America Before Pearl Harbor - Early Kodachrome Images

"When we think of America during the Great Depression, we often picture
it in shades of grey. It was a grim era and nearly all of the photographs we
see are in black and white. Color presents an entirely different image."

Photographer to the Tsar: Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii

"The photographs of Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863-1944) offer
a vivid portrait of a lost world--the Russian Empire on the eve of World War I
and the coming revolution. His subjects ranged from the medieval churches
and monasteries of old Russia, to the railroads and factories of an emerging
industrial power, to the daily life and work of Russia's diverse population."

London , Kodachrome by Chalmers Butterfield

"Photo was likely taken at 12:50 PM (or 1350 UMT) - note the clock on
the extreme left on the jewelry store."



"Those shiny cabs are circa 1940. But the big giveaway is the red omnibus.
If you download the hires picture you can see on the front it is advertising
the British airline - BEA."

World War 2 In Color: WWII Movies in Color



"For so many years, historians and casual observers alike have observed
the events of World War II through faded black and white images. What
most people do not know is the fact that quite a large portion of the WWII
was shot using color film!"

Pictures of Austria Hungary Empire

Lots of pictures of Croatian part of the Empire. These two are titled as
"Spalato, Diocletians Palace"and "Fiume, the harbor".

What Happens When You Mail a Letter (Dec, 1951)

"Very cool. This article was written back when they still had a big network
of pneumatic tubes connecting all of the post offices in Manhattan."

no inpact man: What our cities could be

"Imagine the city as one big park! Don't believe me? Look at the pictures of
New York's Park Avenue below. Which do you like? New York with cars or New
York without?"

The amazing pictures of Britain in colour for the very first time

"It was not until 1907 that autochrome - the process through which colour
photographs were first produced - was invented in Paris."

"An exhibition of rare color photographs of occupied Paris in World War Two
has sparked a controversy in France, with some politicians saying it paints
too rosy a picture of life under the Nazis."

r - Joseph Stiglitz: Inequality is now killing middle America

"Labor income is lower than before. Capital owners get bailed out. Suicides,
drugs and alcoholism are rising. Life expectancy is going down for white
Americans. I was Chief Economist of the World Bank and it reminds me of
Russia in the 90s."

r - The Prince by Machiavelli - Why It Is Still So Relevant Today

"It must be considered that there is nothing more difficult to carry out nor
more doubtful of success nor more dangerous to handle than to initiate a
new system; for the reformer has enemies in all those who profit by the old
system, and only lukewarm defenders in all those who would profit by the
new system; this lukewarmness arising partly from the incredulity of man-
kind who does not truly believe in anything new until they actually have
experience of it."

GCD - Machiavelli: Cruelty Well Used

"One of the questions we might ask Machiavelli is how important is glory as
opposed to power? In other words, how do we deal with the fact that some of
these guys who come and kill a lot of people end up being successful? They
have an idea of a society they want to create and they come in with knives
flying and they are able to take over and create that."

Bolsonaro was the most rejected candidate in the entire election, but he was said to be "in the lead" throughout, in terms of votes. The two concepts are in contradiction, but nobody seems to see the problem in that. This is enabled by a bad voting system and the political culture it fosters

It is an interesting and somewhat macabre parlor game to play at a large gathering of one's acquaintances: to speculate who in a showdown would go Nazi. By now, I think I know. I have gone through the experience many times--- in Germany, in Austria, and in France. I have come to know the types: the born Nazis, the Nazis whom democracy itself has created, the certain-to-be fellow-travelers. And I also know those who never, under any conceivable circumstances, would become Nazis.

How the rich reacted to the bubonic plague has eerie similarities to today's pandemic

"Following the 1348 Black Death in Italy, the Italian writer Giovanni Boccaccio
wrote a collection of 100 novellas titled, The Decameron. These stories, though
fictional, give us a window into medieval life during the Black Death -- and how
some of the same fissures opened up between the rich and the poor."
