@Beatlesandworms I also recommend : , , about the very problematic man who created what most people think of when they think of jazz.

This is as much a of the form from the 50's to 70's, as the man.

' , , is a great history of the from birth into the 1990's.

Great starting point for all interested in jazz.

I snapped this photo while chatting with a guy loading groceries into his his trunk. He was my elder (80-ish) from Connecticut. It was a typical "Things ain't what they used to be" lament between two old white men.

I mentioned the lost brass-stamping industry there during WWII. He did a double take. How the hell did I know that?

A soldier interview from ' "The War" doc series.

It was weird/wonderful to let him know others knew what had been lost.

I talk to people, and most share.

Documentary filmmaker Ken Burns discusses his new book, Our America: A Photographic History.

In this clip from CNN, Burns also calls out Florida Governor DeSantis for the new education bill which limits the history that can be taught in that state, and notes that he is currently working on a documentary about the American Revolution, stating that the bill "is an assault on the very liberties articulated by the Founders".

I cannot recommend high enough how incredible & import is the & . I am in no place to argue one way or another about whether they got "it" right or wrong (though I believe they got it right), but it is a profound window into what happened. So many tragedies. I've seen the film several times & am still brought to tears again & again.

Also, we think the USA is divided now, & it is, but watch the & consider today compared to then. Staggering.

Watching part 3 of Ken Burns’ The US and the . I think everyone should watch it. It is history that must be remembered, showing exactly what happened.

Especially those of us who are looking to convert to should see it because although we may not have relatives who were direct victims, it will no longer be history of β€˜those’ people but will be history of β€˜our’ people.

We must answer, β€œwhy do you want to become a Jew?”

If the Midwest runs out of groundwater, the farming that is keeping the soil in place will be gone, and the dust bowls will return, worse than ever.

If you don't know about the dust bowl, read up on it, because it is one of the hidden negatives of climate change that is headed this way.

If you think you know about the you don't. If you think you understand the connection to the and movements, you don't.

At least 90% of the images and footage in the documentary were things I'd never seen before. And even though I went to progressive schools during the 1960s and 1970s, most of the real story of US involvement in the genocide, was never taught to me.

Unfortunately, it's not remotely a stretch to say that the US was complicit in the Holocaust and responsible for perhaps 25% of the deaths of who could have been easily saved if not for US

was the of the Holocaust.

Had we merely *processed the visa applications of the Jews trying to flee Hitler,* hundreds of thousands of lives would have been saved.

Instead we kept strict numeric quotas in place throughout the war, and even turned away a shipload of refugees that was forced to return to Europe. About 1/3 of the refugees on that ship died in the camps. That's only one of about 10 bombshells in the doc.

This is the stuff of literal As in, if you watch this, you will definitely have actual nightmares.

Watch it anyway. Because if we don't learn these lessons, we might all have to relive it.

For fun, I watch PBS documentaries (a lot of royalty, , , ), I let my kid watch because not a lot of cursing, but there's real life history involved.

Now when I start a documentary, the kid says, 'I love documentaries!'

It warms my nerdy heart. ❀️ πŸ€“
