I really like this photo that Rachael Leigh Cook just posted of herself on Instagram. Such a gorgeous smile. Most people will know her from She's All That, Josie and The Pussycats and the tv series Perception. Reading through her imdb just now I came across more titles I have seen and am thinking how I can rewatch those.

Rewatching Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season one and I had forgotten what the name of Chloe Bennet's character was in this season. She's had a few.

Will there finally be a story in a film or tv episode where the female character at the end of it doesn't choose between the male characters on offer, but just says no I have better things to do with my life than marrying the least worst option.

Though I was watching an Agatha Christie story so I guess she should be happy they all survived.

Watching Stephanie Leonidas in the episode she filmed in Amsterdam, for Van der Valk, since the dvd arrived.

Rewatching The Fallout since it's just such a good film.

Another thing you wouldn't guess from the trailer is that this film at times is very funny.


Can someone put another quarter into the internet box?


Watching Ciara Bravo in Small Engine Repair. I missed when it was in the cinema in NL, if it ever was, but it's on digital now.

Can't say more about it, but it's certainly an interesting film.


Me not understanding how the final episode of Doctor Who with Jodie and Mandip ended can be explained by it not actually being the final episode: we're getting another one with them 17 April. And I think another one after that, though I'm not sure.


Just back from watching Studio 666 in the cinema. I knew Jenna Ortega would be in it for only a bit, which was true. Impressive how even in these small moments she delivers and makes the experience intense and captivating.
#Studio666 #JennaOrtega


Season four of You (on Netflix) will have the amazingly talented Amy-Leigh Hickman in it. I'm also hoping we are getting Jenna Ortega back as Ellie, who already showed her extraordinary talents in S2. That would make for the perfect season!

Today Studio 666 is released in Dutch cinemas. This means that currently *three* films with Jenna Ortega are playing in the same cinema each day, as Scream and X are also running!

"Russia threatens to stop supplying gas if not paid in roubles"

Let them. There are short term, midterm and long term solutions that we should have done ages ago. Let's use this blackmail to actually go ahead and achieve energy independence (from some other countries as well) and save the environment at the same time. It'll cost money, damage the economy, but that's both the price to pay for taking a moral stance to not finance a war, and the cost of acting too late to get our energy consumption in order. It's not as if we didn't know this already.



Reminded that the Chernobyl accident happened when they were doing a test, but at the last moment decided to do the test even more safely than originally planned. I.e. to do the test differently than originally planned... Don't do that.
in reply to Gidi Kroon

"So we planned, prepared and calculated to do this test at full power. Half power must be safer, what even are nonlinear characteristics" (Chernobyl)

"So we prepared and tested to automatically and regularly delete log files on this computer, but we have enough storage, they are only small and who knows we need them anyway, what even are inodes" (a Mars rover)

Edit: in trying to find details for the latter point I can only find info about the Spirit rover running out of disk space due to forgetting to delete old files, so nothing to do with inodes nor with a change of plan. So I guess I was misinformed about that.

Oh wow, apparently Mastodon is going to get editing. I didn't know that. The stuff I miss when I don't follow the developments.

Today is the release of season two of Bridgerton on Netflix. I came to watch season one because of Harriet Cains, Kathryn Drysdale and Phoebe Dynevor and came to love the performances by Claudia Jessie and Florence Hunt as well. So yeah, I'll be watching season two!

Yesterday a carpenter came round to do some work on the kitchen. He asked what work I do. When I mentioned that I made computer programs, he said that he only knew it as being about ones and zeros, but putting them in the correct order. And I guess, he's so right?


All season they're working towards this moment that the big evil throws the whole world into disarray and one double episode later big evil is just 'oh, you don't like it? we'll revert everything'.

The more you know - Canada has had no restrictions on abortion at any time in a pregnancy for a few years now. They rightfully concluded it's not the state's business to impose a religious construct.

And it's fine. Their society hasn't collapsed. Abortion hasn't skyrocketed. Their rate was already and still is low.

It turns out that women and their doctors can make their own decisions and don't go around ending pregnancies for fun. There is no reason for regulation of this procedure whatsoever.

We should stop starting with the concession that at some point abortion must be disallowed, and assuming it's just an argument about when. The Roe compromise is garbage. Maybe we'll never get to do it right but we can change the conversation. The only reason to regulate abortion is to score political points.

Of course it's anti-democratic. Conservatives are doing it.

This is exactly right because once they get 15 weeks, they go for 10, 6, 0.

This one doesn’t affect public health. It’s nobody else’s business.

Here in Argentina the Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy Bill includes gratis abortions in public hospital (up to 14th week). Before the bill abortion rates were high but illegal (illegal unsanitary procedures).

The bill debate was a high topic but once approved there is no going back.

in reply to Ubuntu Peronista

Making it illegal definitely doesn't stop abortion. It just makes it unsafe and unnaccessable for those who aren't pretty well off.

Right wingers are looking to jail people over it, just to make it even worse.

I'm glad to hear other countries handle it better.

in reply to Ubuntu Peronista Tony Stark reshared this.

In the USA, we are are losing ground. It has been legal nationwide since 1973, and in the last year, bills have passed making it illegal in some states. Last year at six weeks, and just this week, in one state has a bill to make it completely illegal. The Supreme Court has not issued an injunction on the one that is in effect.

Other countries do not seem to have these problems. I think it is already illegal in most countries that have right-wing governments in power, and typically considered a right in liberal democracies, or rights are being expanded in the liberal democracies where it isn't yet legal.

Just saw someone posting that they couldn't see a certain film in the cinema since they didn't have anyone to see it with who had the same taste in films. Weird. I can't remember the last time I went to the cinema with anyone instead of going alone. Must be decades ago. Same for concerts.


Christina Ricci has joined Jenna Ortega in the tv series Wednesday for Netflix, where Jenna plays the title character Wednesday Addams and Christina plays another character, not an older version of the same character. This is going to be so great!

An interesting article about trigger warnings and that they may not help, or even harm. The article is from last year and discusses trigger warnings mainly in the context of material you have to read anyway. But there are more general problems with avoiding triggers mentioned, that it can make someone's ptsd central to their identity and prevent healing.

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.

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.




company: thank you for your patience.
me: I explicitly tried to avoid the impression that I had any patience.

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.
