Als sie die Juden holten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Jude. Als sie mich holten, gab es keinen mehr, der protestieren konnte.

I'm really not a gamer, but I'm looking forward to this game.

You, whoever you are, if you are reading this, you use what she created many times a day. The praise and respect people like her deserve is incalculable. May she rest in peace, and may we be better at recognizing the immense importance and impact of open web technologies.

Wikimedia Commons had a photo challenge with a theme of "Breaking the rules" and people interpreted it in a bazillion ways. Here are some of my favorite submissions

In case you are wondering, I'm still working through the Greek @duolingo course. I'm occasionally doing Polish or Ukrainian just for fun.

Backwards and unconnected Arabic is common on signs outside Arab countries, but it's usually printed, and here it appears to be hand-painted. Also, the Persian روباه is broken, but the Arabic ثعلب isn't. Curious.

For me, it's one of her best and most memorable, but for some reason, it's not remembered much.

"Lenin is with us" is a literal description. It's hard to explain to people who haven't lived in the Soviet Union how ubiquitous was Lenin's presence in posters, school and university textbooks, news, etc. Maybe not as ubiquitous as the Kims' in DPRK, but close.
"Lenin is With Us!" Soviet poster, 1960.

אני הבנתי את הבעיה שעידו קורא לה בשם יפה ומתאים „תחתית הפח” ב־2019, ולא בטוויטר אלא בקווֹרה. יש הבדלים מסוימים, אבל העיקרון דומה. מה שמדהים הוא שעברו מאז ארבע שנים, והבעיה עדיין נשארה, והמיליארדרים הגאונים כביכול לא המציאו שום דבר טוב יותר.
למען היגיינת רשת ולמען שיזדיין אילן מאסק, אני חוסם כל מפרסם שאני רואה בטוויטר, מה שמביא לי מפרסמים מתחתית הפח. עכשיו זה פשוט אינספור חשבונות שונים שמקדמים את הדבר הזה, שאין לי מושג ואני גם לא להוט לברר אבל מנחש שקשור לקריפטו

ואם אתם חושבים (ובצדק) שטוויטר הוא אתר שהיה טוב והידרדר בגלל שיגעונות של בעל־בית עשיר ודביל, אז מה שקרה לאתר קוורה מאז 2018 טרגי עוד יותר. אבל זה סיפור לשרשור אחר.

This is from a @USATODAY article about LGBT persecution in Uganda. The content is horrifying, but I have a language question. Is "goes onto say" acceptable, or should it be "goes on to say"?

A family of wolves in Belarus saved a puppy from a bear. The ending scene is quite expressive.
Паглядзіце, як у Налібоцкай пушчы сям'я ваўкоў ратуе ваўчанят ад мядзведзя Сям'я ваўкоў, якая пачула набліжэнне да свайго логвішча мядзведзя, трапіла ў аб'ектыў адной з фотапастак.

There are two small, but culturally significant groups of people who live in the U.S., whose English names are written with five letters, and those names are not acceptable in @nytimes #Wordle. One is Amish. I'll mention the other tomorrow because it contains spoilers for today.

Another cool thing about the Osage people is that their language has its own script, inspired by Latin, but distinct. @Evertype participated in creating it, if I understand correctly. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osage_…

Now that I'm looking at it closely, #Wordle is missing some more words for ethnic and religious groups. It has no Irish, Arabs, Czech, or Danes, although it does have Swede, Dutch, and Welsh. Also no Islam, Sikhs, Hindu, or Jains. I honestly wonder why.
