Oh my dear. That’s horrible. I hope you’re ok. And while I’m only someone who talks to you from the internet, be assured that you entirely do seem like friend material.

Nice. Fingers crossed. Well, unless it’s defining the marketing division as a bunch of mindless jerks who’ll be first against the wall when the revolution comes…

Also also, if we’re Doing Continuity, it is very clear that Bond died on the operating table towards the end of Spectre and what followed was the bleeding-out wish fulfilment fantasy of a professional sociopath desperate for a happy ending. So anything’s up for grabs.

But the idea that having exploded old Jimmy Murders is an issue for the Bond franchise is faintly risible, and just deadpanning a new actor and letting the ambiguity dangle would be fun.

I also think Doctor Who should keep regenerating Rassilon into post-Brosnan Bonds. I did mention the brain problems.

Does amuse me it coming up now though. Literally the first thing I thought after No Time To Die was (because I have brain problems) “well, now they have do decide whether they’re Doing Continuity™️ or making Bond movies”

(Please just make Bond movies)

Knew you’d have it covered while I was out 😛

I should go to bed.

In probably over-indexing on a tiny phrasal choice. “Interested in finance” would have sounded orders of magnitude less glitching replicant. Still not great, but a possibly not great actual person 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, I’m really interested in sounds, from a listening to them perspective. My hobbies include experiences and feelings. Good fucking grief.

I mean, I knew I was hopelessly bourgeois- I just hadn’t realised for how long.

But yeah “that nice ham” does seem to be infallible.

Yeah, for sure

I mean, it's crazy rich. But it's a good time.

Well, I hit "publish" instead of "save", so here you go, a few days early:
