A young boy has to deal with a bully at school, his mother being ill, a strict grandmother and the annoyance of a monster telling allegories, all the while learning some life lessons.
I didn't really feel this film, maybe because the monster was not very convincing as either a monster or a storyteller. Felicity was as feared not in it enough for my liking.

Scream VI–Jenna Ortega’s next project is sequel to last year’s horror hit
Last year Scream, the fifth movie in the horror series, delivered goofy slasher horror fun with all the right beats, proving once and for all the franchise is here to stay, joining the big moneymak…borg

@borg.com 🪐 fyi She has smaller films coming up to and already filmed: Finestkind, Miller's Girl and Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall.
I like her doing the smaller films. She can still proof herself and she doesn't need the fame.

I don't quite know what it means yet, but Adidas says they haven't done a new label in 50 years, but they are going to and Jenna Ortega is going to be the brand ambassador of it. That's all I know. More to be revealed. This was from an official Adidas press release.

It's #WerewolfWednesday, and I have a story I really wanna share:
In 1691 an 80-something Livonian man named Old Thiess was called to court as a witness in a theft case. As he was sworn in, another witness laughed: "How can he swear a holy oath when everyone knows he is a werewolf?"
The judges immediately forgot about the thief and put Old Thiess on trial. He calmly admitted that yes, indeed he was a werewolf.

My opinion about nude scenes in films: against my own interests I believe that they are always avoidable and the same impressions can be achieved in other ways.
Many actresses are somewhere in their career forced to do a nude (sex) scene. The male actors hardly ever are. To me the purpose seems sales rather than art. I'd wish for films to never include nude scenes and to always use suggestion instead.
In saying who's a good actress and in buying their films I really do not care how famous they are (either way, some people are snobs and ignore those who are famous). It's just that for some people there are way more projects to talk about.
I'm now going to watch my blu-ray of Nina Forever, with Abigail Hardingham. It's a horror film, but it's the middle of the day so hopefully I don't get too scared.
I had known she was a good actress, but when I saw her in a double episode of Silent Witness I was stunned how good that performance was. I mentioned this on Twitter, years ago, and was shocked to get a thank you. Some people don't get praise all the time, even though they should.
On the cover, Abigail is the one on the right, not the eponymous ghost character.

So far the parallels with the Belgian film Daens (1992) are remarkable (that one is about a moment of social change in Belgium involving a priest called Daens). A smart young woman (Maud/Nette) observes hardships while working in a factory, including the brutality, including sexually, by the male supervisor. There's a government committee that will hopefully bring about change, but their hopes are dashed, resulting in an act of great police brutality. Even down to the committee members being ushered away and the policemen being on horseback. Though I must say that Daens did all this much better and I urge people to see that film. Antje de Boeck is truly amazing as Nette.
Anyway, I'm now wondering who will go to Rome for an audience with the Pope... For surely from here on the stories must diverge.

When you see a very unrealistic representation of university life, it's not clear whether it's because of it being a comedy or that we are supposed to think (American) university life is like that.
Also, a group of girls asserting their independence as a sorority by doing exactly what a guy tells them to do? I hope this becomes a plot point later on...
So far, every single character is not being true to themselves, but not really in a comedic way.

I may have written quite some articles for the student periodical in my university days, but here's me letting you in on a secret: almost all of them were filler stories like mentioned in the previous reshare by @Jason Lefkowitz. Though I didn't know the term 'bus plunge story'.
Our periodical needed to be a multiple of four pages, due to how it was printed. And even though it was laid out on the computer (wordperfect, but then laser printed and the pictures glued in by hand), there was only so much whitespace you could remove and articles you could shorten. At some point you realised you were still half a page over and you were just going to have to add content to make it to the next multiple of four.
I wrote so many totally pointless articles, quickly, after the deadline, but before the printer offices closed...

