Franca Lehfeldt ist vom Stromausfall in Berlin betroffen und beschwert sich warum die Infrastruktur so einfach zugänglich ist...
Vielleicht liegt es auch mit daran, dass Menschen wie Christian Lindner und sie selbst zu wenig Steuern zahlen??

Over Christmas I had a conversation with my sister that has me deeply troubled...
not to give too many details but I stated something and she didn't believe me, so she asked her AI to verify.
I was really taken aback and asked her if she was serious but she has been using it for this for months now!

Frosty foggy day!! Still beautiful and walking after what feels like a week of just eating and talking was very nice!!

Just had a look at the #EAA sessions for Athens next year and there are some really juicy ones...

Now I only have to finish my inner debate whether or not I stil want to participate after last year's troubles... 🤔

Guess I'll have some thinking to do over Christmas... 🎄✨️

After 3.5 years it is now time to say goodbye to @clusterroots.bsky.social!! As of the new year I officially won't be a part of the Cluster of Excellence any longer but what a fantastic time have I had (and not just because of the merchandise) 😉
Hope to see you again soon!!

Thanks to the @tag2025york.bsky.social team ans session organisers at the Power session this afternoon for making it possible for me to deliver my talk despite not reaching York no thanks to the Deutsche Bahn (though the staff were fantastic!)

Sitting in an ICE in Cologne that will be delayed an hour - making me miss my connecting train in Brussels...I realise that this is not their fault but travelling by train just means that you'll never reach your destination as planned...at least in Germany!
"So ernst die Lage bei der Bahn ist: Sie wäre noch viel ernster, würden nicht jeden Tag Tausende Mitarbeiter ihr Bestes geben. Mehr arbeiten als vorgesehen. Ständig improvisieren. Auf Pausen verzichten."

Falls Merz mal wieder meint, die Leute arbeiten zu wenig. Sie halten den Laden am laufen ♥️
Deutsche-Bahn-Mitarbeiter: „Manchmal schäme ich mich für den Zustand der Züge, die ich fahre"
Die Lage der Deutschen Bahn ist ernst. Und sie wäre noch ernster, würden die Mitarbeiter nicht alles geben. Doch viele können nicht mehr.

I forgot that in 2019 I started a whole website about Ludovic Mann, #TheManntheMyth. I had plans to do a podcast & update this regularly. If this gets to 100 followers (from current total of 23!) I’ll revive it and start adding content! #LudovicMann

Ooh, our podcast chat about Neolithic society in Ireland is out! Perfect for fireside listen as we approach winter solstice.
New episode of Amplify Archaeology Podcast!

In this episode I chatted with Dr Jessica Smith, Dr Neil Carlin, and @suegreaney.bsky.social about the important recent paper that discusses Neolithic society, kinship, death, ancient DNA, and how we understand and interpret the story of the past.

Currently it's the German Christmas poem "Die Weihnachtsmaus" (The Crhistmas Mouse) by James Krüss

Die Weihnachtsmaus ist sonderbar
sogar für die Gelehrten
Denn einmal nur im ganzen Jahr
entdeckt man ihre Fährten...
