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

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 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.

In 'The Print,' (1931) Harold Knight depicts his wife Laura holding one of her prints from the pile on the table. Another of her works, 'Circus Dressing Room,' can be seen hanging on the wall behind her as can her reflection in the glass of the frame.

Limited liability is one of our weird silences. It's a massive free gift society makes to plutocrats, seldom remarked upon, let alone contested. Shareholders should have to buy limited liability, like any other insurance. The insurers would then be liable. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

I've just watched an Alun Richards play on YouTube, Under the Carpet (1970). A possessive aunt tries to poison her nephew's wife with slug killer. Some good lines: "She's a woman of the world, her husband's with the Gas Board" "If I left a piece of fly paper, it would be too good for her"

She never faced soldiers or spies—her war was with authority itself. Grace Hopper didn’t just invent modern code; she defied every rule written to stop her. Her machines learned to speak our language. The question is whether we’ve learned to speak hers. Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/1JhZ...

I am a mere plaything of the gods. They wish upon me only sorrow. I went to the PO to post a card and thought I'd have something from Catch Fish and Chips. I was early, so I sat in the Square until after their opening time. No sign of anyone there when I went back. So I'm back at the house.
