Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?

I never thought I would say this but renewing my residency permit at the HD Ausländerbehörde was down right easy! Online submission, response in one working day, and an appointment within the week.

The number of small businesses and artists I follow that are just not going to ship to the US after Aug 29th is staggering. Not only will people in the US lose access to so much art and excellent products, I'm deeply worried about the survival of these shops...

I need a German word for when you very confidently tell a stranger that this bus does not go to the HBF and then the bus goes directly by the HBF. I sit in ignorance and regret.
