There’s this man-bun prick on the train who is mouthing off and asking if he is invisible because people keep knocking him. The thing is, the dumb cunt literally has his legs in the aisle and is expecting people to step over him. I’d like someone to leg stamp him.

Every time I read @themattshaw.bsky.social I seem to forget just how sick and twisted he really is. Reading obscenely bizarre right now and seriously, unless you have like zero triggers and are into extreme extreme horror, you really really don’t want to be reading this. Great stuff!

Never understood posts where people say, "Tell me what book / film to read / watch next". I tend to just look at what takes my fancy and go from there... Or people asking others to convince them to finish a book / film. If you dislike it, move on. Why do you need someone telling you what to do?

Few screenshots of our feature film GPK. We should have it full edited by tomorrow evening. Also, fun fact, this production was under police investigation for a few months. A couple of weeks ago we got the news, "No Further action".
