The tramp and the public meet for the first time - Cinema would never be the same.

Charlie Chaplin’s second film for the Keystone Studios, his first as his creation “the tramp”. Though technically his tramp character stepped in front of a movie camera first on “Mabel’s Strange Predicament” though released two days after “Kid Auto Races at Venice” released February 7th 1914.

"Kid Auto Races at Venice" - this is the second film in which Charlie Chaplin appeared. It was filmed in 1914 and directed by Henry Lehrman. The film was made during the Junior Vanderbilt Cup, an actual race. The characters played by Chaplin and Lehrman improvise gags in the presence of real observers (not actors).

The film "Kid Auto Races at Venice" is extremely important as a comedy in which viewers first saw Chaplin's character - the Tramp. It is also invaluable because it gives you the opportunity to learn about the first audience's reaction to Chaplin's character - the motor racing spectators - and their reactions to his comic antics. In the improvised film (allegedly shot in just forty-five minutes), a comical situation occurs in which Tramp constantly disturbs the cameraman. At first, viewers don't know what to make of this funny boy. Is he really a nuisance? As the action continues, their surprise turns into real fun. Unlike other screen comedians, Chaplin immediately creates oneness with his audience. It was a kind of film experiment.

The Valley of Fear: Darkness

Here are some examples of tweed suits:

These suits were commonplace at the time as outerwear as they coped well with the British climate; remember this is January and it can be quite cold even though snow is pretty uncommon these days in Southern England.

Police tape did not come around until the 1960s. Until then, crime scene security involved police officers standing guard, a rather hard task in the countryside.

A mare is a female horse.

The Pennsylvania Small Arm Company is fictitious. T

he main firearms company out of the Keystone State today is the Kahr Firearms Group, who moved there from New York in 2014 when the latter state tightened up its firearms laws. It having bought up the Auto-Ordnance Company and Magnum Research, it is the company that sells the Desert Eagle for those who want oversized handguns and also semi-automatic versions of the Thompsons submachine gun, including the 50-round magazines. Individuals cannot purchase weapons from them directly though; you have to go through an authorised firearms dealer. They do not do shotguns, sawed-off or otherwise.

Aberdonian refers to Aberdeen, one of Scotland's eight cities. It is known as the Granite City due to the use of it there during the Victorian era and is the hometown of Annie Lennox.

A rampant lion or lion rampant is a heraldic lion standing upright with its paws raised:

They are common on coats of arms. As the symbol of the Kingdom of Scotland, they feature more than once on both the UK and Scottish royal coat of arms, including one wearing the Tudor and Scottish Crowns respectively:

It is possible to drown in an inch of water, but that generally requires losing consciousness first.

Anyway, blotting paper was widely used at the time:

There have been voluntary bike registration schemes set up in various countries to assist in theft recovery:

There is no requirement to pay road tax on pedal bikes - unlike motorbikes. However, taking them on holiday to France could lead to issues with Customs; it still can in some cases since Brexit.

Dangerous Romance Ep 12 (Finale) Stray Thoughts

Last week, Sailom continued to baffle me by refusing to accept literally anyone’s help and then cried in a shower as he thanked Kanghan because he thought he was all alone 😑. Name is apparently “not that bad” because he pulled a gun on his boss in the dumbest way possible and then showed up at the hospital to shoot his boss before he could kill Kanghan’s dad. I think Kanghan got shot??

How is Sailom still falling for Kanghan’s obvious pranks?

Why are they all here? Bruh, Kanghan got shot. You got shot at. They wanna check on you guys!

So they went with Kong getting show as Saifah tried to wrestle the gun from the Boss.

The father and son reconciliation lands fine. Facing mortality can give much-needed perspective.

What in the Bangkok Love Story (2007) is this “I’ll be waiting for you” that Saifah has with Name?

Nothing lets the people know we’re all doing better than the high drama of SPORTS.

How dare they tease me about Max and Auto’s potential like this at the end?

Pimfah is going to visit an island nation that turned the entire countryside into lawns, while eliminating large predators and other keystone critters, to study environmental preservation? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!

Guy and Nawa making a competition out of this confession into a makeout actually feels so correct for them.

Okay, the grandma and dad walking off work Sailom was funny.

Now, why is Kanghan giving this speech?

Did you think we were getting out of this finale without referencing the heavy-handed windmill motif? Don't be a fool! What is this In & Out (1997) graduation speech??

So I guess that harrowing either or choice about studying with that senior from the open house just didn't matter, eh? Consistent!

Look at them just filming kids. Bad idea.

They're really want me to buy into these lesbian crumbs at the end.

Why the fuck are they suddenly giving Sailom a voiceover about equality and the fact that he can't escape his fate? Y'all abandoned that shit over two months ago!

Oh, we pulled the drone out for this kiss and pan for the windmill farm? Sure.

