Trying to find traces of WW2 in Berlin and other places but also interested in other historical remnants. The long-term goal is to the read my city like a book.
Usually my own photos.
Also into genealogy.

This is going to be a thread about my favourite resources (a work in progress). The main thread is going to list categories (e.g. maps) and there will side-threads listing examples. Keep your fingers crossed this works! Here goes nothing…

SHARE NOW: Texas just got a whole lot louder. Jasmine Crockett is running for the United States Senate and Republicans should be terrified. She’s smart, fearless, relentless, and she doesn’t back down from anybody. This is the matchup Texas deserves. Let’s go.

POLITICO: You pardoned the former president of Honduras even though he was convicted in a massive intl drug trafficking scheme. How is that 0 tolerance on drug trafficking?
TRUMP: Well I don't know him and I know very little about him other than people said it was like an Obama-Biden type set up

After several weeks (& weekends) of hard work (& being sick), I have just taken the time to make a list of the tram lines in 1939 and 1941 that went to Görlitzer Bahnhof (the former railway station, not the U-Bahn line) as part of a personal project. The next step will be to put it on GoogleMaps.

A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

Can we agree that Apple‘s Health app needs to be redesigned? It‘s just too fragmented, and just like on the Apple Watch you need to scroll a lot as if that‘s what they want you to do instead of displaying info in a very compact manner.

Walz on calling for Trump to release MRI results: "Here we got a guy on Thanksgiving where we spent time with our families, ate, played Yahtzee. This guy is apparently in a room ranting. It's not normal behavior. It's not healthy. Has anyone in history ever had an MRI & had no idea what it was for?"

Of course did I go to Museum island at 2am to check what remains of the buildings NE of the former City Palace (now that they are redesigning the area around Marx-Engels-Forum, Berlin-Mitte) can be seen! The view from Berlin Cathedral (esp. at daytime) is better, of course.

@muzg.bsky.social Did you see that?
Archaeologists or historians in Berlin, is this dig in the Innenstadt Park? I was way too nervous about how high up I was to get my bearings. But snapped this dig – close to the Berliner Dom on the opposite bank of the Spree.
