  • a close up of a clock on a building
  • a black and white picture of a clock
  • a close up of a clock on the wall
  • a close up of a black and white clock
  • a close up of a clock on the side of a building
  • a black and white photo of a clock on a wall
  • a black and white photo of a black and white clock
  • a black and white photo of a black and white photo of a clock

add = (
    lambda f: (lambda g: f(lambda *h: g(g)(*h)))(
               lambda g: f(lambda *h: g(g)(*h))
    )
)((lambda _add: lambda a, b: _add(a ^ b, c << 1) if (c := a & b) else a ^ b))

archive for if/when it gets deleted (it isn’t yet).

It is a rather baffling tweet. An hour later he tweeted “They wrote PEACE on the wall at Berghain! I refused enter.” …so my best guess is that he somehow blames John Lennon for his having just been rejected by the bouncer at a nightclub which is famous for rejecting people.
