My latest long format video is all about the Neue Wache. Enjoy!

Yes, the thumbnail is… a choice… but you’ve got to fight for clicks over there! There’s a LOT more to the place (and the video) than him.

You'd think that with the thousands of euros I pay each year for "public" health insurance, I'd be able to find an appointment at an orthopedist for my kid THIS year. Depressingly enough, I got an appointment within 3 days for one that I get to pay out of pocket for...

Where to even begin with this kind of stuff on TikTok? This is so laughably wrong I can't believe it isn't ragebait or AI.

So we spent today's reunification day in Eberswalde at the "Tag der Einheit Cup". After some difficult games and crushing defeats, the boy was rewarded at the end of the tournament with the "Best Goalie" award. More than proud of him 🥲

Flecktarn is the best tarn. On another note: too early of a start for a day where I could be in bed.

Staat und Behörden tun alles um den legalen consum und Anbau zu erschweren und wundern sich dann das es kein Rückgang im Schwarzmarkt gibt 🤡🤡🤡

18 Cannabis-Vereinigungen haben in Brandenburg eine Anbauerlaubnis bekommen. Oderblüten e.V. ist eine von ihnen und berichtet, dass sie bei den Behörden immer noch auf viele Unsicherheiten stoßen. Die Polizei kann derweil keinen Rückgang im Schwarzmarkt beobachten.

Maybe im getting old and cynical but the upcoming festival of lights really doesnt do it for me anymore. Every year it's the same boring light shows and you end up with an overwhelming "meh" impression. Some of it still nice to look at while out for a walk, but im not traveling across town for it.
