I‘m an American documentary filmmaker based in Berlin, Germany. Find me at ourmaninberlin.com
I'm looking forward to getting the story of Jon's wild adventure out into the world.
As I’ve been asked about it a few times, YES there will be a video on YouTube about #LongestTrainEU

@ourmaninberlin.bsky.social was filming the whole thing

But getting the huge files to the channel’s editor has been tricky while travelling

All being well it’ll be out Friday

Thanks for the intense week of travel, Jon!
No rest here. Off goes @ourmaninberlin.bsky.social to Faro, and I’m changing in Tunes and trying to get to Pocinho today. The 24h delay to #LongestTrainEU makes my #CrossBorderRail the next few days quite complicated!

Having a blast filming Jon's record journey from northern Finland to southern Portugal.
And here is @ourmaninberlin.bsky.social filming me on the Iryo train Madrid - Badajoz, taken by a fellow passenger

He never had the money to pay for the ballroom.

It was always a scam.

We were always going to have to pay for it.

They were just waiting for the right moment to hit us with the bill.

This is now the time.

This is a good analysis on how Trump's war on science and its inconvenient truths is harming us all.

Please read and share. Thanks!

Total disaster.
Here they are: our two top Iran negotiators.

No diplomatic experience. In way over their head. Both with massive financial conflicts of interest, their fortunes tied to the Middle East dictators that make them rich.

What a disaster.

How could any "Christian" fall for this nonsense? Impeachment now!
Trump just posted this of him as Jesus. Straight up heresy.
