The only way a James Bond movie makes sense now is to have it be a period piece. Nothing about Bond fits in 2025.

Anyone who thinks like this has no business being a screenwriter, my goodness.

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.”

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

In all seriousness why would you put tariffs on things which cannot be produced domestically? I’d say this is economic policy written in crayon by a third-grader, but that would be selling third graders short.
Groceries saw their biggest jump in nearly three years last month, a worrisome sign for inflation-weary shoppers. Tariffs are contributing to higher prices for imported staples like bananas and coffee.

They panic about fertility rates, say families need to be having more children, then they starve the kids and ensure health insurance is impossible to afford. Plus all the other things that would dissuade people from having kids: houses impossible to buy, diminishing middle class, ICE everywhere.
Breaking News: The Trump administration told states to undo any steps to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families, threatening financial penalties if the states do not comply. It was unclear how that would affect the program.

This is truly outrageous and in a just world the Heritage Foundation would be destroyed much like USAID was, never to darken anyone’s life again.

Overall, I found FRANKENSTEIN to be beautifully designed, well executed and just all right. I did enjoy the moment where Victor’s brother tells him “YOU’RE the monster.” GDT taking zero chances on subtext.

Watching GDT’s FRANKENSTEIN and my initial impression is that it’s gorgeously designed and a little boring.
