[LFC Official] Klopp to leave Liverpool at the end of the season
  • What can you even say, Klopp is one of the greats and has done it all with LFC, of course he deserves to leave on his own terms.

    It’ll be interesting to see how things work out without him and who the club can bring in as a replacement. LFC were already on the up when he came to Liverpool but I don’t think they would’ve gotten over the line and won the league without him, so how long can they sustain their success after he’s gone?

    More than 100,000 protest across Germany over far-right AfD’s mass deportation meetings
  • With all the current negative articles about the political and economic situation in Germany, I think it's also important to remember to share the positive ones. Although that's not to say there aren't worrisome things going on here.

    There's another article from this morning here, it might give you a more complete picture of what's happening: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/21/germany-afd-party-deportation-masterplan-protests

    There are more protests happening across the country today, the one in Berlin is at 4 pm at Brandenburger Tor. See you there.

    www.rbb24.de Im Öffentlichen Nahverkehr ziehen ab Januar deutlich die Preise an

    Fahrgäste in Berlin und Brandenburg müssen im neuen Jahr erneut tiefer in die Tasche greifen. Nach nur acht Monaten erfolgt eine weitere Preiserhöhung im Öffentlichen Personen-Nahverkehr - nicht nur bei den Einzeltickets. Ein Überblick.

    Es war für mich eine traurige Überraschung, als die BVG heute 5 Euro mehr einnahm und ich in den Nachrichten nachsehen musste warum.

    www.theguardian.com Your next excuse is on platform 5 – German train travel has become an experience worthy of Kafka | Jens Schneider

    Erratic Deutsche Bahn services make our commutes a misery. Luckily, their meaningless announcements are an art form, says German journalist Jens Schneider

    > Erratic Deutsche Bahn services make our commutes a misery. Luckily, their meaningless announcements are an art form

    > My favourite excuse is an expression that might one day be emblematic of contemporary Germany. I hear Deutsche Bahn wants staff to stop using it, but it can’t banish it from our minds. Verzögerungen im Betriebsablauf – “operational delays” – is meaningful and meaningless in a way that only the German language allows. One day it might even become one of those golden words co-opted into the English language – like zeitgeist or schadenfreude. (Let’s retire Blitz, a word that is jaded and overused in sport, politics and beyond.)

    > Verzögerungen im Betriebsablauf is the magic phrase for not getting anywhere fast while also suggesting everything is full steam ahead. It is sinister in a beautiful way. It is a phrase Kafka might use if he were writing today, a perfect description of a situation where no one can do anything but everyone is busy.
