"Gershom Scholem brought kabbalism from the shadows into the lamplight of scholarship. He is the real-life protagonist in Steve Stern’s #novel, A Fool’s Kabbalah; Menke Klepfisch is the novel’s fictional protagonist, and they make an odd pairing. Scholem is traveling #postwar #Europe in search of looted #Jewish #books while, several years earlier, Klepfisch lives in a #Polish #shtetl, a holy fool who finds himself entertaining #Nazi occupiers with his antics."

Shepherd Express · A Fool’s Kabbalah by Steve SternReal-life scholar Gershom Scholem and fictional holy fool Menke Klepfisch are parallel protagonists in a novel that recalls Dostoevsky as well as Isaac Bashevis Singer.

Today in Labor History March 25, 1919: Cossack troops murdered 4,000 Jews in the Tetiev pogrom in Ukraine, two-thirds of the Jewish population. They tossed infants into the air and dashed their bodies on the pavement and burned the Jewish quarter to the ground. The Tetiev pogrom would become the prototype of mass murder during the Holocaust. During the Russian Civil War, from 1918 to 1921, there were 1,236 violent attacks against Jews in 524 Ukrainian towns. 30,000-60,000 died in these pogroms. The Ukrainian People's Republic army, Ukrainian warlords, the Red Army and the Polish Army all participated in anti-Jewish pogroms.

The Wailing Wall, a memorial to the victims of the Tetiyev pogroms of 1919-1920. Shows a large Star of David, with a with a candelabra in the center, against a large stone wall, with a plaque. By Валерій Гриша - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=91850085

Hey #Linux community, I seek wisdom:

Normally for #Polish symbols you hold right alt and press a corresponding letter.

Certain #houseGremlin messed the keyboard layouts hard while trying to make any #screenKeyboard work on #KDE #Manjaro #Wayland.

I recovered and have proper keyboard layouts set up, but right alt no longer invokes Polish symbols. Instead it calls menu entries specific for an application running.
I really can't nuke this system.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Polishing the glider's paint - a brief experiment with an electric dual-action polisher on a test piece.

I used a coarse foam disk and cutting/buffing (not polishing) compound. The machine was at the lowest speed and light pressure was used for a minute or two.

This is a promising follow up to: universeodon.com/@KrajciTom/11

The difference in surface prep was obvious. Where the paint had been sanded with 1200, the surface gained a gloss almost instantly. If the surface was sanded with 600, it remained hazy. Those sections only sanded with 400 were very hazy, even with more polishing time and a bit more pressure.

It looks like I'll hand sand to 1200, then use the electric polisher.

I just had an idea. If I build a bracket/clamp to hold the polisher upside down, I can hold small parts and better control the process.

Brief experiments with machine polishing on surfaces sanded with different grits. Even with only a minute of polishing, those sections that were sanded with 1200 grit became glossy quickly. The reflection of the light is not at a glancing angle. I'm figuring out how to manage the sanding and polishing process.
I will build a bracket/clamp to hold the electric polisher upside down...to allow me to hold small parts and better control the polishing process.

"Barbarian #trump appeasing barbarian #putin?"

#Polish Prime Minister #Tusk indirectly criticized the #US for attempting to “appease the barbarians” following another wave of #Russian strikes on #Ukraine that claimed civilian lives.

“This is what happens when someone tries to appease the barbarians. More bombs, more aggression, more deaths. Another tragic night for #Ukraine,” #Tusk stated.
