The Order with Jude Law is a powerful, beautifully written and acted film. Jude Law is awesome. #TheOrder #JudeLaw #AryanBrotherhood

Have you ever been on the fence about whether to quit as a writer or artist? I did. This was my decision. tinyurl.com/yc6hxkpk

I am now the proud adopter of a gorgeous adult Tortoiseshell cat. On the fourth day, she's almost completely come out of hiding. What a mysterious beauty she is! #TortieCat #Catlove #NewCatDaddy

Last night I saw Flight Risk. The critical dogs are barking because of MG's involvement, but the film was a superbly directed and acted thrill ride. Two thumbs up. #FlightRisk #CancelCulture #MelGibson #MarkWahlberg

In January 20, 1961, the temperature at noon was 22 degrees and 8 inches of snow had fallen in the morning. John F. Kennedy still had his inauguration on the steps of the Capitol.

Honestly this might not be the planet for me

Pam Bondi has the same illness as Pete Hegseth. Once again, I say...these hearings should be simplified: Refuse even one time to answer a "yes/no" question with a "yes/no" answer...and your ass is out the door and no longer eligible for confirmation. This should apply to both parties.

As an author, nothing is more satisfying than seeing the cover of your newest book for the first time. DEADLY HEIST is the story of Denver's 1991 bank massacre, where a retired cop was charged with slaughtering 4 security guards and making off with $200K in loot. Slated for release 2/16/25.

Two movies I've just watched and loved: Down and Out inn Beverly Hills: Nick Nolte was sensational. 3:10 to Yuma: In even the smaller moments Russel Crowe commands your attention.

I'm ringing out 2024 with a workout, then a good long night's sleep so I can start the new year, refreshed and roaring to go.

Pete Buttigieg is truly one of the most genuine leaders in the Democratic Party and would make a great leader one day in an America. Share and ♥️ if you agree! ♥️

The least self-aware person on the planet.

President Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100. He was a symbol of what is best about America: kindness, compassion, duty and service. He will be missed, most of all by those who long for a return of that kind of country, led by a man with such strength of character.

RIP.

I'm going through hell trying to cancel my auto pay Apple TV subscription. Whatever I do I'm rewarded with another request to reverify all the basic intel with more codes sent by text or email. And I can't delete the card since I have an active account I'm not allowed to cancel. HELP!

Morning Bluesky.

Awesome that we gave up one of London’s best music shops to make way for this place where you can buy a case for your phone.

Brilliant. Thanks for sharing.

I couldn't agree more. This movie rocked!

I'm taking a break now from all the social media outrage to watch Netflix's new film Carry-On...with hopes that it is up there with Die Hard. #Carry-On #DieHard

The bots I've been tricked by have lots of posts--but they're all reposts.

Today in the pool I focused on conquering the 'Oh, shit' reaction and its relatives: This is hard...I can't do this...etc. Instead I relaxed and toyed with every not-right flutter kick. Tried again. And again...And again. Finally, I observed that if I tried putting my abs to work. banzai!

Would you Follow Back anyone who follows thousands of people...but has zero posts to their name? #FollowBack

Welker: Economists of all stripes say that ultimately, consumers pay the price of tariffs. Trump: I don't believe that. Welker: Can you guarantee American families won't pay more? Trump: I can't guarantee anything..

I keep reading that this is a place for kinder people, but gentle souls have always been among us. We just couldn’t hear them anymore. Perhaps our gathering here is proof that we missed those voices. What a wonderful thing to believe about ourselves. It can be a bold move to choose kindness.

Any swimmers out there? I've just started learning to swim at the Y with a private teacher, as part of my ongoing kneehab. I'm hooked. It really does seem to be the ultimate full body workout. As an older student with a stiff neck I invested in a good snorkel so I can focus on my kicking. #swimming

#Kingsmen is one pleasure that never fails. Perfect blend of action, humor, satire and shocking good fun. And it seems even more relevant today: e.g., the scene the billionaire villain serves Big Macs to his guest Harry Hart. And oh, that church massacre! #MatthewVaughn @taronegerton.bsky.social

World's greatest drummer? I just watched a compilation of his appearances on Johnnie Carson. Awesome! Have a look. The competition pales. #BucddyRich #GreatGuitarists

All these think pieces trying to *understand* Bluesky's success... It's not hard. Bluesky says, "you're free. Have control over what your brain sees. Don't like what someone is saying? You don't have to see them; they don't have to see you. Curate your shit." Did I miss anything out?

Holiday blues? No time for those. i'm enjoying a 'self-partnered' Thanksgiving with a Holiday dinner from Cook Unity while I continue preparing to move from a studio to a 1 BR apt in January. Cheers! #Selfpartnered #CookUnity #Moving #Thanksgiving

for a limited time only* reskeeting my skeets gives you a commemorative piece of my heart in a little jar you can wear around your neck *please reskeet i’ve made so many of these and there’s blood everywhere

Do you like horror movies light, darker...or pitch black? Offhand, I can't think of any horror film blacker than Eden Lakr. Horror with some humor, like An American Werewolf in London, is much more my speed. You? #Horrorfilms #ComicHorrorFilms

I don't understand people who leave their home in the morning to go get coffee. How do you manage to get out of bed, get dressed, and make it to the coffee shop without caffeine? 🤔😂

Early winter berry palette, for the possible dopamine it might trigger in your brain. The colour of spindle berries (bottom rightish) never seems quite real...

#AlienRomulus proved a major streaming letdown after months of waiting to see it. The few okay moments were just riffs on the original. A whole lot of hype over nothing.

Listen to a master. Claude Bouchard achieved a record following of .6M Twitter followers.

My first act of artistic defiance. Should be out by Christmas so I'll have at least one triumph to celebrate. Cheers.

Good to link up with you here, Karen.

My debut novel was published when I was aged over 50. I don't feel so old, but my birth certificate doesn't lie. I’ve talked about this before, but not here, so here's a quick thread on why it's NEVER TOO LATE.
