Zep Tepi @tepizep.bsky.social · 13/10/2026After a long wait, the fifth and final season of the magnificent Babylon Berlin was worth every moment. The acting, the settings, the rhythm — once again, extraordinary. Acts of resistance, humanity and love, wrested from fate as the Third Reich looms. U.S. premiere in Jan. 2027. 030
Zep Tepi @tepizep.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Nightmare seems almost too mild a word for this. We’re in a state of deep shock, and personally, I’m both heartbroken and white-hot angry.

Zep Tepi @tepizep.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Thanks, dear friends, we’re coping. Houses here don’t have AC, because nobody needed it until a few years ago, so we have fans going and spend evenings on the deck with cool drinks after dark,watching fireflies, the first we’ve ever seen in this northern region. @jakichantler.bsky.social 120
Zep Tepi @tepizep.bsky.social · 23/06/2026It’s so hot in northern Germany, in this second big heat wave of the year, that I’ve just spotted the first two fireflies ever in my garden. I’ve seen them in the south of the country before, but never up here. 020
Zep Tepi @tepizep.bsky.social · 23/06/2026I’ve been in Prague a lot on business and have seen it a few times. At the full hour during the day, the skeleton figure representing Death rings a bell, the Apostles appear, and a rooster crows. Slightly unnerving 😉 120

Zep Tepi @tepizep.bsky.social · 28/05/2026I was fortunate enough to visit Crete and this museum in 2019, and I remember marveling at this little pottery “handbag.” There’s such a sense of joy and liveliness in Minoan artifacts. I like to imagine they were a happy culture that celebrated beauty and took pleasure in everyday delights. 120

We see it in the rightwing co-opting of media - FOX, CBS - in the attack on universities/the humanities - in the sterilization of social media by algorithms - in the death of integrity. 272

Here's how. 252
Zep Tepi @tepizep.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Exactly, that was my reaction, too. By the end, it really did feel like a legitimate reconstruction of a woman exercising pharaonic authority a millennium before Hatshepsut. Fascinating and unsettling to think how many influential women may have been overlooked or minimized by later historians. 120

Zep Tepi @tepizep.bsky.social · 21/05/2026What a cynical interpretive lens layered onto an emotionally charged story. NYT unable to resist turning a simple, human moment into stereotypical psychoanalysis. A suffering animal appeared near us, and people wanted to help, but apparently that’s too straightforward, too human to be the point. 010
