I long worried about tainting the, I guess, sanctity of the movie, which was so good

Nothing has intrigued me more. Has always bubbled midway down our watch list.

Marcellus Wallace was a neon salesman!?

Half sask half toba here too. Good point on Xmas dinner, Tgiving dinner. But always a birthday supper and often Easter supper too.

Always been a “lunch” and “supper” person myself. Never knew whether “dinner” meant noon or evening. (Although I often observe that evening “dinner” people eat earlier at like 5-6, whereas “supper” people eat definitely after 6.)

Every Bond needs a Felix

I love seeing these videos, but also depressing to see how poorly my city compares. But @bikewinnipeg.bsky.social is working hard to get improvements made.

Agreed there is fertile ground in a book-era period Bond film/ film series. There’s also so much more — really, anyone who thinks that Bond’s death is a real roadblock might actually be disingenuous and trying simply to stir up interest?

Anyway, I know I’m late to the Bond discourse, but I do love the series.

Plot could be control of the Northwest Passage. Put Bond on melting, dirty sea ice amidst climate change. To escape, he sees a pristine white ‘iceberg’ that’s actually a refuge — filled with 1960s tech, a leftover from glory-era Bond, camouflaged for a permanently frozen Arctic that no longer exists

Personally, I think post-Brexit Bond could be a wonderful illustration of our faded world. Plenty of real-life oligarchs to inspire fictional foils. Make him choose between crap government tech or off-the-shelf stuff that’s better but jammed with ads, subscription pop-ups, backdoors, etc.

Bond in the WW1 trenches. Bond doing rearguard raids for the redcoats in 1776. Bond under Oliver Cromwell. Bond vs. Ghandi and make Bond the villain. What would Bond be up during the French Revolution? Send Bond on Scott’s Antarctic expedition and kill him again.

OMG, who cares if he died. Do you know how many times they killed Kenny?

There are so many options for new Bond ideas…

Victorian-era Bond with steampunk Q Division. Camelot Bond with Merlin as Q (Bond girl Morgana). 007 in 1066 with Bond on which side?

Just preaching my message of "wanting to do less more often" we all have our reasons.

This shouldn’t happen. We don’t have to accept it.

Example of a cookie recipe where the author adds a small note in a different color about how much of an ingredient you need in that step

The site I get most of my cookie recipes from adds the amount of the ingredient in the steps portion. I wish all recipes did this. It’s so nice not having to scroll up

Zohran for New York City wordmark

I am truly shocked to not find more thinkpieces on the incredible graphic design and typography of Zohran Mamdani’s campaign but maybe that’s because searching on the internet is garbage now.

TL;DR lead designer was Aneesh Bhoopathy of Forge Co-Op

Cyclists may be right to run stop signs and red lights. Here’s why Should cyclists be allowed to treat stop signs as yield signs? This rule from Idaho is divisive, but the scientific data is surprising.

It should be illegal to win the World Series on the road. We should be in “extra games” and go back and forth between Toronto and LA until someone wins at home.

I mean always, but yeah :/

Dodgers Centre. They should have kept the Skydome name. Cursed themselves.

You know, if they had just called it the Rogers Skydome, I think most people would have been happy.
