Super proud of @teamkapp on their performance at #WJCC2022 Ate is super proud of her #Adings and have full faith in their abilities to build upon this year. It’s going to interesting finding out what the team will look like next season as Magnus & Klaudius age out of juniors and what effect if any home advantage will have since Füssen will host the next World Juniors. The Germans are more than capable of getting over the hump & getting that historic, elusive Worlds gold. How I will remember Team Kapp from the 2022 World Juniors is best encapsulated in the highlights vide of the semifinal game vs Canada. Check it out on the WCF’s YouTube page. https://youtu.be/0LnUAJYkoKI . . Unfortunately it doesn’t seem like streaming will ever go back to YT so no chat & it’s unlikely for casuals & randos to ever stumble upon curling games organically given YT’s sophisticated recommendation algorithms that Recast doesn’t have, but at least the highlights are still on YT. It’s ridiculous to keep it limited to the end of the Recast vids that you have to pay for every view. . . ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #TeamKapp #TeamGermany #BenjaminKapp #FelixMessenzehl #JohannesScheuerl #MagnusSutor #KlaudiusHarsch #SweepingBeast #Deutschland #curling #wintersports #TeamD #Germans #Germany #TeamDeutschland #HardlineNation ❤️❤️❤️❤️ . . #Repost @worldcurling
Good luck and good curling to my #Adings who’ll be playing against Canada in the 2v3 semifinal game of #WJCC2022 I’m super stoked @teamkapp will be playing for a medal. I’m totally rooting for them to win Here’s to continuing to push through! Sending game winning vibes to Klaudius, Benny, Felix, Johannes, and #SweepingBeast Magnus. . . I was trying to nap and wake up early for the game (I hope it’ll be the featured stream - every single time I’ve seen my Germans on stream this event it’s been the light coverage version), but insomnia’s been winning so I started reading a new book. . . ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #TeamKapp #TeamGermany #BenjaminKapp #FelixMessenzehl #JohannesScheuerl #MagnusSutor #KlaudiusHarsch #Deutschland #curling #wintersports #TeamD #Germans #Germany #TeamDeutschland #HardlineNation ❤️❤️❤️❤️ . . #Repost @worldcurling https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdz6SHxusSB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
*fangirl squee* Germany is already qualified for the playoffs YAS!!! Ate is super proud of her #Adings Way to go @teamkapp Super happy to see reigning World bronze medalist @klaudiusharsch get some actual play time too - he looked cold on the bench the previous game I hope the rest helped #SweepingBeast Magnus Lots more sweeping left this weekend . . It sure is rough being a German curling fan - it’s either checking the WCF page obsessively for score updates or endure through the Reca$t light coverage. Hopefully my Germans will get multiple featured games this weekend I’m counting on them going all the way and winning #WJCC2022 Sending all the positive game winning vibes across the globe to them. . . Apparently there’s a controversy because I’m not cheering for Sweden this event There is an established “arrangement” concerning Team Edin & Team Totzek, but since I don’t really follow the junior teams much, this event is fair game. Given that I’ve met Team Kapp before and already am a fan of theirs, I’m obviously rooting for them the whole way. . . ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #TeamKapp #TeamGermany #BenjaminKapp #FelixMessenzehl #JohannesScheuerl #MagnusSutor #KlaudiusHarsch #Deutschland #curling #wintersports #TeamD #Germans #Germany #TeamDeutschland #HardlineNation ❤️❤️❤️❤️ . . #Repost @worldcurling https://www.instagram.com/p/CdwhtRbPDHH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Super happy to see my #Adings back on top of the #WJCC2022 leaderboard woohoo! Absolute #fangirlproblems because of course the game vs KOR was not being streamed so I had to keep camping the WCF score page like I’m a Spanish Twitch streamer playing Rust against Toast . . I guess the pre-game team walk helped secure the victory (swipe to see a pic from team’s IG - make sure you check them out and follow along on their journey). I need GER to win the rest of their games from here on out You got this @teamkapp Ate’s rooting for you! . . ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #TeamKapp #TeamGermany #BenjaminKapp #FelixMessenzehl #JohannesScheuerl #MagnusSutor #KlaudiusHarsch #Deutschland #curling #wintersports #TeamD #Germans #Germany #TeamDeutschland #HardlineNation ❤️❤️❤️❤️ . . #Repost @worldcurling https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdujb_trvhn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
My #Adings lost the #therecanonlybeone battle vs SCO earlier today. It was a close one during the first half and beyond - it got to 4-4 before SCO pulled away and got the 6-4 lead. Throughout much of the first half of the game, I was like “WTF are you doing Booboo?!?” repeatedly. These young Germans were ballsy and basically psyched Craik into making mistakes which resulted in the YOINK in end 1 and the deuce in end 3, but I was also bracing myself because I felt like it was just a matter of time when that strategy would stop working and would blow up in their face and in a way it did - they gave up a steal that gave SCO the 4-3 lead after the 5th end. That was the turning point of the game for me.
