Happy 29th Birthday Miranda Cosgrove!
Her film North Hollywood is out on blu-ray 9 June (in Europe) and can be preordered. In the meantime, let's celebrate by rewatching her great performances like in Crowded and The Intruders. Also, here are some of her recent Instagram photos.

It's also totally Miranda Cosgrove's birthday today, I was just thinking and posting about her completely unrelated to that.
You may know her as the executive producer of the iCarly reboot (or as singer, or as actress).
Happy 29th birthday Miranda!
Even more reason to rewatch some Crowded today.

Miranda Cosgrove
Miranda Taylor Cosgrove (born May 14, 1993) is an American actress, singer and songwriter. Her career began at the age of 3 with several television commercial appearances.The Movie Database
The use of the 'Moore' family name in tv show in-jokes. In the zombie-show, iZombie, the zombie character played by Rose McIver was called Olivia ('Liv') Moore. Miranda Cosgrove played Carly Shay in iCarly, then her next big show she was Shea Moore in Crowded.
(It's my head cannon that Shea grew up watching iCarly and having Carly as role model)
Remembering that time when Miranda Cosgrove and Mia Serafino were doing an hour long live to promote their show Crowded. Also, Miranda's friend had a litter of kittens, so they had gone over there to film. The result was that there was much cooing over kittens and 10 seconds before their show would start they were like 'We forgot to promote the show. Anyway, go watch Crowded!'.
(Great show though, and cute kittens)

In 1989 I was 19 years old, so you'd think that musically this would totally be my era and that the 1989 #AlbumBowl would totally be my music. But none of them.
I think there's a combination of music being even more regionally separated (marketing-wise) than films and the main problem that I just have a weird taste in music.
I'm now wondering where I can find a list of albums by year to check what I listened too.
here is the field for the 1989 #AlbumBowl
Well, there's this list, but it's still very American:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_i…
From that I only get Throwing Muses, 10,000 Maniacs, The The, The Sugarcubes and of all things, Transvision Vamp. Yes, I own up to that.

The film asks uncomfortable questions about how much someone is allowed to make medical decisions about themselves.
The story and the acting are central here, as films should be. Totally a classic.

A very interesting film that is mainly an online video conversation between the two main characters. They knew each other from when they were little kids playing in a tree house, but now they live far apart and at the end of their high school years he's lonely without any friends and she seems to be a party girl who got it all together. Stuff happens and I may have suspected these exact things to happen, but that doesn't take away from this film being a great watch with great performances.
The film has comments on social media when she helps him setup a Facebook page and get friends ('acquaintances') and when she posts beach photos while grounded ('the internet doesn't know I'm grounded'). I understand it was very interesting for the actors to film the dialogue as a video call, quite different from other films.
Now playing a CD virtually nobody has, not even Tidal or Spotify have it: Alex Parks with "Honesty", from 2005. I have no idea why everybody has forgotten about her, she's so good.
This is her second album. Her first did reasonably well, she was also known from tv in the UK, but this second slipped everyone by.

Though I must admit I never really understand lyrics and am guessing. In the case of Tanya Donelly I've heard it's not really my fault. A lot of her lyrics sound like they're metaphors for some deep stuff, but are instead just things that happened to her that no one could have known.
In some song she describes shiny lights from under the water. What does that mean? Actually, as a kid she did an experiment with coloured (water proof) Christmas lights in the bathtub and liked the way it looked.
"this little squirrel I used to be slammed her bike down the stairs they put silver where her teeth had been baby silver-tooth she grins and grins"? Yes, real event. Indoor bicycle accident as a little girl where she broke her teeth.
These 4AD catalogue numbers are so low, and I have so many of those CDs, I must own a not-insignificant section of their music. Other labels have CD numbers like 4799436548743, while this is number 802.
Is 4AD for music what A24 is for films? I don't know about these things. But strikes me that they both release things that are generally considered good and that nobody has ever heard of.
🧵I was on GMB this morning responding to Katherine Birbalsingh's comments that girls aren't choosing physics at A-Level because they don't like the hard maths and are more empathetic than boys...I had a *lot* more to say but sadly didn't get time.
So here is a thread! 1/14

What to do if you're on mobile and there's a function in the website you're browsing that's accessed by 'just hovering over it'? Well, I don't really know, but some things that help me sometimes:
- If you have an s-pen, you can hover with that
- long tap the item so the context menu pops up. Click outside it so it disappears, the hover popup may also have popped up behind it and still be there. (Works sometimes in Friendica)
- in some circumstances you can tap just long enough for it not to be a click (short tap), but short enough not to be a right click (long tap), but it still brings up the hover popup. (Works sometimes in Pleroma)
- if the thing you wanted to see was alt text (image description), in some browsers like Chrome it will show on top of the context menu. So long tap... If the text is not fully shown, tap on the text and it expands.

More tips in the category of 'forget about the usability, just go with it', but now Amazon Prime Video:
To play a video on your tv, first open the app on your tv, then select your profile, find your series, select the season, find the episode, click ok to play it. Then repeat all previous steps because the app crashed. Always the first time you use it, without fail. Open the app again, select profile, series, season, episode, click ok. This second time it never crashes. Now click ok again to skip the advert. Yes advert, despite paying for a subscription, but you can skip it. Now your episode plays. Happy watching!
Also fediverse things:
Q: where are the adverts?
A: there aren't any.
Q: how do I switch the timeline to newest first?
A: it already is newest first.
Q: what algorithm controls the timeline?
A: none.
Q: do I get to see 'promoted posts'?
A: no.
Q: do I get to see 'posts that have been liked by someone you follow'?
A: no, if they wanted followers to see the post, they would have hit the button to share it with their followers.
Q: if I report a post that bothers me, what automated systems handle those reports?
A: a person does.

I like that they did these promotional things out of the control of the studio. No way the legal department of the studio would have allowed to use the house of an unrelated, non-celebrity, individual.
