James Bond discourse reminds me that an ex's nan sat in solemn silence through the whole of Austin Powers, then said "Well I don't see how he gets all those women"

Bond comes back to life, but he's missing his penis.

I posted about her novel ZOMBIE, saying it was the most disturbing book I´d read since Selby Jr´s THE ROOM (which was meant as a recommendation) and she replied with a picture of her cat holding a cuddly toy...

Unless they faithfully remake the Fleming Bonds, complete with egg obsession and deranged politics then really what's the point? I want audiences to gasp as Bond eats an avocado or categorises the races

Imagine praising a book in 2025 for being "sparse"? Look I enjoy sparse prose as much as the next, but we've been in a decades long Sparse Race of prose that you can increasingly just inhale like a delicate mousse and at some stage we will have to start making adjectives cool again

Does remembering John Majors posts and various mascots that fuck and Mr Pastry's failed bit to model The Doctor in his own image count as posting about history

Not a half-baked gesture at all. Tidal has much better quality and pays artists four times as much as Spotify.
I just switched from Spotify to Tidal as a half-baked ethical gesture and maybe this is some sort of aural placebo effect but the difference in sound quality is startling, as though Spotify plays everything through a sock. Or am I just imagining this

get a copy of my book, Minor Transient Documents of Everyday Life, so you can read it performatively. It's poetry so it's extra pretentious

the true Butlerian Jihad is forcing people — by violence if necessary — to accept that “perfomative” doesn’t just mean doing something self-consciously

Other than it is weird that people are just taking photos of strangers, is there something inherently wrong with being a "performative" reader?

I wonder how many of the photos used in this montage by a prominent media outlet were taken with the consent of the sitter, maybe that’s a societal evil worthy of some investigation rather than whatever this is
