New space-trucker ID for Arno, fresh off the printer for my free chat-style sci-fi story "Gestrandet", a German learning experience disguised as interstellar chaos. Beat-by-beat, message-by-message.

"The only known #photographs of the #deportation of the #Jewish population in the #German city of #Hamburg have been discovered in a German #police officer’s secret #photo album.
Until now, no visual record of the #deportations from Hamburg was known to exist. But researchers have now identified three photographs taken in October #1941.
For 84 years, these #images remained hidden in the private album of a German #policeman who served in #Unit101 of the #Ordnungspolizei, or “green police,” a unit involved in #deporting and #murdering tens of thousands of #Jews during the #Holocaust."

Learning About #Propaganda and #Disinformation Is More Critical Than Ever! Did you know... On #Facebook, #Instagram and #Threads this year #Meta removed fact-checkers, dramatically reducing content moderation, and promising to recommend more political content https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jan/07/meta-facebook-instagram-threads-mark-zuckerberg-remove-fact-checkers-recommend-political-content
Meanwhile, manipulated media is a threat to everyone. For example, during #German elections in early 2025 #Russian influence operations used #AI to create over 100 fake websites that churned out #propaganda.

“Holy cats, Batman!” is “heilige Katzen, Fledermausmann!” in German. In case you wanted to start using that.
You're welcome.

Not for the first time, this company has got the best marketing team for their TV commercials. The brief must have been "remind middle-aged Germans about their childhood".
The cinematography is insanely good.
