Black Power Mixtape 1967 – 1975. The contemporary interviews run over the action a bit too much, and the footage is definitely shaped by whatever random things Swedish documentary crews happened to be interested in in black American communities at any given point over an 8 year period (so, e.g., we lurch from the trial of Angela Davis to a long, muddled section of early 70s anti-drug panic stories). Doesn’t matter. See it anyway; for the footage of Stokeley Carmichael, Angela Davis and Lewis H. Michaux, if nothing else. http://blackpowermixtape.com/

A post from earlier this year @ Rad Geek People’s Daily [radgeek.com], re-posted to-day at C4SS.

In Escambia County, Florida, unarmed 60-year-old men can be shot 15 times because they “did not comply” with police. The sheriff’s department that runs rampage in Escambia County Florida says that this is all according to “standard protocols.” If this was all by the book, what’s that tell you about the book? ‘On Thursday, Morgan defended the officers’ actions as standard procedure because Middleton “did not comply.” Asked by CNN’s Chris Cuomo how police could justify 15 shots at a 60-year-old man, Morgan said the officers saw a metallic object in Middleton’s hand as he made a “lunging movement” toward them. Middleton explained this in his account: He turned around because he thought the entire thing was a practical joke played by a neighbor. ‘“Right now we are comfortable from a training perspective that our officers did follow standard protocols,” Morgan said. . . .’

Seriously, there is no civilized reason why I should ever have to fax anything to anyone, ever. It is exactly the same as if you would take an e-mailed copy of the document, but for no reason at all you required that I send it over an Internet connection that I dialed up with a 2400 baud modem, just for that one specific document.

Help out Daniel Patrick â’¶ with his upcoming move to Denver.

Ruins of the convent and the public fountain at Carmo, em Lisboa. This is right in the heart of downtown Lisboa (you can see it on the crest of a hill above Rossio square, if you are in the Baixa; or you can walk directly there by winding through a couple of streets in Chiado; the Santa Justa Lift is connected to the square by a metal walkway). Today the Largo is a very pretty square, cooled by the shade from the trees and the buildings, where people gather in a low-key way in the evenings. Possibly my favorite place in all of Lisboa to sit and relax or read, especially in the early morning or in the evening.
