'The Hank McCune Show' - an otherwise unremarkable footnote in American TV history - became the first single-camera sitcom to deploy a pre-recorded laugh track (aka ‘canned laughter') on 9th September, 1950. The giggles and applause came courtesy of Charlie Douglass, who made a career of capturing audience reaction in his ‘laff box', and then expertly sprinkling it across other shows, including Bewitched, The Munsters and The Flintstones.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly look back at Red Skelton's ‘pantomimes', the origin of much of Douglass' recorded laughter; explain why live studio audiences are sometimes even more enthusiastic clappers than pre-recorded ones; and reveal how the Bolshoi Ballet STILL employ professional audience reactionaries… Further Reading:  • ‘The invention of laughter: Charley Douglass and the laff box' (The Verge, 2013): https://www.theverge.com/2013/12/13/5207136/Charley-Douglass-laff-box-laugh-track • ‘How we fell in and out of love with the Laff Box, the laugh track machine that changed sitcoms forever' (ABC, 2020): https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-16/history-of-the-laugh-track-laff-box-charles-douglass/12117866 • ‘How Do Laugh Tracks Work?'

Mientras trabajaba en el Observatorio Vaticano durante la oposición de Marte en 1858, el astrónomo italiano Angelo Secchi notó una gran característica triangular de color azul, a la que él llamó el «Escorpión Azul». Esta misma formación nubosa estacional fue vista por el astrónomo inglés Joseph Norman Lockyer en 1862, y ha sido vista por otros observadores. Durante la oposición de 1862, el astrónomo holandés Frederik Kaiser se dedicó a hacer dibujos de Marte. Al comparar sus ilustraciones con las de Huygens y el filósofo natural inglés Robert Hooke, pudo refinar aún más el período de rotación de Marte. Su valor de 24 horas 37 minutos y 22'6 segundos es preciso dentro de una décima de segundo. En agosto de 1877, el astrónomo estadounidense Asaph Hall descubrió las dos lunas de Marte utilizando un telescopio de 660 mm en el Observatorio Naval de los Estados Unidos.​ Los nombres de los dos satélites, Fobos y Deimos, fueron escogidos por Hall basado en una sugerencia de Henry Madan, un instructor de ciencias en el Eton College en Inglaterra. Durante la oposición de 1877, el astrónomo italiano Giovanni Schiaparelli utilizó un telescopio de 22 cms para ayudar a producir el primer mapa detallado de Marte. Estos mapas contenían características notables a las que llamó canali, que más tarde se demostró que eran una ilusión óptica. Estos canali eran supuestamente rectas largas en la superficie de Marte a las que dio nombres de ríos famosos de la Tierra. Su término canali fue mal traducido en inglés como canales. En 1886, el astrónomo inglés William Frederick Denning observó que estas características lineales eran de naturaleza irregular y mostraban concentraciones e interrupciones. En 1895, el astrónomo inglés Edward Walter Maunder se convenció de que las características lineales eran meramente la suma de muchos detalles más pequeños. Camille Flammarion escribió en su obra La Planète Mars et Ses Conditions d'Habitabilité de 1892, acerca de cómo estos canales se asemejaban a los canales artificiales, y que una raza inteligente podría usarlos para redistribuir el agua a través de un mundo marciano agonizante. Abogó por la existencia de tales habitantes, y sugirió que podían ser más avanzados que los humanos. Comenzando 1901, el astrónomo estadounidense A. E. Douglass intentó fotografiar las características de los canales de Marte. Estos esfuerzos parecían tener éxito cuando el astrónomo estadounidense Carl O. Lampland publicó fotografías de los supuestos canales en 1905. Aunque estos resultados fueron ampliamente aceptados, luego fueron cuestionados por el astrónomo griego Eugène Antoniadi, el naturalista inglés Alfred Russel Wallace y otros como simples rasgos imaginados. A medida que se usaban telescopios más grandes, se observaron menos canali largos y rectos. Durante una observación realizada en 1909 por Flammarion con un telescopio de 84 cm, se observaron patrones irregulares, pero no se observó ningún canali. En la década de 1870 Schiaparelli observó un oscurecimiento superficial causado por nubes amarillas. En 1909, Antoniadi descubrió que Marte parecía más amarillo durante las oposiciones cuando el planeta estaba más cerca del Sol. Sugirió que la causa de las nubes eran arena o polvo soplado por el viento. En 1894, el astrónomo estadounidense William Wallace Campbell encontró que el espectro de Marte era idéntico al espectro de la Luna, poniendo en duda la creciente teoría de que la atmósfera de Marte era similar a la de la Tierra. Las detecciones previas de agua en la atmósfera de Marte fueron explicadas por condiciones desfavorables, y Campbell determinó que la firma del agua provenía enteramente de la atmósfera terrestre. Aunque estuvo de acuerdo en que las capas de hielo indicaban que había agua en la atmósfera, no creía que las capas fueran suficientemente grandes para permitir que se detectara vapor de agua.​ En ese entonces, los resultados de Campbell fueron considerados polémicos y fueron criticados por los miembros de la comunidad astronómica. Aun así, el astrónomo americano Walter Sydney Adams confirmó los resultados en 1925. Utilizando un termopar de vacío conectado al Telescopio Hooker de 2'54 m en el Observatorio del Monte Wilson, en 1924 los astrónomos estadounidenses Seth Barnes Nicholson y Edison Pettit fueron capaces de medir la energía térmica que irradiaba la superficie de Marte. Determinaron que la temperatura variaba desde –68°C en el polo hasta 7°C en el ecuador.​ A partir del mismo año, las medidas de energía radiada de Marte fueron hechas por el físico estadounidense William Coblentz y el astrónomo estadounidense Carl Otto Lampland. Los resultados mostraron que la temperatura nocturna en Marte descendía a –85°C, lo que indica una «enorme fluctuación diurna» en las temperaturas.​ La temperatura de las nubes marcianas se midió en –30°C. En 1926, al medir las líneas espectrales de los movimientos orbitales de Marte y la Tierra, el astrónomo estadounidense Walter Sydney Adams fue capaz de medir directamente la cantidad de oxígeno y vapor de agua en la atmósfera de Marte. Determinó que «las condiciones extremas de desierto» eran frecuentes en Marte.​ En 1934, Adams y el astrónomo americano Theodore Dunham, Jr. encontraron que la cantidad de oxígeno en la atmósfera de Marte era menor de un uno por ciento de la cantidad que hay en una misma área en la tierra. En 1927, el estudiante holandés Cyprianus Annius van den Bosch hizo una determinación de la masa de Marte basada en los movimientos de las lunas marcianas, con una precisión del 0'2%. Este resultado fue confirmado por el astrónomo holandés Willem de Sitter y publicado en 1938. La emisión de rayos X de Marte fue observada por primera vez por los astrónomos en 2001 utilizando el Observatorio Chandra de Rayos X, y en 2003 se demostró que tenía dos componentes. El primer componente es causado por rayos X del Sol que se dispersan en la atmósfera superior de Marte; el segundo proviene de interacciones entre iones que dan lugar a un intercambio de cargas. En 1983, el análisis del grupo de meteoritos de shergottita, nakhlita y chassignita (SNC) mostró que podrían haberse originado en Marte.​ Se cree que el meteorito ALH84001, descubierto en la Antártida en 1984, se originó en Marte, pero tiene una composición totalmente diferente a la del grupo SNC. En 1996, se anunció que este meteorito podría contener evidencia de fósiles microscópicos de bacterias marcianas. Sin embargo, este hallazgo sigue causando controversia. El análisis químico de los meteoritos marcianos encontrados en la Tierra sugiere que la temperatura ambiente cercana a la superficie de Marte ha estado muy probablemente por debajo del punto de congelación del agua durante gran parte de los últimos cuatro mil millones de años.

