Pretty much what Iʼve done my whole life. Canʼt think why one would do it any other way.

Given his reach, is this a crime over there, to incite murder?

He’s certainly heading that way—I hope folks finally stop giving him and OnlyKlans air time.

Started the day reading that James Earl Jones has left us. What a legend. Not just the voice of Darth and Mufasa, but the King of Zamunda! #JamesEarlJones #RIP

I’ve watched the rise and rise of the Chinese car industry (literally from cars with hand-beaten panels to world-beating EVs) and no wonder they are making such huge progress on battery capacity and cost.

One huge plus to #Mastodon: asked a question about hydrogen fuel cells yesterday and got heaps of replies, none of which were ’splainy and all were really courteous and considerate.

Why so much hate toward hydrogen fuel cells (in the comments to the link)? Can’t we do this and battery EVs? Unless there’s some terrible thing I don’t know about, I don’t have an issue with cars that use the most abundant element in the universe and emit water vapour.

Hospo insolvencies up 85 per cent. Iʼm sorry, but again, this was something I was trying to mitigate over a decade ago by wanting to diversify the economy in my campaigns. This is precisely the future that was so easily foreseeable in 2010 and 2013, except by The Dominion Post, legacy political parties and their candidates, and certain members of the moneyed Wellington establishment. Weak as water.

When the campaign was live, I pointed out that we spent less as a percentage of GDP on the environment than France and Germany, while today, if you look at the pollution measures, London is cleaner than Wellington or Christchurch.

Twenty years ago, with The Lord of the Rings, 42 Below, and the 100% Pure campaign, it was cool to note that you or your business was from Aotearoa New Zealand. Is it still the case today? During the summer, the people I encountered abroad seemed to know that Ardern was recently our PM, and the TV show Border Patrol.

Here it is, my latest book, and my first one in Swedish! Lilla boken om Panos: historien om den ikoniska badmodedesignern is now out in Sweden, and looks at the swimwear designs of Panos Papadopoulos from the 1980s through to 2020. More at https://lucire.com/insider/20240831/the-latest-little-book-is-out-showcasing-panos-papadopouloss-swimwear/ published by Tukan förlag, and available now through Adlibris, Bokus, and other retailers in Sweden and Finland.

You would have to be really stupid to link to my blog (which suggests you have read what I have said there) and then write #disinformation despite the warning in bold type on the top of my page. But, there you go, there are people who are this stupid.

A newspaper clipping that Dad saved. In 1976, white people were ‘migrants’, too. (As a new immigrant, it showed that Dad was scanning the newspapers for things that might be relevant for us—so much for ‘migrants’ not having good English.)

To think, back in 2008 the person Joe Biden had to debate was Sarah Palin. Gave Tina Fey a ton of material.

So true. Not just a depression, but war (my parents were both born during WWII). Got taught to keep stuff and donʼt buy if you can avoid it. My father fixed electrical and electronic equipment for a living, and one of our TVs was a Frankensteinʼs monster made up of about three TVs.
As to today, I never trusted “the cloud”. Kept my own media whenever I could.

Sure was! Been interesting here. My last visit was 2010. When you have such big gaps between visits, and each visit is a small snapshot of life, you notice the changes in society.

This is exactly what I cannot get my head around. I see the other names, like [@alshafei](https://mastodon.social/@alshafei)’s, and I feel assured. They have great credentials. I see Stone’s and I don’t. It’s like inviting Mel Gibson on to the board of a synagogue.
