It does not happen every day that you get to see a book from 1464 (and get to touch it). Today I had the pleasure to see the insides of the archives of the Bavarian State (Germany) after having worked with archivists for the past months on data driven archiving.
Our next workshop with archivists from all over Germany and a group of data science students starts tomorrow.
After Hitler’s rise to power in 1933, some German Americans formed groups to support the Nazi party in Germany and attempt to influence American politics.
The most notorious of these groups was
the 🔸German-American Bund🔸, which tried to model itself as an American arm of Hitler’s Third Reich.
Although these groups wore uniforms and touted swastikas, in reality, they had few ties to Nazi Germany and their support among the larger German-American community was minimal.

Germany recalls ambassador to Russia over cyberattacks https://therecord.media/germany-recalls-russian-ambassador-cyberattack
Incel CS lecturer at Waterloo
"it is well-known that many Iranian families who have immigrated to European countries, such as Germany and Sweden, have divorced or separated after a while"
So well-known that you can't cite a source for this?
Also, oddly specific example.
"This has happened because they are gradually modified by the culture, tradition, and conditions of the new country; therefore, they cannot continue their previous life together."
Are you mad that women forced into an arranged marriage in an authoritarian country then want a divorce after moving somewhere that they have rights? Really weird topic.

Middle-income earners are now 20% poorer than their peers in Germany. Real wages are not forecast to recover to their 2008 level until 2028 meaning that UK workers are now on course to have endured twenty years of declining living standards"

“Without a clear understanding of anti-Muslim hate and discrimination in Germany and strong data on incidents and community outreach, a response by the German authorities will be ineffective.”
