I am genuinely surprised by the VinFast EV Revolution in Vietnam. Wake up, Europe. Only losers are gas guzzling.

That's the main point: he had a modern, forward looking vision and is charismatic, fun and genuine enough to make people believe that he really means it. Old style politics are dead, like it or not. Adapt.

In the old days it would have been a rattling Cinquecento, now it's a silent Leapmotor EV with zero pipe emissions posing in small alleys of the Mediterranean. #cultureWars

More than 12.000 traffic jams amounting to 20.000 km in combined length were counted just in Bavaria just this year just during the 6 weeks of summer holidays. German trains are terribly unreliable, but motorists tend to forget how long and often they are actually stuck on the road. #perceptionBias

I tend to ride on the rough side in traffic and on trail. Today, for the first time in over 30 years I fell from my bicycle - in an empty car park. Confused, Magic Mary doesn't easily lose grip. Then I spotted a small sheet of paper. Must have gone over it with the front wheel. Limping off in shame.

Funny headline. Good morning BBC, there is no more international law in that sense. The leaders of the world have failed to protect and enforce it. Now international law is a lot of black ink on white paper, nothing more.

These pink flamingo pedal boats are a nice middle finger to the failed Thousand-Year-Reich assimilation terror during the Nazi times.

Looks like the extermination of the Gazan population is going according to plan. Israel won't stop until the Gazans have all starved, been shot, or fled. And the West Bank will be next. Call it a genocide or whatever you want, but Israel should be held accountable to international laws and norms.

DHL is getting slower and slower. To compensate for the lack of progress they now do the German thing: gloss over real life standstill with fake movement in the status updates. My personal favorite is "loaded into a shipping container". Feels like a slap in the face.

Beach season started. Pretty hot already for early summer. We might have to stay more under water than above in the coming months. #boilingFrog

News outlets railing against X while having an active account on the Xitter platform and even linking there on their websites, is just a very bad look. #wouldLoveToTrustYou

Went to the contemporary art museum in Rome today, MAXXI. Zero art, even less contemporary. On display an exhibition glorifying 100 years of highways in Italy. Any bit of reputation this house had gained, went down the drain with the new political realities in Italy. #fascistCulture

Ok, have to admit, this came a bit as a surprise. Guess I have to work on my prompts - and Google Bard on its creativity skills.
Prompt: "draw a portrait of a pirate"

On "Top of the World" (WFJ3+MC2)! First week with an e-bike and it's simply WOW! While I mostly speed way above the 25km/h support limit, uphill/ w wind the e-boost is a blessing. Con: in scenery I sometimes turn off the motor for silence. Thanks to EU and Malta for grants footing 70% of the bill.
