It’s Friday night. I’ve done enough this week. You’ve done enough this week.

I genuinely can’t believe this is really happening. We need the night. This is some of the most dystopian stuff I have ever seen in my entire life.

I’m so sad to share that yesterday was my last day at Scientific American. It was an honor to work alongside my incredible colleagues and to speak with researchers across the sciences. If you’re looking to hire staff or freelance, please consider me and my other laid off coworkers (🧵)

She is made of but cardboard, so her time on this mortal coil will be brief, but I hope she entertains and educates many during her stay. Wish her luck, everyone. 🫡

Moin 🖖☕️ Heute ist "Towel Day - der intergalaktische Handtuchtag". Ich werde ins Raumschiff steigen und mit meinen Handtüchern unbewohnte Planeten für mich reservieren, bevor die Menschen mit ihren Liegestühlen, Badetüchern und Cocktails kommen. Mit dem Mars fange ich an. Schönen Pfingstmontag 🫶

DAS und nichts anderes ist @dielinke, besser bekannt als SED, auch bekannt als die Mauermörderpartei. WIR vergessen und verzeihen nie! Und ihr, @CDU?

Es ist Mitte Mai und ich muss die Heizung einschalten weil mir kalt ist..
