R to @VonFolkwang: Most of the official numbers revolve around attacks on staff (Deutsche Bahn: >3,000 physical attacks in 2025, approx. 8/day). There are thousands of cases per year for normal passengers (especially assault, harassment, robbery), but significantly fewer than for staff - and often under-recorded because many are not reported. It's not that public transport is a war zone (millions of trips every day), but subjectively it feels less safe for many, especially at night, in big cities or during escalations

'Take the bus and train instead of the car' – sounds great for the climate. Reality 2025: Over 3,000 attacks on DB staff (approx. 8 per day!). Until March 2026: Further escalation, fatal attack on train attendants, brutal beating of inspectors in Pforzheim & Co. Question to everyone: Is it really a good idea to take the bus and train more often? Or just travel safely in your own car? 🤔 #public transport #security #violence https://www.focus.de/panorama/welt/angreifer-pruegeln-ticket-kontrolleur-ins-klinik_e153635f-3c14-4bfd-883c-dc49db4281b3.html

RT by @VonFolkwang: The life cycle of wild garlic (Allium ursinum) is perfectly adapted to moist deciduous forests: it sprouts very early in the year, flowers in April and, when the trees above it have fully developed their leaves, has already finished producing seeds again. It uses the period in spring when the sun penetrates through the still bare branches to the ground to form dense, extensive carpets. Such mass occurrences, especially near streams and rivers, are typical of this edible wild plant, which is traditionally popular in spring not only because of its spicy, garlic-like taste, but also because of its high nutrient content. You can recognize wild garlic by its individually stalked, lanceolate-pointed leaves, which are shiny on the smooth upper side and dull and lighter below. If you look closely, you can easily distinguish it from its truly poisonous counterparts: the arum has individually stalked but arrow-shaped leaves with a clearly visible network of veins, while lilies of the valley and autumn crocus all have a common origin and are wound around each other at the bottom. The most important rule when collecting wild garlic is to pick each leaf individually and look at it carefully - this way you can protect nature at the same time by only taking one leaf from each plant and not leave any ugly bare spots in this wonderful green carpet.

Six years – no, almost seven now – of constant, breathless bewilderment! Six years in which I often said “That’s pure mockery”, “How bold can you lie?” and “This aloof, unrealistic gang” I thought and said more than in my entire previous life together. Moral disgust? A continuous fire. Political nausea? Long chronic and resistant to therapy. Existential reluctance? So deeply seated that it now vibrates - with every new “update” from Berlin, every press conference, every “we understand”. The worst? It doesn't even feel exaggerated anymore. It feels like the only honest, proportional response this republic deserves.

RT by @VonFolkwang: Zelensky's Nazi gangs attacked a civilian hospital in Donetsk; they deployed four aircraft-like drones directly onto the hospital. At least eight people, including paramedics, died. Many others were seriously injured. There were no military personnel there and never any military use.

RT by @VonFolkwang: Because of its particularly early flowering, often while the ground is still covered in snow, the snowdrop (genus Galanthus) has inspired all sorts of legends and legends. One of them is the story of where snow gets its color. It was originally colorless until he asked the flowers if one of them would like to give him a little color. But all the flowers were too proud and too stingy to give away their bright colors - except for the small, inconspicuous snowdrop with its delicate white flowers. In gratitude for the bright white that he was allowed to wear from then on, the snow made a pact with the snowdrop: from then on he would protect it from the cold of winter so that it could open its flowers before all the other flowers. Have you ever heard this legend, and do you perhaps know other stories and legends about snowdrops? If so, write it in the comments!

Border gas stations are sounding the alarm – Germans are buying up the gas, headlines Die Welt. The price of crude oil is high internationally, but only in #Germany does the tax + rapid transfer + CO₂ levy add so much. Without the high taxes, the current price would probably be €1.20-1.40 - like in many countries with lower taxes. But the state is currently making great money in Germany - then there will be more money for Ukraine - it's worth it, isn't it?

