David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 10hIn an attempt to garner more support from Alaskan voters, Trump (via his proxy, Nutlick) tells them he's got $200bn of investment for an Alaskan pipeline from South Korea. Of course, it's total bull💩 but the positive spin it generates will gain a few extra votes for a lame duck candidate. 000
David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 16hI wonder how Scott 'I am the house' Bessent thinks his market interventions are going? Please put an X on the graph to show the point at which he made his foolish, hubristic... some would say moronic... pronouncement. 110
David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Donald J Trump In the SI context, his new slogan should be; *Keine Arbeit macht frei* 010
David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Growth in the #NASDAQ100 v rise in US debt (both since 2000). Corporate tax receipts are now less than 10% of GDP. The Big Beautiful Bill will cut federal tax receipts and the forever war with Iran will increase government spending on defence. Borrowings will continue to grow exponentially. 000
David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Trump's constant whining about how the EU have been ripping off the US over trade is just the usual Trump 🐄💩... They always talk about goods trade isolation... but add in the services trade and it's all pretty even. 000
David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Incredible that Nicolo Bulega #NB11 is only the second Italian #WSBK World Champion (Max Biaggi in 2010 and 2012 is the other). Incredible season… let’s see if he can bring that sort of performance to #MotoGP. 120
David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 22/09/2026The US administration has already sold more than $13bn of Venezuelan oil and only $400m has been passed onto Venezuela by OFAC. That is state piracy. Now they're taking control of $4bn worth of Venezuelan gold (moving it from London to NY). Hey Germany... time to take your $170 bn of gold back! 000
David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Q: Why do the US have near daily press 'gaggles'? A: Because #Trump is a narcissist and needs a daily dose of adulation to feed his insatiable need to be 'admired'. He's not 6'3", doesn't weigh 200 lbs, didn't get into Wharton on his own merit, doesn't have bone-spurs... he's a fat orange wanker. 230

David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Hey @matoxley.bsky.social In the podcast you said that the Ducatis will be back to normal in Montegi because they won't be using the hard carcass rear tyre there. I'd agree with that statement, but can you explain why this tyre didn't work at the RBR this year but it did every other year? 🤷♂️ 110
David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 21/09/2026How did a #Ducati circuit become a #KTM and #Aprilia circuit? Gigi? 000
David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 20/09/2026He’s finally done it… #PA37 is a #MotoGP winner. Thoroughly deserved, and the strength of character to put yesterday’s get off to the back of his mind is off the scale. A certain #MM93 can probably see that the writing’s on the wall. 2026 is perhaps his last shot at beating the #VR46 win record. 251
David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 17/09/2026This photograph shows that #ScottBessent knows as much about tailoring as he does about the bond market... What say you @dieworkwear.bsky.social 000
David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Simultaneously asking Ukraine to stop attacking Russian oil/gas infrastructure whilst threatening tariffs on those who do buy it... I'm sensing a cognitive dissonance here. 000
David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Do you think that spending so much time with Trump makes his facial expression permanently look like he‘s smelling shit? 000

David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I've listened to all the usual MotoGP podcasts predicting that the 2027 World Championship is pretty much a done deal... another great Marc Marquez triumph over adversity. I'm not so sure... I'd explain my reasoning but the MM93 'lickers' would just pile in so it's probably not worth the effort. 220
David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 13/09/2026#Aprilia are working hard to lose the 2026 #MotoGP World Championship… which I find quite disappointing. 120

David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Financial engineering v Market fundamentals... #ScottBessent : "“I have asymmetric information.

David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Massive lack of self-awareness. We don't want to do business with the US on their one-sided terms at the expense of our largest trading partner. We don't want deals that are "signed in pencil". We don't want US tech to rule our lives. We're done with the "special relationship". #SpurnedLover 110
David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 04/09/2026#LewisHamilton is iconic. His late career success with #Ferrari and enduring sense of style transcends the generally staid and predictable world of motorsport. He pulls it off, seemingly with ease, and ploughs a lone furrow. Is he marmite? You bet, but he stirs a reaction… which is what he wants. 020
David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I hope that Cambridge University take immediate action against James Orr, after pressuring Jason Arday to resign for ‘academic misconduct’ they need to be even handed since this looks very much like solicitation of an illegal donation… bringing the university into disrepute. #JamesOrrResignNow 001

David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 29/08/2026I’m going to get lots of abuse from the ‘lickers’ with this statement, but if #MM93 doesn’t win the sprint and the GP at Aragon (on a circuit where he’s a ‘nailed on’ winner)… it spells the beginning of the end for MM93 and Ducati dominance. #MotoGP 120
David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 25/08/2026In 2016, when the US debt was $19 trillion, #Trump promised to halve it. In 2026 the debt hit $40 trillion. He didn’t halve it, he doubled it. #CasinoBankruptcyEconomics101 020
David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 23/08/2026 Not sure the headline writer knows much about motorcycles… (Translation: sleep well next to a Ducati 916). Doh 🥴 220
David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 19/08/2026#MAGA are incensed by the indignity of this kind of mockery of the man/child holding the office of #POTUS... but I'm all for it. He's a convicted fellon, an adjudged rapist and likely a pedophile who is dismantling US democracy piece by piece. Nothing is taboo for this POS. 130
David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 18/08/2026The US is now $40 trillion in debt. The interest payments are in the region of $1.2 trillion for 2026. #DonaldJTrump is responsible for 30% of this debt. The latest $1 trillion of debt was accrued in the last 5 months! Thank you for your attention to this matter. 140
David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Trump/RFK Jr. suggest a link between circumcision and autism. Isn’t this borderline anti-semitism? Or does the fact that it’s also anti-Muslim mean it’s a balanced view. Hard to know in the white supremacist Judeo-Christian nightmare we’re currently living in. 000
David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 16/08/2026This is social media brainrot. He's heard the fiction that Trump has done everything he promised to do so many times it has become a truth. Prices down ❌ No more wars ❌ Cut the deficit ❌ Drain the swamp ❌ Mass deportations ✅... only one out of five and this dipshit couldn't even name it. 000

David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 15/08/2026#Venezuela The #Trump administration have 'raped' Venezuela's oil revenue for $13 billion since ousting #Maduro. When you buy Venezuelan oil you pay to an #OFAC account in #JPMorgan and it appears only $400 million of that income has filtered its way back to the people. This is piracy 🏴☠️ 100

David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Tell me that #MotoGP fans are cult members without telling me MotoGP fans are cult members... #MM93 gets nearly 20% of the vote for 'Rider of the Race' for finishing 7th, only the 3rd best #Ducati on the track. 🤯 381
David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Quality bike set-up from #DucatiCorse… If you’ve run out of tyre on lap 5 of a 10 lap sprint you’re not really in the sweet spot of tyre management 😂 260

David Pickworth @davidpickworth.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Americans fuck up everything. Firstly, it’s called football, not soccer. Secondly, we go to watch said ‘football’, not to watch a pop concert… half time is enough time for a piss and to get another beer. Thirdly, it’s a game for the ‘common man’, not a showcase for VIP’s and brainless influencers. 210
