342 years ago, on the 17th of September 1683, Dutch scientist Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek wrote about his observation of microbes to the Royal Society, which is the first known observation of bacteria in history. Van Leeuwenhoek referred to them as 'diertjes' (Dutch for 'small animals'). #otd #history 🗃️

The next wannabe governor from Florida was spared prison, had his record sealed, and got not one, but three chances at redemption. Now he’s pushing a D.C. crime bill that would deny those same chances to young adults in the District. That screams “opportunities for me, but not for thee.”

Merz treibt mal wieder eine neue Sau durchs Dorf: Die gesetzlich festgelegte 40h Woche solle auf 48h geändert werden.
Blöd nur, daß das Arbeitszeitgesetz auch jetzt schon keine 40 Stundenwoche kennt sondern nur die 48h als Höchstgrenze.
Alles andere ist in Tarifverträgen geregelt. Auch die 40h.