This Day in Legal History: Frederick Douglass Escapes SlaveryOn this day in legal history, September 3, 1838, Frederick Douglass escaped from slavery, setting in motion a life that would fundamentally reshape American legal and political thought. Disguised as a free Black sailor, Douglass boarded a train in Baltimore and made his way north to freedom, ultimately arriving in New York City. His flight from bondage was not just a personal liberation—it was a direct challenge to the legal regime of American slavery, upheld at the time by both state laws and federal statutes such as the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793. Douglass's successful escape, aided by forged documents and the relative leniency of northern vigilance at the time, highlights the tension between laws protecting property in human beings and the moral and constitutional arguments against such laws.Once free, Douglass became one of the most powerful legal thinkers of the 19th century, though he was never formally trained as a lawyer. Through his speeches, writings, and public advocacy, he shaped legal discourse on citizenship, equal protection, and constitutional interpretation. He directly influenced Reconstruction-era legal developments, including debates over the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments. His 1852 speech “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” offered a searing legal and moral critique of the Constitution's complicity with slavery, while still asserting its potential as a freedom-promoting document when interpreted through a natural rights lens.Douglass's escape, and the career it made possible, also underscored the limits of law in the face of moral justice: in 1838, his very existence in the North was criminal under federal law. That reality would not change until the formal abolition of slavery in 1865. His advocacy helped lay the groundwork for a new legal order that could no longer reconcile itself with the ownership of people. September 3 is not just the anniversary of one man's flight—it marks a turning point in the long legal struggle to align American law with its professed ideals.President Donald Trump is prepared to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold his administration's use of emergency powers to impose broad tariffs, including those targeting fentanyl and “reciprocal” trade imbalances. This follows two significant legal defeats, including a 7-4 ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which found that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not grant the president sweeping tariff authority. The court held that the statute, enacted in 1977, lacks any reference to tariffs among its regulatory tools, creating a serious challenge to the legal basis for Trump's actions.Despite the legal headwinds, Trump's team remains optimistic, noting the conservative 6-3 majority on the Supreme Court and the Court's traditional deference in matters of foreign affairs. However, legal scholars suggest the case hinges on the major questions doctrine, which requires Congress to speak clearly when authorizing executive action with major economic or political impact. This doctrine was previously used to strike down President Biden's student loan forgiveness plan in 2023.Observers expect the Court to address whether IEEPA's silence on tariffs means such powers were never intended. If the Court rules against Trump, his administration is already eyeing fallback legal authorities, including Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act and Section 338 of the Smoot-Hawley Act, to keep tariffs in place. Meanwhile, nearly $66 billion in collected duties could be subject to refunds if importers challenge payments. A Supreme Court decision is likely by early 2026, with significant consequences for presidential trade powers.Trump to ask Supreme Court to save tariffs but faces tough legal questionsA U.S. federal judge ruled that Google can keep its Chrome browser and Android operating system, dealing a blow to antitrust enforcers who had hoped for more aggressive remedies. However, the judge ordered Google to begin sharing key search and advertising data with competitors in an effort to restore competition in online search. This decision follows a five-year legal battle in which Judge Amit Mehta previously found Google to be maintaining an illegal monopoly in search and related advertising. Despite that finding, Mehta declined to force structural changes like breaking up Google, citing recent advances in AI as creating new, organic competition.The ruling is a partial victory for Google and Apple, as it allows the two tech giants to continue their $20 billion annual deal that makes Google the default search engine on Apple devices. It also permits Google to maintain similar agreements with device makers like Samsung and Motorola, although exclusive contracts are now banned. Google stock jumped over 7% in after-hours trading following the decision.The court emphasized that AI companies like OpenAI are already better positioned to compete with Google than traditional search competitors have been in decades. The data-sharing order could benefit developers of AI-powered search tools and browsers, but the competitive impact may not be felt immediately. Google, while considering an appeal, expressed concerns that the order could undermine user privacy.The ruling is likely to be reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court, where Mehta's restrained approach may stand a better chance of surviving appeal. The case is part of a broader government crackdown on Big Tech, which includes ongoing legal battles involving Google, Meta, Amazon, and Apple.Google keeps Chrome and Apple