Got a haircut yesterday and fresh out of the shower it looked uncomfortably Jockjaw-esque.

Please send good vibes and/or prayers to my buddy Nathan Rabin, who's in the hospital recovering after a car accident Thanksgiving evening. He needs to stop lounging around & get back to promoting his new book THE FRACTURED MIRROR. You should order it right now!

When no humans have jobs, who exactly is going to, you know, pay money for goods and services?
The markets are staying afloat right now on the hope that AI will destroy American workers. What a bleak thing.

Whether it’s Mamdani feeding the unhoused, or Adams accepting bribes, both NYC mayors have complicated relationships with Turkey.
Combatting poverty and hunger in this city will take every single one of us. Myself included.

Istanbul was a central location in three James Bond movies:
- FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE
- THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH
- SKYFALL

(Sorry, I thought it said "within Turkey")

All 25 Bond films are coming to Pluto TV for free
All 25 Bond films are coming to Pluto TV for free
Pluto announced on Monday that it was welcoming all movies from the franchise before the end of December. To Pluto TV , with love. Just in time to lay claim to some of the extra viewing time many audience members have on their hands around the holidays, the free streamer Pluto TV is adding one of the most popular film franchises of all time to its library. As announced on Monday, Pluto has begun streaming titles from the James Bond series, and all films from the franchise will soon be available there. Key Details: Available now: Bond films have already begun rolling out on Pluto TV. Early Christmas gift: More of the movies will arrive on Pluto in December. For Pluto’s eyes only?: The films are also available to stream ad-free on Prime Video. Watch Now Free Pluto.TV More than 20 Bond movies are already available to stream on Pluto TV, including “The Spy Who Loved Me,” “GoldenEye,” and “Skyfall.” The films are available to stream on demand on Pluto, but if you don’t want to have to choose which one you watch, you can also stream the Pluto TV 007 channel 24 hours a day and let Pluto set the schedule. Pluto has also launched a James Bond channel in Spanish, giving fans the choice of how they access the films. And while the initial launch did not feature every Bond title, the four that are not currently available — “Dr. No ,” “From Russia With Love ,” “Goldfinger ,” and “Spectre ” — are joining Pluto TV on Dec. 1. While their availability on Pluto TV means they’ll be free to stream, fans will have to watch ads with any Bond film they choose to watch on the service. The series will not be exclusive to Pluto during its run on the free streamer; however, fans can watch any Bond movie on Prime Video with no ads for $12 per month. Pluto TV announced it would add more holiday content from BET in October, and it continues to augment its library ahead of Thanksgiving. The streamer will soon have every single James Bond movie available to stream free, and already has a big selection of the titles ready to stream. Watch Pluto.TV Pluto TV Pluto TV is a free live TV streaming service that provides more than 350 channels of live TV and thousands of on demand movies and TV shows. … Most of what you’ll find on Pluto TV qualifies as “background television.” It’s fine to keep on while you’re scrolling on your phone or cooking something in the kitchen. Because these aren’t traditional live TV channels, it’s not a great option for live events, news, or sports, but it’s a solid choice for cord cutters who want to supplement their other services with some “comfort food” TV. You’ll find channels dedicated to “Star Trek,” “CSI,” “Jersey Shore,” “Survivor,” and “The Amazing Race.” Watch Free Pluto.TV

There aren’t many split-screen scenes where he appears opposite himself, but if you’re really paying attention to THE PRESTIGE you can tell which twin Christian Bale is playing from scene to scene.
Honestly a good question for everyone: who do you think has given the best twins / “multiple roles in the same scenes”?

My first thought was Jeremy Irons in “Dead Ringers,” then Eddie Murphy in the “Nutty Professor” family scenes.
