Last night, we watched Hail Mary in Friedrichshain, and we were surprised and moved by the inclusion of Violeta Parra’s “Gracias a la vida” (Mercedes Sosa’s version) in the film's soundtrack. Thank you to whoever made that decision!

Two Central European powers are now planning to develop a nuclear arsenal together. Two countries that have been besieged by internal fascism for years. And in one of these countries, the local fascist party could join the government coalition in the foreseeable future. The stupidest move ever!

When I was a child, I wanted to become an astronomer. Even now, whenever I look up at the night sky, it brings back memories of those days. This is a photo of Jupiter taken with DSLR-A700 + Kenko 500mm mirror lens. Maybe you can see Jupiter's bands. Well... this blur is pretty much like my life :)
