Dr. No is 61. 

I have this longstanding conception that One is about a gay person coming out to their unaccepting parents.  True or not, I like the reading.  “You act like you never had love, and you want me to go without.”  

Well, they’ve been going in and out of style.  But they’re guaranteed to raise a smile.  

I would welcome a reworking of Sympathy for the Devil’s lyrics to include Star Wars references, but I don’t have time or energy to do it myself.

History will vindicate this post.

I just want everyone to know I clicked on this article because of its very substantive content, not the picture of Rachel Zegler.  Got that?  OK good, carry on.  

She was brilliant but could be nasty AF, and clearly had the capacity for ethical lapses, as people tend to when there’s no consequences for transgressions. I do wonder how much of it was the thing of being a woman in a man’s world and profession, taking on the characteristics of the sphere she was trying to survive…

We know this? It makes sense, but the article doesn’t make it clear who’s asking. I mean yeah, from a respecting your co-workers perspective, that would be a dick move. I don’t think it’s particularly dangerous and previous bouts with COVID don’t make it more so, but if everyone else is masking and she’s taking a…

But asking her to mask all the time just because she’s been infected before also misunderstands contagion. Lots of people have had COVID, it doesn’t mean they’re more likely to spread it to others when there’s no indication they are actively sick. If the rule is being applied to everyone on set, that’s one thing. If…

Sorry, can we clarify the connection between wealth and not wearing a mask? Because it seems like most people just don’t wear masks regardless of, well, anything. If the concern is risks to her health that’s really her business unless she’s actively sick. Long COVID symptoms are not in themselves contagious. I mean, I…

Everything is dad rock now. 

Slightly related, I got more hits than Sadaharu Oh, Tom Thumb, Tom Cushman, or Tom Foolery, and I date woman on TV with the help of Chuck Woolery.

Still, if the AV Club comments section isn’t purgatory, I don’t know what is.  

That feels about right. 

Beat him hard enough you get literally this:

Yeah, it’s I sometimes see a lot in the legal sphere when people are charged with things that can be said to stem from addiction (or at least would likely not occur if addiction were not present). Certain types of treatment are seen as a go-to for getting them out of jail or mollifying prosecutors. People are funneled…

To be fair, diseases are generally much more complex and personal than they look on paper. Diagnostic language is all about politics. It’s a way to communicate something unfathomably complex to policy makers, judges, the media, professional trainees, etc. It’s a strategic way of explaining things, and is accordingly…

Which would all be fine if anonymously snarking on Rooney Mara online had anything to do with creating a level playing field in the workplace. I mean whatever, I’m not saying there’s not valid things to vent about. Let’s just be honest that that’s all we’re doing. Politics, medicine, business, all places where…

During that brief period the world also paid them enough money to retire at 28 which, again, just like the rest of us!

You know who I sometimes feel bad for? Bono. There’s a guy who needs attention and validation to his very bones. How does it feel to someone like that when, critically speaking, it’s over, and has been for decades?
