Retiree. My cats run my life. They could do a better job of it, but they're cats. 😸 Also a long-time Detroit Lions fan. I don't blame my cats for that. Hello to any #UglyDogs from the old place. I'm not here to see how many followers I can get.
Honestly, they could just have New Bond crawl up from some rubble, dust himself off, make some half-joke about it, and then launch into what will probably be a very disappointing movie.
It's not like this has been a continuity-heavy franchise. "Weren't you a Scotsman?"

this kind of feels like freaking out over a problem that 95% of the audience is not going to have an issue with
Report: Amazon Is Struggling to Think How to Bring James Bond Back From the Dead
Daniel Craig's permanent exit in 'No Time to Die' is apparently causing issues for the next 'Bond' film.

Federal immigration agents part of the Trump administration’s “Operation Midway Blitz” may soon leave Chicago, according to multiple sources who said the controversial mission was rapidly winding down after a contentious two months of enforcement raids that have set the city and suburbs on edge.

And more Pluribus content. There's also an audio only version of The Watch podcast, but everyone has access to YouTube.
A good discussion of the first two episodes, followed by an interview with Vince Gilligan.

A lot of crap news, but I can always count on Michiganders to forget their winter driving skills when the first snow hits. (Listening to WWJ news radio, where the traffic report noted six crashes across SE Michigan.) ❄️🚗💥
No reports of injuries or I wouldn't joke.

Well, at least the Lions won. Haven't lost two in a row for 53 games. Scored on every possession except the final run out of the clock.

For anyone in the Chicago/NW Indiana area. Holy moley.
An update from the NWS on the potential snow event. Read it.
One key: “…As a result, the expectation is for the lake effect snow bands to be unusually intense with peak snow rates of 3 to locally 5 inches per hour, frequent lightning and thunder, and pockets of hail.”

If you do watch this show, the production values are movie level. This was not a cheap show to make.
And then I listen to the podcast and holy moley it's crazy what they did for this show. I mean, they practically built a cul-de-sac with houses and whatnot.

Oooooo. Pluribus on Apple TV. It's even weirder than I imagined. Good show, two episodes in.
And there's a companion podcast. The ones for Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul were very good. Learned a lot about production and creation.

It's funny how U.S. history goes through cycles. Many of the issues in this movie echo today.
Beyond that, there are excellent performances from the cast and Nick Offerman - who I wanted to see play Teddy Roosevelt someday - is pretty brilliant as Chester Alan Arthur!

No, you don't have to really admire him.
Rick Scott: "He hates war. He hates war. Trump is just busting his butt every day working hard. Getting our economy going, to bring peace. I mean, you really have to admire him. He's got a lot of stamina."