....this tag is escort roleplay... I have questions.

He got into this tub with all his clothes on. What in the A Shoulder to Cry On is happening??

Final Verdict: 3, This Was Not It. I absolutely did not enjoy watching this show at all for the last ten episodes. This show does not take Sailom or poverty seriously. This show was high-key offensive the entire time. The show wants to do this thing with people with means interacting with those without, but they do it in such a slapdash way and primarily from the perspective of the wealthy that it comes off as deeply condescending. To make matters worse, Perth and Chimon's chemistry did not come through to save this at all. After two outings in high school this year together, I'm just not into them as a pair. We thought they would be strong together, but I am not impressed. I do not recommend this show at all if you wanna take any part of it seriously. If you just wanna look at faces it might be fine, but this was not the fun kind of trash I can enjoy. One fucking chop.

Post Human Studies: Homo Radiogensis

Homo Radiogensis do not have any common name I can use in this lecture that does not have an extremely negative connotation. Homo Radiogensis are one of many post human species and among a select grouping that have emerged artificially. As a reminder, the key definition of a "post human" species is that it has its roots generic roots at least partially in homo spaiens and post human cultures most similarly have their roots in cultural groups that existed within human space before the Galactic Springtime. It is possible to be post human culturally but not specially and post human specially but not culturally.

Thankfully for today's studies, Homo Radiogensis fulfills both critiea. Homo Radiogensis owes it's orgin to a group of humans known as the 'icenecks'. Icenecks were extreme survivalists who lived on the edge of society mining asteroids and meteors for that most precious of substances: water. That culture that flourished as extreme isolationists, only interacting with the greater galactic community when needed to deliver ice to their planet and station bound clientele. Spicers had already grown into the wider subspecies known as homo sapien inanis, one of the first subspecies to evolve a true adaptations to the void in devoid of almost any form of melanin long soft bones soft by bone standards not truly soft as would evolve in later generations, and and decreased muscle mass.

It was from this particular crop of humans did the first homo radiogensis take form. The isolationism and survivalism of their culture saw any form of accepting help from outside as anathema to all that they stood for. It was at this time that one of the Iceneck's number rediscovered the properties of Deinococcus Radiodurans while cleaning out a hydroponics lap. Deinococcus Radiodurans is able to synthesis celluaral energy from radiation alone - at least that is how that icenecks related it and understood it. At once readily available genetic manipulation technology because you be used to modify at first one clan with these genes making them less dependent upon hydroponics. In the sector of space of that they were in this triggered a genetic arms race of other icenecks incorporating genetics from xenobacteria, xenofaun, xenofungi, as well as their Earthbound equivalents into their genetics for the ultimate arms race of being the most independent and free from influence, shells made of lead began to be introduced as bones withered away so that nothing but the feeding portions would be expoded to radiation in some clans while others embraced tht destruction of their skeletaal system entirely.

Homo Radiogensis is an incredibly phenotypical diverse species but some common traits include fingers that stretch upwards of three meters, extreme expanded craniums, withered eyes and bones, radio- auto- and homophagi being incredibly common traits, reinforced teeth to be able to protect their dwellings, mergers with whatever technology remains on their derelict stations, and a stiff phobia of those from outside their immediate area.

Homo radiophagi often form the backbone of whatever voidborne ecosystem they can be found in acting as a keystones species yet their appearance and often fierce territoriality has lead to them being cast as well as a boogeyman in many cultures stories about abandoned wrecks or stations that are floating between the void.

Should you ever find one between the stars, ensure it is truly empty. Though homo radiophagi maintenance independent spirits I have never known one to be adverse to adding more resources to their foodweb.

The Conversation: The importance of shining a light on hidden toxic histories

Indianapolis proudly claims Elvis’ last concert, Robert Kennedy’s speech in response to Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination, and the Indianapolis 500. There’s a 9/11 memorial, a Medal of Honor Memorial and a statue of former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning.

What few locals know, let alone tourists, is that the city also houses one of the largest dry cleaning Superfund sites in the U.S.

From 1952 to 2008, Tuchman Cleaners laundered clothes using perchloroethylene, or PERC, a neurotoxin and possible carcinogen. Tuchman operated a chain of cleaners throughout the city, which sent clothes to a facility on Keystone Avenue for cleaning. It was also the location where used solution was stored in underground tanks.

Inspectors noted the presence of volatile organic compounds from leaking tanks and possible spills as early as 1989. By 1994, an underground plume had spread to a nearby aquifer. By the time the EPA became involved in 2011, the underground chemical plume had seeped more than a mile underneath a residential area, reaching a well that supplies drinking water to the city.

When geographer Owen Dwyer, earth scientist Gabe Filippelli and I investigated and wrote about the social and environmental history of dry cleaning in Indianapolis, we were struck by how few people outside of the dry cleaning and environmental management fields were aware of this environmental damage.

