In decaying societies, politics become theater. The elite, who have hollowed out the democratic system to serve the corporate state, rule through image and presentation. - David Gilbert from Bookmarklet

"Samsung used to be known for cheap knockoff electronics. Now it's a red-hot global brand, thanks to sleek, bold, and beautiful products. It transformed itself by opening to the outside world--and looking deep within its Korean heart." - David Gilbert from Bookmarklet

"We have cereal for breakfast, bacon butties for lunch and microwave pies with mashed potato or chips for dinner... All that healthy food, like fruit and veg, is too expensive. We're fat because it's in our genes. Our whole family is overweight" Totally Sick. - David Gilbert from Bookmarklet

By 2012 South Korea will be delivering 1 Gbps broadband to peoples home (currently 100 Mbps). In the UK they'll be lucky to reach 50 Mbps by then! - David Gilbert

Remember watching it with you in Norwich! Andrew and I have just seen the New Year Party video. We laughed out loud!!!!

Love that time-lapse video. How long did it take your MacBook to finish that 1-minute video? BTW, I'd choose YouTube, which gives me a better integration with WordPress. ^^ - Keefe Dunn

Thanks, that was taken over about 10 hours from the window of my old house in London - http://bit.ly/2xMxyC - I just left the camera on while I was at work! - David Gilbert

A short-distance trip would be great. What's your plan? - Keefe Dunn

Yeah, thinking of a 2-3 day trip but no idea yet! Any recommendations close to SZ? - David Gilbert

Being new here, I know SZ no better than you... I was trying to copy your plan in the first place. ;-p And I'd recommend Yunnan if you've enough time. - Keefe Dunn

Now if you would allow me to transfer my Yuan back to the UK that would be nice... - David Gilbert from Bookmarklet

I'm wondering if it works well with Disqus. Keep watching. - Keefe Dunn

I tried Intense Debate with 2.7 but there seems to be something wrong with the comment syncing and integration - I guess they will release and update soon, not sure about Disqus. - David Gilbert

Thanks for the heads up. Heard that 2.7 has changed a lot in the comment system, and I'm gonna give it a try. - Keefe Dunn

"Over 130 Chairman Mao impersonators from across the country have come to the former leader's hometown of Xiangtan, Hunan Province, to audition for a part in a tourist drama." - David Gilbert from Bookmarklet

Couldn't agree more but kind of misses the point - social media may be getting messy for the select few who use it, but complete irrelevant for the other 99.999% of the world. - David Gilbert
