Watching Stephanie Leonidas in the episode she filmed in Amsterdam, for Van der Valk, since the dvd arrived.

Rewatching The Fallout since it's just such a good film.

Another thing you wouldn't guess from the trailer is that this film at times is very funny.


Can someone put another quarter into the internet box?


Watching Ciara Bravo in Small Engine Repair. I missed when it was in the cinema in NL, if it ever was, but it's on digital now.
in reply to Gidi Kroon

Can't say more about it, but it's certainly an interesting film.


Me not understanding how the final episode of Doctor Who with Jodie and Mandip ended can be explained by it not actually being the final episode: we're getting another one with them 17 April. And I think another one after that, though I'm not sure.


Just back from watching Studio 666 in the cinema. I knew Jenna Ortega would be in it for only a bit, which was true. Impressive how even in these small moments she delivers and makes the experience intense and captivating.

Season four of You (on Netflix) will have the amazingly talented Amy-Leigh Hickman in it. I'm also hoping we are getting Jenna Ortega back as Ellie, who already showed her extraordinary talents in S2. That would make for the perfect season!

Today Studio 666 is released in Dutch cinemas. This means that currently *three* films with Jenna Ortega are playing in the same cinema each day, as Scream and X are also running!

"Zelensky vraagt: stop met de import van Russische olie en gas.

Dat gaat enorme impact hebben op onze economie, op onze levens.

Maar als het ons echt menens is, als we naast Oekraïne staan, dan pakken we hier op door."

@jesseklaver in debat over de toespraak van @ZelenskyyUa:




"Russia threatens to stop supplying gas if not paid in roubles"

Let them. There are short term, midterm and long term solutions that we should have done ages ago. Let's use this blackmail to actually go ahead and achieve energy independence (from some other countries as well) and save the environment at the same time. It'll cost money, damage the economy, but that's both the price to pay for taking a moral stance to not finance a war, and the cost of acting too late to get our energy consumption in order. It's not as if we didn't know this already.



Reminded that the Chernobyl accident happened when they were doing a test, but at the last moment decided to do the test even more safely than originally planned. I.e. to do the test differently than originally planned... Don't do that.
in reply to Gidi Kroon

"So we planned, prepared and calculated to do this test at full power. Half power must be safer, what even are nonlinear characteristics" (Chernobyl)

"So we prepared and tested to automatically and regularly delete log files on this computer, but we have enough storage, they are only small and who knows we need them anyway, what even are inodes" (a Mars rover)

Edit: in trying to find details for the latter point I can only find info about the Spirit rover running out of disk space due to forgetting to delete old files, so nothing to do with inodes nor with a change of plan. So I guess I was misinformed about that.



Oh wow, apparently Mastodon is going to get editing. I didn't know that. The stuff I miss when I don't follow the developments.

Edit: nothing to edit but I do it anyway for purposes of snark.





On March 24 2009, I wrote my first essay about my harrowing experience as a child model working in the fashion industry.


Republican senators in the US that hear all the evidence, weigh all the information, then come to the conclusion that she's black.


Today is the release of season two of Bridgerton on Netflix. I came to watch season one because of Harriet Cains, Kathryn Drysdale and Phoebe Dynevor and came to love the performances by Claudia Jessie and Florence Hunt as well. So yeah, I'll be watching season two!

Yesterday a carpenter came round to do some work on the kitchen. He asked what work I do. When I mentioned that I made computer programs, he said that he only knew it as being about ones and zeros, but putting them in the correct order. And I guess, he's so right?


All season they're working towards this moment that the big evil throws the whole world into disarray and one double episode later big evil is just 'oh, you don't like it? we'll revert everything'.


Just saw someone posting that they couldn't see a certain film in the cinema since they didn't have anyone to see it with who had the same taste in films. Weird. I can't remember the last time I went to the cinema with anyone instead of going alone. Must be decades ago. Same for concerts.


Christina Ricci has joined Jenna Ortega in the tv series Wednesday for Netflix, where Jenna plays the title character Wednesday Addams and Christina plays another character, not an older version of the same character. This is going to be so great!

Reading between the lines is a very cheap and environmentally friendly means of communication: no ink needed for the message.


Scream 6: 31 March 2023. For if you look ahead that far.

Jenna Ortega is taking over cinemas in my country (NL): Scream is still running, X releases tomorrow (I'm going to the preview today!) and Studio 666 releases 31 March. Oh, and HBO Max launched with The Fallout last week.

So, that was definitely worth watching!

It's also the kind of film where while you're watching it you're already planning to preorder the DVD.





The latest EU Russian sanctions don't stop gas and uranium imports that bankroll Putin's war. Lukoil, Novatek + Rosatom aren't even covered

Europe needs a quick rollout of renewables, energy savings and the exclusion of ALL fossil fuels & nuclear energy

In two days time I get to see Jenna Ortega on the big screen again, this time in X. It's released in US cinemas the 18th, in Dutch cinemas the 17th, but here they even have a preview screening on Wednesday!
#JennaOrtega #XMovie @xmovie #Wednesday


Dying to show you a good time 🔪

@A24 presents #X, from writer-director Ti West and starring Mia Goth, Brittany Snow, @jennaortega, and @KidCudi. Only in theaters March 18

An interesting article about trigger warnings and that they may not help, or even harm. The article is from last year and discusses trigger warnings mainly in the context of material you have to read anyway. But there are more general problems with avoiding triggers mentioned, that it can make someone's ptsd central to their identity and prevent healing.

I'm rewatching Cherry since the first time I saw it the Apple TV+ stream kept having problems and I'm now seeing it in their own (but Android) app, so I have hope it'll be ok this time. So far it's 4k, with surround sound, and without buffering, so yay.

Ciara Bravo is such an underrated powerhouse actress. If you don't know that yet, see this film for proof.

She is so good. Still thinking about this reviewer for a magazine that called her a real discovery in this film. Discovery? She's always been this good for about a decade and if I can know that, a professional reviewer should have too.


I've been waiting so long for this, following along on the socials when they were making it, but I can finally watch Jenna Ortega in The Fallout!

There are some technical issues with HBO Max that means I can't watch it in full resolution and I'd wish it was on the big screen of a cinema. But it'll have to do. I've waited long enough.
in reply to Gidi Kroon

Wow.

Jenna Ortega is really the best. You can expect her to deliver the best performance in the world and then she still exceeds that.




company: thank you for your patience.
me: I explicitly tried to avoid the impression that I had any patience.



We're still buying Russian gas and oil. Let's stop that. Let's stop funding a war.
in reply to Gidi Kroon

This will raise energy prices, certainly. But one could argue that the energy prices should have been higher a long time ago anyway according to supply and demand, when we found out the unsustainable nature of the supply.




This Nature paper concludes that even mild cases of Covid have a substantial impact on risk of heart disease.
It should give pause for thought to all those tennis players and football players yet to be vaccinated.
And, of course, it reminds us once again that Covid is not a cold
