It is honestly hilarious to watch all these high-dollar professionals wring their hands over something that literally does not matter even a little. It’s James Bond. He’s been nine different middle-aged dudes for 70 years with no explanation. No one is asking for one now and no one cares.
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.”

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Nunsense continues. This one actually has two pages, but the joke gets across with one. One of my biggest pet peeves in these sort of movies has been the upside down cross: The symbol of humility. Yes. Super scary.

Looking forward to hearing how the book is. 👀
Pre-unusual-book-reading prep (for those who’ve been following events further down the thread): Buying junk food and booze to fortify me through this work. First: crisps/potato chips. I go for plain ones to prevent possible unexpected lactose intolerance issues. (1/n)

To Courtney's point, it's hella important that you look up your state's policies. For example, in CA, you can vote in primaries for any party regardless of affiliation EXCEPT presidential which is either closed or modified-closed. Before you switch, make sure you can still vote.
Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

Talked about the prospect of another pipeline and Carney's recent comments on my Monday political panel.
As I said, the biggest impediment isn't regulations or even Indigenous opposition but the lack of a viable business case.

One century ago, standard, mid-range, catalog shoes went for 2025 $30-50 per pair, were repairable (glued soles hadn’t become common yet), were made of leather, would last for several years and could be Ship of Theseus’ed on soles, fasteners and heels.
They were better shoes for less.

I worked harder on this book than any before it. My ex-publisher then failed to pay me what they owed me for it & did their best to ruin its chances of survival. That robbed me of a year of my life & ruined my health.
After all that, to see reviews like this one brings me close to tears too.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
