“His Spirit Reflected a Giant”: Mumia Abu-Jamal Remembers Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s Visit on Death Row

Mumia Abu-Jamal remembers South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who died on Sunday at the age of 90. Tutu was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for fighting to end apartheid in South Africa. In 2007, Tutu visited Mumia when he was still on death row. “His spirit reflected a giant,” says Abu-Jamal.

“He struggled for change with his prophetic voice, his sweet humor, his deep love and his boundless sense of compassion.”

Der langsame Tod...

Okuna wollte ja gerne ein G+ Nachfolger werden. Aber schon von Anfang an hatte ich meine Zweifel. War selbst nur kurz dabei und war nicht überzeugt. Alles hat seine Zeit. Und die Zeit von Netzwerken ausserhalb der Platzhirsche ist leider vorbei. Die Konzentration auf dem Markt hat zu allerlei unschönen Dingen geführt. Da reisst es unser kleines Grüppchen auf Diaspora oder im Fediverse nicht wirklich raus. Auch dem Nachfolger "somus" sehe ich eher kritisch an. Erfolg hat man heute nur noch, wenn man die Platzhirsche mit noch schlimmerer Raubtiermentalität zerstört.

Goodbye 1th Hour with Brian Williams
From staunch, arrogant, and humbled anchorman to panel-master and sardonic humorist in difficult times, you will be missed.
(Maddow going too, Cuomo gone, turnover in the cable news/analysis ranks. Age 61, he got some mighty praise from historians and journalists on his last show tonight. Not shuffled off his mortal coil, only leaving TV-land to explore life. Hope he keeps his humor!

And the other loss (amid a very bad time in general for losses) was in fact a death, but at a ripe old age: Lina Wertmuller, one of my favorite directors in the day, student of Fellini who had her characters jumping off the screen and captivating, as with one all-time favorite, Swept Away, with two great actors and a sharp look at both sexism and classism with a "spoiled rich bitch" tourist barking orders to an "ignorant fisherman" on a yacht, until they are shipwrecked. An epic battle ensues, and an exposition on both natural order (alphas, love, and romance) and the human spirit. Fine movie. Great film-maker. Rest in peace, end scene... swept away into cinema history.

Raffaele Roshan Giordano ar-Rāzī:
Der Patient, für den ich kürzlich keinen ITS-Platz in der Stadt bekam, ist in einer Klinik im Münsterland gestorben.

Er starb nicht an Corona, nicht mit Corona.
Er starb wegem dem Corona der anderen.
