I am an 🇪🇺. Parents from🇵🇹. Born in🇩🇪. Loving 🇳🇱.
Die Neujahrsansprachen waren diesmal unter aller Kanone. Weder Bundespräsident noch Bundeskanzler haben irgendwelche #Hoffnung gegeben. Aber anscheinend schauen sich diese #Reden keine an. Da habe ich selber eine mal verfasst: pastebin.com/YkEAR3sJ #2026 #neujahr #ansprache. Frohes neues Bluesky!

My New Years #Resolution: #Reading more #books. One book per week. ✊
I am asking myself: Why don't #bookshops give advice on how to read a book? I could buy 52 books a year instead of maybe 1.

Clickbait article on social media in Germany:
#Bikes need licence plates so that reckless drivers can be prosecuted!”
My answer:
“Cool! Are we also introducing owner liability in #Germany? #Fine s cannot simply be issued to the car owner; police have to identify the actual driver.”

I think if #Rheinmetall would make a special #fireworks edition, they would make a fortune. #newyear 🎆

Just saw Sheridans Tedx Talk in making #friendship. It was inspiring. I think friendship is more important than ever these days. Unfortunatly as you research him you see a pricetag on how to learn friendship. 😔 At least it seems to be a charity corporation.

Just saw in the #dutch #top2000 the song Kristallnaach from the german band #BAP.

Just remembered a parable on #taxes: The state has a sticky hand and is grabbing on the pockets of the citizen as he issues taxes.

This parable was from a politician who became later the finance minister of #germany. But this is #anotherstory.

Clickbait theme on social media in #Germany: Restaurant owners won’t lower prices despite reduced VAT. People act surprised. The same happened during the #Ukraine #energy crisis: #fuel taxes were cut, prices barely fell and rose again immediately.

Happy X-Mas to everyone. Yesterday, my spouse’s family invited two elderly people who have lost their partners. It was a lovely evening. Today I read that the German Association of Cities suggested setting up #funds to fight #loneliness.

Due to the holidays, garbage collection was moved earlier. The truck passed, I went to collect the bins — still full. A neighbour said: “They do one side first, then the other.” We’re not living on a four-lane road!?! #gasistocheap #workforceistocheap

Sind sie im Ruhestand?
Geht Ihnen ihre Alte zu Hause auf den Nerv?
Tragen Sie gerne Flanellhemden und Pullunder über ihrem Bierbauch?
Haben sie zu allem eine #Meinung?
4 x Ja?
Dann hab ich eine tolle Idee für Sie!
Gehen Sie in die #Kommunalpolitik! 2026 sind #Wahlen. Machen Sie mit!

Typical morning at a #german #bakery:

Customer: 55 rolls please.

Sales Person: Did you say fifty-five?

Customer: Yes, 55 rolls please.

Es ist keine #Demokratie, wenn Führungspersonen für mehr als zwei Legislaturperioden gewählt werden.

Germany will some how restart the #militaryservice for young men. Now the german president of the crafts association suggests, that men could do the civilian service in craft businesses because "craftsmanship is crucial for the safety and supply of society" 👀

#Hamburg – once the gateway to the world. Today, Europe’s metropolis of traffic jams, cruise-ship pollution and the creative overdesign of adhesive stickers. A northern city stuck between past glory of the Hanseatic League and present gridlock.

Today on German Spiegel: #humanoid #robots.
This seems a relief for humankind. But this will enforce more #unemployment (i. e underclass). Can social security systems handle this? I have a dark fear that #war will manage a human surplus.

The #pensionfunds of the dentists in #Berlin has #lost more than 2 Billion Euros in assests.

My guess for the future: #Overtreatment for the patients in Berlin in the next years.

Typical Facebookpost

- Lokal cyclist association complaining about the #safety in local city

- Commentator Wilfried/Norbert/Hartmut: "But the cyclist are driving insane. They are unsafe!"

- What Wilfried/Norbert or Hartmut do not tell: They are writing the comment while driving.
