Great interview and great photo shoot with the great Jenna Ortega in People en Español (it's in English when I open it) about Wednesday, diversity, representation for Latinos and Latinas, using your platform, etc.

This is a podcast interview with Rosie Day, about acting, being a child actress (she started at 4yo!) and growing up with "the good girl complex". She also tells about developing her play Instructions for a Teenage Armageddon and the book she wrote with the same title. She really is a formidable person. I like these people that you hear being interviewed but you only want to talk with them more about what they are saying?

House of the Dragon: it's 25 days later, we can't possibly have these characters played by the same actresses.
in reply to Gidi Kroon

I liked one reviewer who concluded that Daemon must be a vampire.


Two more days to Wednesday and Jenna's face gets everywhere. I don't know what trays these are, it's not the Netflix canteen, is it? From an Instagram story by one of the show's creators.

I finally succeeded in putting the Wordpress media files on S3 and served by cdn, on a test site. This should not have stumped me this much, there's a plugin for it to help and I managed to configure it on Pleroma and PeerTube without the help of a plugin. Maybe these have better instructions...

One of the issues was that the instructions of W3 Total Cache said to give minimal S3 access permissions to the access key but doesn't say what that is, so I did GetObject, PutObject and DeleteObject but that doesn't work. Blog posts acknowledge this and say to just give full permissions. Fortunately AWS had a list and it also needs ListBucket, GetObjectAcl and PutObjectAcl. Even if Acl's are disabled. Just ignore that the test upload doesn't work. Also ignore people who say that the S3 bucket needs to be open to the public.

To prepare for series three of His Dark Materials on 5 December, there's this recap of series one and two on Instagram, with quotes from the cast, including Dafne Keen. (I see what she meant about the dirt...)

Quick black-carpet interview by ET with Jenna Ortega about Wednesday. She really did months of cello and fencing before and during shooting. It's going to be so amazing.

I know Rosie Day is a great actress, but by all accounts she's a great director and producer as well. I still have to see the films she's directed, they're not very available. Her stage play she wrote got rave reviews as well. I do know she's a formidable person, I'm definitely looking out for anything she does.

The photo she posted a while back on Instagram shows what it looks like if you write a stage play just as a dare, then turn out to be really good at it. All five stars.
#RosieDay



Rosie Day is involved in this film-short as the title character Billie. The film-short still needs to be made and needs crowdfunding. The test trailer has just been posted on Instagram by director Safi Tobi and looks great. The funding page is at Indiegogo. Their synopsis there:


"Billie is trying to process her past, then she meets Sophie and everything falls into place."

Subjects cover LGBTQ+ women and mental health.

Three days to go until we can marvel in the brilliance of Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams in Wednesday on Netflix. Here a clip on their Instagram.

It's grating, whether it's in real life or as now fictional, when some organisation congratulates itselves on its diversity and it's all white guys and one woman.

MaryMarasKittenBakery reshared this.



I like that in this extremely old tv series they sometimes write a story where they're trying to find 'the big bad' leader of a crime organisation, passing the secretary many times while investigating their office, ignoring her because she's a woman, then only to find she's the criminal mastermind after all.


Imagine shouting in the void on another field where no one hears you, then the Glastonbury festival moves in there too with all its noise and still no one can hear you.


literally cannot describe what it's like being one of these people who were on mastodon before nov 2022. Imagine if you were chilling in a field with like 20 other people and then suddenly the glastonbury festival swarms in



I hope COP27 will reach some actual results, rather than an excuse to wait until the next one. They're currently in overtime, but seem to have an agreement on a damages fund. Great, but proper action to limit fossil fuels are needed.

in reply to Gidi Kroon

I feel the COP27 has been a failure. We need to stop using fossil fuels, yet this agreement almost seems to do the opposite. The damages fund is a good thing though, even if it is low on detail.

I don't have experience running a Mastodon server, but I notice they are under heavy load at the moment and have much delays. I have experience running a Pleroma and a Friendica server for myself. Based on that, I think if you are going to run a small server for a group of friends or family, please use Pleroma instead. For more users, especially those you don't know personally, you may need the extra moderation tools Mastodon has, but else Pleroma is much lighter. You can also consider Friendica, especially if it's only a personal server.

