I wrote about Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor’s knotty documentary NAZA and the complexity of putting this film’s narrow POV at this moment. My review via @ebertvoices.bsky.social

NAZA review: Harrowing Israeli film is an essential historical document
“NAZA” stands as an ontological survey of state-sponsored violence.

53 years ago, hip-hop was born at a back-to-school party in the Bronx. Now, the Bronx School of Hip Hop is preparing a new generation of artists to shape what comes next. I sat down with Nas to talk about the past, present, and future of hip-hop in NYC — from the turntables to our classrooms.

"The suburban vertical skating of the 1980's was moving into the city and being transformed by the stairs, rails, ledges, and gaps of urban Los Angeles," Mukari Wall. From the Los Angeles Archivists Collective’s Acid Free magazine: www.laacollective.org/work/mukari-... #skateboarding
A screen capture of a page that features Los Angeles skateboarder Kareem Campbell. The main center image shows Campbell getting some height on his skateboard. Five smaller b/w images of him riding his board run down the left side of the page. The words "Control has never been more important" are printed in red capital letters down the right side of the page.

In the article, "Kareem Campbell embodied freshness in 90's Los Angeles" is written under this image.

Just passing along this PSA beige.party/@Anomnomnoma...
“In the latest fuck you to people who bought
Ed Sheeran tickets... the promoters are refusing refunds on the tickets purchased.
However... banks are allowing chargebacks if you used a debit card and credit card companies will allow a section 75 claim because you are not getting what you paid for.. meaning that because Macklemore and other support acts are no longer performing... you aren't getting what you actually paid for when you bought the tickets... which is grounds for a refund.
So get your refund, and consider donating it to a charity that supports Palestine.”

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.

Searching through Media History Digital Library for teaching (as one does) and came across this rather groan-inducing tagline for exhibitors keen to promote Ida Lupino's THE HITCH-HIKER. Appears in several trade papers including Motion Picture Daily, April 7, 1953. archive.org/details/moti...

Macklemore can sue Robert Kraft for Tortious Interference for economic harm and I hope he does. Discovery would be fun: "Which other stadium owners did you talk to?" and "We need all related emails, text messages and contracts between you and them and you and Sheeran and Sheeran's team."

Macklemore: Palestinian children are people. Robert Kraft *actively getting a handjob from a strip mall prostitute he refuses to tip*: We must ban this hate speech from every stadium in America. Let me call up my friends, the Epstein client list. Ed Sheeran: Good point, sir. Both sides, sir.

The labor movement gave us weekends, 8 hour work days, and ensured that our kids can go to school rather than work. Honored to fight for unions every day. Happy Labor Day to all those who have fought for a fairer economy in the richest country in the world.

Black text on white page that reads:

In 1882, 10,000 workers marched up Broadway in the first-ever Labor Day parade. Led by democratic socialists and organized by New York’s unions, they rallied the movement that went on to win us weekends, safety standards, overtime pay, a minimum wage, and social security.

None of those victories were guaranteed. And none are permanent.

We created the first-in-the-nation Office of Worker Power to put the full weight of City Hall behind the people who keep New York running. On Labor Day, we honor the workers who came before us by fighting for the workers who come next.

Happy Labor Day, New York. The future of worker power is ours to build. Learn more at nyc.gov/workerpower.
