the targets here are 1) leading greens and social democrats (potential coalition partners), to prevent a left-green city gov at all and, if they do form a gov anyway, to 2) legitimise the centreright governing with the farright afd, because "if the centreleft can govern with extremists, so can we"

Some woman came into our primary school to talk about diversity, and someone asked "like Britain's Got Talent?", meaning the dance troupe that had won that year. The woman replied, "Well yes, you could say there's a diverse range of talent on Britain's Got Talent".

Kind of weird that they are confused by this, given that the large majority of german fire fighters are volunteers. When I first moved here from the UK, I found the combination of words "freiwillig" and "Feuerwehr" quite alarming, like they can chose whether to show up or not.

think this is more of a "Christians in the US thing". here in germany, the only people i see evangelising are Jehovas Witnesses, and they are hardly a dominant force in public life.

Be sure to use Al when making your next, I don't know, meal plan, for example. Definitely do not call your friend who loves to cook and ask her for her favorite recipes or tips or ways to save time making meals, because you will end
up talking for longer than you had hoped, hearing, perhaps, about her father's cancer diagnosis or how lonely she's been or even what she's planted in her spring garden and then lost with the early frost.

also think its fun to see how diff languages do cheering for a team etc. norwegian has a special interjection "heia", eg "heia norge", from which the verb "heie" to cheer is derived

lexie @lexiecalised.bsky.social · 03/06/2026
maybe phrases with these kinds of meanings lend themselves well to borrowing, regardless of language. eg i speak neither french nor spanish, but still use vamos or allons-y in conversation. tho ofc this is different to the "go team" sense of lets go

one specific thing i was wondering was whether the completive marker signs glossed as BEEN and FINISH can be used with a future reference, e.g. NEXT-WEEK BOOK I READ BEEN/FINISH, to get a meaning like "(by) next week i will have read the book" (sorry if the example here is completely off)

But it is also true that where there is freedom, there will always be regret. In fact, there cannot be regret without freedom. Regret is freedom projected into the past. So it is one thing to regret the outcome of a decision, but it is a very different thing to regret the freedom to decide
