Each July 4th Americans celebrate a successful war of anti-colonial liberation.
Each Thanksgiving Americans celebrate the colonists who occupied North America against the will of the original inhabitants.
The rest of the year is spent not thinking about the tense relationship between those 2 things.

Racism is thinking that an Afghan shooter’s actions say something about other Afghans that a white shooter’s existence doesn’t say about other white people.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

I don't deny that dogs can sometimes be quite lovely but what I will say is I don't trust their opinions. If a cat recommended me an album it had bought, I'd totally check it out. If a dog did the same, I'd promise to listen to the album, out of politeness, with no intention of actually doing so

This is the way. Start the series over. Stick close to the novels even when it gets cringe. Give us the look and feel of The Day of the Jackal

His Majesty’s government will certainly need spies in hell. Just set the film there.
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."

stores you can wander around in should give you a button when you enter, to pin on your clothes, that lights up when you press it. this is to indicate that you want an employee to offer to help you. If it is not lit they must leave you alone. actually I'd love this for the rest of life too.
