         <p>I really like the name of this thing. <em>Planet</em>. You can just… download the whole planet. This is how far we've come as a society. Why stop at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKJDk2w11H4" target="_blank">downloading a car</a> when you can download a planet?</p>

+        <p>The RSS Advisory Board, the entity that has been publishing and updating the <a href="https://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification" target="_blank">RSS 2.0 specification</a>, has been mostly inactive for many years. Fairly recently, Rogers Cadenhead started posting again on <a href="https://www.rssboard.org/" target="_blank">their blog</a>, and even more recently, they opened <a href="https://mastodon.social/@rssboard" target="_blank">a Mastodon account</a>. You can follow <a href="http://feeds.rssboard.org/rssboard" target="_blank">the board's blog</a> or <a href="https://mastodon.social/@rssboard.rss" target="_blank">its fediverse account</a> using your feedreader of course.</p>
+        <p>Just as I noticed this, it turns out that <a href="https://www.rssboard.org/news/220/rss-advisory-board-just-turned-20" target="_blank">the board has turned 20</a> just a few days ago. Happy birthday!</p>
+        <p>Discovering this also made me find out that Dave Winer is also on the Fediverse, and is <a href="https://w3c.social/@davew@mastodon.social/110559652591295897" target="_blank">just as bitter as he is rumored to be</a>.</p>
