Sorry, didn't see your follow-up before posting. I'm not usually dissing others' fun :-).

The bournification of Bond. It turned every spy movie for a decade into a sweaty, de-coloured Mission Impossible clone without any fun or whimsy. I mean the best Bond films of that era wer probably XXX and The Incredibles :D.

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

Yes. And it absolutely sucked.

As Breaker first reported, CBS News has invited both Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller to be guests at their tables at the White House Correspondents' dinner just days after Ellison's cocktail soiree.

You might or or might not (but I’m guessing might not) be surprised to learn that CBS News invited Stephen Miller to be their guest at the White House Correspondents Dinner.

Hegseth, too.

Boston Globe mock front page from April 9, 2016. Date says April 9, 2017, with giant headline “DEPORTATIONS TO BEGIN” and “Markets sink as trade war looms.”

Ten years ago today, in April 2016, the Boston Globe printed a satirical front page imagining a future Trump administration. The page was called "alarmist," "hyperbolic," "dystopian." But we’ve put up with so much since then it now looks like . . . a slow Thursday?

Pretty much this. He changed humurous fantasy from also-reads like Asprin to main genre touchstone and common reference point. The question is more, how much genre there is past him. Although I would say the whole cozy fantasy ala Baldree would not have been commercially viable w/o him.

Regarding Fantasy I would say the Dragonlance books introduced so many tropes into the mainstream that they split the genre into tolkienesque and D&D-inspired commercial fantasy.
