Russia’s alleged Operation Overload shows that modern influence campaigns don’t need to change minds—they only need to erode trust. Fake videos, cloned media and coordinated networks can undermine confidence in elections and institutions. #Disinformation #Democracy www.dw.com/en/operation...

I miss you! Sad to see another valued colleague leave, but I’m grateful for the time we shared. Change is never easy, yet every ending can open a new door. He begins an exciting new chapter, and I’ll carry our friendship and memories with me. #NewBeginnings #Gratitude

The image shows a modern office workspace with white desks, several computer monitors, keyboards, cables and a black office chair. Large windows with horizontal blinds fill the back wall and overlook nearby office buildings. The room has white walls, dark carpeting and rectangular ceiling lights.

The day shift comes to an end. Time to recharge, reflect, and get ready for tomorrow. 💻☀️ #WorkLife #OfficeLife #Tech #IT #Productivity #Workday #MondayMotivation

The image captures a clean and modern workspace at the end of a workday. In the foreground, a black ergonomic keyboard dominates the frame, while a smartphone with its screen turned off rests on the white desk beside a closed silver laptop. A pair of black over-ear headphones lies across the laptop, suggesting that video meetings or focused work have just finished.

In the background, a monitor sits on a sleek silver stand, with a few cables running naturally across the desk, adding an authentic touch to the otherwise tidy setup. Soft daylight brightens the workspace, creating a calm and relaxed atmosphere.

The composition conveys the quiet moment when the day’s tasks are complete and the workspace is left behind until tomorrow. Rather than feeling staged, the desk appears genuinely used, reflecting the everyday environment of a modern IT professional or remote worker. Overall, the image symbolizes productivity, focus, and the transition from work mode to personal time.

One week back home, yet the map is already calling again. Maybe the best journeys don’t end when you return—they become the reason to leave once more. 🌍✈️ #Travel #Wanderlust

A cozy living room is bathed in soft natural daylight. At the center of the image, a white cylindrical Sonos speaker stands on a light wooden coffee table, immediately drawing the viewer’s attention. The tabletop is covered with a detailed road map, giving the impression of recent travels or plans for future adventures. Beside the speaker rests a pair of round metal-framed eyeglasses, adding a personal touch, as if someone has just paused to reflect or listen to music.

In the background, a vibrant patchwork armchair filled with colorful floral and geometric fabrics contrasts beautifully with a rustic red wooden cabinet. On top of the cabinet sit a vintage typewriter, a menorah, books, and decorative objects, creating an atmosphere that blends history, culture, and creativity. The warm color palette is complemented by an orange-red rug decorated with stylized blue and yellow animal motifs.

The shallow depth of field keeps the speaker in crisp focus while softly blurring the background, emphasizing the harmony between modern technology and a home filled with memories, character, and the quiet anticipation of future journeys.

@coe.int The EU already has a strategy for a renewed partnership with its southern neighbours. The real question is no longer what to do, but whether it’s working. If hope keeps turning into migration, reform can’t wait. Time is running out. #EU #Morocco #Migration #Reform

The illustration is a colorful editorial cartoon in the style of classic Belgian comics. It portrays Morocco and Europe as interconnected parts of the same global economy, arguing for reform rather than rejecting globalization.

At the center, a machine labeled “THE GLOBAL ECONOMY” is operated by a businessman while gold coins collect in a bag marked “Profits Concentrated at the Top,” symbolizing that growth is not shared equally.

On the left, Morocco is shown as “Rich in Potential, Poor in Opportunity.” Conveyor belts transport crates of phosphates, fruit, textiles, and skilled labor, while crowds move toward the coast and overloaded boats head for Ceuta. The message is that limited opportunities can drive migration.

On the right, Europe appears prosperous with modern cities, renewable energy, and stable families. Yet a Frontex officer guards the border beside a homeless man holding a sign reading “Hard work, still not enough.” A panel highlights housing shortages, rising living costs, inequality, climate pressures, and democratic challenges.

The center of the cartoon links these realities through an unequal economic system that produces poverty, risky migration, environmental damage, and concentrated wealth.

Instead of rejecting markets, the final scene calls for fair trade, fair wages, investment in education and infrastructure, legal migration pathways, sustainable growth, and stronger democratic cooperation.

The closing slogan, “ONE SYSTEM. SHARED FUTURE. LET’S MAKE IT WORK FOR ALL.”, presents the cartoon as a liberal appeal for a fairer globalization in which prosperity, opportunity, and responsibility are shared more equally between Morocco, Europe, and the wider world.

