Vi kollade på diskussionen med kanslerkandidaterna ikväll och jag kan inte släppa Merz stenhårda markering mot det nya USA, vars påverkanskampanj han jämförde med Moskva. Blytungt och rakryggat. www.watson.ch/videos/inter...

If you don't mind, could you reply to this toot with something you have accomplished recently? Work, hobby, whatever, but especially if it's something fiddly and technical that required quiet contemplation or problem solving. Right now my feed is flooded with the omni-catastrophe even more […]

Huh, so what is this? Spam, right?

Visited the Church of the Eremitani https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_Eremitani and the Eremitani Museum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musei_Civici_di_Padova today. Not the Scrovegni Chapel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrovegni_Chapel, I have a […] [Original post on urbanists.social]

So, German elections: Nothing really surprising, right? It went as predicted. Tino Chrupalla, AfD: "Voters have clearly decided against firewalls" Huh, what is he taking? When 80% voted for parties that are for the firewall.

Does this count as an Eiffel Tower lookalike, @jon ? It is broadly the same shape, but obviously not a replica as such. Situated on top of a building. At 45.40756N, 11.87877E

Symbol later to be known as that of #Ferrari? A black prancing horse on yellow background. In the Basilica of Saint Anthony, #Padova

Shooting of a remake in progress?

Strike of (against?) the patriarchy?

Paikallisen yliopistollisen sairaalan luettelo lahjoittajista (tai mitä tarkoittanee ”benefattore”) alkaa vaatimattomasti vuodelta 1421.

Well, if you still believe in what that sign symbolises, perhaps you should be. Or is Communism, in the sense of still using the hammer and sickle as a symbol, still popular in Italy?

[Execution by torture] Reading https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking_wheel (prompted by seeing an old painting of Saint Catherine with her wheel), I am wondering why a wheel had to be used. Wouldn’t using any random heavy implement be simpler and just as effective?

Yummy, that looks promising. But it was full (of locals?). I am hungry. Should I just go to a supermarket and buy something to prepare in my apartment?

Kata taas lähdössä fillaroimaan.

[Slightly suggestive giant finger.] I see what you did there.

Agrippina-kampaus. Suurinta muotia aikoinaan.

Mies: Kyllä minä osaan ajaa, hiljaa siellä takapenkillä. Vaimo: En sano mitään. Poika: Joko ollaan perillä kohta? Tai oikeasti kai tuo on joku palvelija joka ohjastaa heppoja?

Moi, toin sinulle ankan. No kiitos, sitä juuri nyt kaipasinkin.

Det här är det största som har hänt i Vörå sen Vörå grundlades.

Which is the least interesting Italian region and why is it Molise? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regions_of_Italy

Yritän tehdä niin.

Keep ‘em coming Via Bloomberg: The #EU is exploring more aggressive ways to seize part of #Russia's frozen central bank assets— $280 billion —amid signs the US will pare back assistance.

Quite decent Wi-Fi in this self-service apartment hotel in Padova, with the odd name Erik Langer Pedrocchi. The check-in procedure could use some UX improvements, though.

What sorcery is this? Monorail rubber tyre tram? Excellent idea, or just another #gadgetbahn? In #Padova

And today’s journey continues to Padua, or Padova in Italian, in an ETR500. I can never decide whether to use the local or English name for a city. At least in a train nerd context, one should use the local names. But not all my followers are train nerds.

Oh noes. A restaurant that has Spag Bol on the menu must be some horrible tourist shit, right? Changing trains in Firenze Santa Maria Novella. Thought I would have something to eat, but the area close to the station is of course extremely touristy.

holy smokes thanks for telling me google that was a close one

Rakastan kaupunkeja joissa on kivoja maastomuotoja. Pystysuuntaiset etäisyydet voivat lyhyillä (kävely)matkoilla olla samaa suuruusluokkaa kuin vaakasuuntaiset. Mutta on toki ikävä jos joutuu kulkemaan ylämäkeen kantamusten kanssa tai huonokuntoisena. Reitin optimointi on A&O. Perugian aseman […]

Onnistuin siirtämään Ark Brutin instagram-sisällön pixelfediin! Siellä lepää: https://pixelfed.social/ark_brut

Even if I am not a car person, and think that city planning based on cars is an abomination, I am able to appreciate beautiful cars when I see them. From a purely aesthetic point of view, that is. Like this small #Fiat 500. In a dull colour it would be meh […] [Original post on urbanists.social]

Tervehdys @maatapitkinmatkustus täältä Mastodonin puolelta. Olin aikoinaan aktiivinen Facebook-ryhmässä mutta sitten kyllästyin Facebookiin. (Mastodonissa viihdyn paremmin, ei mainoksia.) Olen parhaillaan ollut noin kuukauden Italiassa reilaamassa. Kylmää […] [Original post on urbanists.social]

Börjar boka lite inför en Italienresa i maj och uppdaterade hur man köper platsbiljett för #interrail på Österrikiska ÖBB:s #Nightjet . Mini-cabin för min del. ⚰️ https://interrailinfosvenska.wordpress.com/nightjet/ #tågluff

På tal om Trieste och caffè så hade turistbyrån en broschyr med olika teman: romerskt, judiskt och kaffe. ☕️ Trevlig stad med tydliga inslag från de närliggande länderna. Länk om Kroatien, relevant för den som reser via Ljubljana (rekommenderas) […] [Original post on mastodonsweden.se]

In der 9. Stunde habe ich heute mit meiner 5. Klasse über die Bundestagswahl gesprochen und die erste Frage, die kam: "Wenn die AfD gewinnt, müssen wir dann alle aus Deutschland raus?" Gefolgt von, ob sie wenigstens selbst bestimmen könnten, wohin sie wollen. Dann die Frage eines Mädchens, ob […]

Breakfast in my B&B in Perugia, and then down to the station and on to Padova. Don’t think I will buy any more Speck in Italy to prepare, it is awfully salty.

Anyone who appears to be making a Nazi salute is making a Nazi salute. There’s no need for speculation when the only people who ever do it are Nazis.

President Zelenskyy is one of the most remarkable leaders of our time. With unwavering courage and determination, he confronted Russia’s unprovoked aggression, refusing to back down in the face of overwhelming odds. He has become a symbol of resilience, hope, and strength—not just for Ukraine […]
