The thing about being neurodivergent is that I Like It. What I don’t like is that the world imposes numerous taxes on me for being like this.
I don’t view it as a Me problem.

They should begin the next movie in a darkened room. A light comes on to reveal Daniel Craig and Hugh Grant in a bed. Craig turns to Grant and says, in his Benoit Blanc voice, "I just had the strangest dream."

This. All of this. It’s not just the individual incidents. It’s the weight of all of it. Chicago is being intentionally traumatized. Repeatedly. It’s hard to describe. Kyle did it.

To which I say “It’s Bond mate. Nobody cares about the lore.
Bond's first outing in Dr. No was released in 1962, where he was meant to be in his mid 30s.
He has appeared as seven entirely different people since then and should now be in his 90s. Get on with it.”

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

the entirety of the british press talked themselves into believing this woman is trans based almost entirely on JK Rowling's judgement of the athlete's appearance.
Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

Like the opposite of aprons, which were originally naprons
‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’
It was originally ‘ekename.’
‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.”
Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it.
Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

Slashers like Jason are spree killers, not serial killers, which matters if you're taking into account motive, methodology, etc.
But: why so few slashers in space? Because it's TOO isolated. If you take the subgenre as a threat within the community, waiting to pop - that requires a community...

Serial killer horror, not my favorite—but why has no one made a serial killer in space movie? This question brought to you by a discussion of the weird Jason movie.
