70 years ago today, Ian Fleming gifted us Moonraker—a James Bond novel about a fascist billionaire rocket scientist secretly plotting world domination while playing footsie with the Russians.
Wild stuff.
Good thing it’s just fiction.

It's fake. If it's real it's out of context. If it's not out of context it's not that bad. If it is that bad it was necessary.

I can smell my hometown skating rink when I hear this song.
Happy b’day, “Photograph” — Def Leppard’s first hit, released 42 years ago today.
“I remember being in the common room,” said Joe Elliott. “We were watching cricket, and hearing through the [studio] wall this riff .. We all sat up and we looked at each other like, 'What the fuck is that?'"

I was already in the bag on this, but now knowing Kyle Chandler’s in the cast … take my money.
Excited that #Lanterns is now in production. DC Studios’ new show for HBO and Max, from creators Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, & Tom King, starring Kyle Chandler & Aaron Pierre, is something really special.

The notion that aid to California should be contingent on political change is downright evil.
It shows how ineffective leaders have become when affecting change with relying on the pain of those that most need help.

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad
Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆
