Great to hear that #tumblr is going ahead with trying #indieweb integration. When I first saw them posting that, they confused indieweb with Mastodon, so I didn't have much faith. Now they seem to know indieweb and activitypub are two different and interesting targets to connect with.

I mean, WordPress can already do indieweb with the right plugins and tumblr sort of is WordPress these days... (well, owned by)

There was a time when a politician's position could become 'untenable'...

Now, e.g. in the UK, a Prime Minister can take 'full responsibility' and then nothing happens. Other ministers can have reports published confirming they bullied staff, or wholly mismanaged an evacuation, and nothing happens.

There was a large spot of dirt on a chair on the balcony that I cleaned off with a cloth. Then the dirt, while on the cloth while in my hand, spread its wings and flew off. Made me jump a bit.

I hope it's ok. It landed on the window, where it still is now. It looks undamaged.

I guess I was already old when I was a child. Or at least it seems that way.

A lot of what you're supposed to get up to when you're a child or teenager involves interacting with other people. So if you don't really know how to do that, what remains is what old people do, just going from one day to the next.

There have been enough Someone should do something-days that I know that ultimately nothing will get done and I'm at a loss how to change it. Yet again many children have died in the US, very young ones this time, again. But the majority of elected leaders in that country are of the opinion that guns are more important than those children's lives, so it doesn't seem they will change anything.

It seems a typically American problem, but I guess one possible solution is the same as in other democracies: make it clear as a voter that you have your red lines. It's all good weighing different parts of someone's political stance and stepping over some things in favour of other things, but if you step over them allowing children being murdered, at least know who and what you are.

There's this group that's so anti-abortion that they allow themselves to support candidates that cause children's deaths. You are seen for what you are.

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.

Just some things today on my computer...

It has been 0% for hours now, I'm ignoring it.

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)

Turns out that if someone uses the move-account function on Mastodon, their Mastodon followers get transferred nicely, but if you're a follower on Friendica and/or Pleroma you have to re-follow them yourself.

(I'm sorry for the multiple follow requests from multiple accounts...)

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.
