@jamesdavidpatrick.bsky.social I watched AVTAK last night and it’s such a drag that Bond himself never has any fun anymore, let alone the audience.

Pro Tip: read everything generated by LLMs in the voice of HAL 9000 so you’ll have a better chance of feeling the needed internal skepticism about anything it says to you.

Which is exactly why I was able to buy an actual Han Solo blaster w/holster prop for practically nothing - because no one cared about Star Wars in 1988!

Football just hasn’t been the same since we lost New York Jets quarterback Flash Gordon back in 1980 when our planet experienced all those weird quakes and hot hail.

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect.

Was watching Bourne movies again (as one does) and thought how quaint it was that the agencies were desperate to make sure word didn’t get out that they regularly assassinated American citizens without arrest or trial. Hahahaha, those were the days.

Well, to be fair, I only have the excellent LTK teaser poster (which I paired with the Last Crusade teaser last year as a tribute to 1989).

Who let Grampa go out of the country? He needs to be home napping in his gold recliner, not gallivanting off to Davos where he’s just gonna ramble nonsensically about Iceland and whatnot.
