The video on Palestine that got Yanis Varoufakis BANNED from Germany (Diem25 | YouTube, 2024-04-12)
🔥 An absolute must-watch🔥 (message in English with subtitles to choose btw English/German/Greek)
Description:
Yanis Varoufakis was due to give a speech at the Palestine Congress in Berlin on Friday April 12, when German police burst into the venue to disband the event 1930s style. Judge for yourselves the kind of society #Germany is becoming when its police bans the following words.
"Life is short and you should live it how you want, regardless of what people think. Don’t hold back. Say what you want to say and do what you want to do."
New Year has always been accompanied by complex feelings for me. Time has always felt like it was moving too fast, even as a child, and New Year is a stark reminder that another year has come and gone.
A lot of people use this moment to think about how they'd like to change, New Year, New You, but inevitably we are still ourselves. In the end though, I'm the worst person of all, an Optimist. I really believe that things can and do get better, and in the case, of New Year, New You, maybe the old you is pretty good already, and you just did the best you could last year, and you're gonna do your best this year too.
Our time is short, weird, wonderful, heartbreaking, and fascinating. I'm here for it, and I'm incredibly lucky to have this group of people to chat with, empathize with, and learn from. I'm ringing in the New Year with gratitude.
Anyway, as usual that was verbose, but please, tell me your thoughts on the New Year, Anything you want to talk about is fine!
@strangeculprits@RickiTarr Forget an artificial date on a calendar - nothing comes close to a life-threatening health condition to crystalise one’s priorities / goals / hopes / desires etc. It’s like a wake-up slap to the face. #CarpeDiem#YOLOBitches

What.A.Day!
Great day at #Nagasaki Univ. Q&A after seminar went in for 40mins - maybe because you can encourage even college students to speak up if you offer stickers (hot tip, let the shy kids at the back who stay on, come & get stickers after anyway)
Then a most fabulous shabu shabu dinner with Kagoshima pork (+ sake) in an amazing environ
Sorry no more details now - going to bed - I have to wake up for a 6am zoom panel (4pm US) 😳
No worries - up at 3 am then at 5:40 am before the 5:45am alarm. Good thing zoom call (and good meeting!) got over by 6:40 as it gave me plenty of time to deal with the deluge of email and to dos. Off now this morning to get some coffee and not that early of nearby attractions. #CarpeDiem
1½ hr bus ride on a somewhat whim after getting up late this morning (after no alarm good sleep), rushed and just about time to get a cold coffee and carb+protein eat to keep me going , and now another short bus ride and then maybe a hike #CarpeDiem#DasInKyushu#Travel#Japan #GetOutdoors
Been waiting for months to do today's hike: The ridge between Pürschling & Hennenkopf, 17km, 1160 elevation meters... Perfect weather, the air filled with the strong scent of fir & pine trees, early autumn light, grand views all around, very steep & super varied terrain!
“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.” ~ Henry David Thoreau, Journals
