I take it you’ve never seen ‘Goldfinger.’ Lesbian stunt pilot [movie]/burglar [book] Pussy Galore falls for James Bond after he ‘seduces’ her.

The beautiful but deadly minority woman has been a thing since the Fu Manchu books.

Back in the day, cigar makers would hire a someone to read the newspapers out loud during working hours. Sometimes the staff would choose different books/magazines.

Smart people know how little they have learned. Dumb people are sure they can figure out any problem.

There was a short lived cartoon series between the last episode of TOS and the Motion Picture.

In one episode all the males are hypnotised by an alien creature, and the women have to save them.

The line was ‘This is Lieutenant Uhura, I am in command of the Enterprise.’

The ad lib that was cut was ‘…at last.’

It was a feature in a British comic called ‘2,000 A.D.’ Most of the features were ultra violent and/or satirical. Dredd is a Judge in Mega City 1, the future version of New York City. Nuclear war has devastated the outside world, and only a few Mega-Cities survive. After the fall of the Constitution, the citizens put the Judges in charge. A Judge can arrest, try, and sentence any lawbreaker. The Judges aren’t elected, they self select by picking the best young cadets and training them.

The stories range from straight forward adventure to obvious send ups.

Overstock.

Buy two bottles of cleaner. One in the kitchen, one in the bathroom. Tool box lives in the garage, but I have spares in the kitchen drawer. Trash can in every room. Extra shoelaces sitting on the shoe rack. It doesn’t take up a lot of space and it makes life much easier when you don’t have to look for something.

I like in old science fiction when the ‘future’ tech is behind what we have. ‘The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress’ has a sentient computer struggling to invent CGI.

17,000 people died because they listened to Donald Trump’s medical advice.

You aren’t the stupidest person in the world.
