You keep what you kill

I was in Singapore a couple of weeks ago, when they raised their threat level to "orange". And I was impressed how well-organized, smooth, and professional they handled the situation. And by "they" I mean the government, the local authorities, individuals, businesses, etc. Remarkable. Very clear communication. No bullshit. Clear instructions. A clear, well-rehearsed plan that was carried out, across the whole country, within a few hours. And then I'm seeing the clowns that act as politicians and "leaders" here in Germany. Very embarassing. I'd have been surprised if they'd performed better, but still ... .

How on earth can you fuck up the sound when it's just one mic and DJ in the first place? Embarassing. Then there were lots of people smoking in the venue and security did nothing about it. Very Berlin unfortunately. Also, wayyyyyyyyy toooooooo muuuuuuuch playback, my friends. Either get a band or a proper DJ set, but this was, except for rare ins...

Mehr fällt mir dann auch nicht mehr ein dazu. Das Brot ist bestimmt gut, aber was für ein Bullshit. Ich hoffe, ihr nehmt auch jeden Tag eure Anti-Covid-19 Globuli. Und desinfiziert die Theke täglich mit gependeltem Wasser. Selig sind die geistig Armen. Ich hab übrigens auch manchmal spontane Gärung, danach riecht es dann meistens streng.
