To express how big this is: I just spoke to someone who has worked in migration services in Germany for several years, and their immediate reaction was to burst into tears of relief. Yes, this news has come late: but at least it is here. There is now no legal doubt about who and what the AfD are.

Ooohhhh I just introduced a first-person plural narrator (me and the writer) into this paragraph that uses a passive construction to describe how something is meant. Feels cute, might delete later.

What if I just translate Rauschen as noise? When it’s a noun, anyway.

So. We're a bunch of artists and writers surrounded by AI gouging out the soul of Hayao Miyazaki for clout, and triple-fried ghost-written celebrity "novels" written by people who hate writing for people who hate books. I can think of no better reason to dig your heels in. Create out of spite.

Off to the Leipzig book fair, where I haven’t been for a while. It’s big and friendly and chock-full of cosplayers, so I expect to love day one and hate day two.

Berlin‘s CDU/SPD city government seems to have decided not to let its properties to NGOs any more, against previous assurances. The result: essential initiatives like Moabit hilft out on their ear.

My second screenwriting course done now, so many great people with great ideas, wisely led by DFW Buckingham via @thereaderberlin.bsky.social. I love the collaborative aspect of workshopping screenplays, so different to my usual solitary work focused closely in on one piece of writing. #screensky

91 results. That's every book I've published since 1993, in multiple languages, scraped without permission to train AI. They're robbing us in hopes of replacing us.

Mit statistisch unsinnigen Zahlenvergleichen probieren nicht nur Rechtspopulisten immer wieder, eine angeblich höhere Kriminalitätsneigung von Ausländern zu beziffern. Auch zwei Bundesländer haben sich nun vertan.
