Vienna–Jun. 14, 2025

I took a day trip to Vienna for their Pride celebration. I met up with a group called Democrats Abroad, and they were holding up signs that were very well received by the people marching in the parade.

Sign: No Kings / Just Queens.  Second line is in rainbow colors. Has a picure of a crown with a red slash circle around it.

Wir labeln Pakete, keine Menschen.  Austrian postal service logo in middle; letters have rainbow background.

We label packages, not people. (From Austrian postal service)

Honestly, I wasn’t that much into the festivities. So the rest of the pictures are just things I saw while wandering around.

AI Slop

Here’s a few pictures of a poster on a storefront. From a distance, it looks OK, but when you get close up, the more you look at it, the worse it gets:

Deformed logo on coca-cola cans; impossible opening tabs.
Deformed soda cans; half-circular, half-rectangular bottle. Deformed Pepsi logo on a soda can. A bottle of iced tea labeled DOW.

Buildings etc.

I’ve probably taken pictures of these same places in my other trips to Vienna, but the city really has so much great architecture; why not?

Miscellanea

smiling mannekin heads of man and woman in a window.

This was sort of creepy.

glove store

You sort of wonder how a store specializing in gloves stays in business.
