Color in Silent Movies

"Black and white silent movie" is a misnomer as most silent movies had some form of color.

Hand-color: Every frame painted by hand with tiny brushes. Inherited from magic lantern shows.

One of my favorites. Although, like most people, I prefer 'A Trip To The Moon.'
Georges Méliès unsuccessfully battles a wicked fairy in THE KINGDOM OF THE FAIRIES (1903), one of his most elaborate fantasies to date, featuring hand-applied color and a bespoke musical score.

A #squirrel gets gently brushed and clearly enjoys it.
When the scratching stops, it taps for more. This reaction is common in #mammals, as grooming and gentle touch can trigger calming responses and even release endorphins.

Mobility as a Service (#Maas) – in our case it means we design 𝘰𝘶𝘵 inbuilt obsolescence and design 𝘪𝘯 longevity, efficiency and quality without endlessly requiring quantities of new critical materials.

I think people will go for this. And you wouldn't even have to bully the Press over it.

In case you haven't noticed, I'm a fan of hydrogen electric fuel cell vehicles; and particularly a fan of the Riversimple company, based in Wales. I admire both their cars, and the business model of their company.

Repeat Expansion Disorders. Fascinating stuff.
Very excited to see this study out in the world. We made what is (we think?) the first fully-humanized mouse model of a repeat expansion disorder, DRPLA, by replacing an entire copy of muring Atn1 with human ATN1 with 112 pure CAG repeats...
