Childish Gambino – This Is America | Video Worth Watching
For Donald Glover – “This is America”. This may not be the America that you or I experience, but I believe it’s an authentic, albeit terrifying, vision by Glover interpreted in his musical persona Childish Gambino.
What does it all mean? The lyrics suggest a theme, but don’t truly explicate. Images and poses suggesting Jim Crow iconography abound. Many have commented on the significance of Glover choosing Daniel Kaluuya, the star of Jordan Peele’s movie Get Out, with its “Sunken Place”, to introduce Glover’s performance of the work on Saturday Night Live. The immense popularity of the video (posted on May 5th it had 83 million views as of May 12th) has spawned a plethora of videos attempting to interpret the work, but to my knowledge Glover hasn’t weighed in on any of them. There’s also commentary online, and the curious may want to check out The Daily Beast’s Ira Madison, III, The HuffPost’s Hayley Miller, The Rolling Stone’s Tre Johnson or Brittany Spanos.

Trita Parsi: I Was Targeted by Black Cube in Dirty Ops Effort Attacking Supporters of Iran Deal | Video Worth Watching
Trita Parsi, head of the National Iranian American Council, says he was targeted by an Israeli private intelligence agency over his support for the Iran nuclear deal. The agency, Black Cube, was hired to orchestrate a “dirty ops” campaign against members of the Obama administration who negotiated the nuclear agreement. The Guardian reports Trump’s aides hired Black Cube; The New York Times says it’s not yet clear who hired the intelligence firm. Among those Black Cube was hired to investigate and discredit were Obama’s top national security aide Benjamin Rhodes and Vice President Joe Biden’s national security adviser Colin Kahl. Black Cube is made up of former officials from the Mossad and other Israeli agencies. It is the same firm hired by disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein to stop publication of articles that exposed him as a sexual predator. [Read more…]
Bioluminescent Waves in San Diego, Red Tide = Blue Waves | Video Worth Watching
The last few nights, San Diego coastal observers from La Jolla, north to Encinitas, were treated to a natural light show. A bloom of a certain kind of algae that turns the color of the ocean water to a brownish-red shade, also creates a bluish-white light at night when the force of the surf triggers the critters’ bio-luminescence. I haven’t discovered any videos posted yet of this current event, but for the curious who haven’t had the good fortune to be able to observe this first-hand, here is a clip of the same kind of event that occurred in 2014, filmed along Del Mar and Solana Beach.

Sessions Vows to Prosecute All Illegal Border Crossers and Separate Children From Their Parents | Video Worth Watching
This Monday, May 7th, Attorney General Jeff Sessions visited Scottsdale, Arizona and here in San Diego, to deliver the message that the Justice Department will begin prosecuting every person who illegally crosses into the United States along the Southwest border.
In other words, the Justice Department’s vision will no longer see families desperately fleeing violence and persecution, they will only see criminals attempting to break border crossing laws. For families traveling together, they will see adults smuggling children; adults who must be jailed, separating them from their smuggling “victims”, even if they are their children.
The Washington Post reported that
In San Diego, Sessions was interrupted by a heckler with a megaphone.
“We don’t want you in our state,” the man yelled. “Are you going to be separating families? Is that why you’re here? Why are you doing this? Do you have a heart? Do you have a soul? Why do you work for this administration?”
Those questions went unanswered.

Ranky Tanky — O Death — Live at Philadelphia Folk Festival | Video Worth Watching
This is a very different version than the ones that I’m most familiar with: the spare unaccompanied vocal delivery of Ralph Stanley as featured in the film O Brother, Where Art Thou? or the Gullah version of Bessie Jones re-imagined by TangleEye. This version, by the group Ranky Tanky, also has roots in the Gullah tradition, but it’s taken in a different direction. The trumpet (Charlton Singleton) just melts my heart! [Read more…]
