Think about buying a car, a fun, stress-free negotiating process that everybody loves. Now imagine that if you don’t buy a car you die and if you buy the wrong car you also die
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

Comrades, it’s time for another thread about lessons I learned as a union organizer writing/working campaigns for public employees across multiple states from 2008-2024. Here’s a big one: leaders of progressive organizations are often FAR more conservative and risk-averse than their base 🧵 1/x

Update for everyone in Mass!
UPDATE! Several senators have filed amendments that, if passed, will significantly strengthen the bill! Please urge your senator to vote for Amendments 1, 4, 5, 6, and 18. This must be done before Wednesday, so the sooner the better. More details...1/5

Bond walks into MI5 HQ. Moneypenny gasps “James, you’re alive!” Bond smiles and winks. “I’ll have to tell you about that sometime.”
So a new film opens with the ending of No Time To Die. Cut to Q wandering down into a vault and opening up a crate. It contains a new Bond played by a new actor. Q activates it and asks its name. It replies "Bond. James Bond."
Every comic book writer is listening to this novelist whinge about how hard it is to bring a character back from the dead like, “bruh”

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

this is so silly. people know the deal with bond. the writers should just embrace the metatextual aspects of the franchise
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."

At least the robber barons built the fucking railway system. All our tech lords seem to be doing is enshittifying everything and seeing crashing the world economy as a goal, so they can bailed out.
"JPMorgan on Monday said building AI infrastructure will cost more than $5tn"
Crazy idea: Why not, rather than spending $5 TRILLION dollars to pay for data centers to create fake brains, just pay actual human beings with real brains that same $5 trillion?

Never has there been a case of more "good fucking riddance," but it's not unamusing that they're hightailing it right after the first snow storm hit. Chicago has a built-in defense against unserious jagoffs and it's called winter.

This point absolutely correct and I will add that Mamdani demonstrates that an insurgency, even one with real moral clarity and anger at the status quo, can still be cheerful and inviting.

Note that this is the US public domain. Some of these are already public domain elsewhere, and some will not be for a while. Be sure to check local laws before putting a film into production based on your Miss Marple/Betty Boop slash.
Looking at what's entering the public domain in January, and it looks like 2026 belongs to the girls.

There’s an additional important point here. The reason they were being investigated is they were involved with planning the autogolpe & insurrection on 6 JAN. They dragged the investigation out by claiming their devices couldn’t be reviewed because of the Speech & Debate clause. 1/

So much for a clean CR good through January 2026 with full year minibus for 3 agencies. I guarantee there’s more of this type of thing yet to be discovered because none of the Democrats that voted yes read the fine print. It’s bad enough that they’re craven & feckless, but they’re also ignoramuses.