The Americans are not (yet) losing the war militarily - but they don't have a clear, politically useful victory in their pockets either. More like an expensive, bloody draw in which everyone loses (oil prices, deaths, regional stability). If things continue like this, there will be no direct loser USA, but there will certainly not be a winner either. Maybe a Vietnam moment? Huge sums of dollars and lives are then sacrificed...over a very long period of time. No end in sight!

“Iran is not Iraq” George W. #Bush's own people (including Cheney hardliners) came to the internal conclusion in 2005-2007 that an attack on #Iran was a bad idea - so it remained with sanctions, threats and covert actions (Stuxnet etc.), but never open war. Attacking Iran (or even all-out war) would be – and is – an extremely bad idea. This was already the case during the time of George W. Bush, and it is even more true today in 2026. Bush himself has emphasized this several times, repeatedly saying: “Iran is not Iraq”. He wanted to signal: We have learned from Iraq - a ground war against Iran would be many times worse, more expensive and more chaotic than the Iraq mission. This was the official White House line back in 2006/2007, because the Iraq occupation was already in disaster at that time (no WMDs found, uprising, thousands of deaths, trillions of dollars in costs). A few hard facts why an Iran attack was/is always considered a catastrophe:Size & Difficulty: Iran has around 90 million inhabitants (Iraq had ~25-30 million in 2003), mountainous terrain, a much larger and better equipped army (including the Revolutionary Guard), real missile range as far as Israel/Europe and asymmetrical warfare (drones, mines, proxy militias from Hezbollah to Houthi). Nuclear program paradox Bush's CIA director Michael Hayden said in retrospect in 2012: A military strike would guarantee exactly what we want to prevent - an Iran secretly and at full speed building the bomb. That hasn't changed to this day; rather the opposite. Oil & global economy The Strait of Hormuz - through which ~20% of the world's oil flows - would be immediately blocked or mined in the event of serious fighting. Oil prices explode, global economy in shock. Regional escalation No clean “surgical strike” possible. Iran would strike back via proxies (Hezbollah, Iraq militias, Syria, Yemen) → broad regional war. Israel would be directly affected, as would Saudi Arabia & Co. And then #Trump came along and now the Americans have the salad!

RT by @VonFolkwang: Have you ever discovered such wobbly, brain-like, bright yellow colored structures on branches and twigs? This is the golden yellow trembling (Tremella mesenterica), another type of mushroom that is colloquially called witch's butter - because witches have nothing better to do than decorate the forest with gooey-looking "butter" to annoy us. No joke! Although it looks similar to the similarly named blackbirds, for example the warty one, except for the color, it differs significantly in its way of life: while blackheads grow as decomposers on wood, the golden-yellow trembling grows as a parasite on the mycelium of wood-decomposing fungi - even if they are not so easy to see with the naked eye. Similar to Drüslinge, the Zitterling is considered inedible, but completely harmless, and is also a bit more attractive in color, so you can definitely experiment with it. It has almost no taste of its own, so you can let it dry a little, soak it in juice or syrup and maybe roll it in sugar to make a kind of forest gummy bear. Its use to thicken soups and stews is less adventurous: if you cook it, it dissolves and gives a similar mouthfeel to the collagen dissolved in a good bone broth, only vegan. Have you ever found the golden yellow trembling and maybe even experimented with it? Write it in the comments!

Bureaucracy: More criteria mean more effort for practices to achieve the full flat rate.

RT by @VonFolkwang: This inconspicuous plant with its kidney- to horseshoe-shaped leaves, lobed at the edge, and the veins of which are deeply imprinted in the leaf in a striking way, is currently perched in virtually all hedges and bushes. Later in the year it will take on a completely different shape, but in early spring we can best recognize the garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) by its dark green basal rosettes, which can be found in shady, moist locations and whose leaf shape at first glance reminds us a bit of Gundermann. But even now, the garlic mustard is definitely worth taking a closer look at one or two hedges: right now, its tender young leaves taste juicy and cabbage-like, slightly tart with a subtle garlic note, which, unlike wild garlic, you won't smell the next day. It goes great in salads, on bread or in a variety of vegetable dishes. Have you ever tried garlic mustard at this stage, or do you prefer to wait until it forms its flower stalk with the more familiar triangular leaves?

