Wild to think that there's a junior exec walking around Manhattan right now who, within a month, will be sent by her firm back to her hometown to close a local business, only to run into a former-flame turned tree-farming cookie enthusiast who'll change her life via the power of Christmas.

Every couple million over 100 shouldn’t have a 2% tax, just an additional artist you pay 100k/year. A billionaire should be paying the way for 900 artists and craftsmen. Elon can keep his half a trillion for the low, low price of a Wyoming of artists.

For the Bond writers worried about how to bring their protagonist back, perhaps gain wisdom from the CRANK 2: HIGH VOLTAGE tagline: "He was dead... but he got better."

Look, there's already a James Bond video game coming which, despite looking very fun to play, is rebooting into an excessively expositional "everything for the first time" origin story. I am BEGGING Hollywood to be more creative than that.

The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Star of Japan’s cinematic golden age, who collaborated with Kurosawa and played the lead in Kobayashi’s Human Condition trilogy, died from pneumonia
The Japanese stage and screen actor Tatsuya Nakadai, whose celebrated performances symbolised a golden age for the country’s cinema, has died aged 92.
Nakadai garnered more than 100 screen credits during a career spanning seven decades, but is perhaps best known internationally for his role in Ran, Akira Kurosawa’s 1985 epic set in the Sengoku “warring states” period that took its inspiration from Shakespeare’s King Lear. Continue reading...
