@avidfilm Moonraker, the novel, has an ending right up there with OHMSS. The movies of the 70s are their own thing and have little to do with the characters Fleming created.
THIS: Jameis Winston just gave a masterclass on unity after Jaxson Dart faced backlash for introducing President Trump. 🔥
“Everything doesn't have to be viewed in this perfect little snow globe, and everything doesn't have to be perfect. But we have to support each other. We have to promote love, because love is a stronger feeling than hate.”
A message America needs right now.
@SNYGiants
@jamesbondlive Like the way this is going. The best movies stay true to Fleming. The first two or three movies with a new actor tend to be good because they play it straight with how Bond was written.
Jeff Bezos explains to @AOC how billionaires are created: providing at least a billion dollars in value to society -- the opposite of exploitation.
Bezos: "Let me give you a simple example. Let’s say you start a burger joint, and you have 10 employees, and you make a little bit of money.”
SORKIN: “Right.”
Bezos: “Until you have — this is — this just one — one outlet. And by the way, these are the most delicious burgers in the world. People love your burgers, Andrew. And so then, you open a second outlet —”
SORKIN: “Right.”
Bezos: “— and now you’re making a little bit more money, and you have 20 employees. Nd you open a third outlet. By the time you’ve opened a thousand outlets, you are a billionaire.”
SORKIN: “Right.”
Bezos: “And by the way, this is a real life story, it happens all the time, it’s In-N-Out Burger, it’s Raising Cane’s Chicken. At what point did that money all of a sudden become unethical, or it didn’t? There was one outlet, and then there were two, and then there were three. What you’re doing — the way — the way you make a billion dollars, or a hundred million dollars, or 10 million dollars, or anything, is you create a service that people love. And if millions of people choose your service, you’re going to end up with a billion dollars.”
SORKIN: “Right.”
Bezos: “And you can, you know, just try it with a chicken franchise.”
SORKIN: “Do you think though —”
Bezos: “But your chicken has to be good.”

Artemis II Delivers the First Human Observation of the Complete Orientale BasinDuring the lunar flyby phase of NASA’s Artemis II mission, the crew captured the first-ever images of the entire Orientale Basin as seen directly with human eyes.Orientale is a multi-ringed impact basin approximately 930 km (about 580 miles) in diameter, located near the southwestern limb of the Moon (as viewed from Earth). Because of its position straddling the near and far sides, only portions of its concentric rings and ejecta blanket have been visible from Earth or in previous orbital imagery at certain illuminations. The unique vantage point and trajectory of Artemis II allowed the crew to observe and photograph the full structure — including previously foreshortened or partially obscured segments — in a single, fully illuminated view.Formed roughly 3.8 billion years ago by a large asteroid or comet impact near the end of the Late Heavy Bombardment, Orientale is the youngest and best-preserved large impact basin on the Moon. Its well-defined concentric rings (the outermost Cordillera ring, the Outer Rook, and Inner Rook) provide a textbook example of how massive impacts excavate deep into the lunar crust and mantle, followed by gravitational collapse and rebound that create the characteristic bull’s-eye morphology.This new human-taken documentation adds valuable high-resolution visual context to existing datasets from spacecraft such as Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, GRAIL (which mapped its gravity anomalies), and earlier missions. It will support refined geological mapping, studies of impact dynamics, and preparation for future surface exploration in the region.The observation underscores that even well-studied lunar features can reveal new details when viewed from novel human perspectives during cislunar missions.The Moon continues to hold scientific surprises — and Artemis II is already expanding our understanding of its complex impact history.
That’ll do it on an unbelievable @TexasWBB season, not the result we wanted but the future of women’s basketball at Texas is bright, thank you to our seniors.
Longhorns forever 🤘🧡
