For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

Almost, he advocated for building a ~37 km long maglev train (the Transrapid) between Munich main station and Munich airport.

The project never made it past planning because it would've cost billions with limited economic gain.

as always new technology is developed in germany and then they dont manage to apply it on scale

hyper incompetent local politician Stoiber made heaps of terrible long term damaging decisions. But advocating for the locally developed transrapid isn't one. Wouldn't it be cool if it actually existed? His legacy remains this speech and rampant privatisation of public infrastructure which resulted in quality decline across the board😎 sadly no real 10 minute maglev

his incoherent speech in written form reminds me of orange man tho
