Miranda Cosgrove / CBS's Mission Unstoppable for the International Day of Women and Girls in Science (no autocomplete, not 'in Scotland') on their Instagram, calling to 'Bridge the gap'. The amount of women in science is nowhere near 50% and that has to change.

Happy Birthday Chloë Grace Moretz!
It's her 27th birthday and I'll be celebrating rewatching a recent film of hers, Shadow in the Cloud, from my 4k blu-ray. It's such a powerful performance!

Apparently you can't cancel or change a preorder at Amazon even more than a month before release, despite what they suggest. Chat bot/human just says it already started shipping. I don't believe that, with an estimated arrival listed in April... Is it coming by snail?
Guess I'll have the blu-ray and the dvd then.

Jenna Ortega is going to be in a new film called Klara and the Sun.
Her film Beetlejuice 2 will be in the cinema 6 September 2024.
Both bits of news just shared by Jenna's mother.

Stephanie Leonidas is filming a new film called Marching Powder. She just posted photos from the set.
IMDb says her film A Very Venice Romance was released last year (it doesn't list as available for me) and 5lbs of Pressure is still to come.

Miranda Cosgrove just announced that her film Mother of the Bride will be on Netflix globally on 9 May!

Copied my followed tags into a "Followed tags" channel and copied my followed searches into a "Followed searches" channel. This works quite well. I think this is going to be useful. Channels maybe a quite powerful new Friendica feature.
It's starting to feel like tumblr again, except tumblr would occasionally just delete all tags alphabetically after 'k'.

I notice a difference in my mails shown to me in the Linux desktop app and the Android app. The former shows only one mail, the latter shows all mails that checking via a browser shows. I've checked that the filter is set to 'all emails' for all.
It seems related to the 'local data' setting which for both apps is on the default of one month and all missing mails are older than one month. So I've changed this to 366 days for both clients.
However, the old mails still do not show up in the desktop app. Is there another filter I'm missing?
How can I use the desktop client to see all mails I can see via the browser?
This, about RAM, is a much misunderstood bit about monitoring resource usage.
Also: cpu usage. When someone comes to me with 'panic, panic, your application is using 100% cpu', I'm like 'great, call me when it doesn't', for then there's a bottleneck elsewhere.
I'm not saying there's no such thing as software bloat (there is) but the reason that your computer magically always seems to use 80-90% of the ram no matter how much ram you install is that the computer understands empty ram doesn't do anything but ram being used to cache files makes your user experience much fasterthis is a good thing! if your computer stopped doing this everything would suddenly feel very sluggish and stuttery!

That's the title of this Roswell episode.
The episode has a theme of temptation and giving in to desire and this opening scene with Shiri Appleby captures it so well in the non-obvious way.
That box is tempting...
But why resist?

US people: reminder that Miller's Girl, a film with Jenna Ortega in the lead role, is in your theaters tomorrow. I think it's going to be a good one!
For people in NL like me, we wait until 14 March.

I have the boxset of The Shannara Chronicles, another one of these series they keep disappearing from the streaming services. It features two absolutely great actresses: Ivana Baquero and (from season two) Melise. Both are utterly cool here, which is sort of what this show is about.
Ivana was the little girl in Pan's Labyrinth and also as an adult she impresses a lot. Melise is an actress and singer who previously played 'rock chick' Lucy Stone in Big Time Rush. I was playing one of her songs just today.
Starting my rewatch of the show now.
#IvanaBaquero #Melise #TheShannaraChronicles
It is set in a time after our time, when nature has mostly recovered from us and everything is overgrown with lush forests. The story starts in the Kingdom of the Elves and with a premonition showing the end of times and the destruction of all life.
It takes a while to establish the main characters, in fact you're introduced first to some Elf characters that will not be that important in the long run.
A long time ago I saw the tv series Roswell and loved it. I started watching it for Shiri Appleby, who I knew from Xena, but would probably have watched it anyway. Shiri is nowadays besides a great actress also a great director. She was amazing in Unreal and the episodes she directed were the best.
Starting a rewatch of Roswell now from my boxset.

I'm Liz Parker and five days ago I died. After that, things got really weird.
Love story openings like that.
It's nice to see what a really great lead actress brings to a series. She not only plays her role very well, but she also captures the audience and sets the tone. I think she makes Roswell the warm and interesting show it is.
That her role would be the lead wasn't that obvious. The series is about aliens hiding in Roswell and she is just a human. But I think it works out well, to have human Liz as point of view.

Going to see Emilia Clarke. Not in person, she will be on a big screen. The Pod Generation is finally arrived in my country (NL). Release this Thursday, but prereleases all over the country this week.
Looked great in the trailer and it's always great to see Emilia.

So many people in reviews annoyed that the film raises questions but doesn't provide answers and I'm annoyed at those reviews. Firstly, films don't have to provide answers, you can think for yourself, after the film explored the concepts. Secondly, I think this film does provide the answers, just not in an obviously hammered home way where the plot literally gives the answer, but the conclusions the film makers draw are clear from how it affects the characters. I didn't know film watchers had gotten so lazy.
Also there's a mid-credits scene about the big tech aspect, so don't go running to the toilet just yet.

Based on the kind of story you'd expect this film to be cheesier than it is. Instead, India Eisley acts her character Sawa so realistically, it's as if a real-life young assassin with amnesia has stumbled upon the film set and is trying to make sense of the clues she finds, hell-bent on exacting revenge on things in her past she can't quite remember. Some other bits of the film may live up more to the original expectation.
I disagree with the blu-ray cover image's suggestion that she doesn't play the lead character. But big names and all that.

The Silent Witness episodes (Flight part 1 and 2, 19x03 and 19x04) where Abigail Hardingham guest starred were on tv again recently and I'm watching them now. I am again reminded what a brilliant actress she is despite being hardly known. Unlike other guest roles in this series, hers is really a leading role and she's taking us through all the twists and turns of the story.
May I also recommend her in Nina Forever, a horror film with a difference.

I'm doing a rewatch in honour of Dafne Keen's birthday last Thursday. The Acolyte is not out yet and Ana is still not showing anywhere on streaming in my country, so it'll be an episode of His Dark Materials. Episode 1x05 is the one I like to watch. Where Dafne shows that Lyra being brave doesn't mean she isn't scared.
#DafneKeen #BirthdayRewatch #HisDarkMaterials
Today's Dafne Keen's birthday. Happy Birthday Dafne!
Normally I celebrate by (re)watching something, but due to family things today and work things tomorrow, that's going to be Saturday.

Love the ending and what it says. (But telling would be spoilers)
