On this day in 1936, German troops marched into the Rhineland. This was celebrated by Hitler in his fig-leaf parliament inside the Krolloper, in one of the few times it would meet. Here’s my video on the Krolloper for (a lot) more: youtu.be/3RI3V_kzqWY?...

Look I’m as happy to catch up on curling once every 4 years as the next person, but 4 concurrent curling streams is just too much curling no offence to your national sport @downieseb.bsky.social 🥌👈
19.02.2026 09:37 — 👍 8 🔁 1 💬 3 📌 0Yesss! I’m excited. I’m tired of filming myself with freezing fingers, and to be honest I’ve been doing less of it 😅

I had to add the arrow because otherwise you’d just say to yourself “well, not that handsome man?” and not realise I’m talking about the building 👇

I was invited on @lbc.co.uk with Matthew Wright this morning to chat about the IOC’s baffling decision to sell t-shirts commemorating the 1936 Olympics.
I suggested it was weird to make, sell, buy, and wear them. Crazy, I know.
Wahey! You’ll smash it. If it’s the same as it was in 2018 you’ll have to really *want* to fail.
The only painful part is finding out it takes Germany several months to mark a multiple choice test that could be scanned by any modern phone. No surprise there though 😉
Frau and I enjoy a delivered pizza from time to time (more times than I'd like to admit) but after watching this, f that.
10.02.2026 10:27 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Well, the Wolts and Uber Eats of this world also ensure it 100% goes to the delivery person, but given that it's all run by shady intermediaries there's no way I'm taking that chance.

According to the DW piece, Lieferando is the "best" but doesn't make it near the standard of fair work.
I guess the solution is to use them rarely if at all, and tip generously and in cash.
Had no idea, but am not surprised, that the bicycle food delivery business completely stinks. If you order from Uber Eats, Wolt or the like, watch this so you're at least informed.

Talking Stasi with Stasi expert Stasi Steve 👇
According to one commenter, Keir Starmer's government is *exactly the same* as the Stasi. So, you know, there's that.
(in case it's not abundantly clear I do not endorse that viewpoint)
