Anyone who thinks that putting data centres in space is a good idea has been chugging too much of Elon's Jizz-Aid. Musk would need to: A/ Repeal the First Law of Thermodynamics B/ Bribe the Second Law C/ Tell the Stefan-Boltzmann equation to take a hike. tl;dr it's fucking stupid

I wonder what percentage of working screenwriters would consider themselves right-wing or far-right-wing. Quality feature screenwriting in particular (not tv, books or any other writing) requires a great deal of natural* empathy - which is something that is sorely lacking in right-wing brains.

Donald Trump is like Keyser Söze from The Usual Suspects. The difference now is that literally everyone knows that he's Keyser Söze, the movie has been ruined, yet people are still munching on their popcorn waiting for the punchline. #Trump #Epstein

Two fictional characters who would make a better president than Donald Trump: Chance from Being There Forrest Gump N.B. Trump is what Forrest Gump would have been if he was a grandiose, sociopathic, malignant narcissist. No-one would green-light that movie!

We in the UK have grand plans for Trump's Turnberry Golf Club after it's been "annexed" by the Scottish government. #Trump #Turnberry #Greenland

The irony of the Trump administration claiming that Venezuela's election wasn't "free and fair". Of course it wasn't, but then neither was the last US election. What a mess. #Venezuela

I have started writing a new feature screenplay called "The Epstein Chronicles". This is the first page as a teaser. It's a dark, gripping tale of secrets, scandals and cover-ups. #Screenwriting

Donald Trump is the most desperate for attention human being who has ever lived. In history. Can you think of anyone who comes close? #Trump

So, it looks like Bluesky might be the only social media app that doesn't algorithmically push RW trolls into every thread (for now). Given that 90%+ of the rest of traditional US media is now owned by RW billionaires, and even with Trump's approval ratings low, how can the Dems win?

I guarantee that Trump will be a two-term president. As to how long the second term is, now that's the tricky bit.

If Rose West had been dangled the carrot of day release and a comfy cell, she would have happily declared that she had never seen Fred's best mate Don at their house with a blood-stained shovel.

#Screenwriting Hello everyone. Would love some feedback. After weeks/months of working on a logline for my completed feature script, I've whittled it down to 3 words, one of which is a conjunction. "Flock or Glock"

Trump will crow about countries scrambling to contact the white house to negotiate, but the US will no longer be viewed as a reliable trading partner (mob tactics) so trading alliances will form and new sources of goods will be found. From gloating asshattery to a massive own goal.

1/2 So Trump thinks himself King. You know I wouldn't mind so much if he was more like Charles II, rather than Charles I, who: # Believed in the divine right of kings, asserting that his authority came directly from God and not from Parliament or the people.

Hey, #America - if you want a king, I recommend joining the commonwealth and having Charles as head of state. That would 1000 times better than the current shit-show.

#America Brit in London here. I think we need to put the "special" relationship on hold for a while. Your county is now a menace to civilisation and needs to be treated accordingly. Europe needs to stand up and be counted to lead the West.

#Screenwriters Should not getting past first base on a screenwriting competition be as gut-wrenching as I feel right now? My script has been really well reviewed by a few professionals I have shared it with, but the rejection still hurts. Should I take these comps with a pinch of salt?

Hello #BlueSky, I'm David, English, #Londoner, #Screenwriter and business founder. As a problem-solver, I'm keenly focussed on policy rather than politics. My ideas are radical and progressive, but absolutely not driven by ideology. Label yourself, not me. I'd like to build a network here.

The cat's out of the bag. If a narcissist non-stop lies, demeans and disparages, and co-opts ultra-rich sociopaths to join them, you can take over entire countries! The chart below explains how this is possible.

This is my first post. Don't be gentle, I can take it. Interested in screenwriting, esp if you are a producer or financier as I've got projects ready to go. Plus will make friends with anyone who is dogma-free (of any kind) or just kind and courteous in general.
