My congresswoman @robinkelly.house.gov is doing a telephone town hall meeting right now, and it just went up from 8,000 people listening to 11,000 people listening in the space of a single Q&A (2% of the district's population!). People ARE active & paying attention. Don't fear you're alone.

In 1841 #Berlin's city border measured exactly 20,090 steps. We know this thanks to the indefatigable Dr Hermann Wollheim who took it upon himself to circumnavigate the city on foot before writing his endlessly fascinating "Attempt at Medical & Statistical Topography of Berlin".

Lovely drawing by the great Heinrich Zille of a poor family getting ready for Christmas in Germany, early 1920s. Only one room, beds in the corner, clothes drying on a line, warming oranges on the stove, cat with a bow-tie, baby sitting on chair with built-in chamber pot, lovely.

Don't think there is a better illustration of AI-in-everything-whether-we-want-it-or-not than an AI bro buying an AI toy for his child who played with it for a bit and then seemed singularly unimpressed with the AI and turned it off. He keeps turning it back on, and she keeps turning it off.

I want to add...it's actually better to repost rather than liking something. That way people who follow you see it, which is really important when there is no algorithm.

In 1868 young civil engineer & keen photographer, Albrecht Meydenbauer, took this photo of central #Berlin: with a maze of narrow streets on both sides of a wider thoroughfare, an old canal cutting through the dense city and church spires growing in the sea of buildings.

Hi there, I am an illustrator with a focus on late medieval costume. I try to breathe some life into centuries old armours and dresses that once gracefully moved. If you want to explore what I do a bit more, start here: eol-art.fr/portfolio/Eo... (warning highres image may go heavy on your device)

As 1 of 1st non-silent films for kids, it also used some revolutionary filming techniques, later said to have been copied by Hitchcock (drugged-candy scene on the train).
