@Matti Järvinen There must be, but I can't remember one...
There's an episode where the person investigating pretended to get poisoned to out the killer, but that wasn't tea.
Another random KY-TV line from the archives of my memory: they did a pretend bit of a commercial tv station where the 'still to come' bit was its own thing, resulting in the announcer saying 'Still to come, still to come. But first, still to come.'
Decades later I'm still laughing about that one.
It was a fictitious new commercial tv station, owned by Sir Kenneth Yellowhammer. They said they tried to call the station SKY-TV, but that turned out to be already taken.

Watching Jessie Buckley in Men. I don't see many films in the cinema, most only when they come out on streaming, but by that time the buzz and the marketing has gone and you're not reminded of it. So that's why I only see this one from last year now.
I've seen Jessie earlier in the tv (mini) series Taboo, War and Peace, The Woman in White and The Last Post, where she always impresses. Especially maybe Taboo.
An A24 film, available on Amazon Prime.

It started off so normal, like a nice stroll through the English countryside.
I like how films can be different like this, using all the tools in the box to tell their thing, without constraints of expectations.
On a side note, it struck me that she did nothing wrong: leaving unhealthy situations, drawing lines. To the extreme the film has her always make the wise choice. Except maybe the one thing that she went to the countryside to deal with her grief.
Jessie Buckley is amazing in this film.

US people: Jenna Ortega is hosting Saturday Night Live tonight!
In trying to find out whether I could see it in Europe (answer: no), I found that Jenna's appearance on Fallon (The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon) is repeated today and tomorrow on CNBC Europe (one of her two visits). So set your recorders! (Yes, I'm old. Yes, I have a recorder and have set it.)
I also found that old seasons of SNL eventually end up on HBO Max, so I've already set my alert on Jenna's episode.

What I do like about the BBC though, is that you can go to the BBC news site and get a fair overview of the incredible mess the BBC is in at the moment and how they are mishandling things.
I think the problems started a few years ago, when the policy was introduced that BBC employees were not allowed to voice their own opinions on their own social media. Some incidents have happened since that didn't get the attention it gets now. But I guess the major presenter of a major show (and a white man) being fired for running foul of the policy finally has everybody up in arms. I'm glad to see other presenters pulling out of their respective shows in solidarity.
The opinion in this case was as I understand that the government's asylum policy is cruel. Which it is.
Part two of the fourth season of You is now available on Netflix. Also, I have no volleyball to go to this evening. These two events nicely combine.
Amy-Leigh Hickman was already great in part one, I have high expectations for part two...

Just back from Scream VI:
Wow!
This is by far, by far, the best film of the franchise. Jenna Ortega is amazing. The whole cast play their characters amazingly. The script includes proper characters unlike some horror films. Even if you're not into horror or slashers, this is still a big recommendation from me.

These companies: "Oh, do we have to support women the whole year? Not just this one day?"
Proposal: no-one (and no company) is allowed to send cheery “Happy International Womens Day” messages if they have, in the past year, belittled women, ignored them, done nothing about their gender pay gap, mansplained anything or put women on a pedestal. We see you and we see your hypocrisy. Stop it. #IWD #women
Doing the final one Wednesday per Wednesday, episode 8 of my fourth run-through. Getting ready for the pre-premiere of Scream VI later this evening. It's a Jenna Ortega day...
Scream VI is released in Dutch cinemas tomorrow, Thursday 9 March. In the US it is released Friday.

I've been watching the Scream films to get ready for the release of Scream VI this week. Now I'm rewatching the fifth film, Scream, the one with Jenna Ortega, from my 4k disc. Last year I saw this film in the cinema and it was my first experience seeing Jenna on the big screen, which is even more impressive.
Of course I'm going to see Scream VI in the cinema too! The US release is this Friday, the Dutch release is one day earlier but our prerelease is this Wednesday already.

