#DavidTennant named himself "Tennant" when he was 16, because as an actor in the Actors' Guild of Great Britain, David McDonald was taken.

He picked it from Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys! Very cool.

The cinema is playing Bob Dylan songs, just audio, nothing on the screen, before the promotions and our unrelated movie starts.

I don't know Dylan well enough to know if the singer is Dylan or Chalamet.

Next time! Next time!

I'm sure the "Flygande Jacob" pizza exists and isn't just something Hassan made up.

@strypey Note that they also had an Iranian-Swede (Mercedes Mason) playing a San Salvadorian (Ofelia Salazar).

I can't say for sure if Curtis was typecast, my guess is it's more like it was hey, you're Maori, let's write that into the character.

When I visit Sweden I always need to enjoy at least one banana curry pizza. It's a remarkable and unique dish that just by existing manages to insult cultures on three continents.

Wet Wet Wet is a Scottish band!

@waterbear Just a very cool looking poster thay says I should definitely not be doing "space oil drug", which is a drug I never heard of before, I had to look it up. I thought maybe it was cannabinoid oil, which was made illegal 1–2 years ago, but it was something else.

They recently upgraded the illegality of the core chemical, just last month or so, which is why there's a campaign.

@waterbear Ah, what's in the drug, not in the campaign? 😅

"The Government has listed etomidate and its three analogues (metomidate, propoxate and isopropoxate) as dangerous drugs since 14 February, 2025."

Oh, so just this week actually.

In Walking Dead, the main character with the southern drawl, Rick, was played by Andrew Lincoln, who is English.

We're watching Fear the Walking Dead, and the character Troy looked kind of familiar, so I looked him up, and no, that actor hadn't been in anything I knew about, but he's also English.

So then I thought haha, wouldn't it be funny if even one of the Latina characters was English too. So I looked up Mercedes Mason, who plays Ofelia. Not only is she not actually Latina, she's from Linköping, Sweden!?! Her parents are Iranian and Swedish.

We found an episode of Skavlan where she was interviewed, and she only speaks a few words of Swedish, as they moved to the US when she was 12.

This reminds me that I have the random internet person's cut of Tencent's Three-Body Problem on my to-watch list.

I liked the Netflix one and started watching the Tencent one, but the pacing was too frustrating.

So it sounds like JN.1 is well up to date, but another XBB.1.5 shot would have been adequate too.

Based on other paragraphs it sounds like the virus is evolving in the same direction as before, higher transmissability and lower pathology. Maybe I won't continue my shots after this one.
