Long before the introduction of color film, a Russian chemist and photographer named Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky used an innovative technique. He took three individual black and white photos, each through a colored filter (red, green, and blue), to create fully colored, high-quality pictures. The photo of this woman, taken by him, is around 107 years old!
No wait I looked this guy up and this shit’s amazing
It’s so incredibly humanizing to see people from the very distant past in such authentic color
And like. look at these landscape shots!! They’re so vivid!! Even aside from the historical value, these are just legitimately beautiful photographs
Why hasn’t this been done before?
You know why.

Hey, if anyone’s curious, this IS making a serious impact — this handbook was taught as standard practice for my EMT license course, as well as several other programs. A lot of new providers are being taught this as a matter of course.
I just want to let you guys know Cornell's entire library is open access (no permissions required) and there are (shocker) many books...
Verified: Microsoft 365 gets massive 45% price hike — and it's all to do with AI tools (Tom's Guide - January 17, 2025)
oopsie i tripped and spilled my link to archive dot org's downloadable copy of Microsoft office suite for 2007, which features no AI tools and is a powerful word processor that still holds up just fine on windows 10!
a MASSIVE amount of manga series (at least 140, and still counting) just got nuked from MangaDex from DMCA.
some of them have no official english availability.
It’s important to note that official translations are not hosted on mangadex unless 1) the official publisher has the chapter up for free (and it links to their site, not mangadex btw) or 2) the manga is out of print and the license has expired.
Mangadex was doing their best to be by the book only for a bunch of Japanese publishers to try to nuke their site like they’ve been doing for every other anime/manga resource.
(5/15/2025) UPDATE: as of writing this, OVER 700 (that we know of) manga series have been hit.
Here's a massive google sheet with the list, as well as the reddit post I got it from.
Needless to say, this fucking sucks (understatement).
Oooo that's a good idea
kosher, too!
truly halal and kosher slaughter and preparation REQUIRE safety inspections.
I was planning on reducing my meat intake regardless of administration, but thankfully I have several halal places near me for when I want flesh.
it’s like there’s a reason rules exist around food being clean and acceptable for consumption

Let's take a moment to appreciate just how amazing the title cards were for Batman the Animated Series.
Oh! I actually know what made these look so iconic!
The backgrounds for the entire series were done on black paper, a first for any animated show. It's Batman, which means everything is at night and incredibly dark. So, the majority of the backgrounds were going to be black anyways and using black paper would cut down on the time it took to create all of the backgrounds. Adding color over the black paper instead of the traditional method gave it a much more stylized look that helped make it iconic.
It also forced some other creative choices, such as using an airbrush to do all of the background art. During the early testing, they found that using an airbrush was easier to apply paint with than a paintbrush and that it looked better. Airbrushing let them be more experimental with painting techniques, such as the spattery fades you can see in the "Bane" and "Deep Freeze" title cards above or the soft, deeply shadowed face on "the Last Laugh." The overall effect of airbrushing on a black background is a much darker, moodier vibe than could be achieved with a traditional approach.
They cared very deeply about the art of the show and how they were going to create it. It wasn't just about the story or the character. In the words of co-creator Eric Radomski: "As opposed to making shows just to sell toys, we've made quality films."

btw this isn’t like a change.org or other third party petition, this is a petition that goes straight to the canadian government. there is an actual shot at revoking musk’s citizenship here.
to be clear, this also means that it can be signed by canadian citizens and residents only otherwise it would be invalidated
Several documentaries publically treating Luigi Mangione as guilty before his trial even started got released over the past 2 months.
Here's the billion dollar companies behind them.
while this is a completely valid warning... i just want to take a second to remind everyone that you could literally say this about almost any movie, documentary or piece of media made since 2011. 90% of the United States media is controlled by 6 companies who create over 50% of the content.
and if you want to take it a step further because Vanguard and BlackRock were listed on the original graphic, their reach is lightyears beyond just media. BlackRock and/or Vanguard are among the three largest institutional investors for 505 out of 505 of the S&P 500. (100%). one or the other is the single largest institutional investor in 422 of these (84%). they, along with State Street, control about 23% of the votes of the S&P 500 single-class companies.
the truth is that virtually all corporate-backed media that you consume in 2025 from top to bottom is going to be subject to the oversight of the board of directors for one of these 6 mega billionaire-controlled companies. you should have that fact in mind basically at all times.
