This level of rot isn’t pull and replace. This is completely deconstruct and salt the earth so that it may never regrow level. On a VAST scale.

The thing that keeps coming back to me is how the American people have almost definitely (at this point, based on the evidence) been actively and intentionally defrauded for nearly a decade, to the tune of two illegitimate elections (as a result of said concealment) and unquantifiable damage done.

Even if it would be a retcon or change in tradition, "James Bond" can simply be the operations name for 007. It seems pretty simple (to me) and I don't think anybody would care if that was the explanation.

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

With all the pull the Premier League has, you’d think they’d negotiate with somebody (not sure how it would work in practice, mechanics-wise) an agreement or law where you show your hotel and train company your match ticket and they allow a reservation change without any additional fees.
Arsenal and Crystal Palace’s Premier League matches initially scheduled for December 21 have been brought forward by one day.
The move comes after both sides, who play each other in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals on December 23, requested that their fixtures be moved due to scheduling issues.

I won’t ever forget that the right are the true architects and to blame in all of this, but every time more bad shit happens, I can’t help but think about the people who stayed home in November 2024 and / or didn’t vote for Kamala Harris.

For what it’s worth, four points clear means that Arsenal can match City’s results, lose at the Etihad, and still win the Premier League.
Some people getting a bit too worked up about the draw.
To y’all’s credit, the majority of the reaction has been refreshingly calm and sanguine.

Flew into LaGuardia for a wedding this weekend. Plane came down the Hudson with our side to Manhattan at night.
Had never done that before - pretty darn cool. It felt like I could reach out and grab the skyscrapers!

I hope that Republicans see what happened in elections today and decide they weren’t far enough right.
They should definitely all move even further to the right.

I don’t think you can be the Democrats’ minority leader in the Senate (from NY!!!) if you cannot say you voted for the Democratic nominee for mayor of NYC.
Q: It's election day in NYC. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo?
Schumer: "Look, I voted, and I look forward to working with the next mayor to help NYC."

An important part of every Arsenal matchday is Gunner the rescue dog’s pre-game walk so that I can watch in relative peace.

My proudest moment as an Arsenal supporter was when Alexandre Lacazette (and his teammates) knelt in front of the Slavia Prague players, who refused to do the same, after one of their players had racially abused Rangers player Glen Kamara in the previous match.

The FOX announcers just mentioned Rams head coach Sean McVay’s friendship with Mikel Arteta - how much he’s learned from him and how he applies coaching insights from the Arsenal manager.
And dropped that we are top of the league.
