"Poland’s capital is now rated above cities like San Francisco and Copenhagen for its #vegan options. We sample plant-based schnitzel, ramen and, of course, pierogi."

TIL of the Whisky War, a decades long land dispute on Hans Island between Canada and Denmark. Canada would plant a flag and leave a bottle of whisky, then Denmark would plant theirs and leave a bottle of schnapps. They split the island in 2022, creating a land border between Canada and Denmark.

Der Euro ist nicht nur eine Währung, sondern ein Kitt. Bulgarien hat sich mit dem Euro dauerhaft für Europa, die EU und den Binnenmarkt entschieden.

For security and stability, many modern societies seem to be happy to give up their hard-earned freedom and rights.
Just finished Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.
One quote struck me, as is more relevant today than it was at the film's release:
In order to ensure our security and continuing stability, the Republic will be reorganized into the first Galactic
Empire, for a safe and secure society which I assure you will last for ten thousand years. (Palpatine)
With the Senate's applause, the Republic turned into an authoritarian regime.
4/12 films (re-)watched.
I think Episode III is still my favourite film of the prequel trilogy, but will see if I still feel the same after my rewatching it for the first time in years.
But I must admit, I'm not too fond of animated films, which might also play a role. Obi Wan was great in the film, though.👌
After watching Star Wars: The Clone Wars (the only Star Wars film I haven't seen yet), I conclude that I like the TV series of the same name much more.
But I realised that Anakin already uses the same lightsaber as he does as Darth Vader (but the blade will be in a different colour).

TIL despite its strong following thanks to the popularity of Back to the Future, the DMC DeLorean has a reputation for poor build quality and an unsatisfactory driving experience. In 2017, Time magazine included the DeLorean in its list of the 50 worst cars of all time.
