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. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

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

Arkan is a popular circle dance of the Ukrainian Hutsul people🙂

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.

Going to university never occurred to him. “I had to get a university standard of education by study in my own time without the benefit of actually attending,” he writes.

Since this is apparently a resigning matter, I’ll just leave this here… www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

4 years ago today I stumbled across the greatest tv listing ever written

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.

Sir Tony Blair met with Jeffrey Epstein in Downing Street while still prime minister, following lobbying by Lord Peter Mandelson, the BBC has confirmed. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

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.

Chief Railways in Wales and England In 1898 Man, even back then the trip from Aberystwyth to Carmarthen was way shorter than it is now 😂

Dolly Peel, fishwife and smuggler, South Shields, 1850. When her husband and son were press-ganged, she snuck on board ship and hid. Discovered, she was allowed to work as a nurse and stay with her family.

Baffled as to why Amazon thinks I would like Waylon Jennings hoodies.

I remember when a sign of rebellion was wearing a Chè T-shirt. Who would have thought 60 years later, it would be a frog. #Chicago

I recently finished reading Mayu Fujikawa’s new exceptional book for an upcoming review. She expertly analyzes a wide variety of visual and material sources to reconstruct and decode the diverse representations of Japanese embassies in premodern Europe.

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.

I've been watching some of the Caïn TV series today, so France is in my mind. Now, though, my earworm is Lost In France 🇫🇷 and I know all night I'll be singing "Ooh la la la, ooh la la I'm dancing"

A nice location for some outdoor cinema. Polesden Lacey, now in the care of the National Trust. They were showing Hocus Pocus 🧙 #polesdenlacey #hocuspocus #halloween

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...

Tamara de Lempicka, Blue Woman with a Guitar, 1929 Polish painter who created her work in an Art Deco style #womensart

Here is a reporter who deserves to be remembered. kyivindependent.com/ukrainian-jo...

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...

Help needed. I'm off to Venice Noir in November and while I've got hotel room arranged for the festival I still need some extra nights in hotel or guest house in both Venice and Rome. Has anyone got any good recommendations?

City of Gold Watercolor - 30x22 inches This view of the Manhattan skyline at dusk - from Roosevelt Island - has been a bit of an obsession. I've tried numerous angles and lighting conditions. This is my largest and latest take. #artistt #imagination #watercolorpainting #reality #nyc #architecture

Today, I spotted a British flag with a Welsh dragon on it, on a house in Carmarthen. I also saw a front door with Happy Halloween on it 🙁.

Terrified to find out what answers AI is giving to these questions.

Inventive People of Portland Dressing as Animals: Please don't dress as dogs. Your life will not be safe with psychopath Kristi Noem on the rooftops.

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.
