Die Dokumente zum politischen Alltag von vor 100 Jahren fühlen sich oftmals sehr vertraut an. Quelle: Berliner illustrierte Zeitung (Public Domain) Ausgabe 1920, 29. Jahrgang, Nr. 50 vom 12.12.1920, https://digital.zlb.de/viewer/image/35326221_1920/592/ ; Digitalisat der @zlb

Alles Nötige über Literatur im Übrigen von Walter Serner (~ 1920): „Ich würde mich freuen, zu hören, daß diese Seiten der LETZTE Mist sind, der geschrieben wurde.“

Ao invés de eu mandar o #OpenShot criar o vídeo na resolução de 1920 x 1080, eu tinha selecionado uma opção de 1080 x 1920. 🤡

"A principios del siglo XX, la tasa nacional de mortalidad [por paludismo] estaba en unos 10 fallecidos por cada 100.000 habitantes, pero comenzó a bajar de manera sostenida a partir de 1920. En 1936, se situaba ya en 0,67 fallecidos por cada 100.000 habitantes. Para 1943, la contienda bélica [y fusilar al director de la campaña contra esta enfermedad en 1936] había vuelto a disparar este indicador hasta 6,77 casos por cada 100.000 personas"

LwM output! 'We present a dataset of text from English-language newspaper articles that describe some sort of accident involving machinery. The articles were annotated by volunteers on Zooniverse between 2019 and 2023. The articles were selected from over 20 newspaper titles published between 1835 and 1920.' https://doi.org/10.23636/xrk4-45…

I knew this day would come. The chainsaw has been going all morning. (Even though there is lightning in the area!!)
The former Alberni High School (1920-1952) and Redford Elementary School (1980s) has had a large fir tree on its property likely for that entire time… The tree is at least 80-100 years old.
It was sold a few years ago. I am not speaking ill of the First Nations developer because I actually appreciate what they have done at the property and agree with the development.
This is a failure of City policy not protecting important trees and public spaces that continue to be lost in the City. They provide shade, habitat, and public enjoyment. They are not rotten, they are not at risk of falling or blowing down in a storm.
I don’t understand why people are afraid of trees. 🌲

When John Sayles, then a student at Williams College taking time off from his summer factory job,
was hitchhiking during the summer of 1970 in West Virginia,
it was often coalminers who picked him off the main interstate highways.
At the time, miners were amid the wake of a contentious union election within the United Mine Workers of America.
Fierce tensions had led to the murder of the union reform candidate Joseph Yablonskiand his wife in December 1969.

‘A reminder of why we have unions’: Matewan writer and director on the film’s lessons for the labor movement
John Sayles’s 1987 film, which dramatizes a 1920 labor conflict, shows how class solidarity can overcome prejudice

After undergoing conservation, Francis Newton’s “Iceberg Lake” (1920) is on view for the first time since being acquired in 1970. The painting functions as a transition between the 19th-century landscapes in Turner and the modernist works on view in Nalley South. Although we tend of think of “modernism” as fundamentally urban, many modernist artists made use of elements from traditional and folk art.

Nearby is Georgia O’Keeffe’s “Red Barn, Lake George, New York” (1921), now joined by Guy Carleton Wiggins’ “Wall Street Winter” (ca. 1920). In combining these modernist works with more traditional vernacular pieces, this installation attempts to broaden understandings of early-20th-century American art.
