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

That's interesting; the Guardian has a history of supporting a lot of TERF nonsense.

They screwed up Jan Morris' obituary completely! But as far as I can tell, they handled Page's announcement fine.
