If I needed to feel a little Rock’n’Roll vibe today, I just realized I probably have the same exact shirt Lemmy was wearing in this meme. It’s been my go-to vintage cowboy shirt for 15+ years. Now I’m gonna make some lunch that my doctor would disapprove of. #Rock’n’Roll baby!

Why are this generation’s Nazis too dumb to make a swastika correctly? Oh yeah, they’re Nazis.
Please enjoy the sticker I placed there with my new label maker my wife got me. That says: Nazi loser.
The message: make fun of and belittle those jabronis at every opportunity and there will be plenty.

An exciting day for me: I’m holding a new novel in my hands for the first time in 15 years. This is my sixth overall. Hope to have it available for purchase early next year because it needs one more run through. Check out the first page!

![So here I am, in [REDACTED). The Interpol guy told me it should be safe here, for now but I can't go back even if I wanted to. Sorry, I am too lazy to write nicely. My head hurts, I need to change my bandage soon, but Agent [REDACTED] told me I need to get this all down on paper before I leave just in case. In case of what? He didn't say
but here goes...
It seems crazy to start this like this, but this is all about some stupid business
software. I was on a team of international developers. We were all foreigners in Germany except for Eve. Not to bore you with details but the CEO and owner, Reinhard (REDACTED], had started the [REDACTED] company over twenty years ago, which meant that it was his baby. But that baby started earning real money with our efforts.
Eve, Zeynep, Pavel, Milo, Geanie and me. Those guys were fucking superstars. But that is all over now for me, and fuck Reinhard, too. I had such a sweet little life there. As an (REDACTED] citizen, I had learned pretty quickly when I moved to Europe that we don't actually have a work life balance where I am from. Inside tip to people in their twenties and thirties who are reading this: Work-life balance > $.
Anyway, having that unspoken trust that constant success breeds made it easier for
us to flourish. The Germans call it 'psychologische Sicherheit', psychological safety.
Nearly a decade of wins had given us loads of it and that's probably how we got lulled into what happened. The one thing that had maybe been holding me back was the fact I didn't have a German passport. Not having the passport meant I couldn't just up and start a new life in another country like EU citizens can. So not having that passport had been a golden cage. Then I wake up here after getting attacked in Germany and this Interpol agent is sitting in my room like some creep. We go get a coffee and he just straight up gave me a German passport, even with my nickname printed in it. It is in my pocket right now. I was not in that much of a r…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:djjftgdwcjwjq36shz2dkt22/bafkreihtzkihijbe3dglccmt32kunuffpamdeqqqidzevkq266pgmxgqjq@jpeg)

No matter where I am, I try to spread the same moral principles like Johnny Antifaseed. There are enough Germans roaming around Lisbon right now that this was a good place for my sticker. #fckafd #sogarimausland

Lisbon, I was not familiar with your fixed menu specials for regular folk. An old lady cafe with the 7€ special of cold drink, veggie soup, chicken sandwich and an espresso.
My first day unemployed in 2.5 years so trying to make the most of it.

I got to see a band from my parents’ hometown last night, an all-girl punk band that was full of positivity about everything and anger at the right things. #badcopbadcop #fatwreckchords #oldpunksneverdie

I’ll never be as bad ass as my pops is, check out his 1929 #Ford Model A. He started building that over 40 years ago & 25 years ago was his everyday car if my mom wasn’t riding. You can also see the 1957 in the driveway and hiding in the garage, his last big car project. #hotrod #musclecar

Now the #dodgers are continuing to celebrate at my wife’s football match in the rain. It’s a good day to be a Dodger fan, friends! 5000+ miles from home and sports can take you right back.

Ps. 9 years ago tonight me and @sammy-lfc.bsky.social met for the first time at the local Irish pub, both 3 sheets to the wind. Shit, back then I didn’t know what “alreet pet” meant because I didn’t know any Geordies. Now I know too many haha

Can we also take a moment and see the drummer’s bass drum said Free Mumia?
Also, the covers they played that night? By Willie Dixon (who sued zeppelin), Otis Redding, Allman Bros, the Byrds, Jack Dupree and the fucking Rolling Stones. THAT is a pedigree. #music