deal but must share data in big antitrust rulingThe U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled that President Donald Trump unlawfully used the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport a group of Venezuelans he alleged were members of the Tren de Aragua gang. In a 2–1 decision, the court issued a preliminary injunction blocking the deportations, marking the first appellate ruling to directly address Trump's invocation of the centuries-old law through a March 14 presidential proclamation.Writing for the majority, Judge Leslie Southwick rejected the administration's claim that the gang's presence constituted a "predatory incursion" under the law, which only authorizes deportations during times of declared war or invasions. The court emphasized that neither condition was met. Judge Irma Carrillo Ramirez joined Southwick, while Trump appointee Judge Andrew Oldham dissented.The ruling is a setback for the Trump administration, which had sought to use the Alien Enemies Act—a wartime measure—to conduct swift removals of alleged gang members without traditional due process. The Supreme Court had already intervened in May, halting removals on procedural grounds and criticizing the administration for providing only 24 hours' notice to detainees without clear instructions on how to contest deportation.The American Civil Liberties Union, representing the Venezuelans, hailed the decision as a vital check on presidential power, warning against executive overreach during peacetime. Legal experts expect the issue to eventually return to the Supreme Court. The administration may first seek a rehearing from the full Fifth Circuit.US appeals court rejects Trump's use of Alien Enemies Act to deport VenezuelansThe 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a lower court ruling that had declared the federal machine gun ban unconstitutional, upholding the long-standing prohibition on such weapons. The case centered on Tamori Morgan, a Kansas man charged with possessing a machine gun and a conversion device known as a "Glock switch." A federal judge in Wichita, appointed by President Donald Trump, had previously dismissed the charges, citing the Supreme Court's 2022 Bruen decision, which required modern gun laws to align with the nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation.The appeals court, however, found that Bruen did not dismantle the existing legal framework established in District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), which protects weapons “in common use” for lawful self-defense. Writing for the unanimous three-judge panel, Judge Scott Matheson held that machine guns do not meet that standard and are primarily used for unlawful purposes, even if their usage is more widespread than official data suggests.Congress first regulated machine guns in 1934 and fully banned the possession of newly manufactured ones in 1986. The appellate ruling reinforces the idea that such weapons fall outside the Second Amendment's protections, despite recent expansions of individual gun rights. The court emphasized that even under Bruen, regulations do not require a perfect historical match—only a relevant analogue, which the machine gun ban has.US appeals court upholds machine gun ban, reversing trial judgeMy column for Bloomberg this week takes a hard look at the newly expanded federal Child Tax Credit (CTC) and asks whether it's really doing what it claims: reducing child poverty. On the surface, the policy looks like progress. The maximum credit is up to $2,200 and now indexed to inflation—something advocates have long called for. But dig into the mechanics, and a more troubling picture emerges.Despite the expansion, around 19 million children—28% of all kids in the U.S.—will remain ineligible for the full credit simply because their families don't earn enough. That's not a glitch; it's built into the law. The income phase-in structure means the poorest families, those most in need, get the least. In fact, a family of four has to make $41,500 to qualify for the full benefit—well above the federal poverty line of $32,150.This flawed design disproportionately affects Black, Latino, and Native American children, as well as kids in single-parent and rural households. And it's a bipartisan failure: Columbia University's data shows the exclusions cut across red and blue congressional districts almost evenly. That's part of what makes this so frustrating—lawmakers on both sides get to claim credit for “expanding” the CTC, even as millions of children continue to be left behind.Meanwhile, states are quietly filling the gap. Since the expiration of the more generous pandemic-era CTC in 2021, about a dozen states have implemented their own refundable credits. The results speak volumes. In Minnesota, for example, a $1,750 per-child credit is projected to lift 13,000 children out of poverty—nearly half the impact of the expanded federal credit in that state. Colorado and Vermont have seen similar success.The message here is that small, targeted, refundable state credits can work—and are working. Columbia's numbers prove that these policies are more than symbolic; they're helping real families. But that momentum could vanish if states assume Washington has solved the problem. The federal version may dominate headlines, but it's the state-level credits doing the actual heavy lifting.Tax policy doesn't usually offer much moral clarity, but this time it does. States have the tools to fight child poverty. The only real question is whether they'll use them—or wait around for Congress to deliver another “big, beautiful” fix that never arrives.Trump's New Child Tax Credit Deems Millions ‘Too Poor' to Qualify This is a public episode.

