One cat was vomitting up cat grass last night and is now fine. But the other was feeling left out to threw up on the rug and my slippers this morning…

Me: “finally I can have a relaxing evening” My cat: “I’ve thrown up in 3 different rooms”

He has no ideas other than ‘if you think I’m bad, these guys must be worse so vote for me’ which is terrible when you’re losing support in multiple directions

I get that Conservatives aren’t thrilled about left-wing politics but the Green-bashing backfired and the AfD are an actual threat to the country so…

I find the whole ‘Linke scare’ thing quite weird considering they ran Thuringia fairly normally, were the junior partner in Berlin and other states before and many of the worst elements since left to BSW (who CDU had no problem aligning with)

Muse and Interpol both releasing their best albums for 20+ years in 2026 was somewhat unexpected

"Everyone wants to be left-handed these days!" screams Dave. "In my day, we used to cane people for getting fancy ideas about themselves. Left-handedness? Just an excuse for having bad handwriting." adds Steve

Left-handed people were almost non-existent too

Agreed. That ‘reputable poll’ that had Harris +3 in Iowa on the eve of the 2024 election that was out by about 12 points…

I am scarred by that Iowa poll in the 2024 Presidential election that was so unbelievably wrong

Jon Morris @jmorris14.eurosky.social · 16/10/2026

I think about this here. People will vote AfD in local or state elections where they think it doesn't matter too much, then switch to whoever is closest to beating AfD at a federal election because they don't actually want the racists running the entire country.

I always recommend the exhibition at Nordbahnhof too. As someone with a curiosity in DDR logistics I found it fascinating.

We have an app for our long-term parking. But the website and app have different log-in protocols and don't connect to each other. But at least it's now ANPR and our plate is recognised. I had to help a very confused old couple in a different car park who had notes (coins only) and no app.

Driving in Germany is actually quite easy when you don’t have a grumpy German man in the passenger seat shouting at you every 30 seconds…

There will always be someone else to blame and there will always be a substantial enough group to believe it.

Isn't Politico a Springer publication now? "Edgy contrarian, lets mock the left" takes that inevitably lead to "the fascists might not be so bad" is the usual direction (see Welt in Germany)

Saxony Anhalt. We in Saxony are not at this level of idiocy (yet)

Here in Germany the Putinists took the Presidency and soon will take the Governmental leadership in a State where Russia attempted to launch a terrorist attack against its Airport. Even when ruled as a threat to the constitution. Checks and balances?

Grift? A less confrontational Government in Madrid reduces their support right?

I also have little faith in the Federal Government with a majority of 12...

My fear remains not that the AfD takes power by winning an election here in Saxony in 2029, but the CDU decides its easier than compromising in their minority coalition with SPD and align with the AfD instead mid-term, and the aftermath is a chaotic fragmentation of anti-AfD options.

Reminiscent of "Hugo Chavez is a hero" discourse I remember from University times in the mid 2000s

It's genuinely upsetting seeing good people constantly being let go through no fault of their own, but because hands are tied by political decisions.

Jon Morris @jmorris14.eurosky.social · 06/10/2026

Ongoing brutal budget cuts to research; ongoing wait for citizenship and even difficulties finding a lawyer for advice about it; AfD now running a neighbouring state with CDU help; ex-Head of intelligence arrested for espionage.... The usual gripes...

The centre-right in much of Europe doing the "we are polling in the high teens despite going off to the right because we're being punished for being too left-wing when in government" strategy while never being challenged on the fact you need an electoral majority to govern.

They'll make it cover London and the Home counties and then say "it's too expensive to defend the North....Scotland? Oh well"

Oh it gets better. They take one machine, put their dirty sweaty towel on it. Do one set. Scroll phone. Leave sweaty rags on that machine and move to another machine. Scroll phone. Do one set. Don't clean it. Leave water bottle there. Move back to first machine. FOR 30 MINUTES

He's only just learning about other cities in California. You can't expect him to know about their political leanings

At 16 I left the country by myself. 16% of 17-year olds can't even leave the property line? My inner researcher screams "must be uncorrected sampling bias because that's not possible!"

Maybe Feijoo does a Laschett and blows a poll lead for both him and his assumed coalition partners

I remember the 2024 Campaign the "weird" thing was cutting through and then the Dems....just stopped doing it.

Wasn't the left block also quite far behind the right at the time the last election was called?

At first I was willing to give him a chance. But this is appalling and his conduct is pathetic.
