I just learned Germany considers journalists "systemically relevant" during the #COVID19 pandemic, entitling them to free emergency childcare. Meanwhile, back home, the US president considers journalists the "enemy of the people."

« It’s similar to the US, where you had the Republican Party and some elements playing footsie with the Capitol rioters. There will be questions about links between political parties and those involved in the plots. » @LenoraChu #Germancoup @csmonitor csmonitor.com/World/Europe/2…

German Twitter in full schadenfreude after Zelenskyy's scathing address to Germany's parliament this morning in which he essentially accused those assembled of being complicit bystanders to Russia's war through their Russian business ties, indecision, & lack of leadership.

The end of an era. My favorite gathering place in Shanghai with so many memories of my time there. Michelle built one of the best bars and restaurants in the world with a view that never failed to take your breath away. Wish I were in Shanghai to celebrate...

China’s efforts to stave off the effects of a greying population are having far reaching effects on the economy & inward investment. Will they work? And what happens if they don’t? We ask @csmonitor & @uwsmph to share their perspective at #ReutersNEXT! bit.ly/3DIHNhZ

Read this awesome piece by @LenoraChu on the German chancellor's legacy. I have to say I'll miss Merkel. Even though I don't live in Europe anymore, I still look to her - most recently feeling more at ease since she too did #mixandmatch with her vaccines! csmonitor.com/World/Europe/2…

“Berlin is a city where I’ve gotten into taxis and said, ‘Take me to Deutsche Oper,’ and the driver launches a discussion about ‘Don Giovanni’...Music is baked into society here in a way I haven’t experienced in America.” via @csmonitor @lenorachu csmonitor.com/World/Europe/2…
