Museum für Naturkunde
Dinosaur sighting! Liuba and I explored Berlin’s Museum für Naturkunde, finally seeing the skeletons of T. Rex and Triceratops up close. It was an amazing experience!

This was a disturbing comment to see show up in my YouTube comments feed today. I was talking about Daniel Naroditsky, a chess player who was falsely accused of cheating by ex-world champion Vladamir Kramnik. Daniel sadly died six months after I left this comment, shortly after receiving another attack from Vladamir Kramnik.
