Oops—I didn't mean to give the "Opinionator" via, but rather the "Olivia Judson blog" one: http://judson.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/12/23/the-ten-days-of-newton/ !gravmass -

BTW everyone Happy New Year (belated NS, anticipatory OS), and Merry !GravMass — even though the 10 days of Grav-Mass ended this morning ☺ http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/12/23/the-ten-days-of-newton/ -

@d0e, I don't know what your working definition of "shitposting" is; if you're "just trying to elicit a response from as big a portion of the Internet as possible regardless of how small a portion of the targets are actually willing or even reasonable targets", we used to call that "carpet bombing"—or "SPAM". -

@doe, you do seem to be posting *about* "everything" *except* GNU social. I'm just asking you to find or create a group that's actually appropriate to your topics instead of hijacking random groups. People who like to use !gnusocial to talk about !gnusocial may be archetypal nerds, but that doesn't imply that we care a whit about anime or anything else—but there are groups for people who do care about those things. -

@d0e, proper group #etiquette would be to post things that you think the group members would like to hear, rather than things you'd like them to hear. If you think you're doing the former rather than the latter, then you have grossly misunderstood what that group was for. Of course, with the group moribund as it is, you're welcome to have it. Please don't bring that behavior to the new one—start your own "!soapbox". -

@d0e WTF is with you posting everything you write to the !gnusocial group regardless of topicality? -

#LibreGraphicMag 1.1 was also the first time I ever encountered that image of a `jovial, affable, everyman #Hitler'... @bob @steve -

Eric Schrijver's "Visual Literacy" article in #LibreGraphicsMag 1.1 nicely described the issues with the way photographs from history are oft used to illustrate it afterward: http://libregraphicsmag.com/files/libregraphicsmag_1.1_lowquality.pdf @bob @steve -

@bob @steve that's sort of why it's so hard to look at those pictures, actually—and why acknowledging them may be even more important than the more gruesome ones… -

@rozzin @steve One thing to remember. Hitler is usually portrayed as a monster. The Other, or The Shadow in Jungian terms. But Hitler was really just a man. A man who sometimes made telephone calls. Mostly an office worker and bureaucrat in a suit. The potential to do Hitler-like things exists everywhere and at all times. Hatred and rage, and the desire to look for simp… -

Agreed. It's watching Nero fiddle while Rome burned. Except it's Hitler, and Western Civilization. -

The images I find harder to look at are actually ones like this…: https://www.hackerposse.com/~rozzin/shoah/affable-everyman-hitler.jpg -

@rozzin So hard to look at those images, but so necessary to remember the evil that all people are capable of. My wife's grandfather also participated in the liberation of cience traction camps. He has some haunting photos as well. -

Mm. I just remembered that the last time I tried this, Yad Vashem had seriously screwed up and made their webpages un-bookmarkable—really hoping this has since been fixed: https://www.hackerposse.com/~rozzin/journal//my-centenarian-grandfather -

If you have the stomach for it, there are another 11 (more expositive) images in my grandfather's #Dachau #photo album: https://status.hackerposse.com/url/12578 -

My grandfather, my son's namesake, fought that fight too—he took this #photo after helping to liberate Dachau: https://status.hackerposse.com/url/12577 -
