iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

And yet, so many people are ignoring, or ignorant of, the fact that many of the current events are eerily similar to those of the 1920’s and 1930’s…

The resurrection of crony capitalism here in the USA…

It isn’t hyperbole to describe the current situation in the USA as fascism…

🧪⚛️ This is an important point that may well get lost on the public. Having AI crank out unreviewed, unvalidated preprints by the hundreds does *not* mean that we can decide that physics and math are now solved and thus need to support.

Are you daring to question the Feuhrer and his minions? 😱

Same old, same old seems to be the motto for present times. Instead of “Groundhog Day”, we are stuck in “1984”

I also grew up, and currently live in, Wisconsin USA. I’m always happy to read about our university faculty (and others) scoring scientific accolades. Warfarin anyone?

Sadly, many individuals don’t want to think critically. They’d rather be spoon fed by pundits, politicians, and random conspiracy theorists. Humans have been shown to double down on their beliefs when presented with evidence that refutes them

It’s a slippery slope. There are already pseudo poll taxes in places in the form of voter ID requirements. What’s next? Income requirements? Level of education requirements? Unfortunately, the list of potential voter suppression tools is long…

Fascinating, and dovetails with wondering how a Carrington level event today would affect our societies.

Dave M 60 @davem60.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Not to sound conspiratorial, but I’m wondering if some of this is intended to contribute to the gradual dumbing down of the US populace…

Why am I not the least bit surprised?

I would suggest that the name Dulcinea would be an appropriate name for the structure…

Not to mention short sighted, ignorant, and just plain stupid…

Dave M 60 @davem60.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Perhaps this is trite, but it reminds me of the old joke that one who is bilingual speaks two languages, and one who is monolingual is from the USA…

And is making the cars themselves more expensive because of some misguided obsession with tariffs…

Important historical summits have required lots of advance diplomacy, real issues to hash out, & much more... "Expectations were low entering President Trump’s meetings with China’s leader, Xi Jinping....Yet the summit’s stark lack of substance surprised even the closest China watchers."🗃️

43 years ago, on the 26th of September 1983, the Soviet nuclear early warning system reported a missile launch from the United States. Russian lieutenant colonel Stanislav Petrov judged the warning to be a false alarm and disobeyed military protocol, preventing a retaliatory attack. #otd 🗃️

The rest of the world is watching USA automakers recede in their rear view mirrors. We snooze, we lose

I’ve always preferred the Formula Firebird to the Trans Am because it’s less “extra”

I don’t argue with the Topolino’s niche status, but I would say that urban drivers who don’t realize that the Fiat COULD fit their needs have limited perspective, especially when most people own or have access to more than one vehicle.

Dave M 60 @davem60.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I want one! Some may disparage the Topolino, but it would easily fit our needs for around town transportation…

My question is about film processing. Are there any options besides developing at home? I’ve seen buzz about film, but nothing on processing

Dave M 60 @davem60.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

I’m not trying to be snarky, but I’m genuinely interested in what advantage there is to having an Audi Q3 over a VW Tiguan? Unless I’m mistaken, they’re essentially the same car, except the Audi has a few more bells and whistles

Some of my older cars had real flames, but weren’t fast at all

I’m partial to (older) white Beeners because the first one I fell in love with was a white mid-70’s 2002

Dave M 60 @davem60.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

I’ve thought the very same thing. Carbon buildup may be an issue as well

Though it’s still fun to get there in a hurry…

I’ve wanted to build a Catterham 7 kit for awhile now, but prices (to me) are still eye watering. I remember Patrick McGoohan driving a Lotus 7 in the opening credits for The Prisoner TV show

If an automaker offers a subscription service (BMW) or no gauges at all (Thx, Hyundai), they won’t receive my business. If that means I drive older, used cars for the rest of my days, so be it

Sadly, not in the USA because we have a bunch of pillocks in our so called government…

Dave M 60 @davem60.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Not a fan of the big 2.5. The automaker that I thought had their game on was Honda. They first few generations of the Civic and Accord were untouchable. Now Honda has big challenges to overcome and I’m not sure that theywill survive

000

Dave M 60 @davem60.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Yes, and I’m pretty sure I know what they’re compensating for. Plus $500 is cheap compared to the eye-watering payments for a whole host of these rolling barns

Dave M 60 @davem60.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

What is never mentioned is that the tariffs are raising costs for consumers here in the USA. If we want to manufacture things here, they’re going to cost more, otherwise there wouldn’t be a need for tariffs…

Definitely my favorite generation of Seville. Imo, the design really stood out
