James Bond producer shares update on 007 casting: ‘It’s got to be really different’

I’m telling you this as a political scientist. The person who is electable is the one who is elected. This can and does change over time. Any and all speculation about “electability” is either puffery or anxiety and is often both.

One way to be safe is to never write an electability take

credit where its due, very classy statement obviously meant to bring her supporters over

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

considering how well things are going in new york, the lesson here is clear: fuck these people

The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 22h ago

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

If you think bikes cause traffic, you are without a doubt a complete fucking moron.

Papa Rides a Bike@paparidesabike.bsky.social · yesterday

Susana Mendoza just slammed the Archer Av. bike lanes as a debacle that has made traffic worse, saying that Archer used to be a great shortcut & a fast thoroughfare. On @wbez.org with @sashaannsimons.bsky.social Anyone who has ever traveled on Archer knows this is BS. It's always been a car sewer

Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.

A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?

It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better

Are you saying the DOJ withdrew that pool vandalism indictment… upon reflection?

I believe this 100%. The moral injury of the period, the grief from not just the too and so many deaths but the kinds of lives we had before, the laying bare of disposability, the non covid deaths it sped, the institutional strain, the collective fear and distrust, the prioritization of work anyway

The Fig Economy@figgityfigs.bsky.social · last wk.

One of my Crank Theories of Everything, at least of Everything in the Recent Past, is that we are dealing (badly) with COVID trauma we’d mostly prefer to pretend never happened.

I continue to hope that the California left will one day realize that housing scarcity is toxic to the causes they care about.

The best podcasts are the ones where all three of the hosts energies are so distinct and perfectly complementary that if the show has even 1% more from one of the people it falls apart completely, you need a loud person, a thoughtful person, and a person who says weird stuff that’s the ideal setup

I feel like it's being overlooked that not only are the labels way off, most of these colored shapes are NOT EVEN ACTUAL COUNTRY BORDERS They literally just saw fucking random blobs on a map and said good enough

At least this time when the lazy bastards used AI to do their job they didn’t blow up a girls elementary school.

I expressly want to get back to talking about Spurs and not World Cup politics but I just have to say: If I were UEFA I’d threaten to leave FIFA by the end of the week unless certain protections are guaranteed for the integrity of the world’s game. One of which: no private equity.

Weird how much discourse around the Mamdani grocery stores ignores the existence of the Green Cart intiative (launched under Bloomberg) that provides subsidized fruit and vegetable stands across the city under the exact same logic as the grocery stores

not sure how anyone can stay on an app thats fighting in court for the right to generate non consensual nudes of people, including children

Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.

Neither YIMBY nor NIMBY, but a third, secret thing (a NIMBY)

"Remigration" is the polite term for forced deportations of unwanted minorities and ethnic cleansing. The punishment for being a "traitor" is execution. But yeah, you've got to stay on Twitter for baseball highlights or some shit. I get it.

Toby Buckle@polphilpod.bsky.social · last wk.

the restore 'remigration' plan musk has endorsed would see 10 million brits forcibly expelled

Today marks the 36th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. It’s a day of reflection on our progress and an affirmation of commitment to the ADA's promise in Illinois. We’re building the inclusive state our people deserve with true equity and accessibility for all.

lots of reporters suddenly worried about slipping into communism but strangely f*cking quiet about slipping into fascism
