  1. Intensive social media study shows: Everyone is very excited about Berlin-Usedom-Berlin (BUB) or Highland Trail (HT550). Anyone here taking on one of these challenges? #BikeTooter #fahrradbubble #bikepacking #ultracycling #steppenwolf #HT550

  2. A quotation from Herman Hesse

    Now the bourgeois treasures nothing more highly than the self (rudimentary as his may be). And so at the cost of intensity, he achieves his own preservation and security. His harvest is a quiet mind which he prefers to being possessed by God, as he does comfort to pleasure, convenience to liberty, and a pleasant temperature to that deathly inner consuming fire. The bourgeois is consequently by nature a creature of weak impulses; anxious, fearful of giving himself away and easy to rule. Therefore, he has substituted majority for power, law for force, and the polling booth for responsibility.
     
    [Der Bürger nun schätzt nichts höher als das Ich (ein nur rudimentär entwickeltes Ich allerdings). Auf Kosten der Intensität also erreicht er Erhaltung und Sicherheit, statt Gottbesessenheit erntet er Gewissensruhe, statt Lust Behagen, statt Freiheit Bequemlichkeit, statt tödlicher Glut eine angenehme Temperatur. Der Bürger ist deshalb seinem Wesen nach ein Geschöpf von schwachem Lebensantrieb, ängstlich, jede Preisgabe seiner selbst fürchtend, leicht zu regieren. Er hat darum an Stelle der Macht die Majorität gesetzt, an Stelle der Gewalt das Gesetz, an Stelle der Verantwortung das Abstimmungsverfahren.]

    Herman Hesse (1877-1962) German-born Swiss poet, novelist, painter
    Steppenwolf, “Treatise of the Steppenwolf,” ch. 2 (1927) [tr Breighton (1929)]

  7. "The cities have turned into jungles
    And corruption is strangling the land
    The police force is watching the people
    And the people just can't understand
    We don't know how to mind our own business
    'Cause the whole world's got to be just like us
    Now we are fighting a war over there
    No matter who's the winner, we can't pay the cost"
    #Steppenwolf - from Monster/Suicide/America on their 1969 album "#Monster".
    Even more relevant today, but a reminder that 57 years ago the US were #warmongering.

    This song is almost 60 years old, and it is perfect for this moment. It had me in tears today. #steppenwolf #musicvideo

  11. RE: mastodon.social/@odoruhako/115

    So, nächste Woche. 🫣

    Mein aktueller Plan ist einmal 160km und dann eine kleine Runde mit 60km damit ich die 16+h beschäftigt bin. Und ich will mir eine große Thermoskanne an den Gepäckträger spannen.

    Der Wetterbericht sieht trocken aus, und so 4°C.

  12. Get in the car after a chilly couple hours at a soccer game takin pictures then go chase sirens to see what that was all about (report of a 70 year old dude in a wheelchair missing from a nursing home then - he was found when someone checked the building again - proverbial false alarm but he’s OK) and this was on and I cranked it.

    Rogue's is down now so hoping for FediMagic for this to get out from here:

    You don't know what
    We can find
    Why don't you come with me, little girl
    On a magic carpet ride

    #Steppenwolf #NoEffort

  14. Last night I hold Aladdin's lamp
    And so I wished that I could stay
    Before the thing could answer me
    Well, someone came and took the lamp away
    I looked around, a lousy candle's all I found
    Well, you don't know what we can find
    Why don't you come with me, little girl
    On a magic carpet ride

  15. "Born to Be Wild" is a song written by #MarsBonfire and first released as a single by #Steppenwolf. Although the lyrics do not specifically mention motorcycles, the song is often invoked in both #popular and #counterculture to denote a #biker appearance or attitude since being featured in the 1969 film #EasyRider. Sometimes, "Born to Be Wild" is described as the first heavy metal song.

  16. Das nenn ich Traditionspflege: orf.at/av/video/onDemandVideo1 Alte amerikanische Räubertraditon, wie schon 1969 von Steppenwolf über das Monster Amerika gesungen: "... bullied, bought and stole a homeland ..."!
