(Japanese, 1877-1945)
Ohara Koson was a Japanese painter and woodblock print designer of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, part of the shin-hanga ("new prints") movement. Ohara Koson was famous as a master of kachō-e (bird-and-flower) designs. Throughout a prolific career, in which he created around 500 prints, he went by three different titles: Ohara Hōson (小原豊邨), Ohara Shōson (小原祥邨) and Ohara Koson.
He was born Ohara Matao; it is thought that he started training in painting and design at the Ishikawa Prefecture Technical School in 1889–1893. He also studied painting with Suzuki Kason (1860–1919), although accounts differ on whether this happened during his school years or after he moved to Tokyo in the middle to late 1890s.
I tried to find a better source but there wasn't one. The article is at the Bulwark which is Bill Kristol's lib-funded shitrag. I ran out of space in the title. if he does - it will be by the end of the month. See the bit in bold.
Will Trump Invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807 Next? - thebulwark.com
The White House did not respond to a request for comment on whether Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act before April ends.
The Insurrection Act of 1807, which allows the president to deploy U.S. armed forces and the national guard against Americans in situations of civil unrest, was last invoked in 1992 to put down the Rodney King riots after the four white police officers who were filmed beating King were acquitted. The nonpartisan Brennan Center has called the law “dangerously overbroad and ripe for abuse.”

As a reminder, the executive order declaring a national emergency at the southern border framed what is happening there as an “invasion” that threatens “America’s sovereignty” as part of its justification for Trump’s decrees.
“This whole strategy from Trump is really based on the demonization of immigrants and the idea we’re being invaded as justification of all executive orders that are trampling on our civil rights and freedoms,” Vanessa Cárdenas, the executive director of immigrant rights group America’s Voice, told The Bulwark. “They’ve been demonizing immigrants for a long time to psychologically prepare people for these actions, and we need to reject and denounce it.”

If you think of records as platters, you are of a certain age. If you don't remember records at all, you are even younger. But there was a time when audio records were not flat -- they were drums, which was how the original Edison phonograph worked. [Our Own Devices] did a video earlier showing one of these devices, but since it was in a museum, he didn't get to open it up. Lucky for us, he now has one of his own, and we get to see inside in the video below.
Ironically, Edison was deaf yet still invented the phonograph. While he did create the working phonograph -- his self-identified most important invention -- the original invention wasn't commercially viable. You could record and playback audio on tin foil wrapped around a drum. But you couldn't remove the foil without destroying it.
Edison was busy, but another inventor related to Bell created a similar system that used wax cylinders instead of foil. Edison's vision for his invention didn't include popular music, which hurt sales.
If you want to skip the history lesson -- although it is well worth watching -- you can skip to the 9-minute mark. You can hear the machine play and then see the box come off.
Oddly, people were recording things before they were able to play them back. Keeping a machine like this running can be quite a challenge.
