Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2025
Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Europe to the US oligarchs, especially Zuckerberg and Musk: "You can take your Nazi salute and 'masculine energy' and go back home. "

I remember when advocating for mercy and compassion was considered Christian. Now it's considered radical ideology.

Today marks 96 years since Tintin and Snowy departed Brussels to investigate what was happening in Russia, at the start of “Tintin in the Land of the Soviets”. Their first public appearance was the week before, when this image was published to advertise the start of the story.
The earliest published picture of Tintin and Snowy, depicting them walking right to left across an expanse with a sign writen in Cyrilic lettering, behind which are the outlines of the domes of a Russian Orthodox church. Tintin and Snowy are being watched by a uniformed Russian officer.

Caroline Lucas, "When you say President trump has different views, it's not about different views it's about telling lies, and we should call that out" "The truth is the truth and we should be promoting that" Well said @carolinelucas.bsky.social

The so-called "centre-right" has collapsed. The cordon sanitaire which existed to separate the "centre-right" and radical or far right has collapsed. My column 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A mock up of an imaginary “Tintinologist” magazine cover, modeled after the design of a sixties “Tintin” magazine, with an image bearing the words “Merry Christmas” done as if knitted in red and white wool for a Christmas jumper. It’s accompanied by the message: “Season’s Greetings! Have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year! Best wishes from Tintinologist.org”.

It’s an interesting story in its own right, but it’s highly unlikely that Hergé took Captain Haddock’s family name from an English admiral from Leigh-on-Sea, as claimed in @theguardian.com today. www.theguardian.com/culture/2024... 1/3
