I'm rewatching Cherry since the first time I saw it the Apple TV+ stream kept having problems and I'm now seeing it in their own (but Android) app, so I have hope it'll be ok this time. So far it's 4k, with surround sound, and without buffering, so yay.

Ciara Bravo is such an underrated powerhouse actress. If you don't know that yet, see this film for proof.

She is so good. Still thinking about this reviewer for a magazine that called her a real discovery in this film. Discovery? She's always been this good for about a decade and if I can know that, a professional reviewer should have too.

I've been waiting so long for this, following along on the socials when they were making it, but I can finally watch Jenna Ortega in The Fallout!

The Fallout

In the wake of a school tragedy, Vada, Mia and Quinton form a unique and dynamic bond as they navigate the never linear, often confusing journey to heal in a world that feels forever changed.

There are some technical issues with HBO Max that means I can't watch it in full resolution and I'd wish it was on the big screen of a cinema. But it'll have to do. I've waited long enough.

Wow.

Jenna Ortega is really the best. You can expect her to deliver the best performance in the world and then she still exceeds that.

This will raise energy prices, certainly. But one could argue that the energy prices should have been higher a long time ago anyway according to supply and demand, when we found out the unsustainable nature of the supply.

Already dislike letterboxd, it only allows me to have four favourite films. That's not compatible with how my mind works...

Turns out the recording of a tv programme on a set-top box is adversely affected by blowing a fuse.

A tip if you're visiting a website that does overuse lambdas and cdn's for cropping and downscaling their images, i.e. every commercial website: right click or long tap the photo, select open in new tab, edit url, remove anything that is like 'width' or 'crop' and hit enter.

Example of doing that. The original photo loads as 681x383 pixels. When you edit the url by clicking the pencil icon, you see the parameters ?w=681&h=383&crop=1. Remove that. Click to load that address instead. You'll see that the non-downscaled photo is also on the site and is much larger: 4541x2564 pixels.
The browser indicates 681x383 pixels
Editing the url, showing the parameters after and including the '?' selected
Still editing the url, but the parameters have been removed and it ends with '.jpg'
The browser now indicates 4541x2564 pixels

Such a waste of storage space for something no-one (but me) ever gets to see. They pay for storage, for the serverless processing and for the cdn to limit the amount of serverless processing.

Interview with Jenna Ortega in WWD about her recent projects. Shame they cropped that great photo by Jonny Marlow in the article; the twitter preview crops it even weirder, so I'll include the uncropped photo you can download from their site.

It's all good rooting for the underdog, but it's not a game.

I'm trying to listen to a podcast, a neighbour is trying to drill holes in concrete. I guess they're winning, or in fact it sounds like the concrete is.

Happy Birthday Georgina Leonidas!

You may know Georgina Leonidas as Miss Molly in The Basil Brush Show or maybe from the Harry Potter films, but here she is as Cousin Maureen in Jessie Cave's Flat White series on YouTube: youtu.be/UtlTilRJotU

The international volleyball association seems to think it's perfectly ok to let the men's world championships happen in Russia this year. The Dutch volleyball association has a very weak response of being 'surprised'.

Some say "but what if we can't buy Russian gas anymore?". Actually, let's fully stop dealing with Russia including not buying their gas. It'll be hard, but it's needed. As silver lining we can use the gas price increases to urgently switch to more sustainable energy consumption.

Yeah. This is the level of support for #Ukraine from the rest of the world, in reality.

We're all really really sorry you got swamped by #Russia, but we have to take care of our own too. Like stock markets. Can't be too strong in any reaction. And our own investments. #Putin might also be annoyed.

For those shocked and annoyed about this post, the critique was towards the rest of the world, as in societies, not individuals. Otherwise I would have said "from people around the world", I guess.

We're basically leaving Ukraine alone because it's a bit too awkward to do anything concrete.

If you're in the US, tomorrow Friday the 25th you can see Studio 666 in the cinema. This is a horror comedy with and by the Foo Fighters in which you can also see Jenna Ortega. Should be fun! I'm so jealous.

This is what happens if you only impose weak, token sanctions. Putin takes it as a sign it's ok to continue his war. We should have zero economic dealings with Russia and a country that so flagrantly violates international law, has no place in the UN Security Council.

Starting to suspect that people going on dates is just a myth perpetuated by the film industry to sell more films. Like the story of the emperor's new clothes, but 'you're not a worthy individual if this dating world seems invisible to you' and everybody going like, that's not me, I'm not that loser. Well, I'm the little boy.

It seems that 2 million pounds buys the UK ruling party and ensures that no more than token sanctions will be imposed.

Putin's invasion of Ukraine seems extremely imminent and I feel so helpless. We should not accept another country to be swept of the map. Any sanctions should be complete and absolute, the Russian regime should be cut off from any international dealings whatsoever. Don't take their gas. Don't include them in any political or economic decision making. Don't do any business at all. And not in that way that it is just a card to play in any future negotiations. We're done with Putin and will not deal with him as long as he's in charge of Russia.

Binged the final (fourth) season of UnREAL this weekend, the series with Shiri Appleby. It was a worthy closing of this amazing show, getting to quite some climax. Two episodes this season directed by Shiri, so that's great too.

I'm not thinking appeasement will work this time either.

"They have either all retired while still teenagers or gone on a break from the sport with no return imminent."

There is something really wrong in (Russian) figure skating.

Shared a photo and video on Instagram and as part of my split social media personality wanted to share it on the fediverse too. Photo went ok on Pixelfed, the video was not accepted. Tried Friendica, failed too. Where oh where to upload a video on the fediverse?

Hang on. I have my own Peertube server. Why didn't I think about that...

Anyway, the share-as-remote-self function of Friendica has now also been tested and works fine.
