Ok so I went back and watched all the Daniel Craig 007 movies and have a good working knowledge of Bond movies and my hot take is that nobody wants to follow legendary shit. Craig wore it well and didn't wear it out

Google DeepMind has hired the former CTO of Boston Dynamics (yes, the dystopian robot dog company) to help build Gemini into a sort of operating system for robots. Great scoop from @willknight.bsky.social

They're so fucking stupid and don't realize it. The only reason many white students can afford graduate degrees is because foreign students pay for the programs and allow them to be economically efficient. Without foreign students, many programs will now simply collapse. Genius.

"Things happen"
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

This is the unifying characteristic of most Heinlein fans tbh
Imagine organizing your whole life around a movie whose central point you missed.
Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino "also revered Starship Troopers, Robert Heinlein's 1959 military sci-fi classic about an interstellar war between humans and alien bugs - a book his sister says he still reads to this day."

You are a random Dem running in 2026 -- say, for some House seat in some swing state. You're on local media. You're asked: "what are three reasons that energy prices are rising & what are three things you'd like to do to bring them down?" What's your answer?

WAR ON CHRISTMAS ALERT
Fox guest on how to save money during the holidays:
"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."
