Three Humble Thoughts

1.  Last night, if you watched ARD (late) or PRO-7 (prime-time).....you got a heavy dose of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and laid out on a highly critical form.

The segments on after the PRO-7 show.....went directly at Tic-Tok....also in a negative way.  

So the question came up in my mind....how many Germans participate in some form of social media.  Answer....as of early 2023....around 85-percent of Germans do 'something' on social media.  The bulk of the population use WhatsApp, which I don't consider a big 'threat'.  As for Tik-Tok users and accounts in Germany?  Around 20-million.  

2.  The Linke Party existence in the Bundestag....officially ends today.  Employees of the national level party....are terminated, and assets to be 'sold'.  

End of an era.

3.  All 'hell' broke loose this AM at a school in Berlin (Gropiusstadt area of Neukolln neighborhood).

What the cops say is that five young lads (age 14/15)....got into scuffle.....teachers got involved, then other kids got into it, then the cops arrived and got into the middle.  

Someone, either one of the kids or the cops, then brought out pepper-spray.

What this was about?  Unknown. 

These juvenile fights?  They used to be just a one-on-one situation, and it seems lately....gang-versus-gang.
