A reminder, before a certain movie probably makes a big thing of it again:

A young Irish couple did not provide the critical data that made Stagg tell Ike to delay D-Day.

The most critical data came from HMS Hoste, alone out in the Atlantic.

The Blacksod story is nice. But it's not true. /1

Keely Hodgkinson broke the indoor 800m world record last night - set on the day she was born 24 years ago.

She becomes only the second Brit to hold a WR along with Jonathan Edwards' triple jump mark.

Place Colignon, Schaerbeek. Incomers acquiring plots here were forced to choose a faΓ§ade for their new home from among the prize-winning entries in an 1896 public competition. These had to reflect the values of art "that the Renaissance spread among the civilized nations."

Random episode of #TheSopranos flicks on. S3 finale. Jackie Jr’s funeral and wake. Uncle Ju sings Core β€˜Ngrato. It’s actually Dominic Chianese’s voice. His performance. Still incredible.

Well, as it’s 28 January, it must be time to mark the 365th anniversary of that most rational example of that most sensible of judicial measures, capital punishment. Yes, this was the day Oliver Cromwell’s corpse was exhumed so he could be hanged and beheaded for regicide 🧡
