Afaik the availability of part-time work boosts labour force participation, i.e. to many part-time workers, the alternative is not 'work more' but 'don't work'.

That strikes me as a major obstacle to any CDU/CSU plan that hopes to boost productivity by making it harder to work part-time.

Oh cool, even the TOP OF THE GODDAMN WARDROBE isn't safe from the younger cat anymore, because apparently IT CAN RUN UP WALLS like it's in the FUCKING MATRIX.

Step 1: Tell Trump the Greenland deal is on
Step 2: Get him in front of basically any of the German notary publics I've encountered to sign the deal

There are plenty of us, including people in parliament and government. But there is no point in pushing for it, over here. The UK does not know what it wants yet. Sure, Brexit polls abysmally, but Reform are polling well.

Let's talk about it when the UK has made up its mind.
It is increasingly obvious we share interests, we still have a big economy and big market and also a big military. I'm not saying that becomes received wisdom, but it does feel like at some point there logically should be EU people openly in favour again

The good news is that 'gladbach have almost doubled their half-time xG from the midweek game, the bad news is that, erm...

Gedanken darüber um halb sechs von einer schnurrenden Katze geweckt zu werden:

Ist die Katze glücklich, möcht sie summen,
Doch kann sie nur wie ein Schlauchbootmotor brummen.

I would like to thank Crystal Palace for making sure that Liverpool are not the worst defenders of a title this year.

Apparently Germany also spied on Obama during the Merkel years and does anybody have the number of those Mills & Boon fellas, because I got this idea about a novel called "The President's Favourite Foreign Policy Position".

Just incredibly unprofessional from Villa. Good luck getting any loan-with-buy-clause deals over the line in the next couple of years.

And people looked at me funny when I said that my goal as Betriebsrat/works councillor is to be better-dressed than management during every encounter.

Kudos to Ms Mamdani for leading the way.

Thanks again to @huan-san.bsky.social and @kateofthewillow.bsky.social. Love how 90s goalkeeper jerseys are basically just dazzle camo to hide how flabby the keeper is.

The chances of seeing an ancient Ronaldo sign for MSV Duisburg in 2029, desperate to get beyond 997 goals, is non-zero ("he agreed to a contract in which he gets paid mainly in Currywurst and Köpi", a club executive assures a horde of accountants with the most furrowed brows you ever saw)

Fare thee well, old Liverpool wallet. Thanks to @kateofthewillow.bsky.social for getting me one that's practically identical but not busted.
