Lichens indicate airquality and climateconditions. I found the #species below in #Jungfernheide #forest #Berlin. While #Parmelia #sulcata requires light, but is flexible, #Hypotrachyna #afrorevoluta needs warm, nitrogen-poor #environments and clean air. The latter is rareer in #Germany, but spreading eastward based on #globalwarming. D. Masson (2004) found it on #treetrunks and #branches.

Did you know Epstein's name & ancestors come from a town in #Germany?

It's even called Eppstein!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epstein

They even had "nobles" - the Lords of Eppstein.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lords_of…

Wonder if they were also pedos? But I guess back then it was a common thing for nobles to be...

Just some of that #Epstein- #Etymology - #Trivia 🤷

... und wann begreifen die #CDU Wähler dass die #Union nix für Arbeitnehmer übrig hat???

P.s. erst wird Care Arbeit als Luxusfreizeit benannt und nun streicht man die Krankenversicherung dieser Frauen - Arbeitsanreiz 🤮

Aber wählt ruhig weiter das zweit übelste für Euch.

.... und zur SPD fällt mir nur ein, ihr verkauft gerade Eure Seele - so kommt ihr nicht aus Eurem Tief raus.

*War Not Just In The Middle East—The War(s) That the Mainstream Media Ignore(s)* *

(9/n)

... of vital infrastructure of a #NATO ally, #Germany, is a huge deal!👈

So, what is the likelihood of, you guessed it, the #CIA having sent the wrong signals to #Kyiv and having belatedly voiced opposition to the attack?
No further questions, Your Honor, I dare say.

The new findings about the #NordStream terrorist attack were recently reported in several media 8). And let us be...

This not #Warsaw, #Stallingrad, or #Berlin in 1944. This is #Gaza city in 2026.

The #Nazis didn't do this.
The #SovietUnion didn't do this.
#Iran didn't do this.

#America funded this.
#Germany profit from this.
The #EU is afraid to challenge this.

No country in the world is prepared to stop this.
Only people can make a difference.

It is not anti-semitic to fight #Israeli #WarCrimes.

Fight for these people because no one else will.

They are worth it.

Dear #America and #Germany, thank you so much for unwavering support for #Palestine.

We will never forget what you have done.

Thank you for your billions of dollars a year.
Your endless supply of weapons.
Your training of our military.
Your free health care.
Your nuclear power and weapons.

We wouldn't be here without you.

Love Palestine.

Chancellor Friedrich #Merz said Tuesday that he shares many of the aims of the #US - #Israel campaign against #Iran, but “more questions arise with every day of war.”

“Above all we’re concerned that there is apparently no joint plan for how this #war can be brought quickly to a convincing end,” Merz said.

He stressed that “#Germany & #Europe have no interest in an endless war” or in Iran’s territorial integrity disintegrating.

RE: mastodon.social/@madeindex/113…

Germany's government (among many others)* continues working hard on their surveillance state.

They want that #Palantir everywhere¹ & in anything (except their own space, obviously for "safety reasons"), and they keep expanding the #AI mass #surveillance, now even to their capital².

It's just funny to watch these absolute hypocrites, proof they have 0 principles, while talking about how liberal their country is.

German police expands use of Palantir surveillance software

Police and spy agencies are keen to combat criminality and terrorism with artificial intelligence. But critics say the CIA-funded Palantir surveillance software enables "predictive policing."

Don’t know much about him outside this article but something tells me we’d get along :)

“At a time when most representatives of the German government still maintained good relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Özdemir was a vehement critic of the Kremlin leader.
…
Time and again, Özdemir spoke out publicly against Turkey's leader President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the ruler of the country from which his parents came.“
