Amazon finds a writer for its James Bond flick: Steven Knight.
Amazon announced its Q2 earnings results today, and at the same time said that Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders, See, Dirty Pretty Things) will be the writer of its first 007 movie, which Denis Villeneuve is already set to direct.
According to Deadline’s inside sources, even with those roles locked down, it could be a while until we hear about who will carry on the starring role, as Knight works on the script and Villeneuve is finishing up Dune: Part Three.

The image features a creatively designed dessert, likely a soft-serve ice cream cone. The ice cream is swirled into a ghost-like shape, with a smooth, white texture. Two blueberries are placed on top to resemble eyes, and a raspberry is positioned in the center to mimic a nose. The ice cream is served in a clear glass, with a brown paper wrapper around the cone. A black plastic spoon is inserted into the ice cream. A small card with the text "bondolfi boncaffe" is attached to the ice cream, indicating the brand or café. The background shows a wooden table and blurred chairs, suggesting an indoor café setting.

I agree with much of what's in this post but nonetheless it kind of irritates me. It is long past time to stop talking about this in abstract, neutral terms, as though simple truth vs. falsehood is the relevant distinction. That just elides the real problem ...

... show more图像展示了一辆色彩鲜艳的模型有轨电车，车身装饰有可爱的卡通角色，包括兔子、猪和一个类似章鱼的角色。电车的侧面印有“CHiiKAWA DAYS”字样，车头编号为1133。车顶有一个红色的受电弓，车窗上也贴有与车身图案一致的卡通贴纸。电车的背景是绿色的，与卡通角色的活泼形象相得益彰。
在图像的下方，有一个卡片，上面印有“CHiiKAWA DAYS”的字样，背景为浅蓝色和绿色的方格图案，与电车上的图案相呼应。卡片上同样有三个卡通角色，与电车上的角色一致，它们的背景是绿色的方格图案，上方有“CHiiKAWA DAYS”的字样，右下角有“[@]nagano”的标识。
图像右上角有“八通通 Octopus”的标志，表明这可能是与日本八通有轨电车相关的主题。整体图像色彩明亮，充满童趣，适合儿童和卡通爱好者。
