Christian Odendahl @codendahl.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The Munich area is so wild. All the dark brown, bar a few places, is basically farmland and villages. 4110

Christian Odendahl @codendahl.bsky.social · 22/09/2026This is the method of the report, and the manifestations of the different kinds of antisemitism. (sorry, in German, maybe an AI can help you read it) 121
Christian Odendahl @codendahl.bsky.social · 22/09/2026But the key chart for the current debate around The Left is this: different forms of #antisemitism by political leanings (far left to far right) *in Berlin*. It is, frankly, shocking. 42516
Christian Odendahl @codendahl.bsky.social · 22/09/2026The antisemitism is young, too, with the exception of the "guilt-rejection" form, which matters a lot more among older cohorts in Germany. ("tradiert" is handed-down) 271
Christian Odendahl @codendahl.bsky.social · 22/09/2026This whole chapter on antisemitism in Berlin (and Germany) is very interesting. Here you see "handed-down antisemitism" (ie not post-colonial or other newer forms) over time. #Berlin really stands out. 2278
Christian Odendahl @codendahl.bsky.social · 22/09/2026There was another "OBE" awarded to an 87-year old American and her grandson, Tova #Friedman und Aron Goodman. He made a TikTok channel for her, and she has told her story of surviving Auschwitz as a child. She spoke this year on Jan 28th in the German #Bundestag. 1174
Christian Odendahl @codendahl.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Here is the text in English. Shame that her appearance in Last Week Tonight was not mentioned. 4141
Christian Odendahl @codendahl.bsky.social · 20/09/2026#CDU now at 4.9% according to latest projections (in MV, the north-eastern state of Germany). I have yet to hear a plausible scenario in which Merz can survive this. 127722
Christian Odendahl @codendahl.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Interesting note by GS on r* (the neutral interest rate). What we think is a restrictive stance is in fact the new normal. Shame that my 1.38%-interest mortgage is up for renewal soon. 280

Christian Odendahl @codendahl.bsky.social · 15/07/2026The Eichenprozessionsspinner has reached London. Doubt Londoners know what that means yet. And how much it will cost to contain that climate-change-supported invasion of a nasty moth. 6202
Christian Odendahl @codendahl.bsky.social · 08/07/2026On Germany's economic situation, most Germans expect it to get worse. Hardly anyone thinks it will get better. 3151
Christian Odendahl @codendahl.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Wondering where the bottom for #Merz is. Net approval of -70% has to be the maximum, surely. Then again, it is only 2026. (His term ends in 2029.) 35310

Christian Odendahl @codendahl.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Britain was very good in phasing out coal. It's now leading on offshore wind (which may be costly but good for the world if UK brings down costs further). Electrifying heating/cooling: I see huge potential for this today. I mean HUGE. 1170
