The „radical left fake news media“ of the world seem to be on the same page. The fact that millions and millions of people voted for such an asshole just shows that he did more damage to the country, democracy and the whole world than anybody could have imagined. It’s unbelievable. Sad for the other half of the country but - at least up until now - this is ONE country, lead by an erratic dictator. The world has to wake up. Game over.
This changes everything.
What does it say about a country if such a terrible human being can become president. Again. There’s something deeply, deeply wrong. This should not be possible. A couple of years ago everyone was dreaming about moving and working in the US. I don’t know anyone like that anymore. Everyone‘s somewhere between being frightened and laughing about it. Even if it still turns out good, which I can’t imagine now, America is lost. The world has to move on without it and I hope our politicians finally start to realize that.
Gotta go to sleep, but the amount of red I see on this map on CNN at the moment already feels like a nightmare. I hope I will wake up to a different world in a couple of hours.
Is there some wisdom about Momento? I had the idea of a „single user social network“ a while back. Just a dedicated place where I can dump stuff that’s not supposed to be public. Momento comes close to this idea, data stored locally (and exportable) and it can pull feeds in, like my Micro.blog posts. The app seems pretty established but I never heard about it before. It’s not exactly a Day One replacement for me but I’m looking for something „private“ since our Kids and Family stuff is in Day One. So far so good… I think I‘ll keep trying it for s couple more days.
Dear America, please do the right thing today. Thank you. Kind regards, The Rest of the World.

Happy writing to everyone participating in this years NaNoWriMo! I’m skipping again because there’s just not enough time, but one day I will finish it! 💪
Bummed by Sean Connery’s death. I guess it’s an age where people are allowed to leave. But there aren’t many of his kind these days. I need to watch some of his movies now, but I can’t decide. Which are your favorites?
Thanks iOS! I really need to see this dialog everytime I unlock you. What would be even better is if there would actually be an update available.
Now this is an example of when AI can actually do something good! It’s breathtaking what machine learning can do if applied in a good way. Artificial intelligence model detects asymptomatic Covid-19 infections through cellphone-recorded coughs
Perfect mood for today. 🎸🎶
The prospect of another shutdown and the decision about whether to have my kid go to Kindergarten or not really wears on me. It’s a risk, but it would be cruel to her to make her also stay at home again. I barely saw friends since March, no colleagues besides video calls. I don’t want/need to go to the office, yet I start hating to be stuck in here every day. I’m so sick of all of this.
Starting to hear about Covid infections of friends. My hometown is about to get locked down again. Things are getting real… time to hide again. This time it will be much, much harder though.
It’s really relaxing to not be bombarded with the US/Trump shitshow all the time for the last couple of days. With rapidly increasing Corona infection rates there are more important things to worry about. This will end tomorrow when the Comedy Club holds a meeting again, I guess.
I switched over to Apple Music again to get some free months. And for some reason I like it more than Spotify now. It’s slow and it infuriates me in certain areas, so there should be no reason for me to stay, but somehow I do 🤷🏻♂️
Our long lasting household crisis has been resolved! The Tracker figurine has emerged again 🙌 And so the Paw Patrol is reunited at last.
I thought about getting an iPhone 12 mini, but while I love the new design and everything, I really love having TouchID on the SE I got earlier this year. I think I’ll keep that one until maybe next years phones.
I know Apple, everything outside Cupertino is not worth mentioning. I don’t have to sleep at 9:30am… I just wanted to check on my existing order. Thanks for not letting me!
Work, work, work… taking notes, attending meetings, coding a little. Stuck in my home office since the beginning of March. 🦠

#adayinthelife – Blogging leads to freedom. Micro.blog means a better community 🙏
Guter Kommentar von Giovanni di Lorenzo in der Zeit. Es muss umfassender informiert werden und Regeln müssen klarer und vor allem auch durchgesetzt werden, sonst interessiert sich hier bald gar niemand mehr für irgendwas. Corona-Politik: Klare Regeln schaffen Freiheit
Kann es sein, dass ausgerechnet wir vorschriftenverliebten Deutschen ein Vollzugsproblem haben? Und woran liegt das? Sind die Behörden zu zaghaft oder nur überfordert? Oder sind wir etwa anarchischer geworden als Italiener oder Griechen, denen das Misstrauen gegen Reglementierungen doch angeblich im Blut liegt?
Does anyone voting for Trump at least once try to read his Twitter feed? It’s unbearable and should be evidence enough that such a horrible human being should not be president of even the tiniest country in the world. Such a terrible person should not even be allowed to do anything in politics. And yet… he will probably win again. I don’t know what this says about a country.
Sehr gute Kolumne über die Beschädigung der Demokratie durch Trump und Konsorten. Das Schlimme ist nicht, dass Trump wieder gewinnen wird, sondern dass es Menschen gibt, die so jemanden wählen. Donald Trump beschädigt auch unsere Demokratie - spiegel.de
I wish I had more time! I read my old story from NaNoWriMo and asked myself why some things are as they are and how it may continue. Found my notes for it… and boy, I put quite some thoughts into that 🙃 Now that I know some of the twists, I’d like to know how the story ends 😉
Also… What I started to write in NaNoWriMo back then… I still like it! I rarely find anything I write good after a while, but this is actually a decent starting point 🙃 maybe I should get back to that story!
