Killing James Bond was titanically stupid.
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."

Not the main point here (that’s the craven cowardice in the face of lawless authoritarianism & being totally wrong here), but it is worth mentioning, since everyone is going to rail at “The Democrats,” that Angus King left the Democratic Party…32 years ago & continues not to be a member of it.

This gets at the nature of political power. Right now at the federal level Republicans have the vast majority of it. Not all, but much, much more than Democrats. And when you have that advantage you can put the other party in lose-lose situations & force them to make unpopular choices.
I need those ACA subsidies.
My neighbors need food.
I’m not going to fault the only party that wants us to have both for only being able to secure the food.
Be mad at Republicans.
Be mad at your maga family.
Use the rest of your energy to give Democrats a majority.

HiPOD: Frosty Alcoves on Kaiser Crater Dunes
In this image, the dunes are partially free of seasonal ice, with the contrast making it easy to see the ripples. Deep alcoves have been carved at the crest of the dune.

OTD in 1989, the Berlin Wall didn’t fall, the East German government unveiled a “reform package”.
Which until the beginning of the goodwill gestures was the best Tankie cope of all time.

Dusty Dvoracek, btw. What a titanic asshole.
ESPN memory-holing replays the obvious helmet to helmet targeting hit on Luckie after these dogshit announcers repeatedly sell “led with the shoulder” is utterly despicable.
I may hate this game now. It’s like the earth falling away under my feet and just… not caring?
