The fact that the President of the United States posts a fake video of a kneeling Barack Obama being handcuffed and we’re supposed to pretend it’s perfectly normal, everyday stuff shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

As I navigate my way forward in the TV & film industry, figuring the best way to proceed, it would be amazing if you lovely people pre-ordered our Scottish fantasy comic book “Origins of the Laoich - Devil’s Fool” at ko-fi.com/originsofthe... for just £5! 26 pages of swords, sorcery & action!

Labour saying that English water works better than Scottish water cus it's privitised is a lie so big Trump could have said it.
Labour voters are the new MAGA.
They are treating you like f'kin morons.

Star Trek Strange New Worlds is my new comfort show. It’s just everything to me. So glad it’s back on. Is anyone else watching it? Also Shrinking on Apple is phenomenal television. Only a few episodes in but the entire cast nails it.

Late to the party but how good is Shrinking?

If any kind soul would like to “buy me a coffee” at ko-fi.com/fraserwrites you can also watch some of my projects that aren’t readily available to the public & I can maybe pay a bill or two during these tight months in TV and film.

Thank you 💚

As per tradition, I watched Wimbledon AFTER the actual Wimbledon finale. It’s one of my all time favourite films. It’s so feel good.

Starting July 25, Bluesky will require users in the UK to scan their face, upload an ID or verify their identity with a bankcard.

I realize that platforms feel they have no choice but to comply with the government surveillance schemes, but shocking nonetheless.

Bluesky is rolling out age verification in the UK
