I am thankful I live in Canada. There's more of an effort to buy #Canadian here considering recent news. But I also think we should be buying elsewhere instead of the States or Russia, too. #Mexican, #Japanese, #German, #Moroccan, #Irish, #Nepalese... We need to support each other, more than ever.

Some 20 people including lawyers and accountants were arrested in Italy and the other nine in the German land of #BadenWürttemberg.

For some reason my #FreeTube application is stuck on #German audio (by default) and I can't figure out how to switch it back to #English! I mean, it's not THAT big of a deal. I used to speak German quite fluently but it's been close to 40 years and I've forgotten like 99.9% of everything I learned. (I can still read it a little though.)

The moment when you watch Tagesschau to practice your German and find out what you already knew about Le Pen. I'm not sure if Fermi actually said that, but I like the idea of not underestimating the pleasure of learning something you already know.

#DerDara von #derlinken berichtet über den #Artikel des #britischen #Telegraph "#Russia could be behind #migrant #terrorattacks, #German investigators fear.
The #goal, security sources say, is to #increase support for #farRight, #proKremlin #AfD." (leider hinter einer Paywall)

Vielen ist sicher aufgefallen, dass jetzt nach der #Bundestagswahl die #Serie von #Terroranschlägen wie abgerissen ist, obwohl wir sonst vielleicht alle 2-3 Jahre 1 Anschlag zu verzeichnen hatten.

Der #NoAfD hat das eine #Sperrminorität eingebracht und das Sie kaum noch aus Gremien heraus zu halten ist. Auch ich meine: Zufall? Eher nicht!

Škoda Group will deliver 46 trolleybuses to #Esslingen, #Germany, as part of a €41.4 million contract to support the city's transition to emission-free public transport. The vehicles, which will be delivered by 2026, include 12-metre and 18-metre models, with an option for 15 more. Equipped with batteries for up to 25 km of #autonomous operation and regenerative braking, the #trolleybuses will feature enhanced passenger comfort, including comfortable seating, electric ramps, and onboard Wi-Fi. The new fleet will help Esslingen achieve its goal of climate neutrality by 2040, making it one of the first #German cities with fully emission-free local #transport. Škoda’s role in Germany’s emission-free #mobility market continues to grow, with projects like the world’s longest tram for Rhein-Neckar-Verkehr GmbH.
