Not much is happening
I need things to watch so I tried "The Angel," on Netflix, because it has Marwan Kenzari from the Old Guard. He is pretty, but this movie is a massive bore. Not recommended. Kenzari plays a real-life Egyptian spy, Ashraf Marwan, a government official who spied for Israel during the 1970s. His motives aren't clear and as a character he's not especially well-developed. The acting is good but the script is just flat.
Some good news today from around the world:
1. Elliot Page, actor from the X-Men, Inception, and the Umbrella Academy, came out as trans. I'd link to an article but they all seem to either dead-name Page, and/or use a screen shot of text that is inaccessible.
2. Cher helped re-home an elephant called Kaavan. He was alone at a zoo in Pakistan, but is now in Cambodia at a sanctuary with other elephants. They put him on a plane and he slept on the journey.
Here's an article, note that it has an auto-play video: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-pakistan-elephant-idUSKBN28A0VP

Best quote from elephant article: “The flight was uneventful, which is all you can ask for when you transfer an elephant.”
That's so lovely!
We enjoyed a very creepy thriller series called TRUST ME. It features Jodie Whittaker as a whistle-blowing nurse who's trying to escape reporters who really want the details. She has a creepy partner she'd rather never see again. She escapes into a new persona in Scotland. She needs to escape and yet she's lying and hiding and it's intriguing. There are no jump scares or gore -- hints of child harm but none occurs.
