Coma

Gotta say, when I saw the caption that birds were spooning I had to see what it was about.

A couple of pics from altstadt Annapolis during my visit there over New Year's.

Quite a haul for my oldest.

I haven't played Cyberpunk yet but I was into all the hype before it came out. When I heard that it was full of bugs I didn't bother with it. Is it worth getting into now? I used to play the table-top version with friends (yes, I'm old) years ago and it was pretty fantastic.

Hannover have opted to keep Dabrowski as Chef until the end of the season. I'm a bit surprised considering all the talk about Rösler and Thioune. Apparently Neuhaus was not interested as he was holding out for the Düsseldorf job.

That part was referenced in the article. "After the Germans were defeated in another world war the French wanted to get their hands on Saarland again due to its large coal deposits and that is exactly what happened. Saarland would actually have its own flag and even its own constitution, but it was, despite some forms of autonomy, essentially under French supervision. This was something that, as mentioned, the people of the Saar never really enjoyed."

@Rucksackfranzose I read an article today about the Saarland national football team that existed for a few years in the early-mid 1950's. It was interesting that they had to play West Germany in the final World Cup qualifier to determine the group winner in 1954. According to the article there was a lot of speculation that no one in Saarland wanted their "national team" to win because they mostly identified as German anyway and were German football fans at heart. Of course W. Germany went on to win the World Cup that year...just another neat fact about that time period.

I know I said all this but I didn't mean it. Now I'm facing the prospect of 3 weeks without fußball and it fucking sucks.

Depressing stuff.

Stuttgart membership is 48 euros through the end of the year. Increases to 60 euros on January 1. Very reasonable.

Just opened my Wrapped summary on Spotify and dammit if my kids didn't hijack my account. Top songs were Old Town Road and something about fucking Chug Jugs in Fortnite.

Tits you say?

Didn't even know they were active again until the song showed up on the Twitter feed. Great band.

Just sent 10 in.

I'm enthralled by the utter uselessness that is Davie Selke. Now @Tommy is moving in on my turf.

After the Berlin derby Davie Selke threw his shirt to a Hertha fan in the stands and apparently they threw it back .
