Sometimes marketing is all about waiting long enough for your audience to forget about the 80s and 90s.

I love how ALDI celebrates this brilliant new design that saves 40% of plastic by removing the plastic lid.

This is an article that took a lot of strength to write and I might take it down again. But I felt like it is an article that is very necessary right now. https://bastianallgeier.com/notes/grandpa

The leader of the German conservatives introduced the idea to collaborate with the far right AfD yesterday. He knows that he won’t get kicked out or replaced as the party leader. He will paddle back a bit after some backlash and that’s it. It doesn’t matter that he just meant on a community level either. The idea to collaborate with Nazis is now officially speakable without consequences. I feel sick!!

There's a terrifying new study about young men going around in the news in Germany atm.

This is just an observation as a dad of two boys (6 and 10).

In kindergarden and elemtary school, there are a lot of boys in this camp:

Super competitive, selfish, it's all about them. Strength, speed and power is something they strive for even at a very young age. There are boys colors and girls colors. There are games only boys play. Long hair means girl, etc. I was shocked that this shit still exists.

@Marco having kids showed me pretty clearly what I already assumed. You have to actively turn them into homophobes. They understand love as a feeling and automatically apply it to any partnership form unless you tell them otherwise. We didn’t teach them to be open minded. Kids are super open minded by default.

German news in 2023: Despite all the rain this winter, the ground water level is too low and experts demand a national plan to fight drinking water issues. This is fine.
