Why would it insert this horrible image(*) in the blog post preview when the post has no images of its own. Why can't it just leave the preview without an image? I've disabled that WordPress plugin for now.

(*) A certain blue bird logo.

Starting a rewatch of His Dark Materials, all the way from series one, because series three starts soon. This was the first time I saw Dafne Keen and the reason I watched Logan. I think most people will have seen her in Logan first and be very impressed by her and the intensity of the character, but also seeing her first in His Dark Materials impresses a lot.

Watching it on HBO Max instead of my blu-ray, because views count in this day and age. Production and tv companies really look at views and social media engagement to decide who to hire, what kind of show to commission. Record companies look at number of likes whether to finance a tour. Casting people look at imdb rankings, which are based in part on searches. It's unfair, but to support your faves, engage.

Can we have a House of the Dragon prequel series? A Game of Thrones prequel prequel. Then Milly Alcock can play Rhaenyra again. I've finished the series now and I'm not sure I'm looking forward to it continuing in this timeline.

Wednesday episode 1x04
That dance in episode four that Jenna choreographed herself is so amazing, that I'm thinking she is not only going to be awarded the Emmy for her performance as Wednesday Addams, which seems a given at this point, but maybe also for the choreography.

I guess it's going to be a weekend of doing some WordPress stuff. Writing a post, but also finding out how and if the block-theme works and setting up a multisite install for real.

Putting it out here so it will feel as more of a failure if I don't. Since I was going to do it last weekend...

Ok, only did the first thing and then got into a wordpress-plugin-rabbit-hole.

Don't like how these radio stations here in my country are pushed to play dutch rap, or as I call it, drap.

Dancing is one of my favorite things to do. Along with gravedigging, conducting autopsies, and glaring uncomfortably.


Got reminded of doing a training a few years back where the trainer, from South Africa, was presenting slides, made in the US, while she would dramatically stop and apologise profusely for the spelling mistakes whenever American spelling appeared in the slides.

I've been informed my electricity bill will rise from 53c to 40c and I guess I'm misunderstanding the full picture.

Ah, it had risen from 8c to 17c then 22c and is now 53c, would rise to 83c next year but will be capped at 40c. Yet, I apparently use such a small amount of electricity, that in the most recent yearly bill I got money back. Also, the specification of past year shows that of the electricity they delivered to me, 100% was wind energy, so yay!

Wednesday is out. Thank you to everyone involved/everyone who was supportive throughout the process. I hope the show is an easy, entertaining watch if you’re up for it. Enjoy the holiday. If you do watch, argue with people about it. You all are going to be arguing tomorrow anyway

I'm three episodes in and it's so so good! Jenna is amazing, striking exactly the right tone to let a character like Wednesday Addams lead the story and draw you in.

It was totally amazing. I want a season two. It's showing such great judgement by Jenna Ortega of presenting exactly the right kind and amount of internal torment to hook you on the character and the story, while also being true to the version we know who had her emotionless one-liners as a support character but which wouldn't work for leading eight episodes. This works. But we know, and many people say it, Jenna always delivers.

Actually, either there's some weird perspective thing going on, or she's standing on something under that dress because it looks much taller than she is.

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?

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.

How Jenna Ortega Became Wednesday Addams

When Jenna Ortega got an email from Tim Burton to play Wednesday Addams, she thought it was a prank since the actor has been compared to Wednesday for most of her life.

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.

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.

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
