Khaled Nabhan lost the soul of his soul Reem, because of those terrorists.

We'll never forgive those monsters.

I'm still thinking about "a city of sadness" and the way it focuses on the mundane even in times of upheaval and eventual political repression and violence. Just as Japan surrenders, a child is born. People have their photographs taken. There is a wedding, another baby. Seasons come and go with breathtaking nature shots. There is singing, both cheerful and sad. Violence is rarely shown on screen but omnipresent. One brother never returned from the war and his absence is haunting the film. We do not hear the orders to repress and violate the population but we know it's happening. Characters return from jail injured, traumatized. Executions, torture, all happening in the shadows. A young mother's brother is killed in the mountains, her husband disappears. We learn about both through letters while a baby learns to crawl, while life goes on in the background.

White terrors are an extinct species of lycans belonging to the homolupus genus, particularly known for their unpredictable and aggressive temperament, as well as for their often white or light gray fur, which allows them to disappear completely in the snow.

White Terrors are instantly recognizable when compared to other werewolves due to their long snout that resembles that of a borzoi and their dense, wavy fur. Usually the ears, being sensitive to the cold, are kept folded and carefully hidden in the thick mane.

Ron Carter - Emmett's Ghost - from Dear America by Eric Bibb - #roncarterbassist

Ron Carter Bassist

There are genuine connections and there's apophenia. A random connection is that I was born in the same year that Emmett Till was brutally murdered, It's the same year that the Reverend George W. Lee was murdered. Emmett Till's mother was influenced to have an open casket by Rev. Lee's wife decision to have an open casket. Those are genuine connections.

Hearing this song my random connection to Emmett Till makes the imagery in the song of his ghost still wandering vivid to me.

I saw the collaboration of Ron Carter with Eugene McDaniels, and the song Reverend Lee, which Roberta Flack performs on her second album. I confused Eugene McDaniels with William S. Fischer, someone who Ron Carter also collaborated with on the album Circles. Fischer was born in Mississippi and almost certainly knew about the Reverend George W. Lee's murder. I do not think there is a connection between Rev. George Lee and the Reverend Lee in McDaniels' song. However there's a vividness in the imagery in the song as a dream in the way that dreams are especially vivid.

I still posted the Zinn Education article on The Reverned George W. Lee's murder, because I was so moved by Diane McWorter's recent essay in The Guardian. The spector of white terror is haunting. We live with ghosts.

One thing I find interesting about The Terror's cult following is that, on the face of it, the audience that is attached to the show is not at all what I imagine people assumed when it was released.

Like, this a show specifically about history and the military/the navy, with a cast that is 95% white guys. Even with the horror elements, I kind of imagine AMC executives might've thought it would do well with the 'Dad' audience, or people who like stuff like Band of Brothers. (Tobias Menzies' latest show, Manhunt, is in this category, and I don't think it's entirely coincidental that he & Ciarán Hinds were also big main characters on HBO's Rome, something that also fits this niche.)

And instead, it seems like it was mainly embraced by a younger audience (something Jared Harris himself noticed), specifically one that's probably a lot more queer/non-masculine than might have been expected.

I'm sure there are people out there with much more astute analysis than me on why that is, but I wonder if a lot of it is simply down to tone. This isn't a show about the glory of the military or a patriotic mission, or even about men being noble/tough in the face of an ultimately tragic ending.

It's about how all that shit falls apart when it comes to push comes to shove, and how sometimes things that are framed as glorious are actually a pointless fucking tragedy on behalf of an empire that kept chugging right along without them. And the only thing to show for it is the bonds these people formed before they died.

This black warehouse is a brand new ICE detention camp just erected just 20 minutes north of Austin, TX. I'm sharing the video so you can get a sense of its scale. Calling the detention camps "camps" and not "centers" because they are destabilizing, not centering. (Also: its rapid construction proves that the US could build shelters to house and feed to every houseless person in this nation in just a few weeks. And no, we don’t want the filthy paws of private prison owners in our shelters. Neither do we want them on our immigrant siblings or our incarcerated siblings. But I do notice the federal capacity this reveals.) NOTE: This video was removed from Fb and from the 20 shares from my page, within 10 hours. Please share widely! 2*O*20*O Algreg St., Pflugerville TX
