Yet another Expat

Hello world, hello spring. It's been a while. Recording on a Sunday with a kid playing horrible flute through the wall. Divine. Back pain, tooth pain, and a norovirus. Living the dream. Sewages exploding at home and abroad.

Also a lovely 14-month-old who points at things until they happen. But life is good and I'm trying to keep this episode light. Succeeding partially - Maybe spiritual bird watching is the way.

Oh and I won the caffe hipster battle so I saved you that click.

Thanks for supporting!

Sunny days and deceiving titles. This one's worse than usual! Thanks to whoever did that 21st rating, you're the real MVP.

The sun is out in Berlin. Leonidas eats sand at the playground. Sterilizer is gone, it's his immune system against the world now. He also fell off the bed. He's fine. Probably.

Claude AI refuses the Pentagon autonomous kill systems and gets threatened for it. A Spanish guy accidentally controls 7,000 robot vacuums with a PS controller. Iran, AI war simulations going nuclear, and wasps in Germany carrying a 5,000 euro fine if you kill them without probable cause. Let's dive in. Like, rate, subscribe your grandma. Ciao! Also, thanks to you kind stranger who left the 21th Spotify rating. You are the best.

Fork vs wall & Vitamin D propaganda. Joining HBO Max and how my electric toothbrush outperforms me emotionally.
First time at the Berlin International Film Festival red carpet and a yikes Finnish body horror (Nightborn)
Also, the polar vortex will break.

Normal week.

Poop, algorithms, and the UN falling apart. Also: babies learning gravity, why you need a dog, Berlin's infrastructure having a moment, TikTok getting censored under new management, Jeff Bezos quietly dismantling the Washington Post, and measles making a comeback because apparently we're done with vaccines.

Like always, jumping between my kid throwing food and the world doing the same thing.

Pokémon cards are apparently the new way to move money across borders. Meanwhile, Berlin has turned into an ice rink, Trump posts AI penguins in the wrong hemisphere, and lab mice are being told to touch grass for science. Parenting continues to be a content (and contént) giving journey: from the food Olympics to the floor is lava.

On top of that, I interviewed an AI cheater, Lego launches internet-connected “smart” bricks nobody asked for, and Elon Musk shows new levels of public desperation.

Parenting, tech absurdity, financial mischief, and late-stage capitalism — all in one episode.

How to Get Notified for Auroras in Germany

Re-wearing clothes, crows at work, salad towers in China, ancient civilizations discovered with lasers, policy changes in the US, a shiny new Greek warship, and Berlin giving away… tons of potatoes.

Like always, jumping between personal stuff and random news :)

Another week of trying to keep up. Venezuela, Greenland, people betting on wars, chip wars, Greece losing its airspace for a day, Berlin freezing, power grids getting attacked, and me wondering (again) if growing tomatoes should be my plan Z

A Spotify Hack, Quantum Leaps, and the State Department's Font Fiasco. Heads up, this episode was recorded 10 days ago, so no info on the US invading Venezuela. I talk about a massive hack on Spotify, quantum computing getting a big upgrade, AI translating Chinese research into English, the bizarre font change at the US State Department, and the messy release of Epstein Files.

Hey gang - it's been a hectic end of the year. No news in this episode. More dear diary style and longer format. From Berlin's winter cold and my Vitamin D deficiency to a scam with fake Pokémon cards at the flea market, and my love for Radiohead. Tune in for personal stories and relatable moments of excitement and frustration according to the LLMs.
