Digitaler Stillstand beim Cupra Born: Die MyCupra-App funktioniert nicht, das Infotainment ist offline, die Werkstätten sind überlastet. Als ich schon den Austausch vorbereitet hatte, ging alles plötzlich wieder. Warum Cupra nicht offen mit IT-Problemen umgeht, bleibt für mich ein Ärgernis #Ladelust

What a revelation! A phone system that allows you to replace the tinny, canned, on-hold music with... nothing at all. My cell phone's shitty speaker can't handle music. It does just fine with silence, though.

Calamus 14 Not heat flames up and consumes
A declaration of love, eroticism mixed with nature imagery. Something of a theme in Calamus! It didn't really grab me though, I think because so many of the lines start with negations and it distances me from the meaning.
The sexy line here:
the flames of me, consuming, burning for his love whom I love!
I also like the imagery of seeds wafted in the wind, then heading to "my Soul is borne through the open air".
This musical performance by the Erato Ensemble is a nice interpretation.
We should probably open our borders wiiiiide open if it means we finally start electing non-shitty mayors.

I just finished Ken Liu's The Grace of Kings. It was good, but not great. It was too long, for one thing. The book also grows increasingly cynical as it goes on - something I could've done without. Still, it was full of interesting ideas and engaging characters.
If you want great, though, read Liu's first collection of short stories, The Paper Menagerie - it's absolutely brilliant.
