Call a bondulance
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."

Remember that Greg Abbott, governor of Texas, pardoned someone convicted of murder largely based on similar text messages he'd sent that same day.
There's so many of these btw, NoVa right wingers realizing that their neighbors genuinely hate them

Lawmakers have tried removing the beak from the octopus burgers they insist on forcing you to eat. Critics have pointed out that the fundamental problem is that the burgers are slimy and weird and nobody wants them, but surely an extra slice of tomato will help?
KOSA UPDATE: House lawmakers are considering removing duty of care & KOSA is currently in limbo since the House & Senate versions will differ.

BUT the threat of Bad Internet Bills still looms as the House considers age verification in new kids safety package...

Deploying tear gas is not assault. In fact it's SO not assault that any effort to kick it away IS assault.

...huh?
Loevy plays a video of a woman's arrest. Hewson says the woman was "assaultive" because she kicked a can of tear gas that had been deployed.

Loevy: "When you tear gas somebody … and they try to kick the tear gas canister away from them, that's assaulting?"

Hewson: "Yes."

Defense begins, “This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper.”

Biden admin was no saint. But there is no there there to claims that it was censoring social media says @noupside.bsky.social at @theunpopulist.net. Nor is there any comparison with what Trump is doing. Both sideists are doing a real disservice to truth www.theunpopulist.net/p/no-there-n...
No, There Never Was a Biden Censorship-Industrial Complex
The real threat to free speech is MAGA officials using this conspiracy to justify their own censorship

In an unsigned 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court has awarded Trump the prize
Rep. Buddy Carter: "Donald Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. That's why I'm introducing a resolution today that will honor him with the Nobel Peace Prize."

OK. That's a ban imposed over a day after the post went up. The ban is initially for threatening content. He appeals. They appear to accept that it is not threatening, but affirm the permaban on "hateful" and "disruptive" grounds.

Anyone see a reason I shouldn't think this is pretextual bullshit?
Unfortunate update: Link reached out to BlueSky and got email back now on reason.

His appeal is denied. He will remain permanently banned on BlueSky’s side.

Here are the screenshots he just sent me as of 8:22 AM EST(my time)

It helps with emotion regulation. There’s a difference between a CEO who is mildly annoyed with their userbase and grumbles about it over beer… and one who is so upset that she’s posting for days on end from a place of active disdain toward the trans community on here

BREAKING: In an unsigned order with a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court has stayed ABC's decision to end Jimmy Kimmel's suspension.
It sounded like Kimmel was driving a pretty hard bargain on coming back on the air—Disney was begging him, not the other way around—so let's hope this is interesting variety.com/2025/tv/news...

I don't remember when my old joke that the FedSoc's end goal was to overturn Marbury v Madison stopped being a joke and became a warning. But question 2 is the setup for doing exactly that.
BREAKING: SCOTUS will hear a case over whether it should overrule Humphrey's Executor — in a shadow docket order that also allows Trump's firing of Rebecca Slaughter as an FTC commissioner to take effect while the appeal is considered, which should not be allowed under Humphrey's Executor.