In Engendering Blackness: Slavery and the Ontology of Sexual Violence (Stanford UP, 2025) Patrice D. Douglass interrogates the relationship between sexual violence and modern racial slavery and finds it not only inseverable but also fundamental to the structural predicaments facing Blackness in the present. Douglass contends that the sexual violability of slaves is often misappropriated by frameworks on sexual violence that privilege its occurrences as a question of ethics, sexual agency, and feminine orders of gendering. Rather, this book foregrounds Blackness as engendered by sexual violence, which forcefully (re)produces Blackness, corporeally and conceptually, as a condition that lacks the capacity to ontologically distinguish its suffering from what it means to be human. By employing and critically revising Black feminist theory and Afro-pessimism, Douglass reveals that engaging primarily with the sexualization of the slave forces theories of sexual violence to interrogate why this violence—one of the most prevalent under slavery—continues to lack a grammar of fundamental redress. There are no reparations struggles for the generational transfer of sexual violation and the inability of present frameworks to rectify the sexual stains of slavery lies precisely in the fact that what made this history possible continues to haunt arrangements of life today. Engendering Blackness urgently articulates the way our present understandings of Blackness and humanness are bound by this vexed sexual history.

Frederick Douglass made the strongest arguments for abolition in antebellum America because he made the case that abolition was not a mutation of the Founding Father’s vision of America, but a fulfillment of their promises of liberty for all. He had a lot riding on this personally – Douglas was born into slavery in Maryland around 1818, escaped to the North in 1838, and became a renowned public speaker in Europe and the United States, captivating audiences with his powerful oratory and firsthand accounts of enslavement. Initially, in the 1840s, Douglass denounced the United States as a hypocritical nation that failed to uphold its ideals of liberty due to its support of slavery. He was part of the same radical abolitionist faction as William Lloyd Garrison, who publicly burned a copy of the U.S. Constitution in 1854 a Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society event, calling it “a covenant with death” and “an agreement with hell” due to its protections for slavery. But by the 1850s, Douglas’s views evolved to see the Constitution as an antislavery document that could be leveraged to fulfill the promise of freedom for all. His transformation reflected a strategic shift, advocating for reform within the system while maintaining his fierce commitment to abolishing slavery and securing equal rights. He was also a critic of Abraham Lincoln who later became friends with the president. Douglass disagreed with Abraham Lincoln's initial hesitancy to prioritize abolition and his gradual approach to emancipation, but agreed with Lincoln's eventual commitment to the Emancipation Proclamation and the use of Black soldiers in the Civil War, seeing these as critical steps toward ending slavery and aligning with the Constitution's promise of liberty. In “Measuring the Man: The Writings of Frederick Douglass on Abraham Lincoln,” Jonathan W. White, today’s guest, assembled Frederick Douglass’s most meaningful and poignant statements about Abraham Lincoln, including a dozen newly discovered documents that have not been seen for 160 years. We see the anger Douglass directed at Lincoln throughout much of the Civil War as he moved slowly, but methodically, toward emancipation. Douglass’s writings also reveal how three personal interactions between these two led to powerful feelings of friendship and mutual admiration. After Lincoln’s assassination—as Jim Crow laws spread across the South—Douglass expressed greater appreciation for Lincoln’s statesmanship during the Civil War and praised him as a model for postwar America.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The year 2018 marks the 200th anniversary of Frederick Douglass' birth. It can hardly be said that scholars have neglected Douglass; indeed, he is one of the most written-about figures in American history. But not all aspects of Douglass' thought have received their due. One such blank spot in what might be called “Douglass Studies” concerns his political philosophy. Williams College scholar Dr. Neil Roberts' new edited volume, A Political Companion to Frederick Douglass (University Press of Kentucky, 2018), helps to fill this lacuna in Douglass scholarship. Adam McNeil is a PhD student in History, African American Public Humanities Initiative and Colored Conventions Project Scholar at the University of Delaware.

