Good news from the German antifa and related organizations scene: copyright protection.
A small group based in Germany has begun buying the Trade Mark rights to certain words and phrases - mainly abbreviations of words associated with extreme right wing groups and movements often aligned with the ideals of the original Nazis - so have them removed from the marketplace.
Companies producing these slogans will now be forced to remove them from their catalogs, from the stores and from sale, or face legal fines.
This could be a mere human error, but I suspect more as I've seen it too often.
The German supermarket chain #Rewe promotes their continual offers of regional goods, especially fruit and vegetables. Small signs tell customers that certain items are from the local area, and people seem to trust them.
An occasional check, though, and it is clear this is not the case. These potatoes are from #Egypt which, no matter how you fold the globe, is not regional to #Bremen. A second container had potatoes from Israel, also not local by any stretch of the imagination.
In fact, none of the items marked as Regional goods on offer in Rewe Bremen yesterday were regional at all.
Time, perhaps, to give someone a geography lesson, or ask whether this is being done on purpose.
So, I had blood work done recently. I have it done regularly as I have high cholesterol. The doctor wants to check to ensure my meds are working. This time I had a testosterone panel.
My numbers came back fine. Close to the middle-ish of the "normal" range for a man of my age.
I did need to get it checked. Overall I'm fine and there's no indication of medical issues based on my testosterone levels
A lot of men tend not to talk about this or other types of testing for themselves. I know my Dad never really did.
We should.
There's no shame in whatever your testosterone levels are, regardless of what the back or your mind or society tries to tell you.
Anyway - stay healthy. Be kind to yourself. Fight the lies society tells you.
