COVID thoughts from cold, Christmas London. TL;DR The Omicron storm clouds are glowering above Europe, but its unclear whether this will just be rain and hail of COVID or rain, hail, tornados and hurricanes of infection and subsequent hospitalisation of COVID.





It's not about "complying".
It's about being sensible and kind.
We can look after each other.

I don’t think the White House understands how much its weakness in the fight for democracy demoralizes a public that will have to find strength to fight for democracy after Biden is out of office and his staff is back at their big law firms and influence peddling consultancies.





Not only is today's date a palindrome, it's also an ambigram. You can read it left to right, right to left, and also upside down #nerdalert

While Jenna Ortega is making magic in Romania (filming Wednesday) I thought it a good moment to make a list from a fan's perspective of what is in the pipeline. Much to look forward to!

Is watching the 1984 Ghostbusters movie killing people?

Recent data show death rate of 10-59yr olds who have watched the 1984 Ghostbuster Movie is 2x higher than those who have watched the 2021 Ghostbuster movie

I don't know how to explain this other than movie-caused mortality

I quite dislike the anti-vaxx message in current Doctor Who (Flux), or at least that I read it that way.





a popular myth is that people who are Very Computer have computers that work. nothing could be further from the truth. the Very Computer are capable of generating much more novel and fascinating ways to make computers not fucking work and exercise this capability wantonly




I feel sick. What do you even do when the country's legal system openly declares that white people can kill whoever they want?

"..completion of a primary vaccine series, especially with mRNA vaccines, typically leads to a more consistent & higher-titer initial antibody response [than infection-acquired immunity].

(For those in back row, STOP saying that infection acquired immunity is better...)

The unbox-to-insta speed was impressive. #YouNetflix


The amount of time between Ellie unboxing a brand new phone and logging into her Instagram account.




Mother/Android may be a sci-fi epic about a robot uprising—but it's also based on a deeply personal story. V.F. has your first look at the film: vntyfr.com/QGwnzmV


Sometimes I put stuff in the image descriptions that maybe should have been in the main post, but I just thought of it later. That, and Twitter gives you way more characters for the image description...





Trying to pinpoint where I’m going wrong on dating apps and I think it’s my first photo, too many neutral tones?

Just finished 'binging' (spread over three days) season three of You on Netflix. It's no S2. It lacks the connection with reality the character Ellie was providing. It's my theory that viewers need another character to connect with if the narrator is a serial killer. #YouNetflix

Maybe the character Theo was meant to be that, but he was hardly in touch with reality himself. Anyway, they kept the Ellie storyline open so there is much hope for season 4. #YouNetflix




Very excited for this!! What a pleasure it was to work on and what a professional team working against all odds during a pandemic and in and out of lockdown. Out on #Netflix on 31st December. #StayClose #actor @REDProductionCo

Vandaag heeft @xs4all de catch-all van de email adressen dus echt uitgezet. Terwijl ze zeiden dat je alleen aliassen moest aanmaken voor je extra adressen, blijken ze ook je hoofdaccount te blokkeren tenzij die op 'xs4all.nl' eindigt.

@gidikroon @xs4all Ik ben voorzichtig optimistisch dat het lijkt dat ik weer kan mailen via mijn iPhone… 🙌 morgen toch maar even bellen. Adres was sinds 14 uur “kwijt” en het zou toch wat zijn als dat vaker gebeurd. 🙃
Sterkte met alles wat jij nog moet regelen!



We have known for a while that for our daily commute we needed to switch from fossil fuels to electric power. But who knew that would be more routers and video bandwidth?

.@ChloeGMoretz I just saw #ShadowInTheCloud and your performance is amazing. I'm still shaking... Such a powerful film! Thank you for making films with such an important message.




If you're looking for something better to do while facebook is down, I humbly ask you to take a look at my wt.social pilot project. We need good people ready to try something new.


Facebook and Instagram down? I'm posting this from my Friendica, which as all the fediverse it connects to is very much still online... 😉