„Deutscher Pass“ – aber warum ist das für die Tat relevant? Ohne Erklärung wird aus einer Verbrechensmeldung schnell eine Identitätsdebatte. Das kann Angst und Lagerdenken verstärken, während Opferschutz und mögliches Behördenversagen aus dem Blick geraten. #Presseethik #Soest #WDR

Job hunting has taught me something unexpected. After 40 years of experience, I’m still asked: “Why didn’t you study?” or told: “I don’t see analytical thinking.” Do other countries judge candidates this way—or more by skills and experience? #Hiring #Jobs #SkillsFirst #Career

Every ending creates space for a new beginning. Keep learning, stay curious, and don’t let temporary setbacks define your future. Sometimes the best opportunities only appear after the door you expected to open stays closed. 🌱 #KeepGoing #Growth #NewBeginnings #Hope

Image description (English):

The photo shows a decorative arrangement placed on a windowsill in front of large windows with horizontal blinds. Bright sunlight streams through the blinds, creating alternating bands of light and shadow across the translucent orange flower decorations.

Several slender green decorative grasses rise from a dark vase, accompanied by dark blue leaf-shaped ornaments and two orange flower-shaped acrylic elements. Any visible company branding has been removed, giving the decorations a clean and neutral appearance.

Beyond the window, a softly blurred cityscape with modern office buildings and patches of greenery stretches under a clear blue sky. The combination of warm sunlight, the geometric lines of the blinds, and the out-of-focus urban background creates a calm atmosphere that contrasts the indoor decoration with the bright summer day outside.

#choice

The photo shows a white coffee mug placed on a red woven table mat beside a window. The mug features the phrase “IS ANYONE REALLY FREE?” along with the iconic blue and red pills from The Matrix Resurrections. Around it are several colorful ceramic plant pots filled with lush green houseplants, while soft daylight streams through the window, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere. The contrast between the calm indoor setting and the thought-provoking message on the mug invites reflection on freedom, choice, and everyday life.

Back from holiday. Celebrating with a little shopping trip. And okay… it wasn’t exactly the healthiest choice. 😄 But local food and fresh ingredients are always worth it. #BackHome #Foodie #Travel

The photo shows a market counter with several wooden crates filled with fresh golden chanterelle mushrooms. Behind them, long cured sausages are displayed in a glass showcase, while bottles of oil and other local delicacies can be seen in the background. A handwritten price sign reading “Pfifferlinge 100g €2.90” adds to the authentic atmosphere. The combination of rustic wooden crates, fresh produce, and traditional specialties creates the feeling of a local delicatessen or farmers’ market, highlighting regional food culture and seasonal ingredients.

I’m still thinking of the victims, their families and everyone who now feels less safe. I hope we can grieve together without turning pain into blame. No one should have to be afraid simply for being who they are. #Berlin #CSD #LGBTQ #Together #AgainstHate

The image shows a large crowd gathered along a tree-lined avenue at sunset, facing the Berlin Victory Column. Many people carry rainbow flags, while candles and flowers form a quiet memorial in the foreground.

Despite the size of the gathering, the atmosphere feels calm and reflective. The people appear to be standing together in sadness, care and mutual support. The warm evening light adds a gentle sense of hope without taking away from the grief.

Beautiful weeks in Italy—lakes, hills, sea and sunsets. I’m deeply grateful for the privilege of travelling through a peaceful Europe. And I remember those in European countries who cannot share that peace today. #Italy #Europe #Peace #Gratitude

This collage brings together six moments from a journey through northern and central Italy at twilight, each capturing a different atmosphere of the landscape and its cities.

* Top left – Peschiera del Garda: The calm waters of Lake Garda reflect the evening lights along the waterfront beneath a deep blue sky, creating a peaceful and serene scene.
* Top center – Perugia: A panoramic view overlooks the historic hilltop city at sunset, with warm pastel colors fading into the distant Umbrian hills.
* Top right – Ancona: The illuminated staircase and modern elevator leading down to the Adriatic waterfront stand out against the fading light, blending architecture, history and the sea.
* Bottom left – Rimini: A quiet harbor filled with small fishing boats rests beneath a dramatic dusk sky, while warm lights from the surrounding buildings shimmer on the water.
* Bottom center – Marina Romea (Ravenna): Sunlight streams through a dense pine forest, creating golden rays between the trees and highlighting the tranquility of the natural landscape.
* Bottom right – Verona: The Adige River reflects a vibrant sunset, framing the city’s historic skyline and church domes in soft evening colors.

