This one will be chill I promise. I can’t hear anything, is it playing already? Try not to balk at the thought of it. What’s that supposed to mean. I said enough already, may I ask a question instead? My nodding is the indication of a yes, go ahead. Is it wise to care about time? I guess so. Alright…

“It all makes sense now. I mean it.” Lila exclaimed, her eyes staring into the clouds below the distant, blue sky above us. Albeit unconscious, she managed to maintain an esthetic and composure that I had to be sharper than a knife for. I blame the government, not her. We aren’t asking for world peace, just common sense. Someone didn’t do his job. Why is she to blame, then? I was lucky enough to hold her; although had her neighbor Tierré not helped lay her into the shade of t

So, anyways, I was saying. The train sped up, slowed, and came to a stop. You mean at the station? It was about a hundred meters away, the sign - on the underground wall across from the window I was sitting next to - said so. What? I saw a sign. About object permanence? No, idiot, a “100m ->” sign. The doors opened and everyone started panicking and running towards the exit. Turns out the train was malfunctioning, and they expected me to stay inside the train carriage until t

Your iPhone Isn't Listening — But Does That Actually Matter? The idea that your phone is secretly listening to your conversations is one of the most persistent tech myths around. And to be fair, it's also one of the most understandable. You mention needing new running shoes over dinner, open Instagram twenty minutes later, and there they are — Nike ads, right on cue. The standard rebuttal goes something like this: your phone isn't listening. Advertisers are just really good a

Vergiss die Zeit nicht! What does that mean? How the hell would I know, I don’t speak russian! Why would a deer have last words after being hit by a truck? You do understand that this is way above our pay grade. I’ve heard of those, it’s got something to do with the 7G networks storing data in their brains for safer storage. You need to take a chill pill. You don’t get to tell me what to do. Can’t we agree that this is straight up weird? Of course it is, stupid. Why do you ke

„I rant a lot, I know. How else would I understand what bothers me about my day? There is a fine line, however, between constructively criticizing and blatantly complaining. ChatGPT, the concept I complain so much about, is really, really cool. What I am missing is an ExplainMeGPT, should be easy to create, with a single prompt: ‚Explain whatever was said in the language I understand, do so assuming absolute innocence.‘ That would be hella funny. „ „You’re pissing me off“ „Wh

In der Zukunft zu leben, ohne sich im Moment zu verlieren oder zurückzuschauen, den Tunnel zu verlassen und sich ins Weite zu trauen. Die Stille im Auge des Sturms zu genießen, soll das Umfeld herumschleudern und fliegen, solange ich mit dabei und zusehen darf. Wann hat man etwas erlebt, außer es nimmt ein Teil von dir, ein Geschenk oder eine Last? Vergeht die Zeit wenn man sie aufnimmt, schwindet  die Kraft wenn man sie ausübt, verliert man wenn man probiert? Sehe ich richti

wthelly  Wth  What the helly?  What?  That’s not wind, it’s gust.   My scarf blew and I froze off.   I slipped and almost fell.   Here to wake me in the morning.   Faring me well on my walk home at night.   Remind me again. Have I felt you before?   With you? I am not familiar.  BOUNCE BOUNCE  Shake it off.   BOUNCE BOUNCE  Across the ledge!  BOUNCE BOUNCE  A ballpark of blue and red.  BOUNCE BOUNCE  Shake it off.   BOUNCE BOUNCE  SHAKE IT OOOOOOOOOOFFFFFFFF  SHAKE IT...

The day-to-day guarantees we take for granted – be it as regulated as the commute to work – are built on an infinite amount of energy. Life, rather. I wonder how difficult one of a millionaire dare be, may I live to see the day where I meet some, for just a quick peek, to confirm what I will never know unless I see it for myself. I am all for arresting criminals, but hey, we are in 2025, what kind of criminality is more pressing today?   Is this guy bothering you, mam?   Well

Untying the type of emotional knot we are experiencing with today’s patient will require strategically placed visions to the eye periphery preceded by a reduction in sensory stimulations to increase the probability of recognition. We will start with a word, then an image, and allude it to the physical – what already existed. The training data shows that, wait, what is this, Jamie? I am sorry, mam, there seems to be a problem? You were instructed to conduct simulations; you re

