This is an imaginary problem. No one cares. This is a whole new Bond. You do not need continuity between Bonds. Just tell whatever story you want to tell by jumping right in wherever the hell you want him to be. If continuity mattered, Bond would be, like, 100 years old.
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.”

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

I refuse to believe Senate Democrats are actually this dumb, but they definitely think we are, and it's fucking infuriating.

It's not like the shutdown was why they weren't working with you. They were already not working with you before the shutdown. They have literally never followed through on any agreement to work with you, and have never shown any willingness whatsoever to work with you. Quit trying to gaslight us.
Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

Just absolutely inspired work from Senate Dems to stomp out the one brief thread of hope kindled by last week's elections and toss everyone back into despair. Five days. Truly a master class in momentum killing and vibe destruction.

It's fine though because they themselves have untouchable healthcare for life and never have to worry about this.
Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

I really hope this is true because caving here, when the GOP was just finally starting to have to actually feel the wrath of their constituents, is indefensible.
I think Senate folders are significantly underestimating how fucking angry Democratic voters are at them

A fun question. In 5 years time, what looks better? The US’s enormous bet & capex on AI? Or China’s equally enormous bet and capex on renewables?
China has made cheap, clean energy available in huge quantities. The world should take the win econ.st/4oqFszB
