, and for the first time, Sam Elliott gets a title card. He didn't have a lot to do in this episode, but I guess this was a pay bump for him, so that's pretty good.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

America always has been. Dictatorships are more predictable partners than democracies, so America gives weapons to everyone who wants to overthrow democracy, especially in South America or the Middle East.

The only way to win is to do what keeps losing, because what just won can't win. At a certain point it stops being gaslight and starts being deadlight.

there are a lot of Dems out there who are finally drafting their own dog to play basketball after being dunked on over and over again instead of just complaining to the refs they're just in the states instead of DC

It's wild that for decades the Republicans explicitly stated reason for not letting DC or Puerto Rico vote has been "but they won't vote for *us*" and everyone agrees that's a perfectly reasonable objection in a democracy.

Wow, for some reason all this talk about sadists reminds me of that guy who saw someone get badly injured, and his only thought was "oh no all that blood will stain my beautiful marble". I wonder what happened to that guy?

Oh my. Hear me out...I think that he's had some significantly bad medical news from his doctors and he still has enough cognitive function that it clicked. Trump is so narcissistic that he views the entire world as an extension of himself. He is the only significant person in his universe.

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.

The solution to "but we blew up Bond in the last movie" seems obvious to me: make the next one a prequel. Return Bond to his Cold War roots with 60s gadgets and luscious midcentury cars, fashion, and decor. The stakes for the plot are already established and couldn't be higher.

i think if the democrats had dug in their heels and said "this is the epstein shutdown. trump is starving the country because he doesn't want the epstein files to come out" they probably could have ended him. so it was very kind of them to not do that

There was a 2003 remake of Dragnet, created by Dick Wolf and starring Ed O'Neill? That sounds like the kind of thing I should have known about!

The key here is @they’re gonna feel like entrepreneurs.” Trump knows that this is always a pathway for support from a certain segment of Americans - mostly men. The desire to “invest” and be an “entrepreneur.” Even without expertise, capital, or the resilience to endure failure.

How about, you call the movie "You Only Live Thrice" and make no mention of it, beyond a vague implication that MI6 had faked his death (again).

Obsessive devotion to continuity is the enemy of epic/mythological storytelling—especially when there are many authors involved. Whether we're talking about Star Wars, superheroes, or Bond, the answer is to nail the essence of the story and care less about making it all "fit."

My feelings about the BBC are largely in line with my feelings about the NHS. I think it is vital we have a publicly owned and funded broadcaster and its enemies are my enemies, but I *detest* the way it's talked about as some gift to the peasantry we're supposed to be fawningly grateful for.

In all honesty, I think there's a 50-50 chance of a cholera outbreak in the US before the end of the decade.

Let’s be clear: this is class warfare. Tens of thousands of working-class Americans are going to die because of this “deal.” Real people. Real deaths. For another tax break for the rich. Those who voted for it — Republicans and Democrats — are on the side the 1%, fighting against the rest of us.

anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle

I remember when multiple Home Secretaries were terrified about the political repercussions of giving Myra Hindley some tiny crumb of comfort. Like, after every election, the new Home Secretary would make an official statement that she would definitely die in prison.

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.

In the last month, the FBI has charged players from two different leagues for roles in sports-betting scandals. Either legalized gambling is exposing corruption that’s always been there. Or it’s creating it. Either answer is terrible for sports.

Go volunteer for a progressive launching a “hopeless” campaign against an extremely entrenched incumbent currently squatting in a safe Blue seat. The worst thing that happens, is that you drag the incumbent to the Left. Best case? Zohran Mamdani, who was polling at 6% in January.
