In 1938, the German army selected Werner Goldberg to appear on recruitment posters as "the ideal German soldier".

Two years later, he was discharged from the army because his father was Jewish.

(Both Goldberg and his father survived the Holocaust.)

Hmmm. I just had a bizarre experience, involving a global news organisation and a trillion dollar corporation. (I got caught in the middle, so... owch.)
It’s not the sort of experience the people involved usually talk about in public… so I think I’ll talk about it in public.

Valid point. Maybe we should use projections that emphasize people over property.

[Simon Kuestenmacher @simongerman600]

This map is a great example of when the Mercator projection is definitely the right choice. No point in upscaling the “no data” portion of the map and making the data heavy parts of the map unreadable.

I'm Shmi's height.

[Simon Kuestenmacher @simongerman600]

Surely you always wanted to measure your height in units of "Star Wars characters". I am 1 Boba Fatt tall. Source: https://t.co/OMIDovCvLj

[Jeff Schwab @unbuggy]

@daro_street Yes

@PeterSokolowski Unless 'hard' is somehow a noun here.

[Jeff Schwab @unbuggy]

@neiltyson The quotes have gotten a lot more frequent since I answered the poll. One a week would be nice, but several per day are too many.

The best joke about #UkraineWar is this one from @ZelenskyyUa.