Together, the images tell the story of a journey through Italy—from lakes and forests to medieval cities and the Adriatic coast—showing the beauty, diversity and peaceful atmosphere that can still be experienced across much of Europe.

coffee, blue water and small sails—no spectacle, just a moment that makes life feel complete. #LaDolceVita #Fellini #Italy #LakeLife

A small glass of cold brew coffee stands beside a chilled bottle of water on a shaded restaurant table. In the softly blurred background, the bright blue lake and a few people near the shore create a relaxed summer atmosphere.

Two large pine trees frame a peaceful view across the blue lake. A group of small white sailing boats moves together in the distance, almost like a mother duck accompanied by her ducklings, with hazy mountains rising behind them.

Art and press freedom matter most when they make us uncomfortable. The #DieAnstalt team answered the ZDF decision respectfully, but clearly: debate, don’t censor. RSF 2026: Germany 14th, US 64th, Russia 172nd, China 178th. #DangerDan #ArtisticFreedom www.dw.com/en/antifa-so...

The photo shows a television mounted on a wall, displaying the 100th episode of the German satirical programme “Die Anstalt” on ZDF. Three presenters are seated on a brightly lit blue stage, each holding notes. Their expressions appear calm, serious and composed, suggesting a respectful discussion despite the controversy surrounding the cancelled performance by Danger Dan and Igor Levit.

The contrast is striking: the dark room around the television and the illuminated studio frame a moment in which satire, artistic freedom and press freedom are being publicly debated rather than silenced.

A good coffee is the best morning gift you can enjoy. Our last morning in Bologna is just beginning. ☕️🇮🇹 #Bologna #Italy #MorningCoffee #TravelMoments

The image shows a small Italian coffee-table scene. In the foreground, there is a white cup containing a nearly finished espresso, placed on a saucer with a metal teaspoon. Around it are several white milk jugs, another cup, a container filled with sugar packets, and a clear glass ashtray. Everything sits on a black-and-white table decorated with large floral patterns, creating the relaxed atmosphere of a morning coffee in Bologna.

Is social media the problem—or only part of it? The EU is tackling addictive design and protecting minors through the DSA. But what are children losing while we are all looking at screens? #SocialMedia #Childhood #DigitalServicesAct #EU #ScreenTime

The image shows a busy outdoor restaurant or café in the evening. Many people are sitting closely together beneath large umbrellas, eating, talking and watching screens. In the foreground, several children are seated at a table using tablets or other digital devices while adults gather around them. The scene contrasts a lively shared social space with individual attention focused on screens.

Beuys in Perugia, 1980: Expanded art • social sculpture • ecology • grassroots democracy • human rights • economic reform • roots of the Green movement #JosephBeuys #SocialSculpture #GreenMovement #Ecology #GrassrootsDemocracy #Perugia #ArtAndPolitics

The collage presents Joseph Beuys’s six blackboard panels, created during the Beuys–Burri encounter at the Rocca Paolina in Perugia on 3 April 1980.

Arranged as a museum-style study sheet, the panels explore Beuys’s idea of an expanded concept of art and social sculpture. The chalk drawings connect art with ecology, democracy, human rights, economic reform, individual freedom, and social responsibility.

Each blackboard is shown with an English summary, highlighting themes such as:

* solidarity instead of competition
* grassroots democracy
* ecological and social rights
* reform of money and the state
* freedom from external control
* society as a collective work of art

The collage places the work in the political and cultural atmosphere of the late 1970s and early 1980s, when environmental, peace, anti-nuclear, and citizens’ movements helped shape the emerging Green movement.

Cornetto. Caffè. Perfetto. #ItalianBreakfast #CoffeeTime #SimplePleasures #Buongiorno #ItalyTravel #Interrail

The image shows a simple Italian breakfast on a café table. In the foreground, there is a small cup of espresso, while a golden-brown cornetto rests on a plate behind it. A glass of juice, a white jug, and other breakfast items are also visible. In the softly blurred background, other guests are sitting among plants and flowers. The atmosphere feels calm, cosy, and summery.

