I am tired of #Deutschlandticket

• being attacked by middle aged men
• in newspapers read by middle aged men
• the media is edited by middle aged men, who...
• ... mostly drive cars, which is typical of middle aged men
• who make Besserwisser type of arguments, about how the ticket doesn't pay for itself, an argument typical of middle aged men

When the ticket benefits all sorts of people across the whole of society, most of whom are not middle aged men

Broke the bike trailer coupler yesterday

It’s a German trailer - Croozer. And I’m in France currently. The only stockist of just this part I can find is in Freiburg 🇩🇪 and their online shop won’t send to 🇫🇷

That 🇪🇺 Single Market, eh?

So I’m going to try my luck with a Chinese generic one from Amazon instead 😡

Wishing "AI" was long enough to be unambiguous, rather than occurring as a common substring of other words etc.

Otherwise I'd add an email client rule to send anything mentioning it straight to spam.
