Haven't tweeted on this profile for a long time. Looking to see if there are any art people still on here, or if they've fled.

The older I get, the more I seem to be reading and thinking about Andy Warhol's work, especially since starting my video podcast in early 2022.

My musical zoomer son, after seeing the new Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown starring Timothée Chalamet, is currently listening to Dylan's "Masters of War" etc. Not showing it but I'm jumping for joy inside.

I woke up too early and started writing a bloggy-journal kinda thing. Here's the link if you're interested, if there's any art people left on here after Elon.

Just signed up for the Google Gemini AI, 2 month free trial. Will be interested to see how it performs…

@Andrew_Baird It's been so long, I'd given up on it.

Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3.
Has X finally unsuspended this account like their Support email says? Still no specific explanation as to why it was suspended though.

Getting hit with persistent heavy rain in Auckland today. Worst is yet to come, according to the forecast.

[WeatherWatch.co.nz @WeatherWatchNZ]

Why the intense rain in northern NZ? It's about #convergence - like lanes merging on a motorway causing congestion.

A Nor'East airflow (due to high pressure to our east), merging with a Nor'West airflow (from a low over the Tasman) & they converge over #Northland & #Auckland.

Here we go yet again. Kids are at school. Hope it doesn’t get worse before all kids are home safe.

[Auckland Emergency Management (AEM) @AucklandCDEM]

We have issued an emergency mobile alert that says:
Heavy rain and thunderstorms are affecting the Auckland region and expected to continue into the evening, potentially through to midnight tonight.
If your life or property is at risk, phone 111 immediately.

@AndrewPaulWood To hate-watch the sycophantic behaviour.

@publicaddress He'll be the best sycophantic representatiive for that event.

Having trialled Twitter Blue with one of my other accounts, these are my thoughts. You?

[Tweet @tweet]

I’m considering ditching Twitter Blue for the following reasons. So far it seems of really limited benefit for the price, compared to non-Blue; how about you?
Editing Tweets: this is good and useful, but I did without it for 16 years and got used to it.
Priority tweets and replies: I don’t see any evidence of this for my tweets, and tweet views haven’t increased since adding Blue.
Longer Tweets: I don’t need that (except this one, and I could just make it a thread).
Blue Check Mark: I don’t really care; again I did without it for years, and now it only shows that you pay.
Upload longer videos: From a couple of trials, people on Twitter seem to prefer really short vids.
1080p vids: when I went to upload one, Twitter recommended not to use this, as it’s not necessarily, and it causes larger file sizes - not great for Twitter timeline scrolling really.
NFT profile pics: who cares?
Maybe I’d keep it if I thought I could build a paid subscriber base, but there’s not enough interaction to do that; that’s likely my fault for not putting enough time in.
Have I missed anything?

@cameronreilly Sad to hear. He seemed a good man.

@joniel @icreatelife Just about all human activity has a climate cost. Perhaps it will lesson when super-AIs help us to solve the problem.
