If you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas

America has an affect on everyone of us. If America wobbles we are all going to feel it. And the leadership of America is very concerning to say the least.

Values are what defines us. We are the choices we make. This is what our destiny is about. If we make bad choices then we enter into darkness. And in my view the warning signs are right in front of us, but, many of choose to ignore them. Why? Because Trump is doing some good. I personally don’t believe he is doing anything good because he has a good heart. He does what he does because of two things: money and his enormous ego.

If Trump continues on his path, and goes about his madness unchecked, then we should be prepared for a lot more darkness, because this man is one seriously nasty piece of work.

We are selling our souls by turning a blind eye, or, better put, by accepting his obvious flaws. Trump is untrustworthy – it is that simple.

US democracy works because every 4 years there is a peaceful transfer of power. Do you think Trump will go quietly into the night?

If there are any doubts about this from Americans (which is the key issue) then how can this man be leading the world’s most powerful nation?

Trump is all about his ego and money. Those are his drivers. Anything he does to help people is not by design, but rather, because it feeds these two drivers. The man has no values that any of us can relate to, but yes, he is good to Israel. So for those who love Israel they can live with his flaws. But, it will come bite us all in the ass. We should all know better. This man is not a leader that is going to leave a legacy that anyone wants to remember.

The other big concern is that what is going on in America is not only becoming normalized but before we know it (because Trump seems to have everyone under his spell) history will be rewritten and no one will even question this alternative insane narrative.

One day I will have to explain to the Bunster that the world went through a very dark period where everyone was so glued to Tik Tok etc. that no one tried to stop what was unfolding right before our eyes. A new norm that would make anyone run a mile. And yet, we don’t run a mile. We carry on our days hoping all will be ok.

On another note, Kyiv got hit so bad again last night. Most of the city is without water and electricity. And the genius Trump is just blah blah blah.

Dragon Hunter

A friend of mine, Don, made this video. Do yourself a favour and have a look – it is 16 minutes. Watch it on a laptop with earphones. You may be entertained or you may not be. But you will be amazed. This video was created with AI. Everything you will see and hear was generated. One guy created this using AI technology, talent and inspiration.

If you do have 16 mins and watch it please email me and share your thoughts. Don wrote a high concept film script which I read and enjoyed. This video is an exciting experiment : turning a script into a film using AI. The story is a wild, fun, feel good adventure, set in the future. It seems to fit well into the realm of AI film making.

In a week where there has been so much media attention to Tilly Norwood it feels like an apt time to share the Dragon Hunter here.

Cleaned me out !

The Bunster is 5 today. He is our everything. This little man has kept Marta and I sane during these difficult times. We love him to bits.

He has had quite a ride this guy. He has lived in 4 countries and he has seen a lot. Not that he will remember. One day we will tell him some colourful stories.

This weekend we went to Hamleys and it was an adventure. The bag of goodies is bigger than the Bun. He is a very lucky Bunster man.

Kyiv of Mine: a Cinematic Love Letter to a City Under Siege

“The documentary shines in its refusal to reduce Ukrainians to victims. Instead, it highlights their humanity, revealing a city where laughter and creativity persist even under fire. Western viewers will find themselves confronted not just with images of war, but with a deeper, richer understanding of Ukraine as a modern, soulful nation.
