Still waiting on the Prime Minister’s statement condemning the huge, violent, Nazi mob that attacked police officers in London…

I am sure he would love Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus! He should check it out (as long as he can tolerate the very bad special effects 😆)

I can relate to this deep yearning for turning small service interactions into truly authentic friendships

Just using this as an opportunity to share my favourite Ahmed quotes: „Possibility comes from intimacy with what has thickened in time, the walls, the doors, how rooms are occupied, making it hard to breathe.“

South Korea will "give to the United States $350 Billion Dollars for Investments owned and controlled by the United States, and selected by myself, as President" , Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday, as he announced the deal.

Can’t believe the world ex US is not banding together to stop daylight theft.

Ich (ohne chronische Krankheit, aber mit Bedürfnis nach Me-Time und Schlaf) teile mir Tagungen immer so ein, dass ich nur die Vorträge besuche, die mich wirklich interessieren. In den Pausen suche ich mir Gesprächspartner*innen nach Sympathie, nicht strategisch. Damit geht es mir am besten.
