New Yorker spent thousands, 50 hours traveling just to see Moo Deng — twice: ‘I am absolutely in love’
NY Post
Everyone loves Moo Deng, but it’s rare that someone would cross oceans for her — twice.
Molly Swindall fell in love with the baby pygmy hippo at the start of her internet fame — and made multiple trips around the world this month just to see her.
“I am absolutely in love with that shiny, moist potato,” Swindall, 30, told The Post.
“She is fun and lighthearted,” the New Yorker said of Moo Deng, who has a penchant for biting zookeepers and dabbling in “moonwalking.”
“She is adorable, has a strong personality, and she is an absolute joy to watch.”
Swindall revealed that she traveled a total of 21 hours on her first trip on Oct. 1 — 18½ hours of that flying — and without much time off from work. But she kept her trip short: just 30 hours in Thailand, which she said cost her somewhere between $1,000 and $1,100.

For someone with millions of followers across his social platforms, content creator Nick Cassano, aka Nicky Cass, is surprisingly low-key. Although he played baseball throughout childhood and in college (graduating from Montclair State University in New Jersey with a marketing degree), he never dreamed he’d throw out the first pitch for the Yankees and the Mets, let alone chill in his backyard with the Stanley Cup. Those are just a few of the perks that come with being the founder of Nicky Cass Media and filming videos that bring in thousands — sometimes millions — of views.

This is not your mother’s Tupperware party.
I led a successful meeting where I was under a lot of pressure, and afterwards the attendees gave me a lot of praise for it. I did a lot of preparation and am proud of the outcome, but it was only me from my team so my boss has no way of knowing how well I did. If I tell him will it sound like I’m bragging? How do I mention it?
A new drug combo recently approved by the Food & Drug Administration can halt lung cancer in its treacherous tracks — for over 40% longer than previously possible, a wide-ranging trial funded by pharmaceutical giant Janssen showed.
