35 years ago, on October 3, 1990, Germany was reunified. Just two months later, voters in the former GDR went to the polls in the first free federal election since the Weimar era. Despite decades of socialist dictatorship, East German voting showed strong regional differences.🧵
Will just leave this clip here of Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings talking about what’s wrong with America from a 1991 interview and it’s still all very true today
In der Politik ist Klimaschutz auf dem Rückzug, aber in der Unternehmenswelt gelingen Erfolge.
Sie werden nur nicht mehr so vermarktet wie früher.
Ein THREAD 🧵
The wife of Russia's ambassador to Germany voted in Berlin wearing a blue and yellow scarf
As soon as attention was drawn to it on social networks, the Foreign Ministry hurried to justify itself - the scarf had not only yellow and blue shades, but also black and white.
In honor of Keanu Reeves' birthday today:
“This is Matrix movie star Keanu Reeves. He was abandoned by his father at the age of 3 and grew up with 3 different stepfathers. He is dyslexic. His dream of becoming a hockey player was shattered by a serious accident. His daughter passed away at birth. His wife passed away in a car accident. His best friend, River Phoenix, passed away of an overdose. His sister battled leukemia.
No bodyguards, no luxury houses. Keanu lives in an ordinary apartment and likes wandering around town and is often seen riding a subway in NYC.
When he was filming the movie "The Lake House," he overheard the conversation of two costume assistants, one crying as he would lose his house if he did not pay $20,000 - On the same day, Keanu deposited the necessary amount in his bank account.
In his career, he has donated large sums to hospitals, including $75 million of his earnings from “The Matrix” to charities.
In 2010, on his birthday, Sept 2nd, Keanu walked into a bakery & bought a brioche with a single candle, ate it in front of the bakery, and offered coffee to people who stopped to talk to him.
In 1997, some paparazzi found him walking one morning in the company of a homeless man in Los Angeles, listening to him and sharing his life for a few hours.
In life, sometimes the ones most broken from inside are the ones most willing to help others.
This man could buy everything, and instead, every day he gets up and chooses one thing that can not be bought:
To be a caring person.
Simple Acts of Kindness
Share this — who knows, maybe Keanu will see it for his birthday!”

(1/4) 🇨🇳🇷🇺 #Chinas Außenminister #Wang Yi versichert seinem Kollegen Sergej #Lawrow volle Unterstützung für #Russlands Politik. Die offizielle Presse-Erklärung der chinesischen Führung nach dem Telefonat hat es in sich. Diplomatische Formulierungen? Fehlanzeige.
Wer’s noch nicht gemacht hat: Kauft es, auch im Juli. Die Nachfrage nach dem #9EuroTicket ist politisch. Und jeder Kauf ein bisschen Widerstand gegen die Fossilität.
Meine Kinder sind jetzt 12 und 14 Jahre, ich lebe in einer ziemlich gleichberechtigten Partnerschaft, arbeite Vollzeit mit Personalverantwortung und verdiene mehr als 90% der Frauen in meinem Alter.
Rückblickend: was lief gut und was hätte ich anders machen sollen
