Excellent! Thank you for making some things become clearer, Stuart.

I knew I could rely on you to share yet another eminently useable map! Dankeschön!

Ich habe immer öfter den Verdacht, dass Politiker heute erst mal ‘aus dem Bauch heraus’ Positionen postulieren, um hernach dann zu überlegen, wie (ob!) dieselben zu rechtfertigen sind.

No better person! All the best and congratulations!

Dachte ich eben auch beim Lesen des Textes. Und wo sind die selbsternannten Konservativen (in der CDU, zB), wenn es um Begriffe wie ‘Anstand’ und ‘Respekt’ geht? Als gelebte Prinzipien schaffen und erhalten diese nämlich auch Realitäten, um die es zu streiten lohnt.

Brent, is there a catalogue accompanying the exhibition? Thanks!

Congrats, Sarah. Even if, looking from the outside in, welcome news like this increasingly appears to come from a different planet. All the more reason to celebrate!

The older I get, the less I am able to master the art of "understanding them". I read, am capable of empathy, know my German history shit and still -- self-interest alone, especially of the economic kind, should keep people from supporting the vile cohort. But it doesn't and I am none the wiser.

I‘ve been wondering about this myself — on the back of few, if any, in geography commenting on her actions. Ffs, if nominally progressive academics can force through such neoliberal bs, let’s at least call a spade... a spade.

Nothing thematic — we know what’s required. Post about decision-making: how to get car-dependent people on board of the decarbonisation process.

It depends, Antonio. Does your town have power over its resources? Can it make decisions without deferring to a higher authority? Are its citizens part of the decision-making process? All of this matters…

Interessant, daß auch die deutschen ÖR Fernsehanstalten dem Vorbild BBC nacheifern. Was im UK die Normalisierung des Herrn Farage war, scheint in D mit Frau W ähnlich abzulaufen. Warum nur? Quotenabhängigkeit?

Mmh. Which is their legitimate choice — and one I respect. But it should not nullify the fact that something, rather than nothing, is being offered.

I know. But at least Germany offers, as part of a ‘reconciliation agreement’, a not inconsiderable amount of € to Namibia.