From Ancona on the Adriatic to hilltop Perugia, the train crosses the Apennines—linking Greek-founded Ancona with the Etruscan, Roman and medieval roots of Umbria. Add local pasta and fresh fennel-orange salad: Italy through landscapes, flavours and history. #Marche #Umbria #Interrail

1. A panoramic view over a historic hill town, with tiled rooftops, stone buildings and distant green hills in warm evening light.
2. A lush hillside framed by tall trees, overlooking houses and the surrounding countryside.
3. A spacious stone terrace with glass panels in the ground, facing historic buildings and a church tower.
4. A wide view across a green valley, with scattered houses, fields and rolling hills.
5. A mountain landscape photographed through a train window, with part of the carriage interior visible.
6. A dramatic pale rock face or quarry, with construction areas and greenery at its base.
7. A steep mountain valley covered in dense forest beneath a bright blue sky and white clouds.
8. Open countryside with fields, railway tracks and a long row of old stone arches.
9. A quiet beach scene with umbrellas, a few swimmers and the calm blue sea.
10. At the bottom left, a fresh fennel salad topped with walnuts and a slice of orange.
11. At the bottom right, a bowl of pasta in a creamy sauce, served with grated cheese, while the salad, coffee and bread remain visible in the background.

The comfort of living and travelling by the sea: fresh air, open horizons, good food, and a slower rhythm. But this beauty is not guaranteed. Enjoying the coast also means protecting it—for those who live here, and for those who come after us. #LifeByTheSea #ProtectOurOceans #SaveTheCoast

A table is set on the terrace of a seaside restaurant. Two plates, cutlery, a glass of water, a bottle of mineral water, and a basket of bread are arranged on a light tablecloth. Beyond the railing, the calm sea and pale sky create a quiet, relaxing atmosphere.

A seafood meal is served at the same seaside restaurant. In the foreground, a plate holds grilled fish with herbs and slices of grilled aubergine. On the shared platter behind it are the remains of another fish, lemon wedges, and a small mixed salad. Water glasses, bread, and the sea in the background complete the scene.

The sun above, the sea ahead, and for a moment nothing else matters. Rest is not wasted time—it is how we find the strength to keep going. #Rest #Sea #Summer #Recharge

The photo shows a quiet beach beneath a vast, deep-blue sky. Closed parasols and shaded loungers appear in dark silhouette across the foreground. Beyond them, a calm sea stretches toward a low rocky breakwater, with a few swimmers visible near the shore. The scene feels peaceful and unhurried, as though the beach is slowly settling into a moment of rest.

Reading State of Terror by Hillary Rodham Clinton and Louise Penny beside a peaceful pool. The surroundings feel calm—but peace in a photograph is not the same as peace in reality. Sometimes the quietest moments leave the hardest questions behind. #StateOfTerror #HillaryClinton #LouisePenny #Reality

The image shows a quiet scene beside a sunlit swimming pool. In the foreground, a person holds an open book containing an English quotation by Tom Peters about the long period since the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. The reader’s outstretched legs are visible on the right.

In the background, a turquoise pool is surrounded by white loungers, parasols and neatly trimmed green hedges beneath a clear blue sky. At first, the setting conveys calm and relaxation. Yet the contrast with the passage about nuclear danger adds a more unsettling meaning: the peacefulness of the immediate surroundings does not necessarily reflect the reality of the wider world.

Propaganda kills: “Guns don’t kill people” — and history supposedly doesn’t either, until its lies create victims again. #Propaganda #Austerity #SocialJustice #HistoricalMemory #Democracy #Fascism #PoliticalSatire #HistoryMatters #StopDisinformation #ProtectTheVulnerable

The image connects social cuts, political self-presentation and historical distortion.

On the left, government figures cut a safety net labelled “Support Payments.” Beneath it sit a single mother and her child. The message is that savings are imposed not on those who avoid responsibility, but on those already carrying the consequences. Signs such as “Budget Savings” and “Pressure on the Middle” show how austerity moves downward into wider society.

Above them, wealthy figures celebrate. This contrast raises the central question: “Strength? Or social hardness?” Is cutting support really political strength, or simply pressure directed at the vulnerable?

On the right, a machine labelled “History Rewriter” produces two narratives: “Hitler built the Autobahn” and “Hitler was a communist.” The image marks them as myth and falsehood. A fact board corrects them: motorway plans existed before 1933, and the Nazis were fiercely anti-communist.

The image does not claim that today is identical to the 1930s. It warns about familiar mechanisms: hardship is sold as strength, insecurity grows, and propaganda offers simple enemies and rewritten history.

