it's also aged better than most Bond films because over half of Craig's movies have been "Licence to Kill, But Worse"

Bonds ranked by their real-life ability to beat your ass:
Lazenby
Connery
Craig
Brosnan
Dalton
[gap]
Moore

and that's not counting the one guy who died just by getting shot, but that one might have been the best because FUCK that guy

Chris Laporte @laportereporte.bsky.social · 11h

The deaths alone were incredible! In no specific order:
-impaled on forklift
-exploded in decompression chamber
-doused in cocaine-laced gas + lit on fire
-dropped into cocaine pulverizer
-drove off cliff in flaming truck
-eaten by shark after getting hit w/ briefcase of money
-electric eel

Dalton deserves some credit for it as well

there are only two films on my Bond Movies S-tier and that's one of them (From Russia With Love the other)

Plus: say what you want about the concept of Jonathan Pryce as the Bond Villain but he and the rest of the production let you know *exactly* who he's supposed to be

And while Craig gets credit for making Bond a person it was Brosnan who really did it first, like having him interact with an ex

No one in this administration seems to realize that there are more Republicans in the Northeast and on the West Coast than there are *people* in the Deep South or the Plains states

the president using the office to punish americans that didnt vote for him should really be one of the biggest scandals in americas history

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 21h

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

Core to playing this down is pretending that "Young Republicans" aren't 40 years old with top positions in both the party and government. One's a state senator.

Message from the mods labeling the image of Smithers covering his eyes from strippers in my skeet about Mike Johnson being Trump's Smithers as "Sexually Suggestive (Does not include nudity)"

What this article fails to discuss is that the World Cup games in question are at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, which is [checks notes] NOT IN BOSTON

And he should know this because he briefly attended a Jets/Pats game I went to 15 years ago (his helicopter took off during the 2nd quarter)

Trump threatens to yank World Cup games from Boston though it’s up to FIFA to choose sites

The city is set to host seven matches.
