Geeky action du jour: importing #TheRealists blog posts into a #Notion database — so that I can potentially get interesting insights thanks to its new Q&A feature 👩🏻💻
(inspired by @crumbler and his brilliant use of Notion)

Could some theme park malfunctions in Orlando actually be ghostly pranks? According to some Walt Disney World employees, a spirit named George haunts the Pirates of the Caribbean ride and will make it break down if no one wishes him a good morning that day. #FolkloreSunday
John O’Nolan, founder of Ghost, makes a post asking for feedback on federating Ghost with ActivityPub. Please share what you write in the survey! #ActivityPub#Ghosthttps://tally.so/r/m67X4P
I forgot to #MayTheFourth post the first #selfie i ever took. I'm wearing my brand new #StarWars t-shirt (that's Luke's lightsaber you see). Photo taken with a pinhole camera that came on a box of #CocoaPebbles.
This is also what my #ghost will look like when i come back to do some #haunting
Danny Robins will be criss-crossing America, from New York to New Orleans, to interview witnesses about experiences that seem to defy logical explanation, with help from a new team of US paranormal experts and sceptics.
Only now realizing there's and open source alternative Ghost that's like Substack. And there's some talk about Ghost joining ActivityPub. I think if it happens it will be nice, even if I was not even know it existed up until today.
With its long-form Articles feature (for Premium+ users), #Twitter is going after not just #Substack, but also blogs. This worries me because it might actually work. This level of centralization won't be healthy, because it actually prevents innovation and experimentation for building better reputation systems. We will be stuck with Twitter's algorithms for a long time.
A lot of action is happening in this space lately. #Meta launched #Threads , #Ghost is going to federate over #ActivityPub , #Mastodon is becoming a US non-profit (with a Twitter co-founder on the board).
An open publishing network - now THAT is exciting!
