INT: SEX CASINO, NIGHT
BOND: Hello I am Bond James Bond my car goes NYOOM
CUT TO: ten minutes of a chase in a sports car
BOND: Also my watch is a special watch that makes ladies blouses see through
EXPLOSION
BOND: This film is for grown ups
A dead parrot with only nine years left in copyright! Well, I suppose they can afford it.

11.11.2025 11:13 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Sometimes the long arcs of telly work brilliantly, though: Buffy at its best (S3-4 for me) did this really well, as did The Wire, Mad Men, and many soaps. But in films there’s just much less scope for that, and Bond has never really even tried.

11.11.2025 11:03 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Honestly, most of the Bond films barely even manage an internally consistent narrative. Though if Bond really is supposed to be 95, I’d love to hear from his cosmetologist, his yoga teacher, and from whichever unfortunate doctor has had to deal with his doubtless many cases of the clap
11.11.2025 11:03 — 👍 85 🔁 2 💬 5 📌 1Goodness me. I had no idea the Bond movies were supposed to form a coherent narrative from 1962 till now. This raises quite a few other questions.
Obviously Nick is right in this thread. Problem solved, martinis all round 🍸
The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.
New piece from me.

Statement from the Mayor of London: Many Londoners are horrified by the ongoing genocide in Sudan, which has claimed at least 150,000 lives, displaced millions, and created the world’s largest humanitarian crisis. The videos and images of mass killings circulating online are truly harrowing and heartbreaking, as are the horrific satellite photos that have emerged in recent days. Accounts from survivors that sexual violence continues to be used as a weapon of war - including against children - are deeply distressing. These are crimes against humanity, and the international community must act to ensure they are urgently stopped. This senseless violence and suffering has to end. The world must not look away from this crisis. MAYOR OF LONDON, SADIQ KHAN
The world must not look away from the genocide in Sudan.

Now physical therapy won't get approved. Al Expectation We are reviewing claim #& submitted on 09/28/2025. Our records indicate the claim was filed under diagnosis code F32.9 (Depressive disorder, unspecified), while the corresponding prescription and referral history list treatment for lumbar disc herniation (back pain).
Re: Incorrect Diagnosis in Record Hi Thank you for reaching out. We have reviewed your visit documentation and can confirm that the notes in question were generated using our Al scribe system. It appears the Al tool assigned diagnosis code F32.9 (Depressive disorder, unspecified), while your visit notes and treatment plan reference lumbar disc herniation (back pain). Per compliance policy, certain Al-generated fields cannot be manually updated by clinic staff and require vendor correction. We have escalated this to our vendor support team and opened ticket # . We'll notify you once we receive confirmation or correction from the vendor.
a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,
