Congrats, Fedi! You, yes YOU, are my Sunday lunch date.
I'm not going to finish any of this, but it is a sunny day, I am in a good mood, and I am avoiding all of my responsibilities, so I guess tell me a story, or #AMA, or just, I dunno, wave 🤷🤣

I cannot get "Faschismus is Back" out of my head now.
And in case you've seen the video and wondered if @janboehm's falsetto and transitions are fake, THEY ARE NOT. The guy has a voice that sounds even better live.
Go see it live if you can. Seriously.
And the rapping. You don't even know.
(If you liked Hamilton, you'll love #EisernEhrenfeld? 🤣🤣🤣 If you speak German, anyway...)
I think those of you who write off the Trump admin as JUST sowers of chaos are making a huge mistake with huge consequences.
Of COURSE Trump is an agent of chaos. That is his job description.
As appointed by the very organized, deliberate, and intelligent eugenists behind the curtain who aren't just responsible for Project 2025, but who have been setting up for this opportunity one way or another since the Nixon administration.
It's going to get bad, and it is going to get bad fast for people who might not be you at first, but don't fool yourself.
I don't think anyone can afford to wait this one out.
They spent the last four years getting the scaffolding in place for what they will now build.
The political infrastructure won't save you from an entire system which ignores laws and the constitution if nothing can enforce those things, and now, very little will.
Trump is there to sow chaos. He is both figurehead and sideshow. But he is not the operation, just its means.
@puniko still love it ♥️
@puniko I loooooove it
Be VERY FUCKING KIND to your marginalised US American friends in the next days, weeks, months, years.
If there is gallows humour, breathe. Listen. Hear.
If there is anger, breathe. Listen. Hear.
If there is fear, breathe. Listen. Hear.
But mostly, don't get in the way of people feeling whatever way about existential shit.
Because the fascists mean it.
It's been a week. I am tired. I cannot think anymore.
A year of intense development, mostly just me, and today, it ALL came together with all of the pieces and parts and packaging.
It's not DONE, but it's a real thing now.
Think I've earned my evening.
@puniko I travelled 1st class on most days I went in to ZH because the day upgrade was 8.80 and it was at most 2x/week (COVID reasons plus too much rush hour input). But if I go in every day, which seems to be happening, I might as well upgrade.
Just don't wanna commit yet
@puniko yeah
@puniko yeah :( I wouldn't buy it unless I was living on a train
@puniko BUT!

@puniko I have a 2nd class (year) GA - you can upgrade it completely or for a month. I figured I'd try it
@puniko yup
Upgraded my GA for the month, as I seem to be going in every day now.
I HAVE CRACKED, PEOPLE.
Caught train to new office at last second.
Did NOT see I'd chosen a connection with five transfers.
VERY NO.
@rysiek I think what folks vastly underestimate is what a bloody challenge it is to be foreign somewhere. Even with money and privilege.
@rysiek This.
In Germany, one of my good friends is from Tanzania, and we find it darkly amusing that in conversations, she refers to herself as an expat, and I call myself an immigrant. For exactly the same reason. Watching people choke as their expectations are messed with can be amusing, when not infuriating.
"I didn't mean *your* kind of immigrant"
"Yes you fucking did."
