center's manager. I will message you privately to send it over! ​⚠️ Important Note on Attendance: Spots for this event are limited and very valuable. If you sign up and then change your mind at the last minute or don't show up, you will take away the spot from another volunteer and impact the kitchen service. Please RSVP only if you are 100% sure you can make it. Thank you for your cooperation! ​[ESP] ¡Este domingo 21 nos uniremos para una tarde muy especial! 🤝 Acompáñame en un turno de voluntariado en el comedor social de la Fondazione Fratelli di San Francesco. ​El comedor no es solo un lugar donde se distribuye comida, sino un refugio seguro basado en la dignidad, la escucha y la calidez humana. El domingo por la tarde es un momento de gran necesidad, ya que muchos otros centros de la ciudad están cerrados. ​¿Qué haremos? La comida la preparan los cocineros en la cocina de al lado, por lo que nosotros no tendremos que cocinar. Nuestra labor será clave para la gestión del comedor: nos traerán todo lo necesario y nos encargaremos de preparar el espacio antes del inicio y luego haremos el servicio directo de distribución de la cena a los asistentes. ​No se necesita experiencia previa: llevo años siendo voluntario aquí, ¡así que yo les explicaré todo allí mismo y haremos el turno juntos de principio a fin! ​📍 Dónde: Via Saponaro, 40, Milán ⏰ Cuándo: Domingo 21, de 17:00 a 20:00 h 💬 Idioma: Un conocimiento básico de italiano es útil para interactuar con el personal de la cocina, ¡pero yo estaré allí para ayudarte y traducir! ​📋 Requisitos importantes: Antes de empezar el servicio, es obligatorio rellenar un documento de exención de responsabilidad (liberatoria) que debo enviar a la responsable del centro. ¡Te escribiré por privado para enviártelo! ​⚠️ Nota importante sobre la asistencia: Las plazas para este evento son limitadas y muy valiosas. Si te apuntas y luego no asistes o cancelas a última hora, le quitarás el sitio a otro voluntario y perjudicarás el servicio del comedor. Por favor, apúntate solo si estás 100% seguro de asistir. ¡Muchas gracias por tu colaboración!

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD

We are bringing Microsoft Build sessions to Columbus Ohio! The Central Ohio Azure Meetup and Central Ohio .NET Developer's Group (CONDG) are coming together to bring some of the labs and breakouts from Microsoft Build to your backyard. In this free, 1 day event, you are going to Build stuff with us! And yes, there will be free food. Please RSVP via [Microsoft Build //localhost:columbus | Microsoft Reactor](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/reactor/events/27247/).

This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way.

It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