Bought a Wacon drawing tablet today. After some deliberations I went for the cheaper model that is advised for beginner's, since, well, I don't know what I'm doing. But the more expensive models were so much better... and so much more expensive...
I already notice that I've really got to get used to the absolute positioning. I keep using it as a touch pad!
I also realised that in a sense, I already have two other Wacom devices: both my phone (Samsung Note8) and tablet (Samsung Tab S4) have an s-pen, which is the same thing. Especially the Tab S4, using the Pen-Up app, is showing features of the more expensive Wacom models: pressure sensitive, multi touch, tilt(!), and of course its own display...
The Scream VI trailer is out! It looks great. Nice detail is that unlike the previous one where they suggested Tara (Jenna Ortega's character) was the opening kill, here we see her in multiple outfits, so she is in the film for a while. Not so nice is that there is a clip of Tara in trouble that she maybe doesn't survive...
In cinemas in March!

I think the biggest missing feature on Mastodon is the ability to specify how a post is supposed to taste. I know you can describe it in the body of your post or use taste hashtags but it really should be supported on the protocol level and I just can't really see Mastodon getting popular without it.

in reply to Ariadne Conill 🐰:therian: • • •rapunzel can be thought of as an alternative "transport" for activitystreams JSON-LD data.
the actor model, as in activitypub, is replaced with decentralized identifiers based on cryptographic public keys. those public keys can be associated with any number of petnames using WebFinger.
Ariadne Conill 🐰:therian:
in reply to Ariadne Conill 🐰:therian: • • •specifically, in the rapunzel network, messages are:
- *always* encrypted using a CEK (content encryption key) which is itself encrypted to the recipient's public key.
- sent to one or more specified ring logs in a webfinger response.
- optionally published in one or more outbox ring logs: in this case, the message CEK is encrypted to the publisher's public key. this is basically pointless from a cryptographic point of view, but the construction allows us to be consistent re: the OCAP model (e.g. access to the message remains bound to a capability, it just happens to be public)
Ariadne Conill 🐰:therian:
in reply to Ariadne Conill 🐰:therian: • • •ring logs are:
- cryptographically attested logs which can be forgetful. e.g. they can support a quota, where old data is evicted from the ring log to make room for new data.
- merkle trees in the same way git repositories are merkle trees (e.g. messages are like git commits)
- optionally witnessed by trusted notaries: this is intended for people who want to reduce trust in the ring log storage providers they choose, by ensuring that the ring log provider is serving them the same data as the witness.
Ariadne Conill 🐰:therian:
in reply to Ariadne Conill 🐰:therian: • • •there is no traditional authorization to read a ring log.
as messages appended to the ring log are encrypted to the recipient (or are public), only holders of a key able to derive each message's CEK is able to do anything useful with the ring log data.
they are designed to be stored anywhere. by anyone.

in reply to Ariadne Conill 🐰:therian: • • •i've looked at a few of these and the biggest problem i've seen is respecting the individual nodes' resources.
there's some inherent overhead added upon the baseline of a completely centralized system of course, but a lot of projects seem to not factor exactly /how/ much is added into the design.
see: my synapse DB was ~27GB a week ago after existing for ~2 years. my entire znc data dir is 2GB, and it ran for maybe ~3.5 years.
e.g. the CEK key is nice in theory, but if you look at matrix getting it working well seems to be very painful. and similarly, if OCAPs become an actual programmatic construct that could leak into bandwidth/disk space.

in reply to Ariadne Conill 🐰:therian: • • •This sounds like we wouldn't need instances (as in infrastructure+moderation+blocklists) anymore, only "content neutral" infrastructure.
Sounds good. Might turn the "job" of an instance moderator more into a "blocklist curator".
And of course could decouple infrastructure support/maintenance from moderation.

in reply to Ariadne Conill 🐰:therian: • • •Those we know are fit for big clinics, and very hard for the professionals (including "GNU Health").
So we think "how about a social network: after all, a MR is like a blog, once you have that, you just need to analize it to know what you need, and to not know what you don't.
The concept of "consent and autonomy" is at the root of our service, so I think "maybe this people have what we need".
¿Do you think this would be the case whitg rapunzel?
