Checked into an airport hotel in Frankfurt. To say it's a basic hotel would be putting it mildly. We just checked the menu - and breakfast is 28 Euros. Dinner tomorrow night is 200 Euros a head.
I think this hotel is living in its own alternate reality. We can get a croissant for a couple Euros.

@bsky.app - when will BlueSky get post scheduling? I like to batch-write my posts. No post scheduling is throwing a spanner into my automation!

Your annual reminder that Die Hard is not a Christmas movie. My main reasons:
— There are no real Christmas themes in the movie.
— It could take place anytime of year and the plot wouldn’t have been any different. A Christmas Story, for example, is centered around Ralphie’s gift.

I'd like to wish all of my family, friends, work colleagues, and random dogs I met in the street, a very Merry Christmas.
May you get all the gifts you're after, and may you have too many Christmas cookies and booze.
After all, that's the true meaning of Christmas! 🎅

If you're looking for something good to watch on #Netflix, I highly recommend "The Diplomat". Season 2 is just masterful. Brilliant acting, first-class story. And when Allison Janney turns up as the Vice-President....OH MY GOD. She deserves a Golden Globe.

Wife: "Let's go this way. It's less busy there."
Me (what I hear): "Let's go this way. There's lesbians up there."

You know you're getting old when your spouse gives you money and they tell you to go out and buy your own Christmas presents! No more Santa!

It's the time of the year when "Do They Know it's Christmas?" randomly pops up on the spotify holiday playlist and I'm shocked *once again* at how utterly tone deaf and condescending it is. I know I'm not breaking any new ground but MY GOD.

A beautiful pheasant walked around our back garden this morning, strutting around like he was lord of the manor.

Germany has approved self-driving cars for the autobahn. "Drivers will be allowed to sit hands-free and eyes-off behind the wheel, and meanwhile check their emails, watch a movie, or simply relax."
Is it just me or do I much prefer drivers to keep their eyes on the road?

I WON'T follow political profiles or discuss politics too much. With Trump 2.0 coming up, I'm trying to escape the news, not run towards it.

Well, I bit the bullet and started a Bluesky account. I'm on too many social networks already, so I hesitated before doing this. But anything that helps to support a network that's competing against Elon Musk will always be right by me.
