Pro-tip: buy or bring along an HDMI-cable plus right angle plug/adapter (for narrow setups) to an #hotel room and you have much more screen estate for working.

Don't expect great screen quality though.

Never have I received so many invitations from #PR agencies to, please, attend a #conference in the US. #Flight and #hotel paid for.

This tells me: I am not the only #journalist who is not #traveling to the #US at this time.

Sagt mal, wie kann man vorab herausfinden, ob ein Gastgeber/ Hotelbetreiber etc. pro „rechts“ ist?
Ich bin gerne im Osten Deutschlands #wandern. Aber der Gedanke, mit meinem schwer erarbeiteten Geld jemanden zu unterstützen, der meine Familie, Freunde und mich eigentlich hasst, verdirbt es mir.
Habt ihr Tipps? Gerne auch konkrete Unterkünfte per PN.

Hotel L de Lutèce: In Memoriam in Paris
February 27, 2025

Villa Nancy Thermae: Should I Stay or Should I Go

Villa Nancy Thermae: Should I Stay or Should I Go
#travel #hotel #nancy #france

I mean, maybe the Clash was not singing about us, but our opinion is that you should go but you should not stay.  See, the thermal baths are awesome and one of the great things to do in Nancy (France).  But you shouldn't stay at Villa Thermae.  Sadly, we're not really sure where you should stay when you visit Nancy.

We're getting ahead of ourselves...

We were invited to Nancy to talk about our ancient thesis of yore (Letter Spirit) which you can read about here. I mean, how wild to be […]

Early hours of the morning, thinking about the fact we need to stay in San Juan, Puerto Rico later this year, just checking hotel prices, as you do...

What the hell!? Is the entire island made of gold? Are the hotels all diamond-encrusted?
