Here's a practical question related to the life of an author:

Do you keep a mechanical typewriter as a backup in case Bradford OH falls victim to a blackout?

Of course you could also do it Alexandre Dumas style, hope that Athena has a well legible handwriting, and dictate your newest novel.

It was already all done on paper back in the nineties or whenever your career as a writer started?

Wieder etwas, was fast vollkommen am mit vorbeigegangen wäre.

Over on his platform he managed to unite Europe.

Against him.

(And in most cases the things you actually want aren't anywhere close as the things you buy to impress others. Unless the things you want are Eames chairs.)

Thank for sharing. Reminds me of that financial warning:

We buy things we don't need,
with money we don't have,
to impress people we don't like.

If you buy things you actually want with money you have, many financial problems wouldn't get as bad.

I would say: There's nothing inherently wrong with overseas travel as long as you can afford it and you're doing it for yourself and not to impress others.

Wenn man sich kurz einmal an die Geschichte erinnert wie Elon Musk Twitter gekauft hat, hat der sich selbst reingelegt und quasi selbst dazu gezwungen den Laden kaufen zu müssen.

Eigentlich hätte die Geschichte des Twittererwerbs jeden Nimbus verbrennen müssen, dass Elon Musk ein Genie sei.

It's also true that there's no amount of money per stream that platforms could pay, that would cover the bills of musicians.

If you want to really support them you'll have to buy their albums or merchandise or go to their concerts.

Die katholische Kirche möchte also das Privatleben ihrer Mitglieder reglementieren.

(Last year I finally got myself over to go there because @scalzi.com and @aptshadow.bsky.social were there as well.)

Jetzt weiß ich, was passiert, wenn man sich von SciFi Festival #Utopiales, wo man letztes Jahr war, die diesjährige Anthologie bestellt: Widmungen passieren. 😃

"Alle Lebensstile sind gleichwertig. Ausser deiner. Du bist minderwertig." Höre ich da raus.

Häufig scheint dabei das Gegenüber, das vorher betont hat wie wichtig es sei alle Lebensstile anzuerkennen, komplett unfähig zu verstehen, dass ich lieber abends Netflix schaue, als mit denen bspw. ins Uncut Cinema nach Bern zu gehen.

Ich finde nichts menschlich und freundlich an Menschen, die versuchen mich zu nudgen, triezen und drängen nach Hilfen für die an deren Feiern und Kultur teilzunehmen.

Und genau diese antidankbaren (Bestrafungen für Hilfen) Momente waren meine ständigen Erfahrungen mit der woken queeren Community.

What a shame that it can't be five words. (arguably six words)

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones!

May your turkey be delicious!

(If you and your loved ones like turkey.)

So in etwa. Allerdings verlangt die Schweiz bei dem Betrag keine Umsatzsteuer nach.

Auf diesem Weg sind die Einkäufe mehrwertsteuerfrei.

Allerdings muss man die Waren tatsächlich ausführen und darf sie nicht schon in Deutschland essen.
