If one ignores all the glib, beardy empire building in between, Sir Richard has done two good things: Funding Mike Oldfield to make Tubular Bells, and endorsing The Seedvofbthe Sacred Fig. An amazing film. Today's Decent Human Being award goes to him.
In grim contrast to the red carpet, Soheila Golestani faces 74 lashes for her Oscar-nominated film, The Seed of the Sacred Fig. Watch this film to understand the repression of Iran’s theocratic regime &why the #WomenLifeFreedom movement is so important: www.thetimes.com/culture/film...

Have been trying to explain this to investors for months. Even made slides and charts and stuff. Takes a novelist to distill it down to just the right words. Mad respect.
Seen a few folks astonished by my lack of support for ChatGPT and similar. Because AI, right?

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳
