“Jesse-Owens-Stadion” or tear-down!
November 27, 2025 at 12:25 AM
No, no. This is exactly the right name.

Call it “Hitler’s 1936 stadium” or “Jesse Owens Stadium.”

But this harmless »Olympiastadium«, as if its history weren’t problematic at all? No way.

Good job not whitewashing history!

And no, Spätis and other 24 shops aren’t ubiquitous.

(And no, this isn’t about me. I grew up in Germany. I’m used to this. And we have people who can and will pre-stock our fridge if we arrive on a weekend.)

Okay, but why?

Nobody needs a haircut on a Sunday (that couldn’t wait until Monday.)

But there are lots of situations in which people really can’t wait up to 36 h to buy:
• diapers
• baby formula
• milk
• food
• toiletries

Arriving in 🇩🇪 on a Saturday night can really suck, e.g. ↘️

We got a puzzle collage of buildings and monuments of my hometown, based on this ⬇️ picture. That was perfect, because my 10-year-old, who did the puzzle with me over the course of the week, knew most of these buildings, so the whole thing was much more engaging than a random beautiful image.

prosciutto-like ham, if only you could bring yourself to eating rat meat. (Nutrias and muskrats are called Biberratte and Bisamratte, repsectively, in German.)

Eating “rat meat” was considered highly taboo in Germany, but the great aunties couldn’t stop thinking about situations in which they ↘️

My only reference is related to what scholars would probably call multigenerational trauma related to (fears of) food insecurity.

Whenever nutrias or muskrats were mentioned, a great aunt or someone else in my grandma’s generation would pipe up and say how they supposedly made the most tender ↘️

If only a book’s language were a good predictor of its quality!

There’s so much revisionist garbage out there, in German and English. 😭

It’s the same with those ridiculously hyped “secret” burger or fries sauces, which usually are nothing but ketchup+mayo. 🙄
November 12, 2025 at 9:50 PM
Ugh. I don’t get the point of these two-flavor concoctions anyway. Anyone who likes ketchup and pickles, can keep a bottle a ketchup and a jar of relish — and choose the ration that tastes best to them.

Because it allows transport companies to raise prices for single-trip tickets (much more steeply than ever before) without any public backlash from middle-class voters with political influence.

This way, single-trip tickets have become a new “poor tax”, with nobody (who matters) caring.
November 7, 2025 at 6:20 PM
It’s a good deal for people who
🅰 commute by local or regional public transit anyway
🅱 are at least middle-class enough so that €63 (from 2026, with regular future increases) per month per household member is pocket change.

It’s a SUCKY deal for people who can’t (easily) afford this.

Why? ↘️

Actually, no, they don’t.

Take a few minutes and read this fascinating article about this Upstate New York County, whose legislature just flipped to Democratic control for the first time in almost 50 years.

Onondaga County GOP seeks answers after stunning losses. The consensus: Trump is a problem
A GOP legislator said he heard a common refrain from voters in his own party: ‘Anybody but a Republican.’

I’m sorry, but no.

Whoever made this mug is seeking to profit from a murder scene. Almost 800 human beings were murdered in the shadow of these signs, which were put up by those who ordered the murders.

We’d condemn merch with signs of other massacres. How is this different?
