A square, high‑contrast image: a deep black background with crisp, white text stacked in the center like a small pillar. The type is unadorned and sans‑serif, evenly spaced, each line left‑aligned within the central block so the eye is pulled down through the short stanzas. Small gaps separate the grouped lines, creating the sense of discrete beats or refrains. The words themselves are spare and relentless — the familiar refrain that begins, “First they came for the Communists / And I did not speak out / Because I was not a Communist” — then repeats the pattern for socialists, trade unionists and Jews, before ending with the speaker’s rueful recognition: “Then they came for me / And there was no one left / To speak out for me.” The repetition and simple syntax give the piece a quiet, mournful cadence; the progression from “they” to “me” tightens the emotional focus as the poem advances. Visually and tonally the image is austere: no ornament, nothing to distract from the text. That minimalism amplifies the moral clarity and urgency of the lines — a short, stark warning about complicity conveyed with few words and a heavy, lingering silence around them.

Republicans will never impeach Trump because they believe in carrying a dying baby to full term.

A #science #education #human question. Educators have known for a long time that students learn in different ways. What's the education intersection with #AI? Visual learners vs audio learners vs reading learners vs kinetic learners. Are we cutting out a portion of us?

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

#MLB #Cubs #Padres while watching the Cubs beat the Padres today on ESPN we observed that one TV was about 5 minutes ahead of another in our house. A relative who lives 1000 miles was 1 minute ahead mine and friends who live 2000 miles west were also offset watching the same game. What’s up???

"E-moto" - it's good to get some clarity on what these things are called. Let's work to make "e-moto" universally understood as distinct from regular "e-bikes".

now is the time for every media personality to stand up and speak out, because what this shows is that nothing will save you

they’re coming for all of you, unless you’re a true believer your days are numbered and your bosses are eager to comply

do something you can be proud of on your way out

I have now posted over 100 owl pictures since July 2, 2025. They have been so fun to photograph. I know who mom, dad and their one almost completely grown child are. So amazing!
