A pastelly morning in my Sunday/Monday home
Parked for the night, asked this uncle if he minds.
Shortly after he asks if I’m hungry. Then the competition begins: we are offering each other various foods, tea, coffee, yoghurt. Like ping pong going back and forth. Uncle drops a bag of pide and a can of tuna in my lap ❤️🇹🇷

"Heil Donald" als offizieller "amerikanischer Gruß" dauert wahrscheinlich auch nicht mehr lange.
Die checks and balances versagen. Wie erwartet.
Die US-Demokratie erweist sich als schwächer als es viele angenommen haben. Die USA werden zum Führerstaat.

Drifting in and out of social media, mostly drifting out. Yea, sometimes on X
Moving house IRL, so life’s been a bit upside down lately. Last week spent in the caravan. With returned winter not exactly a Hawaii trip 🥶
But house pics/ news ca 3-4 weeks away

Mild fever last night, enough for vivid dreams. I argued with Musk all night why it’s nice to be nice 🥴🥴🥴🥴

I’m waiting for his next speech where he pulls down his trousers. Australia is ready
The entire nation of Australia gets it. Media in that country are having to blur what Elon Musk did twice in public today because of laws there regarding the Nazi salute.

Media organisations that condemned a watermelon as anti-semitic tentatively label Musk Nazi salute "odd", "questionable”

I wrote this essay in October 2023 on the rise of fascism in Germany. www.zeit.de/kultur/2023-... Two nights ago I walked past two new and huge far-right election adverts, metres from where I had witnessed a potentially fatal attack. Two years ago it would have been unthinkable to see them there.
Racism in Germany: The Hatred Is Accelerating
Musa Okwonga moved to Berlin in 2014, one year after the foundation of Germany's far-right AfD party. Ever since, he's seen the country heading in a dangerous direction.

So many tweets about the other awkwardasfuck billionaire who runs the US now. I won’t speculate if it that salute was deliberate. We can assume he has some sort of gross motor control. However a few weeks after meeting with far right German AfD this is not a good look

I get myself so lost with these details of my grandfather's letters and photos. Fighter pilot bloody-mindedness — hard core genealogy 🤣
Finally I have answers, took some wild guessing, emailing, very helpful Slovenians, and Google map.
