When I joined Mastodon, the DotCloud instance was kind of the default choice. Now that I have been notified of that instance getting flooded by rightwing trolls and malicious actors and being blocked by some other instances, I guess I will have to move my account.
Any suggestions? My pet peeves […]

Big props to #thechinashow for exposing the utter rubbish that #china's trashy #propaganda rug @globaltimesnews has been spreading on the collision of a #coastguard and a #plan ship in the Southeast Asian Sea - on X, that is.
Turns out that brainlessly chasing […]

The art of killing a deal on reducing #plastic waste. Did I mention that I am getting massively annoyed by the #unitedstates as of late? #maga is a threat to livelyhood and safety all over the world. I've had it with these foolish bigots.
Next-up: the big beautiful act of throwing #ukraine under […]

A trip down memory lane: 90ies local punk band #hukedicht rocking the #widder in #winterthur, starting 11:05pm. Full house and still filling up. Apart from the drummer those are 50+ folks on stage. #music

Incredible footage taken from a #philippines coast guard ship near the #scarboroughshoal. Supporting the supply of fishermen, the boat got harrassed and chased by one #pla Navy destroyer and one of #china's coast guard ships, with all the usual shenanigans, water cannon spraying and dangerous […]

Heavy rain on the early evening in #winterthur. #mfw starts next week and the build-up is in full swing. Today's national holiday is a wet one, however. #switzerland #weather

As #trump's threats against #canada go to show, his brainrotten #tariffs were never about fair #trade. It was about generating income for the #unitedstates as the filthy rich get another reduction of #taxes. And now its overt #blackmailing in a feeble attempt to force other countries to align […]

Devastated to report that two of my most cherished #bicycles have been stolen from the basement of the apartment block I live in.
Those two hooks up front were the cradles for my go-to #mountainbike (with that new XTR Di2 groupset on it) and my titanium […]

Pretty impressed with the function of #shimano's new #xtr groupset thus far. Shifts lightning fast and those brakes are brutes. #cycling #mtb

#arteconcert is so amazing! I don't remember who on Mastodon first pointed me to it but it's *so good*. Thanks to whoever you are.

If you don't know it, Arte is a a European public service channel and the Arte Concert is their live music channel. The live concert performances are top quality […]

Last week I was very clumsy. I dropped and broke one of my cherished #taiwan #beer glasses. When browsing for gift sets that include these tiny glasses, I found the gift and souvenir ship Lai Hao that is based in #taipei's #daan district. They sell those […]

Took three of my office mates to a Taiwanese restaurant in #zurich for lunch today. And Simon Says Taste #taiwan (at Zwinglistrasse, right next to Langstrasse) did not disappoint.
We had #GuaBao for a starter (pricey but authentic) and various lunch sets.
I […]

Today's program: escape the heat. Get out of the baking city and out to the river. And relax while writing the closing report on #eurobikeshow . #winterthur #sunday

I really do NOT want to fly from Zurich to #frankfurt. But #deutschebahn seriously needs to step up its game. On the way up on Monday, the #ice arrived with just one minute delay. But the connecting #train did not depart at Frankfurt Main Station but from […]

Tough week of work ahead next week at #eurobike in #frankfurt next week. All the better to walk into a cool live #music act in the backyard of a local pub tonight. Got more crowded later on. Add proper #beer. Me happy with that night out.

A photo that I snapped an hour ago of the San Francisco #NoKings protest. I estimate about 150,000 people in total.

Seven days to go for summer solstice - 10pm in the evening in ##winterthur, #switzerland.

Properly representing #taiwan on the first real scorcher of a summer day in #winterthur, #switzerland. Did I say #beer o'clock?

My old trusty #santacruz Bronson C got a mighty upgrade today: bring on that fresh XTR Di2 gear, #shimano. Shifts gears lightning fast and those brakes... anchors much rather. Proper stuff from #japan for the dirt. #mtb #mountainbike #bikeporn

"When small children are fighting bitterly, it sometimes is better to let them fight for a while and only try to separate them after."

This utterly sick metaphor on #russia's deadly and criminal war of #aggression against #ukraine came out of the sewer faucet known as #trump's filthy gob. And […]
