18 h. ago ‘A safe haven from racial violence’: Sinners shows the importance of juke joints

Ryan Coogler’s smash hit horror focuses on the opening of a juke joint, a one-time mainstay in Black southern cultureIn Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, the Smokestack twins – a gangster pair played by Michael B Jordan – return to their Mississippi Delta home town to open a juke joint and make a fast buck, only to wind up hunkered inside when danger literally comes knocking. But the juke joint is more than a safe space from vampires; for Black people during segregation, it was an escape from the horrors of the so-called “separate-but-equal” US economy. “The juke joint represents, as the film suggests, this multifaceted connection to the foundation of Black experience,” says William Ferris, a University of North Carolina history professor who has made documenting blues music and southern culture his life’s work. “It’s a safe haven from racial violence.”During the late 19th and early 20th century the juke joint was a southern social institution, the place to drink and unwind over live music.

Superb starlings seen to build reciprocal relations in which they return favours when a ‘helper’ has offspring of its ownBirds of a feather flock together, so the saying goes. But scientists studying the behaviour of starlings have found their ability to give and take makes their relationships closer to human friendships than previously thought.About 10% of bird species and 5% of mammal species breed “cooperatively”, meaning some individuals refrain from breeding to help others care for their offspring.

24 h. ago Israel is starving Gaza. It’s a cheap, silent and brutal way to kill | Ahmed Moor

Starvation is a slow, painful way to die. And unlike bombs and tanks, it’s easy for western leaders to ignoreI recently looked up a biography of Rudolf Höss. The Kommandant who led the Auschwitz prison camp in Poland during the second world war was fastidious in his duties. He successfully oversaw the extermination of millions of people from 1940 to 1943, and, according to accounts, seems to have been a father who cared for his five children. His home life was imagined, and captured, by the film-maker Jonathan Glazer in his 2023 movie The Zone of Interest.John Primomo recounts, in his biography, how the Nazi would randomly select groups of prisoners and sentence them to die by starvation. Höss was eventually captured by Nazi hunters and hanged for his crimes, in his case a slow death on a short gallows.Ahmed Moor is a Palestinian American writer and recipient of the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans Continue reading...

Cheese odds and ends, potatoes (and/or celeriac or beetroot), onions and cream, all crammed into a pastry caseToday’s comforting pie is super-adaptable and brilliant for using up any leftover bits of cheese. The classic homity pie filling of potatoes, onions and cream works beautifully with a jumble of cheese ends – cheddar, stilton, taleggio or whatever pungent blocks and rinds are lurking in your fridge drawer; it’s also a fantastic base for using up other root vegetables besides potatoes – celeriac, for example, bring earthiness, beetroot turns the entire filling a vibrant purple, while salsify adds a nutty note. Use whatever you have to hand, and waste nothing. Continue reading...
