Still, there is something about this. I mean just look at the entire book of Struvvelpeter.

Some German dudes are just that fucked up and the rest of German is like... actually.. yeah that's our culture now!

I enjoy a joke about fucked up German fairy tales as much as the next nerd, but it's genuinely striking how often the source for the really fucked up stuff turns out to be "yeah, this is only in the Brothers Grimm version and doesn't appear in any extant oral tradition, and we're like 80% sure they added it themselves". To a large extent it's not German fairy tales that are fucked up, it's two specific German dudes.

it feels like several countries (not just the US) have completely abandoned the idea of less carbon emissions this month. Is there any good news from this month about countries choosing the opposite?

You caught me at a good time, I actually just finished reading a newsletter (from the excellent Fix the News) that mentions a few.

From their newsletter, February 27, 2025 (heads up these might only be in the premium edition, though):

"Germany, once a notorious polluter, cracks down on cars and achieves clean air. Germany complies with all EU air pollutant limits for first time since standards were set in 2010, with nitrogen dioxide finally joining particulate matter in meeting thresholds across 600 monitoring stations nationwide. Even Munich's infamous pollution hotspot dropped below the 40 μg/m³ limit following years of court battles that triggered speed reductions and vehicle modernization." Heise

"Japan raises emissions targets, aims for 60% cut by 2035. Japan has pledged to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 60% from 2013 levels within the next decade, aligning with the 1.5°C global goal and a net zero target by 2050, according to government officials. Japan plans to reduce fossil fuel use by 30-40% by 2040, with renewables like solar and wind expected to provide 40-50% of electricity. The plan marks meaningful progress for the country, which relied on fossil fuels for 70% of its power in 2023." The Press

And there's a lot happening in the US too, believe it or not:

"US states hit the ground running on renewables. Wind and solar are expected to meet nearly 50% of power demand in Texas this spring, in Minnesota the state’s largest utility just announced plans to reach carbon-free targets by 2035, and 48 days into 2025, fossil gas use for electricity in California is down almost 28%, while battery use is up 78%."

Presented for your consideration: a manuscript collection of texts of hymns (written in Germany at the end of the 15th c.) and prayers bound with slightly later printed pastoral works appropriate for a priest (printed in Augsburg in 1519). Not unusual to see such hybrid books in the 15th and 16th centuries, but always interesting. (Ms. Codex 1604)

Eine Blume auf dem Weg.

I asked my soul to erase from my being those moments of uncertainty when even the sky seemed to darken, that I was so sad, but when I met that beautiful girl I began to feel that I would get used to her love, because I sensed that her joy was waiting patiently until I could see the reflection of my smile through her eyes that looked at me with tenderness and although I remained impassive to love, I could hear her voice calling me to be in her arms, sometimes I am still afraid to wake up and feel like I am in a dream that stays with me and we are loving each other every night and day without caring about anything.
