7 more days until I get to have the best sleep of 2025 - 12hrs long-haul business class.

I dunno, buddy, maybe if it didn't encourage young folks to kill themselves, or drink all the potable water, or pollute the Infoverse with fallacies, or add glue to recipes, or be that guy who lies rather than admits a mistake, or, and this is important, buddy, or IF WE WERE GIVEN A FUCKING CHOICE!

ah, the first signs that others are starting to think about if we can trust some of the numbers: on.ft.com/49YR7Bl

Hey! Northern hemisphere folks: this is my annual reminder to myself and perhaps also to you that if you have the schedule autonomy to permit it, get out for a walk or whatever during daylight hours! It's important! You can work more when it's dark but you need whatever sunlight is available!

How delightfully quaint some of these old Devon village names are, their etymologies lost in the mists of time.

my haiku summary of cory doctorow’s enshittification: everything is shit in ways you can’t imagine we must regulate

no, YOU'RE getting up at 5am and making up stupid excuses to run away from the situation with your elderly parents!

experiencing my parents getting older really is an argument for assisted suicide. my own, that is.

considering to throw about €100 and getting up at some ridiculous time like 6am to get the very first train back on Monday. alternative may just be to leave the country straight away.

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

spending a weekend in November in the place I grew up in. rather eye-opening how I turned out who I am because, my god, it's fucking bleak.

babysitting my dad for the weekend. but I'm about as good at it than I was the one time I did actually babysit a real baby (40mins, the baby vomited on the carpet, I called the parents to come home) because my natural state is staying in a room to read books.

I would need to see more pictures of rats being tickled before I can decide if that's important science or not

great, I'm getting too autistic for life

the "noah smith navigates a non US airport" part of today's timeline is my favorite

Some of the stray dogs living near Chernobyl have recently turned blue. This confused scientists for weeks, until they realized they had simply been rolling around in chemicals from a nearby set of portable toilets. 14/10 for all

There are few absolutes, but here’s one: if you encounter the phrase “high-testosterone men” in any context outside of an endocrinology journal, you’re hearing the words of a total dipshit

actually true.

damn. yesterday I thought I had only imagined the feeling of coming down with something. today I realize, nope, I really am ill. ordered four books on #linguistics to make up for it.

glad I went to the gym this evening

bring back maligning racism as the mark of a stupid person. prejudice is the mark of an idiot. if you believe that shit i bet you also don’t wipe your ass

Me when my ADHD brain allows me to hyperfocus on cool shit for 12 hours straight: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! Me when my ADHD brain makes me open and close the same 3 apps for hours without accomplishing anything: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

I don't think I have EVER been excited for any music album to drop... but I love "Berghain" by Rosalía so much, I've genuinely checked the release counter for LUX three times since Monday...

If I ever text you a picture like this it means I’m about to die trying to pet a cheetah

for a moment, I could like autumn. then I remember it will be very cold very soon and I don't like it anymore

Anyway, we need some joy, so here's the Egyptian foreign minister being given a Lego Pyramid by the Danish foreign minister.

Bekomme andauernd Spam zum Thema "Länger durchhalten im Bett", aber mein Problem ist das Aufstehen, nicht das Liegenbleiben!

it's all so fucking bleak.

Wir präsentieren: Dr. Gerontokratus Huch vereinfachte Alterskohorten-Übersicht.

I know what would make me feel better. I even WANT to do it. but I just ... don't. Instead I'm hiding, self-medicating & pretending that things get better when I hide bed.

I'm not entirely sure but I think I haven't watched anything 7 times.

Just watched The Big Short (again). I'm trying to imagine who will be in the movie about the AI crash.

wtf ist heute in Hamburg los? alle voll aggro und bekloppt.

I'm calling it - this is the best thread on Bluesky of the year

Open your Photos app Search “Train” Scroll down to what you think is exactly halfway and screenshot it Post

and one day later, the landlord tells us that they are considering selling the flat. I think I jinxed it.

that sinking feeling of re-integration into German society

why? because tackling climate change means his company makes less money creating energy- and water-intense AI slop that no one wants? hm? hm?

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have. Python foundation said no and rejected the grant. If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

can one overdose on Vitamin D? (this is me taking precautions by asking the internet. whatever I get, I deserve.)

and then I get back to Hamburg and look up to our windows and see the art we put up in the living room and I smile because I'm happy to be home.

COULDN'T EVEN FIND BRITISH MEERKATS COULD THEY. HIRED BLOODY RUSSIAN MEERKATS! I ASK YOU

When a European tries to tell me about trains

prime example for: "if you make it policy to use AI, maybe the entire exercise is bullshit"

I hate Sundays, I hate winter, I hate Berlin.

I hate it so much when someone who I truly respect and admire falls for “AI” in the sense that they attribute way more to LLMs than what they actually do (like actual thinking, understanding and creativity).