Ich hatte vor einigen Wochen das Vergnügen, Akin’s Traum, die Burgtheater Vorführung von Akın Emanuel Şipal, mittig in der rechten Paterre am Parkett sitzend genießen zu dürfen. Siehe: https://www.burgtheater.at/produktionen/akins-traum .   Begleiten tut uns das Schauspiel Köln in eine Reise durch das Osmanische Reich, beginnend mit Osman dem Ersten, jenen, den eines Nachts ein Traum mit einer sich wie ein gigantischer Baum über Grenzen streckenden und um die im Schatten bade

Ziiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeh Zieh. Noch ein Stück nach oben. Stopp! Das ist doch bei weitem nicht fest genug, wie soll das bitte der Spannung Stand halten? Kling dich vorne ein, dann ist der Klang umso schöner, und das Knistern wird sich in einen in alle Richtungen verbreitenden Knall bauschen. Nicht in die Mitte, sondern an die Grenze, am Rand ist es mir am liebsten, das kann aber von einer Person zur anderen unterschiedlich sein… Ich würds lieber fest halten und es dann durch meine

Becoming an adult is like studying law. Oh, dear. Just step out of your own head for a second, please. We move on! I know my way. You have never even been along this road before, have you? The sun is setting west, right? The guy passing us before said we should head east for another hour. Hasn’t it been two already? My leg keeps cramping; I am tired. I will go for a smoke, it’s probably around eight already and I still haven’t had one yet. As long as it keeps you going. Your

2025 was great. I wrote a bunch and explored everything that I set out to.  Nonetheless, it has come to my attention that my writing is nowhere near where I would want it to be, which is totally fine but going beyond anything that I am used to already will be a bit difficult without my own tool shed. Therefore, the weekly intervals remain as they are, and we will see during 2026 whether any specific ideas come up. Three stories - “mental retardation”, “Larry David in New York

Wos i in 2025 ondas gmocht hed Goa nichts! Na ned nur nix, sondern goa nix. Vergiss des Wochnend, mir wird jeder Tog gleich liab sein. Das Handy bleibt die Toschnlompn. Ich hass dich du gschissns Handy, schleich dich. Ja, dich mein ich. 2025 woa a hetz, ich hab tatsächlich eine wuzikleine Sammlung von 15mb an  grottenschlechten Texten beisammen. Mit 21.Februar.2025 sind das gut vierundvierzig, ich schreibs aus zwecks Wow-Effekt, Wochen an einem Versprechen, mich zumindest ein

Sir, this is the third time we have caught you taking off on unlocked bikes on the street. Even if the owner is not here, it does not give you permission to use it in their stead. Since the bike is not damaged and you admit it, we will let you off the hook with a warning. I mean, why would you wash and polish the bike that, past midnight,  you had grabbed and non-chalantly driven off the security camera angle. The owner said you pumped up the tires the next morning, why would

What is it that connects people? I engage in conversations with at least a dozen people a day, some of them repeatedly, some of them irregularly. For a long time, I thought it’s pain that connects. A vulnerable look into the other person’ eyes. You don’t like them? Well, maybe you haven’t felt the same type. I wonder what even dares me to think that others connect with me through pain in the first place, it’s kind of sad if you think about it, it’s as if I was reducing myself

No future, no past, just what is now. New York, can I get hit by a bus to find out how I can afford to buy an apartment by milking the cash cow. Lafayette or H, you pick. With you I feel no age, no stick. Where I can wear whatever I want,  hair clipped. Walk until I burn off the greese off my hips. Can you make my time stop again? Just so I don’t loose track of your scent and pretend To hold my breath until I can enjoy your air again. Every brick and bump shaping a chrysalis,

1.        50 Cent 2.        Reese Witherspoon 3.        Hans Christian Anderson Meeting God would be interesting, can I add him to that list though? He is kind of the OG celeb.

Whenever I don’t write something meaningful  – the time I spend sitting in front of an empty page - I tend to think about my past and future. The bright day awaits me after a dark night. A step into the next is another weighted by the previous. In sight for a second that will be forgotten – I pinch my soul time and time again: What truth was I sure to hold on to, except the one I chose myself?
