Was walking my dogs at sunrise this morning, stunned by the beauty of the world while being crushed by sadness over what we are doing to it. The dissonance was profound.

On this day in 1916, the Battle of Verdun kicked off in France, the longest single battle of the War to End All Wars. 10 months later, it ground to a halt, at a cost of 700k casualties including 300k dead, and the obliteration of 9 villages and surrounding areas. So it goes.

Watching documentaries about events leading up to World War II hits very differently now than even a month ago. Given the amount of information available, and the bright people who have been pulling the fire alarm for years now, it's absolutely mind blowing that we have chosen this path again.

It appears that in recent years, enough people have TL;DR'd the unpleasant little corporal with the funny moustache.

When my dad told me decades ago that after a while, enough people will say the holocaust never existed to make a difference, I assumed he was referring specifically to the Third Reich's atrocities, not the wholesale reimagining of truth in the first part of the 21st century.
