Ich war zuletzt auf einigen Weihnachtsmärkten in #Berlin, #Hamburg & #Lübeck.
Immer auch auf der Suche nach #vegan​en Ständen oder zumindest Gerichten.
In Lübeck wurde ich fündig.

Und in Lübeck traf ich auch #Simone 💚, die am #Weihnachtsmarkt über Stunden & Tage mit einem Schild auf das Leiden besonders d. Schweine hinwies.
Wir haben uns eine halbe Stunde unterhalten. Ihre Empfehlung: Trag immer etwas mit einem Bild & Hinweis auf das #Tierleid sichtbar bei dir.
Sichtbarkeit schaffen im Alltag 👍

I'm re-watching #S1m0ne after many years (love this #film), and it's really interesting watching it for the first time in this new #AI prolific age. It seems very relevant. For example, this quote by Viktor stood out to me:

"Our ability to manufacture fraud now exceeds our ability to detect it."

How true. And this was made back in 2002!

Première fois que j’entends en toute conscience la version synthèse vocale de Simone dans une gare SNCF. C’est pas trop mal, mais :

- je l’ai démasquée quand elle a dit un mot qui sort de l’ordinaire (« QR code » quelle a prononcé « Q. R code » avec l’accent qui descend sur le Q comme en fin de phrase.)

- le reste est propre mais on ne ressent pas son sourire derrière le micro, c’est comme si c’était la vraie Simone mais avec un flingue sur la tempe.

Is there a "tongue-in-cheek" emoji? 🤔

If so, I assumed you would have used it. LOL! 😉

#Simone is a generational talent equal IMO to #Tiger (Woods) & #Michael (Jordan) which is why you can just refer to her by her 1st name & almost everyone knows who you're talking about in terms of sports.

It will be interesting to see if at 27 she continues to participate in competitive gymnastics & if she still has enough talent & ambition to make the Olympics in 2028 at age 31.

If she does continue to compete, I think it'll only be for as long as she' still thinks she's competitive &, even then, it will be more for the continuing income from endorsements & branded products than for the "thrill of victory," because it's not like she hasn't accomplished enough already. 🤷‍♂️

So I did some research on the I got this morning. It’s a proof copy for the First Edition of the very first English translation of the book.

I could be wrong in saying this is a fairly special addition to my book collection - but it certainly feels important to have such a book! is a really important author and I can’t wait to read the book.
