You could, with the escalation in power of the last few movies, “Wold Newton” Fast & the Furious, John Wick, Mission Impossible, the Pierce Brosnan Bonds into one world.
Yes, the Brosnan Bonds. This Bond belongs with the Fast & the Furious. Not the dude trying to kill three guys in his dark wet family summer cabin and moping about it. (Bonus Michelle Yeoh hail to the Queen) via @YouTube
Oh, and welcome to Wold Newton, you young nerds.
And FWIW I’d give my left arm to write an exchange perfectly summing up everything great about 50 years of a character in TWO WORDS.

“Trapped.”
“Never.”

That’s a perfect diamond of dialogue right there.

1/ I will give a shit about these letters when I read a single leaked "agents implore their bosses to go back to the bargaining table." deadline.com/2019/05/wga-ag… via @Deadline
2/ Hey, remember when the agencies big offer was 1% of the package, with 0.2 of that going to "diversity"? Sell THAT'S some good faith bargaining.
3/ This is always the attitude of the press and power when this sort of conflict emerges: "Why can't [not the giant corporate money] be more reasonable when negotiating with [the corporate money]."

It's interesting "dignity" is a recurring theme with Biden. It scratches the same itch as the hurt pride and loss of status consuming so many voters, who are treated as commodities in late stage capitalism (or just old and ignored). It's the lighter side of the nerve Trump hit.
The way I always shorthand Humanism is "I believe in the fundamental dignity and worth of every other person, and I believe I have a responsibility to help as many people as I can as much as I can before I die." You see dignity pop up a lot in human rights writing.
"The dignity of work" is a bullshit phrase often meant to shame, and I prefer Warren WAY MORE on policy and will support her in the primary, but don't underestimate the resonance of that approach with older and more white bread voters.

Because I’m always amused at the horror of my friends whenever I break out the toolkit: pre-breakfast art hanging!
That said, this Ryobi battery has been hinky the last few times.
Might have to switch to the Bosch. Which is both a tool brand and a detective.
And yes it’s level @agflynn . Weighs a ton though, needed to throw wallbuddies on the back. Amazing the difference between glass (20 year old frame) and the plexi.

The New World Order

By J. J. Smith

The Illuminati is considered by a significant number of people to be a covert force that has created or taken over groups & organisations to manipulate the world in their desired direction &...
that it is now part of a global elite sometimes described as the New World Order. The Illuminati is believed to be a leading vehicle for manipulation, but by no means the sole vehicle.
Adam Weishaupt was a Bavarian Illuminati who, on 1st May 1776, with the financial support of the House of Rothschild, founded a German expression of Illuminism.

1) Gah. OK. Here's a thread on the Australian neo-#Nazi groupuscule (see Roger Griffin, 'From slime mould to rhizome: an introduction to the groupuscular right', @POP_Jrnl, Vol.37, No.1, 2003) Antipodean Resistance ...

2) First, a coupla general obs. This disclaimer in James Hearnes' analysis of 'Siege' is worthwhile, but its application is not straightfwd, & raises a no of difficult issues.

Since it is #Bhamini & #ಹಳೇಸರಕು time, 😂 here is something I had written a while ago. Some history - I wrote and staged a Kannada play called "No.3, Panchavati" and during that time wrote a few verses calling them "THe first day at Panchavati" -verses to follow in this thread.
The inspiration for the verses was this art by Ramesh Acharya:

ತರುಣಿ ಹರಿಯುವ ನದಿಯ ನೋಡುತ
ಲರುಹಿದಳು ತನ್ನಿನಿಯ ರಾಮಗೆ
ಹರುಷ ತರುವೀ ತಾಣವಿದು ಬಲು ಸೊಗಸುಕಾಣುತಿದೆ|
ಸುರಗಿ ಹೂಗಳು ಬಿರಿದು ಸುತ್ತಲು
ಪರಿಮಳವ ಹರಡಿಹವು ಕೇಳ್ ನಾ-
ವಿರಲಿಕಿದುವೇ ಸೊಗದ ನೆಲೆಯಹುದೆಂದಳಾ ಸೀತೆ || 1 ||

#Bhamini #Shatpadi #ಭಾಮಿನಿ #ಷಟ್ಪದಿ
ಇಳೆಯ ತನುಜೆಯ ಕೂಡೆ ರಾಮನು
ಬಳಿಯ ಗೋದಾವರಿಯ ದಡದ-
ಲ್ಲಿಳಿದು ನಿಂತನು ಮೆಚ್ಚಿದನು ಎಡೆ ತಕ್ಕುದಹುದೆನುತ |
ಉಳಿದಿರುವ ವನವಾಸ ಕಾಲವ
ಕಳೆಯೆ ಸೊಗವಿದೆನುತಿರೆ ಸುತ್ತಣ
ಗಿಳಿಯವಿಂಡುಗಳಳಿಸಮೂಹವು ಹರ್ಷ ತೋರಿದವು || 2 ||

You get to your office about 9—late, but the bus got tangled up in Summer. You've hardly taken off your coat when she walks in, dressed like an aristocrat's idea of unassuming. You're no fool. She's clearly one of the nine queens.
Uh oh.
"I need your help," she says.
She's surprised by your acquiescence, which surprises you: The queens are used to obedience. This…may have been optional. You try to match her face to the photos you've seen in papers & on posters. Dark hair & eyes, wearing blue: she must be Mab, the Queen of Night. She speaks.
[suicide mention]
"Did you see in the paper last week—the docks—"
You nod. "The human. Murdered. No suspects."
Mab is pleased. "Yes. Then yesterday, someone in my court—the police ruled it a suicide, but I know: it was murder."
Of course it was.
"I want you to look into it."
