Is he trying to work out how to resurrect Sean Connery or...? We don't need continuity, we need a hot man shooting bad guys, that's literally 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.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

One of the side effects of my history degree is that on Saturday I watched a TV show based on a true story with a Wikipedia open, on Sunday I watched a documentary and listened to a podcast and now I'm finishing a book, all about the same topic I didn't care about on Friday.

Pitbull sells out stadiums in Poland and I just know that he's bald
What is your biggest musical blindspot for someone precisely your age?
For me - an elder millennial - it is that I have never knowingly listened to INCUBUS, nor could I name even one of their songs if you put a gun to my head.

The PLC is, and this cannot be stressed enough, both the greatest and one of the worst polities that Europe has ever come up with. It combines in itself the best and the worst of the history of the continent, usually at the exact same time.
(Listen it wasn’t perfect what with the serfdom, but the Polish Lithuanian commonwealth is a premodern state I have a soft spot for, partly because of its legacy of multiethnic cultural vitality which 20th century tyrants nearly destroyed).

A friend told me that she cried for three hours because something bad happened in her anime, so I sent her an AO3 link. I don't expect to see her for the rest of the year.

I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once.

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...
Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors

Let’s be clear— no conventional weapon delivery to Ukraine is escalation! French and German troops can join AFU at the front line and it won’t be an escalation because Ru is already using North Korean and Cuban troops. Don’t reward the Kremlin w any response to their ridiculous framing.

A question, lads. Where does the "free knowledge" come from, and how do we make more of it? What might we call the people whose job it is to find stuff out, such that the machine can feed upon their discoveries? What kind of system could we make which supported the practice of finding stuff out?
Wow. Just wow.
