Nobody cares about Germany

A typical Northern German comfort food: Labskaus. Scouse in Liverpool derived from it.

Some of my favourite Northern German foods are pizza, szechuan chicken and tortilla wraps with mango, arugula and goat cheese.

German magazine "Der Spiegel" reports that the administration of Iran planned the execution of Josef Schuster, the president of the central council of Jews in Germany and Volker Beck, the president of the German-Israel-Association.

The would be killer has Danish citizenship, but originates from Afghanistan and is named Ali S. He made his investigations and preparations in spring 2025, but was arrested during that.

Now he is put on trial before a court in Hamburg. The Iranian government denies any involvement.

You forgot Döner kebab.

You forgot Döner kebab.

While I like döner kebab, that's something I don't make myself (there's no shortage of good döner places where I live).

I occasionally make these, though:


Tastes great if you put it with some coleslaw between two bread roll halves.

I guess it's close enough and since I'm from Northern Germany, that makes it another "Northern German" food.

That butchery never has ground beef when I need it.

Germany lost the vote for a temporary seat in the UN Security Council. Instead Portugal and Austria gained one. It's the first time Germany missed out on a rotating seat.

Many do view Germany's unwavering support for Israel as main reason for that.

Also our former super idiotic foreign secretary Annalena Baerbock resigned after serving for one year as the president of the general assembly, which is normal.

Germany loses vote for UN Security Council seat

Fifteen of the 193 UN member states sit on the UN Security Council. Germany was in competition with Austria and Portugal for two seats in the "Western Europe and Others" group.
