The wiener is from Wien, or Vienna: a Vienna sausage.

The frankfurter is from Frankfurt.

The professor is slightly mistaken: "hot dog" is the name of the dish. By itself, the sausage is a frankfurter; only in a bun, it's called a hot dog.

Surely intimidation of political opposition . They are so blinded by their obsession for power they are losing sight of any decency
Instead of Bernie Moreno creepily following us to the cars we use to get to work in the Capitol and writing down their VIN numbers, I'd suggest he use his time in more productive ways …

Awesome thread and observation
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself.

just back from a worrying weekend in London.

Had a great time - it's still a great city to visit - but the backdrop of the media full of footage featuring angry people waving flags and shouting at hotels stayed with me.

Politicians encouraging this need to be held responsible.
Can't help but be reminded of how author Jonathan Miller schooled Enoch Powell on same.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cv... what these figures don’t take into account is the flow of private schools children who move for 6th form purely to submit their ucas a levels from a state school, with present admission guidelines.
A-level results: Boys outperform girls for top grades for first time since 2018
Hundreds of thousands of students are receiving A-level, T-level, BTec National and other Level 3 results in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

I find the whole thing repulsive, but focusing on one area (which is a result of many, I realise) the US and Isreal said they would ‘manage’ the food distribution because they didn’t trust the UN/independent bodies , and they’ve ended up shooting at crowds. There must be a better way

Seriously “Vance responded. “We are now in a place where we weren’t a week ago. A week ago, Iran was very close to having a nuclear weapon. Now Iran is incapable of building a nuclear weapon” correct - we aren’t in a place we were. Wrong - Iran is still capable www.ft.com/content/0808... 50%!!
Early intelligence suggests Iran’s uranium largely intact, European officials say
Preliminary assessments indicate Tehran was able to move much of its stockpile

That just divides the desert from the sown…
Where name of slave and king scarce is known,
And all pity the king on their throne.

So when Zelenskyy stands up and defend himself, he’s starting a 3rd world war. When Israel ‘defends’ itself!! The US don’t blink.
