James @jeopick.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Horrible premonition: in 30 years time someone will make an awful movie, likely called something like “BEF: best enemies forever”, about how Trump and Zohran had a hidden friendship and mutual respect. The movie will use sentimentalism to say: trump wasn’t so bad, maybe he was secretly nice. 000
James @jeopick.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Started accidentally calling it ‘Romeo Vs Juliet” in conversation recently. Safe to say that I now have some bold new ideas that Robert Eggers could use for his adaptation. #romeoandjuliet 100
James @jeopick.bsky.social · 01/05/2026In listening to @zackpolanski.bsky.social discourse on @mrjamesob.bsky.social: People have a lot of opinions on whether or not repeatedly kicking someone in the head is an appropriate response to a fear around a potential bomb vest. They all seem confident. I have no clue. 100
James @jeopick.bsky.social · 22/01/2026Loving my bi-annual rewatch of @straczynski.bsky.social Babylon 5. Amazing to think there was a period of time you could watch both B5 and Deep Space 9 on TV at the same time. Bonkers that there seemed to be a confected rivalry among fan bases, would love that much great sci-fi now. 010

James @jeopick.bsky.social · 08/12/2025Additionally, legalizing (for example) cannabis could possibly aid research in understanding use, withdrawal, side effects, and treatment. Assuming it imposes a standardized naming and dosage practice, helping to clarify what exactly people are taking, how much, and what interactions are happening. 021
James @jeopick.bsky.social · 04/12/2025The only use I have found for anything purporting to asses IQ is in assessing for dementia or learning disability. To treat is as anything other than a clinical tool for outliers is reckless. 010

Because usually no matter how hard you work, the compound interest on huge wealth grows much faster than your wages + the rich use this passive income to buy all the assets.

James @jeopick.bsky.social · 19/06/2025I think it was @devononearth.bsky.social who described the UK and US as lacking object permanence. They live in fear of turning off a light and forgetting it wasn’t always dark. 030

James @jeopick.bsky.social · 13/04/2025One of my favourite things about putting my eldest daughter to sleep. She’s 3 now, but most recently, after a long day at work, she fell asleep she said “daddy you finished work”. My heart melted. 020
James @jeopick.bsky.social · 06/04/2025I remember being at a crossroads of wanting to either be a psychologist or screenwriter. When I had the thought that I could be the best screenwriter ever (which I absolutely was not) and it would still be a lottery for success. It made choosing a path a lot easier. 020
