Post from @rabble on why he's chosen to use #Nostr and not #ActivityPub and the #Fediverse. He makes some compelling points. Personally I am not too worried about the server admin parts of his argument (I have enough control, even if I don't control the server), but I agree that this isn't ideal:
"You can’t use a single fediverse identity with your profile and followers in Peertube, Mobilizon, WriteFreely, and Pixelfed. You need a totally separate account in each one."

'In the 1920s, an American professor named Ivan Wallin (1883–1969) published a string of articles and a book about mitochondria. Wallin’s day job was teaching anatomy to medical students at the University of Colorado, but he was also fascinated by cell biology. Over the course of a decade, Wallin forged the concept of “symbionticism,” whereby speciation in animals and plants is triggered by the acquisition of bacterial symbionts. Wallin believed that mitochondria were such symbionts and had evidence to prove it—his publications included camera lucida drawings of “mitochondria” growing happily on agar plates!'

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)