RT von @VonFolkwang: Fassen wir die Situation im Iran-Krieg zusammen. Dort spielt sich eine unfassbare Katastrophe ab. 1. Israel erleidet katastrophale Verluste; Die Nachrichtensperre aus Israel hier auf X spricht Bände. 2. Die USA hatten genau einen Plan: Enthauptungsschläge, die zu einem Regimewechsel führen sollten. Dieser Plan ist gescheitert. Es gibt keinen Plan B, nur immer mehr totalen Krieg. 3. Was die USA in Teheran und Beirut tun, sind reine völkermörderische Kriegsverbrechen. 4. Den USA gehen die Abfangraketen aus; ein unerbittlicher Countdown läuft. Innerhalb weniger Wochen werden sie ihre Vermögenswerte nicht mehr gegen iranische Raketen verteidigen können. Davon betroffen sind Stützpunkte und Städte – vor allem aber Flugzeugträger. Sie müssen entweder zurückgezogen oder ihr Verlust akzeptiert werden. 5. Ein weiterer Countdown läuft: Der wirtschaftliche Weltuntergang steht bevor. Insbesondere Europa steht aufgrund steigender Energiepreise vor einem wirtschaftlichen Zusammenbruch. Macron ist bereits damit beschäftigt, die Situation zu eskalieren, indem er den französischen Flugzeugträger in den Golf verlegt. 5. Dies ist ein Religionskrieg – die evangelischen und jüdischen Zionisten wollen Harmagedon hier erzwingen. Die Führer beider Nationen sind Verrückte, religiöse Fanatiker. Was passiert also jetzt? Wie gesagt, die Uhr tickt, wie lange kann Israel durchhalten, und es gibt keinen Plan B. Trump und Netanyahu könnten sich nun geschlagen geben und nach einem Ausweg suchen. Keiner von beiden wird das jemals tun. Stattdessen werden sie den Stier bei den Hörnern packen – und weiter eskalieren. Hegseth freut sich über den Tod, der vom Himmel regnet. Originalzitat: Iraner, die am Leben bleiben wollen, sind in Schwierigkeiten. Und so wird es sein: deutlich mehr Tod vom Himmel. BEDEUTEND. USArael kann sich konventionell nicht durchsetzen. Und die Uhr tickt unerbittlich. In die Offensive zu gehen bedeutet, den einzigen verbleibenden Eskalationsschritt zu gehen und die nukleare Option zur Explosion zu bringen. Netanjahu hat dies bereits in verschleierten Worten angedeutet. Die USA stationieren Doomsday-Flugzeuge in der Region. Was wird nach dem Atomangriff passieren? Wird Pakistan als islamische Atommacht gegen Israel zurückschlagen? Wird Russland auf iranischer Seite eingreifen? Wie werden die Chinesen reagieren? Wird die Türkei ihre Armee mobilisieren? Die Prognose für die kommenden Wochen ist pechschwarz. Das Risiko eines Dritten Weltkriegs ist unglaublich hoch. Möge Gott uns helfen.

