i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed”
basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again.
i feel that with my dad.

Sorry, is the premise here that James Bond is supposed to have a continuous canonical storyline where he has a career as an active service secret agent from 1951 to present? 😂
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.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

The scariest thing in the universe isn't the Klingons, or the Dominion, or the Borg. It's Picard saying that you are a disgrace to the ideals of Starfleet and don't deserve to wear the uniform.
I would have died of shame on the spot.

Starving people right before Thanksgiving is actually diabolical on every level imaginable. It's also the kind of cruelty people don't forget.

Refusing to feed people while building a massive ballroom is a fast track to eat the rich. No pun intended.

I do think we have a pretty good chance of turning gambling into a genuine popular moral crusade 19th century style, because it's becoming a social evil that's destroying young men's lives in particular but also making sports coverage really shit.
Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.
