Here's an example of one of Ziltch's stories:
I don't know ASL, so am quite curious how the signer manages to communicate the story?
Ziltch (Terry Foy is his non-stage name) has several stories he presents each year at the Renaissance Faires around the country. I've attended his shows since high school, every time he comes to town. He's hilarious!
The term "Spoonerism" comes from Reverend William Spooner who had a speech impediment which embarrassed him greatly but made him a favorite speaker of his students. Students who were not in his classes would attend his lectures in the hopes of hearing one of his "Spoonerisms" when he switched syllables unintentionally. "The queer old dean" instead of "the dear old Queen", for example.
The 30-year hunt to find the Priscilla, Queen of the Desert bus: ‘My jaw was on the ground’
"I’ve heard it so many times – ‘I’ve got the bus!’ – that it gets boring,” says Stephan Elliott, the director and writer of The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. When the History Trust got in touch to see if he could help verify the bus’s authenticity, he was sceptical.
“But I was astonished when they showed me the photos,” he says. “I said, ‘There’s two things I need to see: the carpet and if there is a side-railing on the roof.’ They sent more photos and I immediately said, ‘That’s it. You got her.’ My jaw was just on the ground.”
The 30-year hunt to find the Priscilla, Queen of the Desert bus: ‘My jaw was on the ground’
Not long after the 1994 film became a smash hit, the titular bus disappeared. Where did it go? Who had it? And could it be recovered before it was too late?Sian Cain (The Guardian)

Hey #believeinfilm friends,
I've been working on an insane amount of film development this past couple of weeks; thus, I couldn't be very active here. Also a bit tired of social media.
However, there are some news (ish) that I feel obligated to share:
Fujifilm Superia X-Tra, an ISO 400 colour 135 film has been discontinued.
In the post (above) I explain why it's unexpected this time and what I hoped to hear from the company instead.

Microsoft has finally unbundled Teams with Office 365 in their subscription model...
In 2021, we filed an anti-trust complaint with the European Commission and created a coalition with our demands for an anti-competitive market.
Unfortunately, similar to the “malicious compliance” shown by Apple, it is more to get the regulators off their backs than a real stop to their anti-competitive behaviour 🕵🏽♀️

“#NathanSchneider has the patience and fortitude most of us lack. He’s identified a phenomenon he calls “#ImplicitFeudalism’ - the bias to build our online and real #communities as #fiefdoms, and how this has made us more tolerant of similarly autocratic CEOs and politicians. He’s even optimistic and energetic enough to see how the blockchain could be employed to distribute #governance in a more democratic fashion.”

La gentrificación digital
Por José Heinz
Dejar en manos de algoritmos nuestras elecciones, sumado a la abrumadora cantidad de contenido que se produce todo el tiempo, está creando una cultura de consumo que no se permite la experimentación o el desborde para no quedar invisibilizada.

Financial constraints to living & working in Washington, D.C. likely define & reinforce the community of people able to stay long enough to achieve senior positions, leading to a policy-making community distinct from the American public.

So what? "Misperceptions & blind spots among decision makers may occur, in part, because their lived experiences primarily reflect those from communities with the resources required to maintain influential roles."

and this is exactly why we shouldn’t be leaving such decisions up to such people in the first place.
And it’s not how the system was designed.
So the problem is not that there’s a lack of diversity among the decision makers. The problem is that these people should not be making such decisions in the first place.
