Thank you for providing something for the rest of us to point people to.

My grandparents on one side lived through a Nazi occupation. On the other, The Blitz. So I get really annoyed at those who compare Trump 2.0 to that.

But I also know my Arendt and my Orwell. We can't let this escalate.

Me too. I thought it was stupid when he launched it, and seeing one in person exacerbated that 1000%.

But yeah, "Wet Nellie" was partial inspiration. There's also an Easter egg in the Tesla software that puts it on the screen, and Elon owns the prop car they used in the film.

We are what they grow beyond, as Yoda said.

How did she react?

Oh, yes, ut's SO good. They were totally robbed with 'Spectre'.

Speaking of, this Danish band almost did the song for Tomorrow Never Dies, but EON did not want to take a chance on an internationally unknown artist. They liked the song and wanted to give it to another singer. The band refused.

Me too. So does Elon. You know that it was one of the inspirational for the Cybertruck, right? Go figure. That's enshittification if I ever saw it.

You are so right.

It also has one of the best Bond songs. In fact, Nobody Does It Better than this film.

Oh, and the digital watch with the telex 30 years before the iPhone? Hell yeah.

And THAT Lotus Esprit.

That's The Spy Who Loved Me, if I'm not mistaken. That's not the one of the best Bond films. It is THE best Bond film. Period.

If nothing else for that moment where the Union Jack parachute unfurls and the horns play the B-section of the Bond theme with all their middle fingers sticking up.

Happiness is a Warm Knife?

Wow, that was fast. Good job.

I remember that game! I used to play it a lot as a child around 1983.

Considering just how much coal has been part of British identity previously, this is a fantastic achievement.

I'm juuust old enough to remember the strike in 1984-1985 and how everyone got to know the name Arthur Scargill.

HOW DO THESE BOOKS GET PUBLISHED? WHO REVIEWS THEM?

That's what Idesaid.

I really don't like what you are counting down to here.

I don't know if you had started when Amelia graduated? She was a big reason that I joined.

By a grad of the same program, no less!

I often think of intelligent elevators when a chatbot gets too sycophantic.