The crowd and journalist represent a public watching this happen. The final message is: When democratic politics sells hardness as strength, history becomes a tool.

A beautiful first evening in Ancona — warm lights, quiet streets and a final walk up to the illuminated Monument to the Fallen, overlooking the sea. A perfect ending to our first day here. #Ancona #Italy #Travel #EveningWalk #Marche #Interrail

A nighttime view over Ancona from an elevated walkway. Illuminated paths lead down toward the coast, while the bright Monument to the Fallen stands prominently on the hillside in the distance.

A wide stone terrace at night, softly illuminated by decorative light patterns. A few people sit along the balustrade, enjoying the quiet atmosphere and the view into the darkness beyond.

New location, new feeling. We’ve just arrived in Ancona — blue sea, Mediterranean light, a fresh salad and the impressive Monumento ai Caduti overlooking the coast. A calm beginning in a new place. #Ancona #Italy #AdriaticSea #Travel #Interrail #NewLocationNewFeeling

Large, dark palm leaves frame the view of the calm, deep-blue Adriatic Sea. A small white sailboat can be seen near the horizon. The clear sky and bright sunlight create a peaceful Mediterranean summer atmosphere.

A table on a restaurant terrace is set with a large salad containing cucumber, tomatoes, feta cheese, olives, and lemon wedges. Bread, water, beer, and a cup of coffee are also visible. The scene feels relaxed and suits a light meal on a warm day.

The Monumento ai Caduti in Ancona stands in the center of a large square near the coast. The circular monument, supported by tall columns, is framed by trees. Its pale stone, the blue sky, and the nearby sea give the scene a dignified but open atmosphere.

wonderful evening in Rimini’s old fishermen’s quarter near Ponte Tiberio: warm lights, painted walls, quiet streets and a dinner full of local flavors — from grilled tuna to pasta, seafood and dessert. Sometimes a place is best remembered through its atmosphere. #Rimini #PonteTiberio #Italy

The image is a wide collage capturing a warm summer evening in Borgo San Giuliano, near Ponte Tiberio in Rimini.

At the centre, a softly lit cobblestone street runs between old ochre-coloured houses, decorated with murals, shutters, bicycles, flowers and small outdoor dining areas. Other panels show a quiet terrace with white tables and closed umbrellas, as well as another view of the historic quarter under warm streetlights.

The food photographs document a seafood dinner at Retroborgo:

* grilled tuna with salicornia and passion-fruit sauce
* ravioli filled with red mullet and potatoes, served with tomato-and-cucumber gazpacho, crispy asparagus and sweet-and-sour red onion
* octopus salad with potatoes, Taggiasca olives and rocket pesto
* vanilla mascarpone with biscuit and salted caramel for dessert Menù Retroborgo Borgo San Giuliano Rimini - Osteria di Mare.pdf

Together, the images combine the character of Rimini’s former fishermen’s quarter with the colours and flavours of a relaxed Italian evening.

A perfect Rimini afternoon: first wandering through the sunlit streets of Borgo San Giuliano, where Fellini-inspired murals turn old houses into open-air cinema — then sitting down to enjoy fresh Italian food together. 🎬🍴🇮🇹 #Rimini #BorgoSanGiuliano #Fellini #ItalianFood #ItalyTrip #Interrail

A relaxed lunch scene at a restaurant in Rimini. In the foreground, there is a bowl of fresh salad, cutlery, a floral plate and a paper bread bag. In the background, another dish is being shared, while a person sits across the table. The soft focus gives the picture a warm, intimate atmosphere.

A sunlit house in Borgo San Giuliano, decorated with large murals inspired by Federico Fellini’s cinematic world. Bicycles lean against the ochre-coloured façade, while cobblestones, wooden shutters and overhead wires create a charming, authentic neighbourhood scene under a clear blue sky.

Good morning from Rimini Quiet balconies, green gardens and a clear blue sky—the city is slowly waking up for another Italian summer day. #Rimini #Italy #MorningVibes #Interrail

The image shows a sunny morning in a residential area of Rimini. Dense green bushes and small trees fill the foreground. Behind them are several multi-storey buildings with balconies and outdoor staircases.

The light-green building on the left stands out with its exposed concrete columns and distinctive external staircase. The building on the right is decorated in yellow, brown and green, with closed shutters and a rooftop terrace surrounded by white railings. Above the buildings, the sky is clear, bright blue and completely cloudless. The scene feels quiet, warm and typical of an Italian summer morning.
