I know it sounds like the ultimate editor-nerd-Stephi thing to have a favorite typo, but...

"Germany’s #rail problems have become so bad that Deutsche Bahn’s intercity service is less punctual than even the worst operator in Britain." There were lots of people doubting on here that Germany's trains are worse. Voilà, FT has done the numbers. www.ft.com/content/d3b6...

Nutella inventor Francesco Rivella has died at the age of 97. In his honour, Germany will now indulge in its usual pastime of disagreeing on the gender of 'Nutella'. atlas-alltagssprache.de/runde-4/f24a... (via 'Atlas zur deutschen Alltagssprache')

For those wondering - it’s a demonstration against the far-right AfD party, and the conservative and liberal parties, who this week for the first time worked with the AfD to try and pass anti-immigration laws.

This is literally written on a plaque on the square in Berlin where the Nazis burned the books in May 1933 which they had looted from Magnus Hirschfeld’s library: “THAT WAS A PRELUDE ONLY, WHERE YOU BURN BOOKS YOU ALSO END UP BURNING PEOPLE” HEINRICH HEINE 1820

This sums things up well, if you have family, friends, preachers, teachers, colleagues etc. who you think are good, but support the madness.

Close but not quite. Cameron was way more liberal than Merz. He was a twat but a largely right-centrist twat. What Merz is saying is closer to a Johnson without the stupid hair. From what I see anyway.

Liebe Jüngere! Das Bild ist Köln, wahrscheinlich 1947. Also das, was nach über 2k Geschichte davon übrig blieb. Köln ist meine Heimatstadt. Als ich klein war (60er) habe ich noch zwischen Ruinen gespielt. So sieht das übrigens oft aus, wenn Faschismus alles kaputt macht. Wählt keine Populisten.

It's true that not all AfD supporters in Germany are Nazis, but it's also true that all the Nazis in Germany will be voting for the AfD.

One of the biggest decisions kids face in the German school system is what school to go to after Grundschule: Gymnasium, Realschule, or Hauptschule. Some places in Niedersachsen also have IGS or Oberschule. Because Gymnasium is the direct path to the Abitur and university, it is seen as the goal. /1

Is food a useful way of viewing a different culture? Is Wurst an indicator of how #Germany thinks? Maybe, but what happens when you mess with traditional recipes and what do reactions to simple culinary changes tell us about a country? Blog Post: bit.ly/4gFuSAS