In this explosive episode, Josie sits down with Douglass Mackey — the former economist-turned-meme war veteran who faced federal prosecution for a joke. Mackey made headlines after being convicted for sharing a satirical meme about Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election — a conviction that was later overturned after a fierce legal battle with the Biden Justice Department. Josie dives deep with Douglass as he breaks down what the meme actually said, what inspired it, and how things spiraled into a full-blown federal case. He walks us through the moment he knew something was off, the shocking details of his arrest, the surreal charges, and what it was like to stand trial in a case many saw as politically motivated. They explore the aftermath of his conviction, his experience on bond, and how it felt to finally defeat the government in court. Now a free man, Douglass opens up about the personal toll, the weaponization of the justice system, and what comes next.

This week Chelsea after some long and deep thought has decided to bring up infamous man Shaun King. He has gone by many names but he is a fraud and a sham clearly from his history.

He has gone by such names like: Alexander Scamilton, Scamuel L Jackson, WEB DeFraud, Talcolm X, Chaka Con, Crooker T Washington, Wack Panther and many many more.

In this episode we dive deep into the economics of digital markets with Dirk Bergemann. We discuss how search platforms like Google created entirely new marketplaces around user attention and private information, what makes digital markets so unique, and how auction design evolved to match the scale and complexity of internet advertising.

Among others, his research is focused on economics of digital markets - especially those shaped by search engines and advertising auctions.

Marketing technology is meant to simplify growth, but too often, it creates more problems than it solves. Disconnected systems, clunky integrations, and AI tools that require constant tweaking leave businesses buried in inefficiency. Instead of freeing up time, the tech stack becomes another hurdle, demanding more effort just to keep things running. The real advantage isn't just having AI—it's having a system that actually works together, turning data into action without the extra headache. Robert Douglass, a seasoned technologist and founder of Open Strategy Partners, has over 20 years of experience in software and open source. He authored the first Drupal book, spoke before the European Parliament on copyright reform, and produced the Open Goldberg Variations. Today, he introduces the Model Context Protocol, explaining how AI can integrate across platforms to streamline marketing workflows and boost productivity for businesses. His insights highlight the future of AI-driven efficiency in tech and entrepreneurship. Stay tuned! Resources: Open Strategy Partners | Your tech is complex. Your message shouldn't be.
