This guy who after a traumatic experience with an obsessed fan decided to swap the dangerous world of being an author for a desk job in the safer world of publishing where no unhinged oddball would ever barge into his life & psychologically torture him again.

Name two characters you think are the same person.

Tragic to see what's happened to the sorting hat from the original Harry Potter films. Abandoned by an industry that should've protected him, destitute & ravaged by drug addiction. A terrible reminder of the destruction that the fallout from sudden wealth & fame can wreak on a life. 😢

New Painting - 'Highland Happy Shopper' Opening a shop (online obvs) to sell prints of some of my recent paintings next week if anyone is remotely interested. Watch this space!

If around 250,000 of you are at a loose end & decide to rent this tonight - I'd probably earn enough money to be able to treat myself to Tesco Meal Deal in a couple of months 👍

Listen to this traitorous piece of trash. How the fuck is he still president?!?

Trump laments that Russia's generals were too incompetent to end Putin's war of aggression against Ukraine on the first day

Dalton, Georgia is the carpet capital of The World. I went there once & naively expected to be treated like a long lost son but instead nobody gave a solitary shit about my surname.

very tepid applause in Dalton, Georgia, when Trump tells his fans "you're doing better than you've ever done"

The data centre bombings by Ukraine must've been really devastating for the troll farms because we've just had a plane fly over our neighbourhood dropping 10,000's of leaflets filled with Russian misinformation.

The excellent young actor Ethaniel Davy (who played the lead in a movie I wrote called Chicken Town - now on BFI Player 😉) is in this. Not only is he an astonishing actor but he's also a thoroughly decent, thoughtful & cool young man. Trust me, he's going to be a star of the future.

Hate this. I was diagnosed. It made me realise that I'd been needlessly beating myself up for years over being less than, "lazy" & a chronic procrastinator. Now I have meds (which I tactically deploy) I can turn the internal thought volume down & my mind can finally focus on tasks at hand.

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

Oddly mesmerising watching one of the local wood pigeons enjoying a shower on the shed roof this morning. Obviously birds don't have armpits but what do they have - wingpits?!

Probably the cover art for War of the Worlds. I used to slide this out of my Dad's record collection & gaze upon these images with grim fascination when I was about 5 or so.

In honor of scary media month: what is the first piece of media you remember truly frightening you as a child?

I had a dream last night that Cher sang Graceland instead of Paul Simon & TBH her version was pretty good & totally worked with her voice. Also I am on very strong painkillers.

Where does this end? You don't need people to make music for you to enjoy. You don't even need people to enjoy making music - that's a waste of time, AI can do it. In fact, why do we even need people?

The government really need to do something about online scams. On YouTube an entirely false story is being pushed about Jeremy Vine being arrested at Television Centre for promoting a crypto trading site.

It's fast making the internet unusable as you have to wade through tons of AI crap to find any real, human created content. AI videos, AI podcasts that use 1000's of words to say nothing and even AI music being pushed. It's all so dismal.

Sorry to rant but I've just had an operation on my feet and I'm not allowed to walk for two weeks so I'm frustrated with navigating my way through this dirge in the quest for entertainment.

The government really need to do something about online scams. On YouTube an entirely false story is being pushed about Jeremy Vine being arrested at Television Centre for promoting a crypto trading site.

It features the above image of the police keeping protesters IN the TVC grounds (why?) gathered around an overturned police car. The protestors are apparently there to insist on the release of Jeremy Vine who has been arrested because he revealed how people can make money crypto trading

The link takes you through to what is presented as the BBC News website with the full story. On the face of it it's ridiculous but we all know by now that there are a huge amount of credulous people out there that will fall for ANYTHING. The AI slop scam factory is out of control.

AI Slop Teslas talking to each other Algorithms driving people into hate Tech bros cosying up to a demented pedophile Can't help but think that this guy might've been misunderstood. He knew what was coming & tried to warn us.

I wouldn't put it past Trump to nuke a U.S city in an attempt to stay in power. The time for this syphilitic madman to be removed from power was yesterday and the day before that and the day before that and the day before that etc

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

asked about gas prices, Trump says "if you want to see turmoil and a travesty, let them take out a city with a nuclear weapon ... let them hit us with a nuclear weapon"

Imagine forming your entire identity around this issue instead of actually doing something productive for society. These guys are just sad bullies who are channeling their bitter disappointment in their own life outcomes into hate. "I'm a patriot" So f**king what?! 😂

Man, I wish political parties could devote some attention to policies which don't involve hurting people once in a while

You know that saying about how the way they treat asylum seekers is the way they’d treat everyone else if they thought they could get away with it? Well,
