Me to myself: remember to not throw coffee over a wooden table.

As if I did that on purpose.

Now this app is claiming 'technical difficulties' when it can't find any matches for me. Wish I thought of that myself, not being able to find anyone and just blaming it on technical difficulties. Like Network Error.

This is why people / I keep ordering from amazon instead of local shops:

Amazon site in my country: Yes, we have this book in stock and can send it to you, free shipping
Main web shop in my country: This book is not released yet. Also, there will be shipping charges
Local book store: You must be kidding, this book does not exist

It's weird and I don't have an idea yet what could be behind it, but somewhere between 19-30 August hashtags stopped being received on posts coming in from some accounts. Doesn't seem to be one server that's the problem, or one hashtag. So far I find some Mastodon accounts that no longer have working hashtags in their posts, but most Mastodon accounts are ok...

Edit: it's the creation time of the post that matters, not the time it is received.
Edit edit: the issue is local to my server; on other servers the same posts, accounts and hashtags work fine.



Vandaag heeft @xs4all de catch-all van de email adressen dus echt uitgezet. Terwijl ze zeiden dat je alleen aliassen moest aanmaken voor je extra adressen, blijken ze ook je hoofdaccount te blokkeren tenzij die op 'xs4all.nl' eindigt.

@gidikroon @xs4all Ik ben voorzichtig optimistisch dat het lijkt dat ik weer kan mailen via mijn iPhone… 🙌 morgen toch maar even bellen. Adres was sinds 14 uur “kwijt” en het zou toch wat zijn als dat vaker gebeurd. 🙃
Sterkte met alles wat jij nog moet regelen!





I forgot how much music does to me. Yes, I'm listening to my @Dove Cameron playlist again. BTW, she's on tour at the moment, for the people in the US.

Now arrived at Ms Dynamite. Yes I have eclectic taste. This is more from my own time. Every one of her words is sharp.

The inability to balance on one leg for 20 seconds or longer is linked in otherwise healthy people to an increased risk of small blood vessel damage in the brain and reduced ability to understand ideas.

This is not a link I was expecting. (I can't do this at all...)

Today I watched episode In Dreams of Fear the Walking Dead (season 6). This focuses on Grace, the character played by Karen David. Such a wonderfully told story, so amazingly performed, so heart wrenching too.

We have known for a while that for our daily commute we needed to switch from fossil fuels to electric power. But who knew that would be more routers and video bandwidth?

I notice Instagram has a slightly different look and feel when you click a video. They had some downtime rolling it out. Not sure it was worth it.




I guess the best screenshot posts are still mainly from tumblr.

.@ChloeGMoretz I just saw #ShadowInTheCloud and your performance is amazing. I'm still shaking... Such a powerful film! Thank you for making films with such an important message.


Here we go with Shadow in the Cloud. It's one of two recent films with Chloë Grace Moretz as lead that I haven't seen yet and I'm rectifying it now.

Wow... Chloë takes being the lead in a film to a whole new level. So much about this film that I can't say because of spoilers. Gender preconceptions are a main theme I guess, both misogyny in institutions like the military, but gender stereotypes in films as well. That ending is probably the most powerful thing ever in a film, never seen before, but we can't mention it...

Fun to find out they were thinking of crediting Chloë for all departments, like lighting, hair, makeup, wardrobe, grip. For over two weeks they shot scenes with her in a cramped space where they couldn't do these things, so Chloë had to do it herself.

Less fun if you realise she's claustrophobic...

My haul for today:

The haul of yesterday actually, arriving piecemeal today with stragglers later this week.

It's been too long that I've seen a new film with Chloë Grace Moretz...

If you're looking for something better to do while facebook is down, I humbly ask you to take a look at my wt.social pilot project. We need good people ready to try something new.


Facebook and Instagram down? I'm posting this from my Friendica, which as all the fediverse it connects to is very much still online... 😉


Facebook / Instagram offline, Friendica / Pixelfed still running. :-)


Jenna Ortega's performance in the final episode of You season 2 is such a tour de force. Rewatched it today and it is amazing.

Of some of my socks the material has gotten so bad from many wash cycles and degraded elastic material, they are now very long. So I am essentially Gidi Longstocking.


Yes I'm watching Richie Rich. I hadn't seen it since it is from a long time ago and Jenna Ortega was very young in it, didn't seem the main priority to watch for me. I'm giving it a chance now and Jenna is so funny in it! Great comedic delivery, I had no idea.
