Margaret Mills is 95 and her sweatshirt reads “LADIES SEWING CIRCLE AND TERRORIST SOCIETY”

Margaret reads an excerpt from her book at the Waiheke Library. She is explaining how her husband disapproved of her voting, in the 1950s. That was never going to work.

The cover of Anecdotage: the first 95 years, by Margaret Mills. It features a studio shot of a determined-looking young woman in specs, in 1950s hairstyle and clothing.

Margaret Mills’ book launch. This sweatshirt is one of her most treasured possessions

The Periodic Table Symbol for lead is 'Pb,' which comes from the Latin 'plumbum,' meaning "lead."

Early pipes were made of lead, so people who worked with pipes became 'plumbers.'

We need to make it illegal for AI models to offer advertising. And, we need to really examine referral fees as well.

The last thing we need is to have algorithms designed to maximize revenue driving LLM output and interactions.

We need to have learned our lessons from algos in social media

I used to love reading dystopian fiction in high school.

Reaaaaally not enjoying living through dystopian reality as an adult.