There are no markers or memorials. There is no mention of it – or any other accounts of contamination – in Indianapolis’ many museums. This kind of silence has been called “environmental amnesia” or “collective forgetting.”

Societies celebrate heroes and commemorate tragedies. But where in public memory is environmental harm? What if people thought about it not only as a science or policy problem, but also as a part of history? Would it make a difference if pollution, along with biodiversity loss and climate change, was seen as part of our shared heritage?

The slow violence of contamination

Environmental harm often takes place gradually and out of sight, and this could be one reason why there’s so little public conversation and commemoration. In 2011, Princeton English professor Rob Nixon came up with a term for this kind of environmental degradation: slow violence.

As underground storage tanks leak, shipwrecks corrode, coal ash ponds seep and forever chemicals spread, the creeping pace of poisoned soil and water fails to garner the attention that more dramatic environmental disasters attract.

Certain interests benefit from hiding the costs of pollution and its remediation. Sociologists Scott Frickel and James R. Elliott have studied urban pollution, and they highlight three reasons for its pervasiveness and persistence.

First, in cities, small factories, auto repair shops, dry cleaners and other light industries sometimes only stay open for a decade or two, making it challenging to regulate them and track their environmental impacts over time. By the time contamination is discovered, many facilities have long been shuttered or purchased by new owners. And the polluters have a direct financial interest in not being connected with it, since they could be held liable and forced to pay for cleanup.

Similarly, urban neighborhoods tend to have shifting demographics, and local residents are often not aware of historical pollution.

Finally, it can simply be politically expedient to look the other way and ignore the consequences of pollution. Cities may be concerned that publicizing toxic histories discourage investment and depress property values, and politicians are hesitant to fund projects that may have a long-term benefit but short-term costs. Indianapolis, for example, tried for decades to avoid mitigating the raw sewage flowing into the White River and Fall Creek, arguing it was too expensive to deal with. Only when required by a consent decree did the city start to address the problem.

Toxic legacies are also difficult to track because their effects may be hidden by distance and time. Anthropologist Peter Little traced the outsourcing of electronics waste recycling, which is shipped from the places where electronics are bought and used, to countries such as Ghana, where labor is cheap and environmental regulations lax.

Then there are the toxic traces of military conflicts, which linger long after the fighting has stopped and troops have returned home. Historian and geologist Daniel Hubé has documented the long-term environmental impact of World War I munitions.

At the end of the war, unused and unexploded bombs and chemical weapons had to be disposed of. In France, at a site known as Place à Gaz, hundreds of thousands of chemical weapons were burned. Today, the soils have been found to have extraordinarily high levels of arsenic and other heavy metals.

More than a century after the end of the war, little grows on the contaminated, barren land.

Toxic tours and teaching moments

There’s a growing movement to make toxic histories more visible.

In Providence, Rhode Island, artist Holly Ewald founded the Urban Pond Procession to call attention to Mashapaug Pond, which was contaminated by a Gorham Silver factory. She worked with community partners to create wearable sculptures, puppets and giant fish, all of which were carried and worn in an annual parade that took place from 2008 to 2017.

Cultural anthropologist Amelia Fiske collaborated with artist Jonas Fischer to create the graphic novel “Tóxico,” which will be published in 2024. It depicts petroleum pollution in the Ecuadorian Amazon, as well as the struggles of those fighting for environmental justice.

Toxic tours can educate the public about the histories, causes and consequences of environmental harm. For example, Ironbound Community Corporation in Newark, New Jersey, offers a tour of severely contaminated sites, such as the location of the former Agent Orange factory, where the sediment in the sludge is laced with the carcinogen dioxin. The tour also goes by a detention center that’s built on a brownfield, which has only undergone industrial-level remediation because that’s the standard all prisons are held to.

In 2017, the Humanities Action Lab organized “Climates of Inequality,” a traveling exhibit co-curated by more than 20 universities and local partners exploring environmental issues affecting communities around the world. The exhibit brings attention to polluted waterways, the impacts of climate change, ecological damage on Indigenous lands and the ways in which immigrant agricultural workers experience heat stress and chronic pesticide exposure. The exhibits also explore the affected communities’ resilience and advocacy.

These stories of pollution and contamination, and their effects on people’s health and livelihoods, represent only a sampling of current efforts to curate toxic heritage. As sociologist Alice Mah writes in her foreword to “Toxic Heritage”: “Reckoning with toxic heritage is an urgent collective task. It is also unsettling work. It requires confronting painful truths about the roots of toxic injustice with courage, honesty, and humility.”

I see public commemoration of hidden toxic histories as a way to push back against denial, habituation and amnesia. It creates a space for public conversation, and it opens up possibilities for a more just and sustainable future.
