Angela Merkel...

A remarkable insight into a remarkable world leader...
To get 'a standing ovation across the country' after a 16-year term as leader suggests a highly respected, legendary role model... https://t.co/2Ho8Nvk7su

hubris...

HUBRIS - my word of the week.
1. Introduced 'hubris' to my Year 10 English students - beginning study of the play 'Frankenstein'...
2. Yesterday SMH referred to NSW premier's hubris...
3. Now 'hubris' connected with Europe and climate change.
Yes teenagers, it's a current word... https://t.co/IOy2yBc6WM pic.twitter.com/G9V00ONis7

"HUBRIS has been one of the defining features of Australia’s response to the pandemic, time and again over-estimating our capabilities and under-estimating the level of risk posed by the virus." https://t.co/zos4xOriJb

There she goes again: “other states have been in & out of lockdown”. Somehow NSW is better at the moment because despite the scale of this lockdown- 222 people in hospital, 200+cases daily, this will be our * only one. 🤷‍♀️#Hubris

Lodz was the Jewish ghetto in Poland...It is believed that thousands of people died in this ghetto...Exact numbers are elusive, because many records destroyed...Berlin to Lodz is a distance of 423 km, taking just over 8½ hours... 

a little fantasy, a little magic...

This stunning fantasy art is by Jonas Jödicke, aka JoJoe, a digital artist from Berlin, Germany. 'My paintings are known for their portrayal of majestic animals and magical sceneries, mixed with bold colours and spiritual themes - especially the interplay of Yin and Yang.' https://t.co/cwZiukfGb1

rabbit fences...

So Australia had the rabbit-proof fence, symbolizing the division between English culture and the Aboriginal world (film 2002) but is indeed a long fence to deter rabbits from crops + pasture in WA . Berlin had the real division between East and West, but rabbits were welcome. https://t.co/h1kDVeu3zM pic.twitter.com/4z0S4cuU1z
