WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

I think I want to cry now, or scream, or howl like wolves...💔😡😪

DePalma & Scorsese look like they’re in an indie film about a washed up C&W singer who sells his soul to Satan for one last shot at stardom.

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

So, let's hope you're not on maternity leave, or in a war zone, or in training, or at home with the flu, or just on holiday hiking up a mountain. Because Elon - an entirely unelected foreigner, with zero security clearance, who apparently now runs the US - will decide everyone's fate, every Monday.

He nails it.

Ironically, many scenes of "The Death of Stalin" were filmed in Kyiv, a city now resisting putin—the new Stalin. Once a symbol of Soviet power, Kyiv stands as a beacon of defiance. The streets where Soviet tyranny was portrayed now witness Ukraine's fight for sovereignty.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Happy Wednesday! We can do this! - Michael

Isn't it ironic. After decades of paranoia about "Reds Under The Bed", America failed to notice who was IN BED with the man they elected.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Went out for lunch with my son and his girlfriend today and I think my best joke, shortly after we arrived at the cafe, was when I said “Right - I’m going to the loo; does anybody want anything?”

Desperate to see the alternative version now.

This is deeply disturbing…

Nazis went to Cincinnati. Nazis got chased out and their flags burnt. But this, this is what Trump, Musk and West are emboldening and perpetuating. Why the fuck isn’t there global outcry? People are just watching this happen.

Watch what Trump says here. Then watch it again. "I would own it." Gaza. He would own Gaza. Not America. Him.

This is pretty shocking. Make sure you look in the lower right hand corner.

Just in case you thought the 🍊💩’s cruelty came with his decreased mental capacity

The start of week three:

Basically, this guy’s clones are in charge of every branch of US government

I thought it was an ice sculpture - then an ear moved! So rare & beautiful! 🦌✨

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

On January 20 I stopped using X. I should have deactivated the account, but assumed it was safe. Unfortunately it has been hacked by crypto scammers. I'm now shut out of it and out of X, so I can't close it down. I've appealed, but it may take some time. In the meantime, what you're seeing isn't me.

Do you need Harrison Ford in a kilt? because I needed Harrison Ford in a kilt.

"I was a heroin addict for 14 years," RFK Jr just now in his bid to be confirmed as Secretary of HHS. Imagine a person of color or a woman saying that and people shrugging it off as cool. That is 100% pure uncut white male privilege right there.

Could you please sign and share this if possible. Used to love going to this cinema when I lived in London.

Lovely to know that viewers of #TheTraitors have donated as much as Alexander would have won.

Things to Remember Tonight: 1. Keep pets inside and play classical music to hide the noise of bagpipes. 2. Keep your haggis in a tin and only take it out when you plan to read a poem to it. 3. Never go back to a lighted haggis. 4. Burns should be run under cold water immediately.

Wishing a happy Burns Night to all my friends around the world celebrating the immortal bard #BurnsNight
