Context "Tribune Content Agency: editorial cartoons for 1 November 2020" https://www.oregonlive.com/galleries/SAZDLUWBZ5E73P6M3AH3PKHABY/ The circle, which Biden is standing inside (which is only partially visible in this cropped-image version) seems to be a reference to #ConditionVirusCOVID19PandemicMitigation measures, which he/his team adopted in the lead up to the 3rd November 2020 presidential elections e.g. [fact-checked]
Addendum curiously, this is despite the overt pessimism of Trump's #TheoryDeclinism #PleaMAGA (Make America Great *Again*) mantra i.e. that America needs to be saved from a #MetaphorThreatGeneralisedNonSpecific. And presumably, "The End Is Near" statement is a reference to #PhenomnClimateChangeAnthropogenic etc. and not the (positive) potential of #PhenomnEnergyRenewableGreenEnergy as they have the potential to mitigate at least some of its consequences. #NarrativeUtopiaEschatologyApocalypticismTheEndIsNigh #MetaphorSignSandwichBoard

Context #NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimesJaceyFortin "The derailment of a Norfolk Southern train that spilled toxic chemicals and led to a controlled burn of the substances in East Palestine, Ohio, has become one of the highest-profile -- and most politicized -- incidents of its kind in the United States in recent years." https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/28/us/ohio-train-derailment-east-palestine.html

@LarrySilverton [name pseudonymized] [ontology] : Σκήνη απο την ταινία Die Hard 3 οταν κυκλοφόρησε στα σινεμα. Οταν κυκλοφόρησε σε DVD η σκηνή αυτή επεξεργάστηκε ψηφιακά και έγραφε πλέον "I hate everybody" Woke much? #woke #wokeness [URL redacted]
"Scene from the movie Die Hard 3 when it was released in cinemas. When released on DVD this scene was digitally edited and now read 'I hate everybody' Woke much?"
Addendum #PhenomnRevisionRemake and even #TheoryDeterminismHistoricalPresentism ? To explain, the tweet seems to be concerned with supposed media censorship. Given this, the frame here has been taken from a story fiction i.e. it wasn't real. And so, any effort to revise it can't be interpreted as censorship because doing so necessitates that the original was true (and not a fiction) in the first place. Additionally, using such an example as evidence of supposed censorship can be seen as an effort to advance a 'presentism' argument through justifying present-day criticism of cultural sensitivities through contrasting these with an insensitive example from the past. Significantly, this form of argument fails to recognise that meaning contained within cultural expressions, such as films etc. change and evolve over time; by their nature of being products of culture - unless you're seeking to claim that culture is in some way stable and fixed in the first place i.e. #PleaAWorldOfSimpleStableFixedOperations #TheorySociologySocialInertia ?
#OtheringCaricatureSlaveryNWord #1995_DieHardWithAVengeance
Context "Zeus Carver (Jackson) is a shop-owner, who rescues McClane from the first of Simon's tasks: sending the cop on a walk through Harlem, sporting a sandwich-board which reads 'I hate niggers.' This angle, played largely for laughs, is one which likely seems in worse taste now than it did then. [Though when shot on location, the sign was blank - the text was digitally added later, and on TV broadcasts, typically reads 'I have everybody']" https://filmblitz.org/die-hard-with-a-vengeance-1995/ #IRLActorBruceWillis #IRLActorJeremyIrons #IRLActorSamuelLJackson #MetaphorSignSandwichBoard
