No, I know! But I’ve sometimes wondered, for the same reason.

Nah, it’s Apple Weather, I think? But it was right about snow once when everyone else was wrong, and has been over predicting it ever since.

It’s legal for me to do my job, and legal for you to enjoy the work I create. But the government is proposing banning the only tool that makes it possible for me to accomplish it.

Weather app is telling me we’re going to get 9cm of snow next week, and… I’d love that, but I just don’t think it’s true.

"JAMES BOND" IS NOT A CODENAME. HE ALREADY HAS A CODENAME. IT IS 007. RESIST THE URGE TO CANONISE STUFF. CANONISATION IS THE MIND KILLER. CANONISATION IS AMERICAN

a tweet from 2020: (james bond being beaten up by a goon) GOON: bond you will maintain continuity BOND: Never GOON: the year is 2020 and you're roughly forty five, you were born around 1975 BOND: *spits out blood* i was a sea captain in world war two and i've been to space GOON: you son of a bitch

My last word on the matter

the entirety of the british press talked themselves into believing this woman is trans based almost entirely on JK Rowling's judgement of the athlete's appearance.

I could think of half a dozen others, but that’s the one that sticks the most.

The Bloody Chamber, Angela Carter - reached in, twisted its fist, and changed everything about me.

Sexy, disturbing, and perfect, perfect, perfect prose.

Same.

No one tells you how much of this writing life is maintaining a one-sided cold war against some writer you feel wronged you years ago.

Ave Maria, gee it’s good t’see ya…

*disengage social anxiety*

You don’t make a bad point.

This is why the 1971-74 Hamilton/Mankiewicz Bonds were my faves as a kid.
Cos they get this.
"Kung fu! Christopher Lee! A funhouse! A little guy! A laser gun! A Chinese junk! Comedy sheriff! Robot gangsters and cowboys! A flying car! Britt Ekland in a bikini! A kid falling in a river! Belly dancer!"

I mean… yeahhhh. And there are a couple where it is SO BAD it’s unwatchable, and Live and Let Die should really be in that camp?

(Also, thank you.)

The trouble with Live and Let Die is that it’s an really cracking Bond APART from the racism, which just *saturates* it.

(I can’t take Goldeneye criticism. I mean, I can, but it is my Problematic Fave.)

Author Die Booth (a white middle aged man with long dark curly hair, dark eyes and a dark moustache and goatee) holding a copy of Darkness Most Fowl, which has a red to yellow gradient cover with an ink illustration of a pallid blue woman with four crows perched on her head.

I'll be reading from my story 'Little Gibbet' from 'Darkness Most Fowl' on November 23rd at 1pm ET (6pm GMT) on FB, YT, and Insta - I'll post watch links asap!

Pretending to be a boy was a shit way to survive my childhood. I would not recommend forcing children to pretend to be a different gender.

Oh, like they wouldn’t make a methane joke?

My default understanding is that "James Bond" is a fairy summoned by Doctor John Dee and bound to serve England since Elizabethan times through his trap-name ("Bond") but in general no you can't assume he's always the same guy

Yep. And like, blandly, cheerfully lowest common denominator? But so straightforward about it that you can’t be offended. Just a straightforwardly good time.

THANK YOU.

This is the movie I want, Kiz. It is the movie I have wanted for years.

That’s it. That’s the formula. The old geezers will hate it, but they always do.

“Daft wee boys” is gender neutral btw.

I just 😍😍😍

Step five: go back to the school at kick out time - ask five beleaguered mothers which celebrities they wouldn’t kick out of their bed.

Find a newish actor who looks a bit like the most commonly mentioned name, and whose wanted to play Bond since he himself was a daft wee boy.

Step three: Leave the school, and look up the top three categories on P*rnHub.

You have your Bond babes. Give them stupid names.

Step four: leaf through a copy of GQ and one of Cosmo. The ads? That’s your aesthetic.

Step two: Find the most autistic of said daft wee boys. Ask him for his ten coolest facts. Omit anything with dinosaurs or comic books.

That’s your plot. Pin it on something inoffensive but vaguely topical.
