    Pretty telling what #CapitalOne is doing and how #TACO47 is trying hard to push through his #slushfund with the added immunity to reviews from #IRS for the entire #Trump clan. We are witnessing shameless white-collar #crime committed in broad daylight here, folks. Bigly so. #Uhmerica #UnitedStates https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/aug/01/capital-one-trump-organization-money-laundering

    Uodate zum #Bambole #Openair Die Arbeit schreitet voran auf dem Oberen Radhof bei #Winterthur. Zelte verschiedenster Art , für Bars, als Changeover hinter den Bühnen und als Backstage-Bereich, bieten zumindest etwas Schatten. Das Wetter hat seit dem Hagelsturm gehalten, für übermorgen Samstag sind wieder Gewitter angesagt. Das #Festival geht von Donnerstag, 30. Juni bis Samstag, 1. August über die Bühne. Programm und Informationen gibt es unter https://www.bambole.ch. PS Eintritt frei! #music

    Was #Trump kann, kann die ihn anhimmelnde #SVP vom Kanton #Zürich schon lange: plumpsten #AIslop verbreiten. In der jüngsten #Socialmedia-Kampagne der ungustligen Rechtsdemagogen zur #Putin-Unterstützungs-Initiative ist eine Familie ohne Miuuter, dafür mit einem dem #Gaulnd gleichenden Opa zu sehen. Vor allem aber haben #Lederhosen in der #Schweiz eher wenig zu suchen. Kommt davon, wenn mal #Segert die #Werbung machen lässt, was? #Fail #Politik https://www.watson.ch/schweiz/svp/619674290-zuerche...

    Why would anyone order a #motorcade of heavy armored SUVs to drive through a freshly coated and still empty pool? And could this be seen as an act of #vandalism? Maybe?! #reflectivepool #TACO47 #UnitedStates

    Does #TACO47 know that #disapproval is not the same as &quot;this approval&quot;? Someone should tell #DozyDon so, really. Dude is the real #PresidentUnderwater. #Uhmerica #UnitedStates https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-approval-rating_n_6a548901e4b04a4b8d2dbc74?origin=home-latest-news-unit

    They put in #algea! They&#39;re etaing the cats, they&#39;re eating the dogs, they&#39;re eating the pets of the people who live there. It&#39;s fine, #DozyDon, now take your #medication, will you? #teamAlgae here! Everything that #TACO47 touches turns to shit but somehow still fills the pockets of the #Trump clan. Funny that, #Uhmerica. #ReflectivePool

    Those #GOPasshats seriously trying to squeeze USD 1 billion into the #ICE funding bill for #TACO47&amp;#39;s vanity #ballroom are truly shameless bastards. No money from #taxpayers needed for that ballroom thanks to the donations of anonymous #oligarchs? Nah, fahgedd about it, Trump wants more money for himself and then some. As shameless and greedy as his minions. And yes: pay to play is very much a thing at work in all of this. #corruption #8647now #resist #UnitedStates

    Nice find on YouTube: As the open roof construction of #Keelung&amp;#39;s train station attracted a lot of #birds that then messed up the place with their poo droppings, ultrasonic repellers were installed. These were efficient against pigeons, but guess what? #Mynas could not be fooled and took over the place. Some birds are too clever for humans. And the #Myna birds are some of my favourites in Taiwan, pretty cunning and good in imitating all kind of sounds. #Taiwan https://youtu.be/0EODAmLkPA...

    The #USdelegation not mentioning #Taiwan in its summary of #TACO47&amp;#39;s state visit to #China may be the best outcome we could hope for. #Trump has not (yet) thrown Taiwan under the bus because the #UnitedStates need the chips and semiconductors more than oil from the #PersianGulf. But: This administration does not respect allies. It expects submission, loyalty and obedience. #Uhmerica is isolating itself as we speak and #XiJinping is loving it. #resist #TaiwanisnotChina https://focustaiwa...

    The #LennonWall reenactment installed in the underpass of #Taiwan Boulevard (between Sogo department store and Park Lane / Splendor in #Taichung) in support of #democracy and #freedom in #HongKong is still being actively curated.

    Since #DozyDon has just been given the full VIP treatment in #China without raising #humanrights issues in any meaningful way (he&amp;#39;s more interested in doing business, obviously), I call for #freedom for #JimmyLai here.

    RE: https://mstdn.social/@noelreports/116583748964741037 Meanwhile #Russia has just killed over 20 civilians deep inside #Ukraine with its drone and rocket strikes. For Alice Weidel and other #FCKAFD ghouls these attacks do not threaten #Germany&amp;#39;s security, but Ukraine fighting back with weapons it has constructed by its own does? Absolutley laughable. And why is Weidel afraid when she&amp;#39;s living in #Switzerland? This woman makes my bloid boil for all the wrong reasons. Cruella me...

