"Scrub-a-dub-dub, Google removed all traces of Bill from Jeffrey's tub."
"Not my 007!!!"
Language warning, as the article displays tweets from angry white men that are laced with profanity.
And in response to one of the tweets, can you imagine if Lashana Lynch actually was a shemale? All the blood, bone and [to some degree anyway] brains from exploded heads...

...Had no idea that Miss Lynch was a Brit. Dayum. If my memory serves me correctly, she was so convincingly American in Captain Marvel, too.
Colour me surprised.
Also, I don't care who they cast, but aren't they painting themselves into a corner by casting her as "007"? I mean, let's be honest here, even if James Bond starts the movie off "retired", he'll eventually have to come back into the fold, so what code number will MI6 give him, then? Kill her off early in the movie to make way? Imagine the fallout from that!
Besides, even if the producers don't do that, we know this will be Daniel Craig's final outing as Bond, so come sequel time, they'll have to recast the role with another actor, and I just can't see them sticking with Lynch at all. Unless she lands a massive hit between now and that hypothetical casting situation and raise her profile enough to shut the naysayers, I just can't.

Bond has already been assigned another number in canon...in Fleming's You Only Live Twice.Also, I don't care who they cast, but aren't they painting themselves into a corner by casting her as "007"?

Ah but Bond was transferred to the diplomatic branch where he was given this number, and 4 digits, in addition to being more than 3, is also obviously[?] more diplomatic...7777
I think 3 7's would have made more sense, but I guess 4 is 1 larger.

...obviously...

Edit:
It took me a moment to notice that.

The implication was that Bond being given a different designation isn't earth-shattering; it's happened before.
He left. He was replaced. He comes back...and presumably he gets a different designation upon his return. Or maybe he doesn't come back, really, and the Bond character operates in a similar manner but in a different capacity.
Edit: That last possibility isn't something that thrills me--Bond is a "double-O" (except when he briefly wasn't)--but then the last movie I saw was Casino Royale and I really haven't been compelled to sit and watch any of the more recent ones even as they have been made available to me. The last one I really enjoyed was Licence To Kill (yeah).

I'm in a similar boat as you, not having read the [Fleming*] books in many years. A quick search reveals mention in Moonraker of a Cedric having gone missing in Singapore. I vaguely remember the missing agent in Singapore but I have no recollection of a name or a designation.
Apparently 13 designations have been given in the various works, with some having been recycled.
*I haven't read Bond fiction beyond the Fleming novels.

"We just started frying up some turkey legs and hoped for the best.”It's not such a weird crossover, particularly in the modern usage of "renaissance" and it sounds like they all had a great time
Sounds like it would have been awesome.

I'm late to this but The Hard Times is a satirical website, think of it like a heavy metal Onion.
Anyway, a basketball player has been banned because a urine sample "he" provided showed he was pregnant.
