Adios from the public health trenches, where sometimes my best coping strategy is a little laugh— an ounce of prevention if you will 😉 As spotted on campus today, “what doesn’t kill you, mutates and tries again” So mask up, vax up, wash your hands & don’t give evolution extra material 😂 G’night🌙✨

„Glaubt Gerhard Zeiler, er ist Godot? Und da ist er endlich?“ Der Robert Menasse priceless.

Ich freue mich gerade sehr mit den Menschen in Ungarn - auch mit den Journalist:innen, von denen einige ihren Job verloren haben, die aufrichtig, investigativ, weltoffen, kritisch berichtet haben. Ich hoffe, dass kritische und pluralistische Berichterstattung wieder im Aufwind ist!

If Hungary can free itself from the rule of a corrupt Russian agent, the USA can too.
