It’s crazy that France first invaded half of Europe, suffered a total defeat at the hands of the Allies in 1815, and was still allowed to keep Alsace-Lorraine. In fact, France lost virtually no territory at that time. Just a few decades later, France was already invading Russia (Crimea, 1853), Mexico (1861), and finally Prussia (1870). But the Germans defeated the French together in 1871.
This map shows the occupying forces in France following Napoleon's defeat in 1815.

Built in 1410, the Prague Astronomical Clock remains a masterpiece of medieval engineering. Centuries before modern technology, clockmakers tracked the cosmos right in Old Town Square—displaying the exact positions of the Sun and Moon while keeping time centuries later.

The winged serpent is the famous signature of German Renaissance master Lucas Cranach the Elder. Granted a coat of arms by Frederick the Wise in 1508, it depicts a crowned serpent holding a ruby-set ring—and became Cranach’s distinctive artistic hallmark.

Exclusive: German authorities are planning to introduce warrantless mass surveillance of new media online. The proposed legislation would authorize German authorities to use AI to automatically monitor platforms such as X, YouTube, and Instagram and to impose sanctions for alleged violations of journalistic due diligence. The surveillance is intended to be “preventive”; to facilitate it, the platforms have to provide technical interfaces through which the authorities can access the data.

Mein Fitness-Tracker meldet sich gerade und lobt meine Trainingsleistung, ich sammelte ‚Aktivzonenminuten‘ und Cardio sei ich gerade voll drin… dabei sitze ich am Schreibtisch und lese nur die Nachrichten 😳.

Schools should teach English, maths, and science.

Parents should teach respect, responsibility, and accountability.
