Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

Seems pretty quaint now that a Republican presidential candidate would brag about a DEI initiative that included “binders full of women.”

It’s very interesting that Matt Gaetz (a live-action Reggie Mantle if there ever was one) and Alan Ritchson (a Big Moose) grew up as rivals in the idyllic town of Niceville. We might have a real-life Riverdale on our hands.

The Nazi salute should’ve been reason enough, but now the US is going to cut Ukraine’s access to Starlink if it won’t hand over critical minerals. What happens when the US wants northern Ontario’s resources? If Doug Ford really wants to “Protect Ontario,” he needs to #CancelStarlink now. #OnPoli

The Hoodoo Gurus are an underrated band, and the only reason I don’t listen to them more often is that any time I hear “Like Wow - Wipeout!” I know I’m going to lose the next hour trying to remember where they ripped off the drum beat from (it’s the Routers’ “Let’s Go (Pony)”; you’re welcome).

Is Amazon going to ruin Bond? Probably yes. Am I excited to see the reactions of the worst complainers about Rings of Power being ruined by DEI now that the same people are taking over their Cold War toxic masculinity power fantasy? Also yes.

At least Luke Null can chalk up being cut from SNL after one season as a computer error.

Thinking of taking the hinge bolts off my toilet seats so my kids can lift them even higher before dropping them with ear-shattering violence.

It’s great that the US government is spending $400 million on armored Cybertrucks before they invade Canada.

Fact: The Beatles officially measured between 5’11” (Paul, John, George) and 5’8” (Ringo). By contrast, the average height of Judean men in the first century BCE was about 5’5”. The Beatles WERE bigger than Jesus. Get over it.

I’m completing a rewatch of The Good Place, and the portrayal of the Good Place Committee as an endlessly compromising and deeply ineffectual parody of Democratic leadership has aged incredibly well.

Hockey fans can look forward to next year, when there won’t be any booing of one of the anthems at the Three Nations Face-Off.

I dreamed last night that the proprietors of the local hole-in-the-wall Italian restaurant let me come in the back room and watch The Sopranos with them, which was obviously an incredible honor. Then I saw all the ducks dead in Tony’s pool and had a panic attack about bird flu and being unmasked.
