So, the US is installing concentration camps and sending out jackboots to do the bidding of a dementia-riddled sociopath and his fascist entourage. But… nothing to see here, just a normal day in capitalist “democracy”.

I met Aroha at MIFF 2025 Accellerator Lab. He was so funny and full of life and just so damn funny. Fuck cancer. Will miss you mate.

What do the Black & Tans, the Black Shirts, and the Brown Shirts all have in common? They were all paramilitary thugs appointed by the ruling party of a fascist government to keep the public fearful for their lives through sanctioned violence. Same as ICE.

Imagine if China or Russia talked about a NATO nation the way the USA just did about. The world would be up in arms. But “no”, this is 2026, and fascism is in vogue.

Welcome to 2026, where the bully of the globe can illegally enter a sovereign nation, kidnap its leader, and then say that it “runs” that nation. Then, the same bully send “warnings” to neighboring nations that “the same” could happen to them. Fascism really is making an unwelcome comeback.

There are 242 working days in 2026. If you write just one page a day - just 250-300wds, roughly 5 Bsky posts - you will have two full scripts or a novel by New Years Eve.
If you write just two pages a day - just 500-600 words - you will have five scripts or one epic novel.
Just. Keep. Writing.

Rob Reiner was a legend. The films he directed, produced and shepherded into existence are too many to sum up in a simple post. They shaped our future and he will be remembered fondly. RIP.

I can honestly just wait a few years to revisit the US. In no rush at all, too many other countries to see and visit before attempting to enter a militarized zone again.
Citizens of countries including the UK and France will have to disclose the past five years of their social media history to visit the US even though they are covered by visa waiver schemes, under new proposals by the Trump administration.
