The D @d-hq.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Dear BSky, This is a global forum - yes ? So may I respectfully suggest a new post category - esp for non-US people - in which angst/outrage over Trump & current US political turmoil is banned. It’d be good to discover if normality still exists and discuss what rest of world’s up to right now. Tks 020
The D @d-hq.bsky.social · 30/08/2026If Trump can arbitrarily rename Lake Ontario, any reason Washington DC can't now be known as Poutineville ? No ? Didn't think so... 000

The D @d-hq.bsky.social · 20/07/2026This WCup a total crock. Too many teams/timezones/rubbish games. Too hot/expensive/l o n g. Over-hyped/over-blown Final halftime show. And Trump's usual "it's all about ME" trying to to hijack closing ceremony. But at least best team won. And sanity returns in Spain/Portugal/Morocco 2030. 000

The D @d-hq.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Only Trump could fuckup the W. Cup by "asking" his FIFA lapdog Infantini to give US star Balogun a walk after a red card...thus outraging upcoming US opponents Belgium AND Europe's very powerful; very vocal; and very p'd-off football governing body UEFA.

The D @d-hq.bsky.social · 03/07/2026In view of continued speculation, need to confirm I *am* among the select 4,500,000 guests at the upcoming Swift/Kelce wedding. Slight hitch that tho the nuptials are at MSG, my table's in Queens, seated alongside Kanye, Kim K, Katy Perry, the NYJets Defence, and other close buds of the bride. 010
The D @d-hq.bsky.social · 21/06/2026One overlooked Trump achievment is thanks him and his proxy Netanyahu, Israel's been transformed from a generally tolerated, grudgingly admired country, pluckily standing-up to its many enemies, into an aggressive, universally unpopular, minority-opressing rogue state. 001

The D @d-hq.bsky.social · 05/05/2026So when the Supreme Court has revealed itself to be just as venal and corrupt as the rest of those who actually hold power in the US right now, who you gonna call ? Ghostbusters ? America rapidly disappearing down an endless dark tunnel. 010
The D @d-hq.bsky.social · 04/05/2026Writing finds you out. I can't write fiction. (Tho not for lack of trying). But I have written 13 commissioned/published non-fiction titles; endless blogs/articles; and now - as I wind down - a regular magazine column. So if one genre defeats you, never give up. Keep going until you find your niche. 010
The D @d-hq.bsky.social · 03/05/2026Supreme Court tenures for life are absurd. Re-election needs to be tagged onto each Presidential race, along with - like the Pres - a 2-term max for all Justices. 000

The D @d-hq.bsky.social · 27/04/2026Even to a mild cynic, so much wrong with the latest alleged assassination attempt, that another ratings/ballroom-boosting bid can be the only explanation. In the circs, Trump declaring he "wasn't worried" not exactly galaxy-shattering news. 010

The D @d-hq.bsky.social · 24/04/2026OK...so the world's richest are a bunch of dog turds. But surely by the law of averages, there's one seriously wealthy guy who's actually pretty nice. Treats his staff well and has a social conscience ? 000
The D @d-hq.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Despite spending gazillions on hand-stitched bespoke suits, why does Pete Hegseth inescapably look like a midWest used car dealer who's fallen on hard times ?

The D @d-hq.bsky.social · 31/03/2026If King Charles has an ounce of sense, he'll cancel his upcoming US trip. In situations Trump might even facilitate, he'll be endlessly ambushed by press/politicos shouting Epstein q's at him. Charles may one day engage with the issue, but not in the frenzied bullring atmosphere of a US media circus 100

The D @d-hq.bsky.social · 23/02/2026US Mens Hockey team - without grace or class in victory. The US Ryder Cup golf team - without grace or class in defeat.
