Liebe ÖVP Wien, dieses Plakat ist letztklassig und alles andere als schlau. Sicher, Zuwanderer sollen Deutsch lernen. Aber zu implizieren, dass jeder, der eine bestimmte Sprache nicht spricht, weniger intelligent ist, zeugt eher von einem diesbezüglichen Mangel auf Seiten eurer Partei.

Bibliotherapy is the ancient practice of encouraging reading for therapeutic effect. Today, it takes many forms, from literature courses run for prison inmates to reading circles for elderly people suffering from dementia.
Can Reading Make You Happier?
After the First World War, traumatized soldiers were often prescribed a course of reading.

This is Christian Stocker and he's the new Austrian chancellor. He is part-responsible for preventing a far right nutcase from leading our government. But let's not forget, he's also been part-responsible for some of the worst political disasters of recent years.

Musk blames Ukrainians for cyberattack on X. Experts aren’t convinced.