For those of you, like me, watching America’s rapid descent into fascism in abject horror from the sidelines in Europe, remember: where America goes, the West soon follows. If we don’t like where that is, we must do better than doing the same things and hoping for different outcomes.
What I’m saying is America is a warning, not an instruction manual.

#MelissaBarrera #KeepBreathing
I really liked Keep Breathing. Melissa Barrera is really good as basically the only character this series follows. She is Liv, a woman who survives a plane crash in the middle of nowhere, then has to keep surviving.
I like that each episode is a bit different. I also like that Liv is not portrayed as some sort of survival expert or that the risks and problems are played down. Liv is just a resourceful, determined woman but like any city person she doesn't know what she's doing out there.
What makes the series different from just that idea of survival, is that they keep tying it back to life before the accident and to her youth.
#MelissaBarrera #KeepBreathing
In one of the flashbacks to Liv's youth, there was essentially a mini-survival that prepared her for being lost alone in the forest. Her mother was supposed to pick her up from a girl scouts event, but of course didn't, so after a long wait she had to try to walk home, navigate the jungle that is New York without any preparation or help. After a long walk, she reaches home and falls into the arms of her father. It's this memory that drives her as an adult in the forests of Canada and tells her she can do it.
She also finds that what she learned in the girl scouts is not as easily applicable in reality as she thought at the time. E.g. how are you going to magnetise a compass needle, did you bring your big magnet?
Just back from watching Bed Rest in the cinema. Maybe I shouldn't have seen this at midnight, it's seriously scary. Melissa Barrera is really good as the lead, a pregnant woman who has to stay in bed and finds it a mental challenge. Melissa also produces the film.
A comparison with Rosemary's Baby is unavoidable with such a synopsis, but I like the psychology of the woman better in this one. She's highly capable, strong, independent, and reasons for her state of mind go further than being pregnant. It's just the character of the man I didn't like.
That first scene, where she quickly sorted out the renovation her husband was stressing about, immediately set the tone. His non-acknowledgment of that, too.
Next week, it's Melissa again, but together with Jenna Ortega, as Sam and Tara respectively in Scream VI.

Dear #fediverse,
Do I know anyone that knows someone working in computer usability, particularly accessibility for elders?
Discussing an important challenge with a friend; how do we get folks with cognitive impairments, like dementia and Alzheimer’s, to recognize visitors via telepresence? After many reminders that the “lady on the tv nurse isn’t taking to you”, this population is having a hard time believing that the person on the laptop screen is really there to talk to them.

I'm at episode 7 of 8 of my one Wednesday per Wednesday rewatch, which I think is my fourth run through of the series. I guess next week will be a double dose of Jenna Ortega.
Everytime at the beginning of the week, Netflix mails me the 'Don't forget to finish Wednesday!' email and I'm like, is it Wednesday already? No? Chill.

in reply to Molly White • • •The whole piece argues that the feature "was never designed to help companies silence legitimate protests", and that it could clearly be used that way was just a wild misunderstanding by us crazies rather than something Feedly themselves advertised.
At no point do they ask Feedly CEO Edwin Khodabakchian to address the fact that the tool is not only surfacing union strikes, boycotts, and "legitimate protests" (as he puts it), but was explicitly marketed for its abilities to do so.

in reply to Molly White • • •I find myself more amused than upset. Their product almost certainly can't solve either set of use-cases. The use-cases they're claiming are ones where you definitely wouldn't trust a LLM for predictions. Even most political scientists would argue over whether and how you can predict political violence.
As for the rest, the Pinkertons left that business decades ago, I can't imagine it's that lucrative. It would be like running a private detective agency in East Germany...
Molly White
in reply to Noah Cook • • •Noah Cook
in reply to Molly White • • •That's what I mean, I doubt they can determine the relevancy.
Political protests are fairly common in many countries. Some places joke that you can't tell the difference between a protest and a soccer match. Other countries almost never see protests.
I guess I just think that if an LLM can really figure out which incident will spark an intifada, that would have profound implications, but it would also be a highly extraordinary claim, that's all I mean.
