This next session is open for anyone as long as you are aligned with FLINTA values. You don't need to be in the Haecksen or specifically FLINTA yourself. We will be talking about burp suite basics. Burp suite is a tool for website analysis. No previous knowledge needed! Just some curiosity

WTF, someone explain how this isn’t Stasi revisited please

Putin hasst die EU. Trump hasst die EU. Elon Musk hasst die EU. So schlecht kann die EU doch nicht sein.

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it. So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

So what's the outcome? 2️⃣5️⃣ of the 27 Commissioners have posted in the last week 2️⃣4️⃣ of the 27 generally post every week (Albuquerque has never been on X, Ribera is sporadic, McGrath has somehow stopped) 0️⃣ have stopped as a result of what Twitter has become since the Musk takeover

Post a banger that's not in English youtu.be/tbaYOIQF68s?...

Busy afternoon of cooking: ✅ homemade oatmeal choc chip cookies for last Deutschkurs ✅ Chicken + bean chili for dinner and leftovers

Zu dem heutigen Spiel kann ich nur Folgendes sagen: Ich hoffe, dass Naika, Tomke und Cara nach den Weihnachtsferien wieder gesund sind. 🥹 #fcufrauen #fcunion

Go get em, Chef Fischer 🫡 #immerunioner

without birthright citizenship in the united states, you don't have a democracy and you don't have rule of law. revoking birthright citizenship gives fascists free rein to purge the country of literally anyone they don't like. it opens the door to atrocities and mass murder. i am not exaggerating.

They built the camps, now they are setting up the legal farce they will use to fill them. Without birthright citizenship absolutely no one is safe. This is an attack on the very core of what it means to be American.

Berlin/Potsdam Weihnachtsmärkte Zeugnis 2025: Gendarmenmarkt 👎🏼 💸 💸 Rotes Rathaus 👍🏼 Potsdam Babelsberg 👍🏼 Potsdam Blaues Licht 👎🏼

Ich war heute in der S-Bahn. Eine Familie von Hertha-Fans erzählte ihrem Bekannten, dass sie mit dem Zug nach Wolfsburg fahren würden, um Wolfsburg anzufeuern. WTF.

*quiet voice* The viral video with the Norwegian chef… was making melts, not grilled cheese sandwiches… 🫣

Watching the Abandons and loving seeing Lena Heady and Gillian Anderson face off 🤜🏻🤛🏻

I used democracy.io to write to my Senators and Representative to fight S.3283, the Exclusive Citizenship Act that could strip citizens living abroad of their citizenship for having another. My fellow Americans, please do the same.

Could they kiss Trump‘s ass any harder? #FIFA

Yup. Muting the hashtag NOW.

„The voluntary acquisition of a foreign citizenship after enactment would trigger immediate loss of U.S. citizenship.“ Okay go ahead. Good luck collecting your 2k renunciation fee.

On December 1, 2025, Senator Bernie Moreno (R-OH) introduced the Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025. The bill would prohibit any person from simultaneously holding U.S. citizenship and citizenship of another country.

Tell me you’re not eligible to be the candidate

For anybody who lives in the southwest corner of Berlin, Goerzwerk has a small Niklaus and Krampus event on Saturday from 12-19:00.

More lunchtime #ROUVY riding This time, in Switzerland 🇨🇭

If anyone cares at all, EV battery recycling is now hitting 99% recovery for important metals Please remind me again what the recycle rate for fossil fuels is interestingengineering.com/energy/recyc...

This, in a nutshell. Unsure of who created for credit, but it’s spot on.

and there goes cloudfront again

Holy moly, do people still think the U.S. is an ally of Europe? It is now an officially stated foreign policy goal to undermine the EU and centrist European governments that don't ideologically align with MAGA.

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the constitution is actually just one big paper bag test

Schmutzwortsuche [SHMOOTZ-vohrt-ZOOCH-eh] (v.) - Looking up naughty words in the dictionary. Used in a sentence: "Low-key schmutzwortsuche, scrolling through the OED Online, is my favorite way to get through these dull lectures.”

WTF, Die Linke. I was 90% on board aside from Ukraine stance. But this? This is 🚮

A reminder that Meta is a really crap company and there are better alternatives (signal for one). I really don’t understand the insistence in Germany to rely upon WhatsApp.

Well I guess this makes it an easy decision for me

Absolut starkes Spiel. Ohne die Eigentore hätten die Bayern keine Chance gehabt. 🙃 #FCUfcb

Danke DFB Pokal, dass ihr das Spiel FC Union gegen Bayern nach dem Deutschkurs angesetzt habt. 😂 EISERN! UNION! ❤️‍🔥 #fcunion #unveu

✅ Another workout Wednesday in the books The bad part about #ROUVY: I have hundred more places I want to go on vacation, and still only the same amount of time

PS: it’s worse than you think

Investigative report “Ausgeliefert!” (Delivered!) on the exploitation of South Asians on ARD: www.ardmediathek.de/film/ausgeli... #DirectHiringRequirements for delivery services NOW!

True story: I had my husband stop the car so I could take a picture of this sign the first time I saw it. Then the family chat (w/American family) also got pretty lively 😂

Anyone have any tips on trying to find Brandenburg locations to take the Einbürgerungstest? By time I finished fighting with the VHS website in Potsdam today, the spots had all filled up 😭 I've looked at the Brandenburg VHS and it seems almost none of them have dates posted, and others booked.

A few corrections to this post because it made me wonder: archive.ph/zK61h

Today, celebrating the day of launch of the project that I spent the last year on, I just found out that I’m going to be a team lead in the new year. I get to hire a person for said team. I rather enjoy working for a place that actually recognizes my efforts and listens to recommendations. 🧡

The Berlin Senate is trying to close the loophole that allows landlords to charge extortionate rents. Wunderflats is encouraging its users to petition against it. Their version of the facts is... creative.

Der Winter Erkältung hat sich auf meinem Gesicht niedergelassen.

Very weird spammy things happening on Bluesky today and I don’t like it

@petegreenberg.bsky.social is the hero of the day. I wasn’t sure I would get my Goodness record with the whole tariff debacle, but it came today, along with stickers and a 7” I didn’t expect. Such a warm balm from my former home on a cold winter day. ❤️‍🔥

This year we're doing Whamutopia. Every time you hear Last Christmas you have to have a mulled wine at your earliest convenience and toast George Michael, because he was a lad