    Today&amp;#39;s 5.1 #earthquake in #Nantou county was atypical as it originated far away from the coastal areas. At the same time its epicentre was similar to the Jiji earthquake that devastated parts of #Taiwan back in 1999. Shaky, baby!

    Die #SVP, unter anderem auch bekannt als Vorbild für die #FCKAFD, will mal wieder #Migration über eine Zahl in den Griff bekommen. Diesmal sind es nicht 18 Prozent, diesmal sind es #10Millionen. Auf diese Zahl will diese fremdenfeindliche Partei die Bevölkerung in der #Schweiz deckeln - und da sind natürlich Ausländerinnen und Ausländer als Puffermasse vorgesehen. Bis zur #Abstimmung werden wir noch einige Geschmacklosigkeiten zu sehen bekommen. Wie diese Anzeige hier.

    In the aftermath of the attack on a #mosque in #SanDiego, I saw comments pop up stating that &amp;quot;a religion of #violence and #hatred&amp;quot; should not be surprised to be facing just that. FFS this was a murderous attack based on #islamophobia and aimed at unarmed innocent people. The attacking #neonazis live-streamed their heinous crime in a bid to copy mass-murderers such as Breivik and Tarrant. Learn to differ between #muslims and #islamists. And stop that toxic hate mongering. #re...

    Da dringen zwei schwer bewaffnete #Neonazis in eine #Moschee ein und ermorden drei Menschen - und einige selbsternannte &amp;quot;Kulturchristen&amp;quot; faseln in den Kommentaren darüber, dass einer #Religion der Gewalt mit ebensolcher leben müsse und dass Gewalt halt eben Gegengewalt erzeuge. Auch die #Kreuzzuege werden als rein defensive Militäraktion verharmlost. Diese Mischung aus Hass, Halbwissen und Gewaltbereitschaft wird uns noch viele Probleme bescheren. #SanDiego https://www.watson....

    Ceterum censeo... Itamar #BenGvir should be arrested and trialed in #TheHague. The guy is a sadistic racist and genocidal supremacist. Folks like him should certainly NOT be above the law. #Israel #NearEast #TwoStatesolution

    RE: https://journa.host/@lolgop/116635287611006301 So #PeterThiel is now directing his obsession with the #Antichrist against #PopeLeoXIV who had the guts to question #AI and its use for mankind. #Thiel is the worst of mankind, and the same goes for any politicians on his payroll such as shady #JDVance. Don&amp;#39;t expect anything good from #tech broligarchs.

    When a difference of opinion regarding tactics in a #cycling race escalated, a dumb German chauvinist first called me an SOB and then said he really hoped for #China to invade #Taiwan when I was there to take care of me. Very classy indeed of that keyboard warrior. Wishing for an invasion and a highly disruptive war, seriously WTF. The sports directors of #RedBull-BOH lost their minds collectively on the lower slopes of the final climb to Cari in today&amp;#39;s #Giro stage. Utter shit show, th...

    Starker Tobak aus der #Motorrad-Branche: #KTM hat die nur 106 kg wiegende Enduromaschine EXC-F 350 stark gedrosselt ausgeliefert, mit einer Nennleistung von 15 PS - um die #Zulassung für den Strassenverkehr zu bekommen. Vor der Auslieferung an Endverbraucher haben Fachhändler die Drosselung entfernt, worauf 50 PS zur Verfüng standen - mehr als das Dreifache. Nur: Endverbraucher machen sich vom ersten Meter an strafbar beim Fahren auf der Kiste! #unrestricted #Betrug https://www.derstandard.at/st...

    Yay, #Taiwan&amp;#39;s number 3 carrier #Starlux is planning to add flights from #TPE to both #Zurich and #Barcelona next year. That is some excellent news. Thus far there have not been any direct connections between #Switzerland and Taiwan, and I always had to look for indirect flights. Starlux is one of my favourites for three reasons: they offer a wee bit more space in economy than others, they serve authentic TW-style food and they operate an Airbus fleet. #travel #aviation https://focustaiw...

    Proper leaders do not base their authority on threats and retaliation. They are motivators. Proper leaders do not dream about immortality to cling to their office. Proper leaders build systems that make them replaceable so the system survives a leader. #Putin is NOT a proper #leader. #Trump is even further away from that. Time to make proper #leadership great again. in #politics and in #corporations.

    For the record: I did not need a batshit crazy #manifesto to know that #Palantir is bad news. Knowing that #PeterThiel is behind Palantir was enough to set all my alarm bells off. Thiel is an enemy of progressive #democracy and the #freedoms as we know them. And Palantir should not be granted access to any data. Seriously, some #tech bros seem to have toasted their brains with those microdoses. #resist #privacy

    Shameless grifting bastards as you&amp;#39;d expect at #DozyDon&amp;#39;s court of conmen.
