Enormous hill to climb yesterday just to get a few packets of shampoo. Today headlines of nobel laureate going on hunger strike for being refused medical treatment for not covering their hair.

It's not that I don't believe these stories, but I just don't believe there can be this many co-incidences. It's happening multiple times per day to me at this point. It's like our lives are being organised in some way by evil AIs. There could be other explanations, reguardless, it's odd. #

Help, with poison - Got gifted some soup a little while earlier. Tasted pretty good, nice and hot too. 5 minutes after eating it nose totally blocked, both nostrils. That was followed a few minutes later by several motorbikes driving by with passenger holding their noses and using one of those nasal inhalers. What are the chances?

Now every few minutes a surge of stinging nasal pain. I think I probably spend more time with nose blocked than unblocked at the minute. #

Today’s links:

  • Berlin's famed nightclubs, losing customers, face an uncertain future - The party scene in Berlin has an interesting history, where many of the big clubs started out as squat parties in large unused commercial spaces in East Germany following the fall of the Berlin wall. In the late 90s in London much the same was happening in the outskirts of London. The raves back then were kind of dangerous but a lot of fun. I wonder whether something similar will happen in the US if the commercial real estate crisis results in lots of abandonned warehouses. www.npr.org #

  • The US is quietly arming Taiwan to the teeth - With all these regions like Ukraine and Gaza destabilizing it makes sense to do some preparations to ensure key locations don't fall into trouble. Interesting that they are sending army personal all the way to the US for training. I bet that would be quite eye opening to spend time in the west like that. www.bbc.com #
