“History Does Not Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes”* 0

At the Austin Statesman, Hannah Strong hears a rhyme echoing across the sea from eight decades ago. She refers to the movie The Zone of Interest, which IMDB describes as

Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss and his wife Hedwig strive to build a dream life for their family in a house and garden beside the camp.

and asks

Are we doing this right now? Are we living our safe lives as our friends and neighbors are being snatched up and sent to detention centers?

I commend her article to your attention.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
