In No Time to Die he came out of retirement and died, but in the process they introduced us to this amazing development -- the replacement 007 was a British Black woman named Nomi played by Lashana Lynch. They then did nothing with her.

It is deeply amusing to me that folks don't know the starburst/cross pattern in cartoons used to mark a star in the sky is how people with astigmatism see all bright lights in the darkness.

I had a friend disinvited from his sibling's wedding because he was gay and it didn't align with their values. Heartbreaking but his response was beautiful. Reproduced below.

It has arrived! Thanks to @lioninthetrees.bsky.social for creating it and @chewbanza.bsky.social for sending me one of the only remaining ones... It will live on my new surface, alongside my matching enamel pin. Pangolins rule.

I love gamers because sometimes they're so context unaware they write the funniest shit. Read the review below and only then read the rest of this

It's for a game called Wantless, a tactical RPG where you're a therapist and every battle is a session for a client. Feels authentic.🤣

It is ridiculous how many scents are made to be delectable to the nose that would absolutely bang if they were placed on lightly flavored sugar candies like candy corn.

Sometimes I'll be on Quora written in passing that I'm like "welp, that's a lie." Today I saw the one below. Lemme just tell White folks: This is almost certainly White folks performing digital Blackface for White folks. Nothing about this question reflects a Black kid's perspective or tone. At all.

The saddest part of replacing my surface is losing the stickers I put on the back and unfortunately the artist behind my favorite, an awesome pangolin (my favorite animal), only did a limited run. Good bye, ancient beast pangolin...

Me over here trying to process that Renee Elise Goldsberry is old enough to be a great grandmother without a single underage pregnancy involved. I am shook.
The photo beneath? Taken 5 days ago for a YouTube interview. That's her "We'll just chat in front of some mics" look.

I'm going to let you guys finish, but it's Corzetti del Levante. Truly, these things are the worst. Flat disks of pasta whose surface can only hold any sauce at all because they were the Renaissance equivalent of a branding gimmick. Just the WORST.

I would say examine stuff like the Venetian and Spaniard clothing of the early 17th century like this ensemble preserved at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Note: It has boots in place of the tight leggings showing calf, it uses layers to build the shape, and the pants and tabard hang loose.

I really hate when adults do shit like this to student reps. I guarantee you the other members of the board did not need a palaver of laudatory statements to frame their worthiness. She holds only one distinction that the rest of the board needs to know: Her peers wanted her to represent them. Fin.

I keep coming back to this thought and then weighing it alongside this insight from Andre 3000 about his journey through aging. It raises interesting questions about how these, in their own way, can both be true.

In an alternate timeline the major horror movie killers would be completely different. Who do you think they'd be? Me, I think at least one would be dressed up like a Venetian Jester because those are scary as FUCK.
