Seconds before the explosion there is a <snap>! Little did we know that HMSS had a prototype teleportation device that pulled Bond back to their top-secret facility where they were able to cure the deadly poison, but at the cost of turning the older man into a younger man of a different race.
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."

This seems like the most straightforward and also basically accurate message.
instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

A lot of people claim they hate MONEY, yet MONEY keep winning elections for a reason. Sometimes it’s just that MONEY is something you can get from your parents.

KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business.

-if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her.
-if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet.
-instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.

It's actually not swindling to tell people what they want to hear if you actually intend on doing those things. Swindling would be something like, just for example, announcing a fake Hyperloop system solely to kill California's high speed rail initiative.

28% fatality rate? Jesus Christ our nation is doomed if we don't punish these people such that it never happens again.
“Multiple cases have been reported where CBP agents have shot at cars, pursued vehicles causing them to crash or rollover, and even used their cars to run over migrants. Twenty-eight percent of victims have died of medical issues or potential medical neglect …”
“… a total of 351 people have died as a result of an encounter with Customs and Border Protection agents since 2010. CBP’s culture of abuse and reckless use of force has led to the deaths of many U.S. citizens and noncitizens both at U.S. ports of entry and in the southern border region.”

Holy smokes I don't watch politicians speak often (not even Mamdani). But look at this and compare him to leaders in Washington.
Instead of holding him at arms length they need to be having him give seminars.

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

This has personally been such a traumatic week for us. Our dog got very sick, both kidney and liver failing. The pet hospital was able to save her, but we don't know the extent of the damage.

This really captures my feelings about Newsom, and this idea of leadership should apply to everyone in the Democratic tent.
This is why Gavin Newsom is a non-starter for me.

Sure, he's "a fighter" who's landed a few good punches on Trump, but that's not the same thing as a leader.

A real leader doesn't fight back against an authoritarian takeover by using the most vulnerable as his shield.
I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

I assume the point here is that if they are "criminals" guilty of the "crime" of homelessness, then the 13th amendment doesn't apply.
