I’m excited to join Bluesky and add my voice to a community where engagement isn’t all about the clicks.
Instead I’m here for the ideas and diversity of opinion - as opposed to the dumpster fire over there on Billionaire’s row (aka X, formerly Twitter).
So let’s chat!

Madeleine Dean is great.
MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell
JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too
D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?
J: I didn't see it
D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

Why is it animal cruelty when a man kills his pet peacocks but it’s not when we kill a billion chickens a year in a heinous industrial process akin to the Holocaust?

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

With its sale to Concord Originals, I hope RKO Pictures returns to making seminal movies and backing daring artists as they once did with Orson Welles.
As my doc The Lost Print will show, even despite the awful re-editing, they still greenlit The Magnificent Ambersons!
