Went on a guided tour yesterday with @berlintourguide.bsky.social
and loved seeing a side of Berlin that was just a bit different from the usual tours. Ryan’s expert knowledge and enthusiasm for the city, helped illustrate how different West Berlin was during the years of the Wall

The idea, part of "Operation Nemesis" was not just to take revenge, but to bring global attention to the genocide.

Once again, the rise of the AfD and its relatively greater popularity in the East has led to yet another round of discussion around the legacy of the GDR and contemporary German politics. A short thread:

The Brutalist is a huge disappointment. It tries so hard to be profound but the director just doesn't have the chops.

Good to see:
1. The rise of the BSW stalling somewhat
2. the Linke finally being somewhat relevant again

Sarah Wagenknecht's socially conservative, anti-migration, anti-West left wing party (BSW) has also stalled out and the Linke is reviving (possibly because the Wagenkecht faction is now gone making it more palatable and possibly because the new Left co-leader forcefully speaking against Merz).
