@redrobbery Das Jahr lehrt uns ja auch grade: Man darf sich gute Debatten nicht von Idioten kaputt machen lassen. Unter keinen Umständen.

@txgermanbre @PolitlcsUK @DailyMail UK greens are like the Germany greens were before they actually had to govern.

@PolitlcsUK @DailyMail Are the UK greens the same as the German ones or

🚨 NEW: Labour MPs are urging Keir Starmer to shelve his plans to lower the voting age to 16 because it’ll help the Greens One senior MP said “With the way opinion polls are going, it would be total madness to bring this in before 2029” [@DailyMail]

na das ist aber komisch. zeit.de/politik/deutsc…

Das Schäbigste und Widerlichste an dem Berliner Kulturskandal: dass die ortsübliche Korruption sich als Kampf gegen den Antisemitismus tarnt

@giulio_mattioli what is really astonishing is the people that complain the most are adamant that they will continue voting CDU.

This is interesting because from my foreign perspective I'm mostly struck by how *little* they complain about the government & trains! 😲

@JennyGnther Das einzig gute an dem Gesetz wird die mündliche Verhandlung in Karlsruhe, das wir ne absolute Schlachtung.

Ich leugne, dass Frankreich ein Existenzrecht hat...Und nun? Das Gesetz ist verfassungswidrig auf so vielen Ebenen.

@VsneTwit allzeit gutes meme:

Ich frage mich was man daraus schließen kann wenn Union und SPD zusammen 8% an Grüne und AfD verlieren. Wer kann da eine klare Politikempfehlung ablesen?

@ChristianVTC @CriticalEDH yeah that is the joke.

@blubball @CriticalEDH Must be the only one on the planet 😅 Volcanic Island was nos printed on Alpha set

Suspect found to be in possession of… FBB Volcanic Island???

@DBreymann @CDU Der wollte immer Kanzler werden, nicht Kanzler sein.

Da war mal einer, der wollte uns in der @CDU erklären, wie man Kanzler macht. Warum hat ihm keiner erklärt, dass die wichtigste Kompetenz dafür Kommunikationsfähigkeit ist?

@VsneTwit "wie man Infrastruktur etwa im Gesundheitswesen erhalten kann bei sinkenden Personal und steigenden Bedarf" IST ne Geldfrage. Wenn man bereit ist das zu bezahlen kann man fast alles haben.

Ich kann übrigens keine Partei Ernst nehmen die sich als Reformkraft inszeniert, aber die durchweg sinnvolle Krankenhausreform Lauterbachs offensiv verwässert (die hätte nämlich wirklich langfristig Systemkosten gespart).

@caemklein @VsneTwit Ja. Völlig unironisch, man hat es daran gemerkt das die ganzten Lobbygruppen permanent geweint haben.

@VsneTwit Lauterbach hatte Ahnung von der Sache. Er mag eine sperrige Persönlichkeit sein, aber fachlich einer der kompetentesten Minister, die die Republik je hatte.

@schieritz joah, das war vor 10 Jahren ne neue Erkenntnis. Aber die wollen disruption wie die Silicon Valley Bros: gnadenlose Umverteilung nach oben abgesichert durch repression.

Mir scheint, dass Teile der Union den Konservatismus über Bord geworfen haben und Disruption spielen wollen

@MtgNosferatu 1996 has called and wants its ideas back ;) But sadly it hasnt been true in at least 10 years.

Drawing an extra card in a game of Magic is widely regarded as cheating. But there is a legal way to gain the same advantage: choosing to draw first. If you have a limited (usually sealed) deck that can choose to draw, you will enjoy a broken consistency and attrition advantage.

@ThatchEffendi or worse: CK3

We've now seen some stuff written on the impact Paradox games have on how gamers think of Geopolitics, but I'm curious if romance-heavy RPGs impact how people process romance. Like how many people enter into a relationship with their expectations informed by Shadowheart and Astarion.

@inyourareasadge @txgermanbre That's true but the dominance of their network is underwritten by threats ov violence, not bc noone else cares.

@blubball @txgermanbre It’s more complicated than that. The AfD is the only party that is actively engaging in social work outside the big cities. Especially in the East German countryside, there are regions where all local activities are managed by AfD members.

I have to be honest with you, I think the comparisons of the AFD to MAGA as a 1:1 are greatly oversimplified and borderline dangerous to compare. I’m doing deep AFD research at the moment. They need to be analyzed completely separately or risk a broader issue

@txgermanbre yes, pretty much all european countries had one after the raid on the pirate bay. mostly progressive, civil liberties, digital focus. most flamed out.

CZECHIA HAS A PARTY CALLED THE PIRATES?!

@mmpiatkowski its not just market access and EU FDI but more specifically EU multis actively moving their supply chains into EU East. That means they profit from R&D spend in other countries.

A surprising finding: Poland's (and Romania's) speed of income convergence after reaching a $25,000 in GDP PPP pc income threshold has so far been as fast that of South Korea 🇰🇷 even though Poland 🇵🇱 spends on R&D only 1/3 of that in South Korea (and Romania 🇷🇴only 1/10!)👇 Interpretation: - One can become high-income by absorbing technology (including through FDI), not only by innovating at the frontier (and building cheabols to make it happen). This suggests that Polish/Central European growth model can be easier to replicate for developing countries than that of South Korea/Asian Tigers b/c it is much easier to open the economy/absorb technology/attract FDI than to build globally successful cheabols. Question: - At what income level does the technology absorption success story ends? Achieving 100% of the EU average level of income, which Poland may reach by 2035, may be the key threshold. That said, South Korea has stopped converging around the EU-27 income average👇 and its high level of R&D spending (and existence of global companies) seems not to have made much of a difference (although arguably there are other benefits of being at the innovation frontier, including military technological prowess [although UKR, which has had hardly any R&D before the war is proving it wrong], global soft power etc.). @Noahpinion elibrary.imf.org/view/journals/…

@SpicySash1mi @itsJulian23 Sea Stompy was the first good Chalice Aggro deck in Legacy. FoW + Chalice + Clock is an enticing proposition. And the supply of Portal 2 was minimal. Sea Drake avilability was reall the biggest problem.

@itsJulian23 Fr???

Believe it or not: the once most-expensive Card in Legacy 🤑

@txgermanbre nah. there is no mastermind. diffrent structural forces and a conservative media ecosystem that is willing to do their bidding for free.

@blubball Exactly. These are smarter people than the online are speaking of. These people have mastermind level skills
