Washington Examiner: Trump hinted at the construction of a new monument in Washington, D.C., in a social media post early Saturday.

Please let it be this one.

A previously unknown (to me) Michael Powell film called The Phantom Light (1935). One actor in it rejoiced in the name of Fewlass Llewellyn. Set in Wales, mainly in a lighthouse, it starts at Tan y Bwlch railway station, where the station mistress wears Welsh costume, including the hat! #WalesFilm

I came across a TV show called M Squad (1959), starring Lee Marvin as a police captain trying to catch arsonists in Chicago. The guest actors were James Coburn and Leonard Nimoy, as the arsonists. #YouTube

I always liked Joan Greenwood. Way back in the 1990s, I used to go for manicures at a salon near Oxford St (London) run by an actress. Joan Greenwood was a client, and one day, I found myself having a manicure next to her. She was charming...that voice!

I'm all for women's roles being improved. I don't know about the new Tom Jones. I can't think of it without Albert Finney! I'll look it up anyway.

There's an interesting book out called "one star away"; true story I read it quite a few years ago, but it touches on the Polish evacuation into Siberia and the children that were then moved into Iran and India and how beautiful that assistance was

I quit smoking the easiest way. I simply read Allen Carr's book and, after decades of smoking— and trying everything from nicotine gum to hypnotism—since I finished the book over 20 years, I've never even THOUGHT about smoking again.

‼️To destroy the hundreds of Russian drones that attack Ukraine almost every night, Ukraine’s air defense uses every possible method. For example, Soviet, propeller-driven aircraft such as the Yak-52 are used - they are cheaper than the drones themselves.

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

I didn't bother to read the dozen or so messages from GWR today. I've just discovered that the Swansea to Paddington line has been in a right old state today after cows invaded Neath station!

I just saw a post at the other place about 2 competing women's college volleyball teams in Canada. One team had 2 men playing, and the other had 3 men, ergo there were 5 men on the court and 7 biological women.

On this day in 1997, Joe “The Pride of Wales” Calzaghe stepped into the ring in Sheffield to face boxing legend Chris Eubank for the WBO super-middleweight title.

In a career-defining performance, Calzaghe emerged victorious, marking the beginning of his long reign as world champion.
