@EVanDyk @SumanSingh92_ @NYinLA2121 @Budzmutti Mining followers seems likely here. Yesterday on FB I saw a lot of bot activity in comments in hurricane posts trying to connect frustration with relief needs to anger over US support for Ukraine. 🤔

[Richard Shepard @SaltyShep]

33 yrs ago (when I was 25) I made my 1st film THE LINGUINI INCIDENT (w/ David Bowie, Rosanna Arquette, Eszter Balint, Buck Henry & Marlee Matlin no less). It was a hot mess, recut & dumped. I got the rights back, did a 4k director's cut & ystday signed a bluray deal! Out in '24!
