It will never not be compelling to me that the same people who produced Goldeneye - a fun, campy Bond in which Bond is both younger than he was in Licence to Kill but also apparently was around in it, also said “you know what Bond needs? Lore!” in the 2020s.
“It’s impossible to reboot Bond” says production team who decided Bond first got his licence to kill in the 21st Century, as Daniel Craig, then got incredibly old within two films and was being put out to pasture, but also had Sean Connery’s 1960s car.
It’s Bond. Just do whatever the fuck you like.

Think it's probably quite useful to get AI advice from someone that used to work at Open AI.
There’s a good chance the British Prime Minister’s main adviser on AI is an OpenAI shareholder - but the government refuses to say whether she is.

When are people going to start talking about the clear cognitive decline of the president?
With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

Reeves should be aiming to get off two cycles: “every budget is an ordeal, every minor fluctuation in the forecast is a nightmare“ and “we did some small tax tweaks to raise £2bn and whoopsydaisy, something has fallen over unexpectedly/inflation is higher”.
I’m with Vince.
And 2p on income tax plus 2p off NICS to raise £6bn feels like being hung for half a lamb.

There’s nothing wrong with it as a policy, other than it just raises much, *much* less money than just raising income tax. And Labour needs to be one and done with tax rises. The way they’re doing this…won’t raise enough.

New post just out:
Why the criminal justice system should be top of No. 10's "shit list".
No part of the public sector is more broken or brings with it greater political risk. As we saw these past two weeks.
It desperately needs a new approach.

I think thermostatic politics is an understated driver of political dissatisfaction. Significant minority of the population keep asking for stuff, getting it, hating it, rinsing and repeating. This is like the fourth big swing since mid-2010s. Maddening.
i think it is possible that people overinterpreted trump's win in 2024 because they wanted harris to win, and have not adjusted their priors for the data showing his agenda is historically unpopular and voters don't want him/his party in charge

DHS confirmed it has stopped automatically storing officials' text messages.
Instead, officials are supposed to take a screenshot, send that to their work email, download it onto their work computer and run a text-recognition program on it. Every time.

Cannot overstate how unhinged and insidious what Candace Owens is doing with Charlie Kirk’s assassination. (Short version: a lot of huffing and puffing and “just asking questions” to lead people to believe The Jews Did It)
The final reason is antisemitism. Influencers like Candace Owens are promoting antisemitic conspiracies about Jews and Israel and those ideas are gaining traction with young conservatives.
@zackbeauchamp.bsky.social had a great write-up on this over on Vox.