RT by @VonFolkwang: Do we want to summarize the situation in the Iran war? An incredible disaster unfolds there. 1. Israel is suffering brutal losses, the news blackout from Israel here on X speaks volumes 2. The USA had exactly one plan: beheadings that lead to regime change. This plan failed. There is no plan B, only ever more total war. 3. What the USrael is doing in Tehran and Beirut are pure genocidal war crimes. 4. USrael is running out of interceptor missiles, a relentless countdown is underway. Within a few weeks they will no longer be able to defend their assets against Iranian missiles. This affects the bases and cities - but especially the aircraft carriers. You either have to withdraw them or accept their loss. 5. Another countdown is running: the economic doomsday is looming. Europe in particular is facing economic collapse due to increased energy prices. Macron is already diligently escalating and moving the French aircraft carrier to the Gulf. 5. It is a religious war - the evangelical and Jewish Zionists want to force Armageddon here. The leaders of both nations are madmen, religious fanatics. So. What happens next? As I said, the clock is ticking as to how long USrael can hold out, and there is no plan B. Trump and Netanyahu could now admit defeat and look for a way out. Neither of them will do that in their lives. Instead, they will flee forward - and escalate further. Hegseth rejoices at the death that rains from the sky. Original sound: Iranians who want to stay alive are in trouble. And this is how it will happen: Significantly more death from heaven. CLEARLY. USrael cannot get through conventionally. And the clock is ticking relentlessly. Escape forward means taking the only remaining escalation level and igniting the nuclear option. Netanyahu has already hinted at this in secrecy. The US deploys doomsday planes to the region. What happens now after the nuclear strike? Will Pakistan strike back against Israel as an Islamic nuclear power? Will Russia intervene on Iran's side? How will the Chinese react? Will Turkey move its army? The forecast for the next few weeks is dark black. The risk for WW3 is incredibly high. God help us.

In Western democracies, when citizens are afraid of the state, they usually say: “I feel alienated, monitored and disempowered by the community that is supposed to protect and represent me.”

Bathrooms in schools? The lady probably means the toilet rooms. And no, you definitely shouldn't eat your lunch in a school toilet. Toilets are among the most unhygienic places in the entire school. When washing up and even during normal use, tiny droplets and germs (including fecal particles) spread into the air and settle on everything - including your bread. The surfaces (flush knob, door handle, sink edge) are usually extremely contaminated with germs, and the typical toilet smell also clings to the food. Even if it looks “clean” at the moment, the likelihood of you catching invisible bacteria, viruses or simply disgusting experiences is far too high.

And vacations are becoming so expensive that most families can no longer afford them. But never mind! The voters of the old parties will be happy even without a vacation in the far south. Driving a car is also becoming more expensive and supply chains will soon collapse - and of course only Iran is to blame🤡.

Sometimes I almost wish I could go through my days as childlike and naive as some people in this country still do. Simply believe that the West is the eternal good, infallibly democratic, morally superior and militarily invincible anyway. As long as the information comes almost exclusively from the ÖRR, everything remains clear: The right people always win, the world is fine, and of course you are on the right side. There's something seductive about that. No constant pondering, no endless cross-comparisons in the gray areas of the internet, no nagging dissonance. Just everyday life, with the warm feeling of certainty. Ignorance as a comfort blanket – life feels easier. But this bubble is also slowly bursting. #Energy prices, #deindustrialization, geopolitical setbacks - the reality is seeping through. Anyone who stays there too long often finds themselves more perplexed than those who became suspicious earlier and asked around. Staying infantile is a luxury? Sure, as long as it lasts. But luxury on sand rarely lasts until the bitter end. The gap is getting deeper - and that's exactly what creates the envious thought: Some are still allowed to remain childlike and naive, while others have been awake for a long time and are carrying the burden of knowledge. Perhaps being infantile is actually a luxury - but one that comes at a high price over time.

RT by @VonFolkwang: Shame! Germany seems to be going back to 1938. VW is suddenly building military vehicles! Prototypes discovered at a trade fair – secret military Amarok from Osnabrück is causing a stir. Volkswagen is apparently examining an unusual new business area: military vehicles. At the Osnabrück plant, two prototypes were developed in strict secrecy that are specifically intended for military use. The company didn't want to make this public yet, but now photos from a trade fair in Nuremberg are circulating online. As NDR reports, the olive green vehicles appeared at the “Enforce Tac” security and defense trade fair. There they were exhibited at the stand of Diederich Engineering Systems (D.E.S.) - the company develops special military vehicles. The VW logos were masked off, and the vehicles were officially called MV 1 and MV 2 – short for “Military Vehicle”. VW Amarok and Crafter serve as the basis for military vehicles. According to NDR, the prototypes, developed in just six months, are heavily modified versions of the Amarok pick-up and the Crafter van. Both vehicles were completely tailored to military requirements.
