I was invited to present on Sherlock Holmes again – this time on the illustrations which were included in the short stories’ original publication in "The Strand". As a literary researcher it was a welcome and insightful novelty to examine visual artefacts. Looking forward to future VPFA events! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Inspiring week here at the #DraCorSummit 2025 at Freie Universität Berlin. Great opportunity to learn about corpus building and analysis – not "just" for dramas but also, like in my case, for prose texts 💡

Dass es am Ende Trump ist, der die globale Verkehrswende durch Zölle einläutet, who would have guessed!

Habe es ins Fernsehen geschafft 😄

Incredible “They Live” posters of Trump and Elon

Don't get it twisted: Mit Pistorius wären es über 20% bei der SPD geworden.

Good thing I went away from Amazon Kindle long ago. www.heise.de/en/news/Kind...

Without Mel Brooks hiring Lynch to make THE ELEPHANT MAN — on the strength of ERASERHEAD alone — he is very likely just a guy who made a weird film at AFI. That whole filmography you love doesn’t happen. We all need sponsors and mentors and patrons. We need people who believe in us.

What an incredible loss! David Lynch changed the way I look at movies and narratives in general. Truly one of the greats.

Do it when you’re still figuring it out. Do it even when doubt creeps in. Do it without the whole plan. Do it imperfectly. Do it afraid. Do it now. Just do it. That’s how you move forward.
