Unsere Tochter war dieses Jahr im Frühjahr zum Schüleraustausch 10 Tage in #Paris. An einem privaten Gymnasium. Nachdem was sie berichtet hat und auch das Austauschmädchen danach über unser Gymnasium in Wien, kann ich die Proteste der Schüler in ihrem Anliegen - nicht in ihrer Form - voll und ganz verstehen. Unsere Tochter war entsetzt über den Zustand der Schule. Toiletten schlimmer als an einem Bahnhofsklo. 40+ Schüler in einer Klasse. Ausstattung veraltet und kaputt. Schulessen ungenießbar. All das hat nichts mit Migration zu tun, sondern mit einem kaputt gesparten Bildungssystem. Und diese Aussagen bezogen sich auf ein privates Gymnasium. Ich mag mir gar nicht vorstellen, wie es an öffentlichen Hauptschulen zugeht.

What’s happening in France is a wake-up call to the entire world. 🌍 The cost of living keeps rising while everyday people struggle to survive. People are tired of working hard just to barely get by. Governments need to start listening to the people before frustration turns into chaos. 💯🙏🏽

“…rioters vandalized 1,500 shops and many symbols of the French state, leading to 2,000 arrests. An arson attack largely destroyed the town hall in Limoges.

Now that I've seen "You Can See Everything," my Twitter feed will probably just be quotes and reshares about the movie for the rest of the weekend. Starting with this: It has "has rewritten the rules of documentaries as we know them." cnn.com/2026/10/16/entertain…

At times it feels like we’re living inside of a Shakespearean play or the play-within-a-play. The Mousetrap… “Tis a knavish piece of work, but what o' that ? Your majesty and we that have free souls, it touches us not. Let the galled jade wince, our withers are unwrung.” ~ Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 2

Did you forget that Putin is the one that started this war and could end it today by pulling his troops out. Did you forget that Zelensky won a free election in 2019 or that Putin has ruled since 1999 and jailed his main rival (Navalny whom he poisoned), or that he rewrote the constitution to stay in power until 2036. If someone needs to go, ask who invaded, and who's actually the one afraid of an election.
