I'm fired up and ready to launch! 🚀🔥

Just saw a #starlink train of satellites fly southwards towards Rome. As they went overhead they looked like a giant spaceship’s underbelly. An amazing sight.

One of my favourite German words is Muffel (a grumpy person). It’s used in compound words such as Morgenmuffel (‘person that hates mornings’) and Krawattenmuffel (‘person that hates wearing ties,’ or ‘tie grouch’). I suggest English adopts Muffel to make the following compounds…

How to do a media interview while being carried away by police for protest. 10/10, no notes.