Lots of games left to play at #WJCC2022 SCO & NOR will eventually play & one will lose if they’re still undefeated at that point. I’m hoping for a fierce bounce back for @teamkapp after this - no more losses! Come back stronger than ever You got this! Swipe to enjoy pics from the WCF’s photo album, starting w/ Bob following older bro Josh’s hat game action. I don’t remember Josh looking like that when he sweeps though LOL . . ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #TeamKapp #TeamGermany #BenjaminKapp #FelixMessenzehl #JohannesScheuerl #MagnusSutor #KlaudiusHarsch #Deutschland #curling #wintersports #TeamD #Germans #Germany #TeamDeutschland #HardlineNation ❤️❤️❤️❤️ . . #Repost @worldcurling
CONGRATULATIONS are in order for 610 & the Sutor Family for winning the German Mixed Nationals this weekend I guess @sixten.totzek is the ringer because Magnus is competing w/ Team Kapp at World Juniors in Sweden right now. Curling continues to be a family affair even in other countries like Germany as the Jentsch Family also competed in this event. Here’s to the continued growth of curling worldwide . . Wishing Magnus Sutor and the rest of Team Kapp continued wins in Jönköping. I really hope there’ll be more coverage of my Germans in the coming days I caught one of their games on the static cam last night after I got home from curling league but it had the usual Recast troubles I’ve come to hate, and I was really disappointed the big game vs CAN wasn’t streamed so I was constantly checking the WCF score page for updates. LOL #fangirlproblems . . What’s the appropriate sports cheer in German? If I’m truly embracing the hardcore fangirl mode, I need the German equivalent to Heja Sverige I take these things way too seriously . . ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #TeamGermany #SixtenTotzek #JoshSutor #JoySutor #KimSutor #Deutschland #curling #wintersports #TeamD #Germans #Germany #TeamDeutschland #HardlineNation #mixedcurling ❤️❤️❤️❤️ . . #Repost @teamdeutschland_curling https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdm-DtquZX0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#WJCC2022 is being held in #Jönköping right now but apparently it’s such a big shocker that I’m absolutely pulling for @teamdeutschland_curling in the men’s division I’ve had the pleasure of meeting @teamkapp at Curling Night In America taping in Irvine last year & @teamtotzek in Las Vegas during my birthday trip to WMCC2022 (where Ben, skip of Team Kapp was the alternate) & I have to say I keep becoming more & more a fan of the Germans w/ an ever expanding curling closet to match. . . It was super fun to watch @klaudiusharsch win bronze at Mixed Doubles Worlds so I’m glad he’s with Team Kapp for this event too. Yes, he’s young enough to still compete in World Juniors & he got a medal at Worlds less than a year after I met him so hopefully there’s more medal winning action for my Germans this year Yes, I’ve claimed them too just like the Swedes #mine . . The thing that’s super cool about following the Germans along their curling journey is that most are so young & already scary good so I’m so excited & hopeful to see where they’re at in 4-8 years when they’ve had plenty of international experience. I’ve said it before about 610 being scary good already & the same can be said about the members of Team Kapp. I was impressed seeing them in person in Irvine - they got a win over 2018 Olympic Champs Team Shuster in the US I’m gonna be their Ate (big sister)/Filipino auntie/Protective Mama Bear fangirl for the foreseeable future - same arrangement as Team Totzek’s applies Unlike Team Edin, I get to be on this super major hardcore fangirl experience from the beginning & hopefully by now the Germans know the level of intensity I bring to the table & won’t be scared, confused, or taken aback the way @teamniklasedin members were when I came into their lives . . ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #TeamKapp #TeamGermany #BenjaminKapp #FelixMessenzehl #JohannesScheuerl #MagnusSutor #KlaudiusHarsch #Deutschland #curling #wintersports #TeamD #Germans #Germany #TeamDeutschland #HardlineNation #whydoesmagnusgobybob ❤️❤️❤️❤️ . . #Repost @worldcurling https://www.instagram.com/p/CdjWnl0Pt_6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Hard to believe #WJCC2022 is over. Bummed my #Adings had a rough day during the final, but Ate is still super proud of @teamkapp for winning silver. And yes, they won silver! It’s easy to forget that sometimes, but there are some Canadians & Norwegians who’d rather trade places right now In the end, I feel like Craik just had a little more experience than Kapp and leaned on that experience enough to get the victory. . . To borrow a page from what Niklas Edin said in an interview about his 2018 Olympic loss - it’s not like they played a bad game, they just faced a team w/ more experience. I’m paraphrasing a little but basically Nik said he lost to someone who was playing in his 4th Olympics (Shuster). 4 years later he got to be the guy playing in his 4th Olympics & the one who took home Olympic gold, seemingly against all odds because everyone & their mom basically already handed Mouat the gold even before the Olympics started. Craik played second for Whyte when Scotland got bronze in 2019 & then skipped the Scottish team to another bronze in 2020. This was Benny’s first year at World Juniors & he skipped his team to silver I’m so proud & my heart is full of hope for next year. @bennykapp @felix.messenzehl & @johannes.scheuerl have 2 more cracks at getting that Worlds gold #Füssen next year would be prime timing Oh how I wish I could be there to cheer in person. . . Some photos from the WCF’s album. I’m not saying the media team loves Bobby, but pics are worth 1,000 words right? Just count how many of these pics have @magnus.sutor in them . . ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #TeamKapp #TeamGermany #BenjaminKapp #FelixMessenzehl #JohannesScheuerl #MagnusSutor #KlaudiusHarsch #SweepingBeast #Deutschland #curling #wintersports #TeamD #Germans #Germany #TeamDeutschland #HardlineNation ❤️❤️❤️❤️ . . #Repost @worldcurling https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd7SjEiO03U/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
“Pious or even merely churchly people rarely have the slightest idea how much good will is required of a German scholar today if he is to take the problem of religion seriously.”
—F. Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, §58 (edited excerpt).
Today, April 19th, is the anniversary of the beginning of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising during World War II. There is a fantastic museum in Warsaw dedicated to this uprising and it’s a Must See if you’re in Warsaw. I found out yesterday that there’s a memorial to this uprising in Riverside Park at 83rd Street. I’m going to go pay my respects before work. If you feel like watching The Zookeeper’s WifeorThe Pianist. There’s a movie about the Jewish Uprising but I can’t remember the name (comment if you remember it! It’s the street address of the secret meeting place!) Here are a few photos from the museum.
The original mermaid that stood in the Old Town before the Germans bombed them as punishment for the uprising.
They used the sewers to get around and deliver messages and weapons. This is what you’d see under a safe exit.
The symbol of the uprising.
The flags of the uprising.
And around the city you’ll see several monuments dedicated to those who fought:
The Littler Uprising Monument - dedicated to all the children who helped sneak past guards with messages and weapons.
