Man, 2020 is showing us that 2016 was the scout team, but it’s the real thing.

Some of the greatest memories from my childhood are spending Saturdays with my Pops watching James Bond flicks on TBS.

Caught one of his late in life’s flicks, Finding Forester and realized every...body...gets...old.

On an even more serious note, I always felt that James Bond was the blueprint to fighting white insecurity without sacrificing to many of our own people.

Espionage on these racist, or nothing. Think John Allen Muhammad.

Anyway, not to hijack Sean Connery’s moment: thanks for the top shelf entertainment. Your mark has been left.
