A stylized illustration depicts a person wearing a large, black VR headset. The headset's screen shows a futuristic cityscape at night, filled with tall, brightly lit buildings. The person's face is partially visible, and they appear calm. The background is an orange-hued sunset sky above a sprawling futuristic city with tall, angular buildings and flying vehicles.

"Arbeit macht frei" - work makes one free, was a cynical welcome at the Auschwitz I camp. SS guards often told prisoners of #Auschwitz that the only way out from the camp was through the chimney of the crematorium.

In every generation, there are young people who take up the task of revolution directly, intensely, and most seriously.
The Brigade was quite clear in their aims; they sought to attack property, not people, and their targets included banks, fascist embassies, and the homes of Conservative MP’s, including then Home Secretary Robert Carr, courts and, as depicted in the film Misbehaviour, a BBC Outside Broadcast van at the 1970 Miss World event.

Got tired of drilling CW in MorseMachine, Morsle, and Morse code for Android, and listened in a few times today to see whether I can copy off the air yet.
During the afternoon on 20m, Winter Field Day was in full swing and every CQ I could hear was too fast for me to copy anything after "CQ". (Well, I did copy what sounded like "FDW9" at one point which I assume was related to field day activities) After dark, 80m had some folks with a more leisurely pace. However, signals fading in and out meant that I still had trouble copying call signs. I could at least recognize more characters even if I couldn't copy enough to understand...
I don't have a key yet, so I don't have to feel bad about not transmitting. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it, for a while! 😀

tonight's wikipedia rabbit hole has led me to: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/He_Jiank…
which has the absolutely *fascinating* property of containing sentences starting with things like "He became widely known" and "He was listed in", in which you can't tell if "He" is an English pronoun or a Chinese name, because either parse results in exactly the same meaning
