People are having very strange conversations with ChatGPT, in which they discover secret cabals or conspiracies or that we are all in fact living in The Matrix. It sends these people into delusional spirals. Then ChatGPT tells them to email me about it. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/t...

#Glyco27 comes to the end. The defining theme as defined by Nicki: you cannot see what you don't look for. Keep looking. The glycome never cease to amaze you! Thanks to Matt for a great meeting. Look forward to Glyco28 in Tokyo.

Today at the Staatsoper: Klaus Florian Vogt as the perfect Lohengrin, Groissböck as König, Nylund & Kampe as Elsa & Ortrud, Thielemann conducting. The sluice production is a bit better than the „Gasthof“ one - still, why can’t producers just tell the story … musically great! 👏

Just ended: Act II of Wagner’s „Parsifal“ at the Wiener Staatsoper in the unfitting, partly blasphemous production by Serebrennikov. Musically marvellous, though, with Günther Groissböck as Gurnemanz and Klaus Florian Vogt in the title role! One more act to go, but only €4 for the standing place.

Go to Italy (here the car mirror) and you see that your car hits a lot of insects - quite unlike „green“ Austria, in which pesticide use is obviously so prevalent that there are fewer insects in the air & fewer to kill!
