In Berlin, German government employees are working on digitizing all of the files of the Stasi, East Germany’s secret police.

Their task is great: 180 kilometers of files; 39 million card indexes; and 700,000 pictures and videos.

Wir wollen die Staaten des Westlichen Balkans so schnell wie möglich in der EU. Dass wir seit 13 Jahren keine Mitglieder mehr aufgenommen haben, zeigt auch Versäumnisse der EU. Die wollen wir heute überwinden. Mit dieser Botschaft bin ich zum Westbalkangipfel gereist.

The sleepy desert town of Las Vegas, Nevada is seeing an unprecedented volume of tourism as up to five cars per day pass through the city now, and sometimes a bus.

The population of Las Vegas is only 2,400, and they have no clue how they will accommodate so many visitors.

Wenn man sich ein halbes Brathähnchen kauft, sitzt irgendwo in der Stadt ein random Bre, der die andere Hälfte isst. Irgendwie romantisch.

Once again, my birth certificate (& all Egyptian birth certificates) have the phrase "born in Egypt" in hieroglyphs.

Read from right to left because you read from where people/animals are facing:

𓄟𓋴𓁒= born/to give birth
𓅓= in
𓆎𓅓𓏏𓊖= Egypt (Kmt, pronounced Kumat)

Our marriage & death certificates also have similar phrases in hieroglyphs.

This is the Karapınar Solar Power Plant, the largest in Türkiye and all of Europe. Looks like a scene from the Dune universe.

In the 19th century Lithuania had a unique “profession” - the book smuggler (Knygnešys) 📚

People risked punishment to secretly bring Lithuanian books into the country and keep the language alive.

UNESCO has described this 19th-century movement as a one-of-a-kind cultural phenomenon.

Today we celebrate our language and the people who helped protect it 🇱🇹🌿

Macron lays out France’s new doctrine of nuclear deterrence here at Ile Longue. France will increase its number of warheads, no longer communicate the number, open nuclear exercises to other allies, and include option of stationing nuclear assets in allied countries

Not long now until Berlin’s beautiful cherry blossoms start to appear…many of which were planted along the former death strips of the Berlin Wall after reunification. #berlin

es ist geschafft! #Dresden hat nach 80 Jahren nun wieder eine vollständig bebaute Rampische Straße; die letzten Gerüste sind gefallen, Dank besonders an die Gesellschaft historischer Neumarkt e.V. - alle Häuser wurden erst nach 2006 gebaut; am Schluß des Videos die Frauenkirche
