I am so confused. So the next Bond movie isn’t a restart? So the next Bond is gonna be as old as Daniel Craig in No Time to Die. These writers are idiots. Let me do it.

Grab any James Bond AO3 writer and they'll give you eleventeen ways to solve this, all of them in exchange just for credits.

Willard Foxton @willardfoxton.bsky.social · 1d

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

sort of incredible to read a review that doesn't just made a vague nod at AI being bad, but actively reckons with the ways in which falling obsessively to AI usage actively obliterates the artistic intent and integrity of the work you've made.

Democrats had one accomplishment in the 21st century that they could point to, and now they're flushing it because their frequent air travel was becoming annoying and they had to work one (1) weekend.

I ‘love’ that a stranger I had an asinine conversation on here said I did it for the ‘engagement’. Am I getting paid to ‘engage’ with this bullshit? All that stupidity made me want to disengage if anything. I have absolutely zero tolerance for AI and folks calling CEOs ‘smart’. Don’t need this crap.

Mikey Gorman @mikeygorman.com · 2d

Yup. Did it all for the ‘engagement’.

Broad assumptions are born from folks who are communicating poorly. If you are moving the goal poststhen I am not interested in playing this game. I’ll do the polite thing and disengage from this conversation completely.

Mikey Gorman @mikeygorman.com · 2d

If you think that was aggressive then you’re interacting with AI too much and not enough humans. You basically just called the folks that did the work “tools” and not collaborators. I have no room for folks that can’t follow something as simple as the categorical imperative.

Mikey Gorman @mikeygorman.com · 2d

Sounds like you’re spouting the same bullshit the CEOs are slinging.

As of now your opinion on anything, I couldn’t care less mate.

It’s like photos of corn on plastic in an inflatable corn maze on grass. The inflatable parts are yellow and blue. It looks like an AI hall of mirrors but it’s IRL.

The TTC subway makes me want to cry. I have never seen a transit company so terrible at communication. I was on the university line last night at 11pm and zero notice that there would be track work the next day. Zero. Instead I find out when I arrive not on the subway car but to the damn station…

How's everyone else feeling about the Liberals becoming conservatives? I saw it coming, but it still makes me angry. The Conservatives couldn't have done for the fossil fuel lobby what the Liberals have. We're being tag-teamed. Some democracy. #cdnpoli

Umm, anyone else actually read the budget?

Climate action was annihilated.

Yes, industrial carbon pricing still exists. But so many other important climate action programs are now gone.

This budget is not a win for climate action.
