Auch wenn die Polizei das dementiert: Falls jemand Fotos oder Videos hat, wie die Polizei AfD-Teilnehmer in Polizeiautos zur Veranstaltung in #Gießen fährt, bitte lasst uns das Material zukommen. Auch Material von Konvois, die Teilnehmer bringen, ist interessant.

In Cologne, KVB rental bike locations are available through an open API. I collected minute-by-minute positions of rented bikes on Nov 25, 2025. A map shows the path of one bike.

Bin mal gespannt was unser Kanzler vermisst, wenn er mal nach Palästina reist…Oder Jordanien…oder im Irak? Guesses?

Einfach nur peinlich. Jede Sekunde im Ausland eine Farce. In Angola deutsches Brot zu vermissen, was ist denn falsch mit dir?

To anyone who ever worked with municipality level data: this is the gif from hell...Just one needle in your stomach after another...
There are 10.990 municipalities in Germany.

From Berlin to the smallest municipality. All their names are shown in this map. The 50 largest cities’ names appear one after the other, after that they appear in chunks of increasing size.

That's pretty said and bad. I can't recall how often I've used these materials for various questions.
Just learned that Holger Döring retired from ParlGov in October.

If I'm not misreading his message, then this great resource will not be updated anymore 🖤

Die Reaktionen zeigen: Einige stört es, dass gebildete Bürger mit Migrationsgeschichte sichtbarer werden, ihre Interessen und Sensibilitäten artikulieren und Teilhabe einfordern.
Das alte Bild des anspruchslosen migrantischen Arbeiters - malochen, schweigen, Projektionsfläche sein - ist vorbei.
Das Bild einer Entfremdung: Die Stipendiaten der Deutschlandstiftung Integration verlassen bei der Rede des Bundeskanzlers den Saal.
Viele wollen es nicht verstehen oder wahr haben, aber die Äußerungen des Kanzlers haben enorme Kränkungen verursacht.

Das ist auch so (w)irr, weil er doch zuletzt selbst krachend gescheitert ist einen 0815 AfDler in einer öffentlichen Debatte zu stellen.

Einfach kein Wille zu lernen.
Um es deutlich zu sagen: Die AfD an der Landesregierung zu "entzaubern" ist naives Wunschdenken, dass man aus dem fernen Tübingen bequem äußern kann, weil man nicht mit den Folgen einer solchen Regierungsbeteiligung leben müsste

AI presents a fundamental threat to our ability to use polls to assess public opinion. Bad actors who are able to infiltrate panels can flip close election polls for less than the cost of a Starbucks coffee. Models will also infer and confirm hypotheses in experiments. Current quality checks fail

What's the most bike-friendly city in Germany? The latest Copenhagenize index has Münster on top of the list (ranked 7th worldwide). Even though not everything is perfect, a huge amount of effort has gone into improving the ageing cycling infrastructure - well done and keep going, Münster!
