I float through rather than being a hanger on I like to think. As Rielke said, lass es geschehen amirite.

People don’t like what they don’t understand Gavin. KO lived in Sweden for years so knows which words to switch out.

After searching for something else I found myself rereading an old review I’d written of Knausgård and the expectations around translated fiction. If I remember correctly his publicist didn’t want me to interview him in Norwegian in case it wnet off piste. www.theskinny.co.uk/books/featur...

In Defence of Knausgaard's Seasons Quartet: The Skinny

Dominic Hinde looks at Winter, the second title in Karl Ove Knausgaard's Seasons series, and the negative critical response to the quartet of books.

My greatest regret in life is that I didnt just become a Södermalm hipster instead of falling for the siren calls of academic study.

Anyway there’s some pictures of me enjoying bookshops in Fort William, Ullapool and Lochgilphead. If you’re going to buy Drifting North or any book this month then make sure you do so from your local independent.

Dominic Hinde @dominicmhinde.bsky.social · 4d

It’s Bookshop Day. Bookshops - especially indies - are important as they not only sell books but often function as hubs for other cultural events as public culture provision is slashed. Supporting a bookshop isn’t just about supporting authors, it’s a direct vote for culture in your community.

Happy #BookshopDay! I popped down to @bookhaus.bsky.social where I’ll be discussing Britain’s energy past & future with @dominicmhinde.bsky.social on 29 Oct (tix available!) - just 1 of loads of talks they do. My book is out Tuesday @manchesterup.bsky.social - ask your local bookshop to order it ☺️

Die deutsche Blick auf Grossbritannien ist von jeher durch Mythen, Kitsch und Sentimentalitäten verstellt. Auch deshalb weil die Engländer sich gerne selbst so sehen.
Die Realität sieht ein wenig anders aus.
Ein sehr kluges Stück von Eva Ladipo. @faznet.bsky.social

Großbritanniens Demokratie: Auch in England gewinnen die Extremen an Zulauf

Die britische Demokratie ist uralt. Sie gilt als sagenhaft stabil und immun gegen irrationale Emotionen. Damit ist es nun vorbei.

This story was inspired by a conversation with a fossil fuel exec in Paris a few days after the big outage in Spain. He blamed too much renewable energy as the cause.

Was that really it? Turns out: No.

@npr.org takes you through a new report on what happened + impacts of renewable misinformation.

After Spain's blackout, critics blamed renewable energy. It's part of a bigger attack

When millions lost power in Spain and Portugal this spring, some were quick to blame too much solar and wind power. That wasn't the cause, but the misinformation had an impact.

If I quit my job in the university and went to work on a rig in Australia tomorrow I would double my money overnight. As a general rule, the more questionable the politics of the country the rig is in, the lower the tax for people prepared to fly in and work.

The thing about writing a book that focuses to a large extent on life in offshore oil rigs is that you start to get ads for jobs on rigs around the world. Some of them are wild, including the boast that you never need see your wife and can play console games and pay next to no tax.
