My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

as a bosnian, i cannot accept this depoliticization of the mass murder that was directed against us. to brazenly claim that the violence has "no political or religious motivation" is beneath common sense. it harms any understanding of what happened in sarajevo and bosnia

…there are a thousand explanations, the easiest of which, that 007 (and with one neuron’s leap Bond’s identity) is a code name handed to multiple agents IS IN THE FILM THEY’RE COMPLAINING ABOUT.
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.”

Imagine praising a book in 2025 for being "sparse"? Look I enjoy sparse prose as much as the next, but we've been in a decades long Sparse Race of prose that you can increasingly just inhale like a delicate mousse and at some stage we will have to start making adjectives cool again

“Everyone needs a hobby,” Silva says in Skyfall. “What’s yours?” And Bond answers: “Resurrection.” He’s an archetype, a role, not an individual. a human swallowed up by a national myth. Just as every age creates its own vampire, every age can create its own Bond. there’s no continuity issue here