For costs it should be under €10 per month, maybe €3, depending how you set it up. I have in the past run Pleroma on a €3,50/month node while connected to a busy relay.

We'll get season three of His Dark Materials on 5 December, so the interviews start coming. Dafne Keen is interviewed in Marie Claire about finding the character, how the word 'need' was key in season one and the dirt in this season, and about playing the more grown up Lyra this time. Great photo shoot too.

The iCarly (reboot) season two episode "i'M Wild and Crazy" reminded me of this back story, since they're playing the same game in the episode and Carly is also 'the good one' (or as she feels in the show, the boring one).
#iCarly #MirandaCosgrove

Another week, there were more people there for the live, including the guy who plays their father in the show (Patrick Warburton). They were playing a game of Never Have I Ever, and when the question came up of sneaking out of the window to go to a party your parents had forbidden you to go to, all eyes turned to Mia since her image is a bit of trouble personified (I can't speak for the real her of course). But she never had done that. Slowly they saw that only Miranda had her hand raised, having ever done that before, causing him to say in his deep booming voice: "No! Not the Good One!", which incidentally is literally a line from the show.



I had no idea Anjli Mohindra was also in The Peripheral! Did I forget she announced it, did she not announce it? Probably the former... There's so much news to remember. Anyway, I'm already watching it because Chloë Grace Moretz is the lead and it & she are great.

The Wired interview with Jenna Ortega, the one where they do the autocomplete questions. About upcoming projects, her first film and learning to play the cello.

Yay, I've reached the Mia Serafino episodes of the iCarly reboot! (That's season two). I know her from Crowded where she played Stella, and from Miranda's Instagram because they remained friends ever since.

It's such a confusing post by the YouNetflix account on several media, and confusing many people already, I'm not going to share it. Basically they posted a video with a bunch of dates and now people are thinking those are the dates the episodes are going to come. Reasonable thought. But those are the dates for various teaser clips. S4 part 1 will be 10 February, part 2 10 March. Why is this important? Because Amy-leigh Hickman is in that season!

So scared I got that shitpost joke wrong, I checked it before and after. I think I've got it correct...



crossposting policy
When I reshare a Twitter post from my own feed there, onto this fediverse account, it's only things I would otherwise have posted here anyway but this way it saves me typing it twice. It's not something unattended at all (as proven by the manual resharing), just somewhat lazy. I also leave out stuff that's not fitting for the fediverse.

Great interview with Jenna Ortega, where she talks about Wednesday, creating a character and working together with Tim Burton.

Tsk at reviewers that are surprised that Wednesday Addams is so brilliantly played in the new tv show: it said so right there on the information you received, it says "Wednesday Addams - Jenna Ortega". That's a synonym for "brilliantly played".
#JennaOrtega #Wednesday


Everybody has their own way to look at films and tv shows, either focusing on the story, the director, the meaning, etc. For me it's the way the characters are written and acted.

So I've arrived at the later episodes of House of the Dragon and have a later seasons of Game of Thrones deja-vu. Maybe the characters after the time jumps can be interesting but since they're totally not consistent with the characters as they were before, I'm not into it. It's like Alicent and Rhaenyra have switched bodies, Freaky Friday style.



Actually 'Van Gogh' is pronounced 'Van Gog', but with the letters pronounced as their actual letters rather than as English.

(Regarding previous reshare: sounds close enough...)



What is it called in English when you collect paper (newspapers, etc) for recycling? We call it 'old paper' (oud papier) so I tend to refer to advertising materials as new old paper.


Feel like starting a site about film and dvd releases, but from a purely Dutch perspective only, so I can just say 'not available' on all of them.
in reply to Gidi Kroon

Then after a long adventure involving a vpn or handbrake bypass, change that to 'mostly not available'.
in reply to Gidi Kroon

Yes, it's not all '42' and 'life, the universe and everything' in thhgttg references.


I don't like selfie filters, but won't blame people for what society made them do.
