In a few weeks, I'll have been here two years. Just blocked my first account. If you're praising the virtues of generative AI, I want nothing to do with you.

Yesterday's #MysteryClassic at Pathé was Gladiator. It wouldn't have been my choice, but I at least can see this one being considered a classic.
I have only seen it once before, when it was showing in cinemas originally. In my vague memory, I kinda remembered a mock naval battle in the colosseum -

26 years ago today, as we were a bit distracted by the upcoming Y2K problem, the Moon left Earth orbit. We will always remember the brave men and women of Moonbase Alpha who gave their lives. #Space1999

The mystery classics at #PatheNL so far:

Pulp Fiction (February)
Meet the Parents (March)
Top Gun (April)
Spirited Away (May)
Moonlight (June)
The Departed (July)

I've come to realise that when some people say something "holds up", they mean it (still) doesn't have any significant flaws. I always took it to mean that it doesn't have any more (significant) flaws than it did originally.

This month in the "can @postnl.bsky.social do ANYTHING right?" saga: They (maybe) tried to deliver a package in & a few days later placed it where it could be collected. They never sent me any message about this, though, so last night they sent the package back to the sender.

At just a few days over 93, still too young.

If Bluesky can send a verification link through e-mail with a 11 character code, why do some other companies need to send links with a code that takes up kilobytes?

I'm watching #TheSeenYearItch
"Because I can explain everything - the stairs, the cinnamon toast, the blonde in the kitchen."
"Wait a minute, ... *What* blonde in the kitchen?"
"Wouldn't you like to know? Maybe it's Marilyn Monroe!"
got the first chuckle out of me. This movie is... not great.

"We noticed a potentially suspicious login attempt to your account."
... Did it come from one of the four devices I use all the time to login? If so, that is not security - just annoying.

In >13 years, I backed 19 kickstarter projects (including one that was canceled). I don't think KS pushing it on my personal page will get me to superbacker status - which is pledging to 25 projects for >=$10 each - in the last 12 months. i have spent that sort of money. Just on fewer projects.

"Ik vind het belangrijk om vandaag uit te stralen dat het kabinet daar niet alleen in staat. ... Maar dat ik denk dat er een grote meerderheid in deze kamer is die het kabinet daar ook de ruimte voor wil [sic] geven en de politieke- het politieke mandaat voor wil [sic] geven." 🤢😵‍💫
Ik betwijfel dat.
