Just witnessed a man bearing an accordion run to the train only to have the doors close in front of him.
I’ve never been happier to see someone not get the train 🥲

Another long format video up for the world to watch! I know, I know, thumbnails are sensationalist. If I were titling this one honestly I’d just call it “Berlin Olympiastadion”

First snow! Just passed my local kebab shop owner, who was making snowballs and chucking them at a billboard with a large photo of an older lady on. He told me he was going to hit her in the teeth, and he did it first time! So magical.

Absolutely gorgeous in Potsdam today. Will look the same the next two days.
Bonus: the Christmas market isn’t open yet so the centre isn’t super busy!

Markets aren’t even open yet and I’ve found the absolute best stand in Potsdam.
On top of this tasteful display they offer tasty favourites like warm aperol and warm caipirinha.

It's still dawning on me in the dark that we released the demo for MY game yesterday. People, strangers, in the real world are playing a game I came up with (with help of course).
But it's like my thing. Crazy.

One of those HOLY SHIT moments - I was asked by @sportsillustrated.bsky.social to come and chat about the Olympiastadion ahead of the NFL game - I absolutely said yes.
It’s not just me though, there are some actual real experts in this little video. Check it out here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=uZDs...

It got demonetised because of this 100+ year old sketch showing BOOB. I assume you’re too titillated to function after seeing it.

Unfortunately this got marked by YouTube as unfit for monetisation, even after human review. Such a shame because I think it’s packed with really solid information, and you’d have to be quite foolish to find anything unpalatable in there.
Anyway, hopefully it now has some forbidden fruit appeal 😉

Take a look at the Krolloper, a beautiful entertainment venue from the 1840s that became an emblem of Weimar culture before suffering the indignity of becoming the Nazi’s ‘parliament’ and being blown to bits by the RAF

Former Stasi foreign intelligence chief Markus Wolf took to the stage and admitted the East German state was guilty of much, and that reform was needed.
The crowd weren’t exactly thrilled to hear from an establishment figure at this juncture. He was met with boos.

The Nazis extended Germany’s national bank and used it to store gold stolen from holocaust victims - including wedding rings and fillings - formed into gold bars.
The gold was then moved to a mine in Thuringia as the Soviets approached the capital in 1945. It was discovered by US forces.
