Keeping every photograph is easy. Choosing which ones deserve to stay takes judgement and a willingness to let go. Delete the failures, question the mediocre, and stop preserving twenty versions of the same moment. Your best pictures deserve room to breathe, and your friends deserve better than an endless scroll through everything you could not bear to delete.

Tesla: The Safest Car in the World?
The safest car in the world? Crash tests answer only part of that question. While reviewers admire Tesla’s latest dashboard tricks, I keep noticing the security fixes in its release notes. As AI gives attackers better tools, the less entertaining question becomes harder to ignore: how well is your connected car being maintained after you buy it?
How Much Dinner, How Much Theatre?
Two evenings of exquisite food in Franschhoek taught me that pleasure does not necessarily increase with the number of courses. Between premium wine pairings, Wagyu supplements and a diminishing appetite, I began to suspect that the most elusive luxury in fine dining might be knowing when to stop serving it.
Whalefall: At Least Sharknado Knows It’s Stupid
I have not seen Whalefall, and its sales pitch has convinced me to preserve that achievement. A man spends an hour inside a whale processing his relationship with his dead father. Apparently, digestion now comes with character development. Give me Sharknado: at least its nonsense doesn’t expect to be mistaken for emotional depth.
The Missing Ingredient Is the Fair
Werner’s Magenbrot is soft, beautifully glazed and thoroughly inconvenient to complain about. It tastes wonderful. But buying it at the supermarket has quietly removed something I remember from childhood: the wait for the fair. Apparently, I have reached the age where easy access to good gingerbread counts as a disappointment.
The Autobahn Hero Meets a Swiss Speed Camera
There is a particular kind of German motorist who finds Switzerland terribly amusing. Our motorways are too slow, our speed limits too restrictive, and our approach to driving evidently designed for people who consider arriving somewhere a rather vulgar ambition.…
Since When Is a Decade a Musical Genre?
I grew up with the eighties and nineties, but apparently failed to notice that my musical taste was supposed to stop there. Radio has decades of extraordinary music at its disposal, from soul and funk to pop and rock. Yet choosing the next record often seems to involve checking its birth certificate before anybody bothers to listen.
The Time Capsule Has a Repeat Button
Radio around Zürich offers plenty of stations and remarkably little escape. Radio Zürisee tried something different by retreating into the 80s and 90s. A good idea, until the same safe classics start circling endlessly. The charts may be repetitive, but at least they change. Nostalgia on permanent rotation is simply repetition with better hair.
Dear Packers, I’m Running Out of Next Years
The Packers have spent the money, traded the picks and extended the people in charge. I had assumed protecting the quarterback might also feature in the plan. As injuries expose the cracks, Titletown’s championship ambitions are testing even my capacity for denial. Naturally, I still believe we’re going to the Super Bowl next season.
The Melody Is Borrowed. The Chatter Is All Yours.
Pop has discovered a shortcut: borrow a tune people already love, then talk over it until nothing is left to enjoy. Bebe Rexha's “New Religion” does it to Faithless's “Insomnia”, one of the greatest club records ever made. Somebody else wrote the melody. The chatter is all hers.
