No Good Men
Originally titled “Men No Good,” it’s a film about no good men who are just no good.
So you can bet everybody who’s anybody will want to see it at this year’s Berlin International Film Festival, which is also no good, but at least run by women.
Berlin Film Festival 2026: Opening Gala, ‘No Good Men’ Premiere & Red Carpet Gallery – The 76th Berlin International Film Festival rolled out the red carpet today for the opening film and the world premiere of No Good Men by award-winning Afghan director Sharbanoo Sadat, starring Shahrbanoo Sadat, Anwar Hashimi, Liam Hussaini, Yasin Negah, and Torkan Omari at the Berlinale Palast.
The Berlinale launched with a festive opening ceremony led by Festival Director Tricia Tuttle and Jury President Wim Wenders. The evening featured the introduction of the International Jury and the presentation of the Honorary Golden Bear to Michele Yeoh, with Sean Baker delivering the tribute.

In Southern Germany?
Severe (G4) geomagnetic storms rock.

That’s Homo Neanderthalensis for you
But my friends call me Neanderthal.
Highlights: Viral jacked German ‘Neanderthal’ scores fifth straight submission win at OKTAGON 76.
“Neanderthal” is back!
Top European regional promotion OKTAGON returned yesterday in Frankfurt, Germany, with a card headlined by former Bellator title challenger Daniel Weichel vs. Abou Tounkara. But it was the co-main event that drew the most buzz—the return of viral sensation Frederic Vosgrone.
German of the day: Hochkultur
That means high culture.
And in Germany that means you have to be high to think this stuff up.
A nude visit to the museum? That’s exactly what’s possible on two dates at Stuttgart’s Haus der Geschichte, and it’s even expressly encouraged. Guests can not only explore the exhibition, but also enjoy curator tours and performances.
Those are not real elves
And that’s not the real Santa.
Fake news. They really think we’re stupid or something.
3 elves are cycling from the German town of St. Nikolaus to Finland’s Santa Claus Village – Three postal workers set off Saturday on their nearly 3,000-kilometer (1,860-mile) bicycle journey from St. Nikolaus, Germany, to the small town of Rovaniemi, Finland, which is home to Santa Claus Village, according to German news agency dpa.
The cyclists are traveling north to bring letters and Christmas wish lists addressed to Santa Claus from St. Nikolaus, in Germany’s Saarland state, to the winter-themed amusement park perched on the edge of the Arctic Circle.
Under wraps…
But this time without the rap sheet.
Berlin pays tribute to Christo’s iconic ‘Wrapped Reichstag’ – Thirty years ago, Germany’s parliament building “disappeared” under silver fabric for two weeks. The work of art by Christo and Jeanne-Claude is now celebrated with a light installation.
Europe to make Trump “buckle under pressure”
And monkeys to fly out of Europe’s butt.
Trump will ‘buckle under pressure’ if Europe bands together over tariffs, German economy minister says – U.S. President Donald Trump will “buckle under pressure” and alter his tariff policies if Europe bands together, acting German economy minister Robert Habeck said Thursday.
“That is what I see, that Donald Trump will buckle under pressure, that he corrects his announcements under pressure, but the logical consequence is that he then also needs to feel the pressure,” he said during a press conference.
Limited editions?
For limited intelligence, maybe.
Want a limited edition artwork tattooed on your skin? Berlin is the place to go – The city’s tattoo studios are booming while the art world flounders. Under a new initiative, buyers receive exclusive rights to an artist’s new design, and the artist receives 50% of the profit
German of the day: Abfallwirtschaft
That means waste management.
And some waste managers really mean business over here.
A work of art by the “Sprayer of Zurich” at the Museum Church of St. Cecilia in Cologne has already been restored once. Now the spray-painted skeleton by Harald Naegeli has to be renewed once again – because workers overdid it with the cleaning.
