Today in Labor History July 26, 1937: Photojournalist and antifascist Gerda Taro was killed while covering the Spanish Civil War. She was 26. Thousands attended her funeral. Taro was a German Jew, who had to flee Germany after being imprisoned for her anti-Nazi activism. While living in exile, in France, she met another Jewish exile and photojournalist, Endre Ernő Friedmann. Together they published their work under the pseudonym Robert Capa. Scholar Hanno Hardt described their work as such: "Taro and Capa helped invent the genre of modern war photography while fueling the vicarious experience of the spectator by offering an approximation of life in the conflict zone." After Taro’s death, Friedmann would retain the name Robert Capa and go on to become recognized as one of the greatest photojournalists ever. In 1947, he cofounded the Magnum photojournalism cooperative, which included other great photographers, like Maria Eisner, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger, and William and Rita Vandivert. Madrid and Paris both named streets for Taro, Calle Gerda Taro and Rue Gerda Taro, respectively. Helena Janeczek portrayed Taro in her historical novel, The Girl With the Leica (1917). #workingclass #LaborHistory #fascism #nazis #antifascism #jewish #antisemitism #hitler #franco #gerdataro #robertcapa #journalism #photography #photojournalism #spain #civilwar #fiction #historicalfiction #novel #books #author #writer @bookstadon@a.gup.pe

Il Fatto Quotidiano: “Raccontare la morte di mio fratello Franco può aiutare altri che vivono la mia stessa esperienza. Da queste cose si può uscire. La mia Versilia? Dovrebbero mettere i nomi delle strade anche in russo”: così Panariello “Di cosa vuoi parlare del presente? Non puoi portare la gente in un teatro e raccontarle cose che è costretta a subire tutti i giorni“: parole che Giorgio Panariello dice a Vanity Fair e che danno subito un’idea del perché il suo spettacolo teatrale di grande successo si chiami E se domani. “L’idea è stata quella di parlare del futuro – continua l’attore – di andare oltre questo presente e vedere quali idee e quali stimoli potesse offrirci per scrivere qualcosa. Devo dire che ne abbiamo trovati tanti ed è stato molto divertente immaginarli”. Tra i tanti temi affrontati nello spettacolo l’uso dell’Intelligenza Artificiale che, secondo Panariello, mostra ancora limiti evidenti, almeno sul campo della comicità: “Per esempio ho scritto: ‘Fammi qualche battuta sui vigili urbani’. L’intelligenza artificiale, almeno per ora, scrive delle sciocchezze, perché non è ancora perfetta: pesca in modo casuale tra gli argomenti affrontati da vari comici. Così rischi di fare una battuta che magari è di Brignano e quello si arrabbia pure. Ma soprattutto manca il gusto. Non ci sono i tempi, non ci sono le parole giuste. La comicità è fatta anche di sguardi e di silenzi: basta una pausa fatta bene per essere molto divertente. Per questo non credo che sia pane per i nostri denti”. L'articolo “Raccontare la morte di mio fratello Franco può aiutare altri che vivono la mia stessa esperienza. Da queste cose si può uscire. La mia Versilia? Dovrebbero mettere i nomi delle strade anche in russo”: così Panariello proviene da Il Fatto Quotidiano. Telling about the death of my brother Franco can help others who are living through my same experience. You can get out of things like this. My Versilia? They should put street names on them even in Russian”: so Panariello. “What do you want to talk about today? You can’t take people to a theater and tell them things they are forced to endure every day.”: words that Giorgio Panariello says to Vanity Fair and which immediately give an idea of why his hugely successful theatrical show is called “And If Tomorrow.” “The idea was to talk about the future – continues the actor – to go beyond this present and see what ideas and stimuli it could offer us for writing something. I must say we found many of them, and it was very fun to imagine them.” Among the many themes addressed in the show is the use of Artificial Intelligence, which, according to Panariello, still shows obvious limitations, at least in the field of comedy: “For example, I wrote: ‘Make me some jokes about municipal police officers.’ Artificial intelligence, for now, writes nonsense because it’s not yet perfect: it randomly fishes among the topics addressed by various comedians. So you risk making a joke that might be by Brignano and he gets angry too. But above all, there’s a lack of taste. There aren’t the timing, there aren't the right words. Comedy is also made of glances and silences: a well-made pause can be very funny. That’s why I don’t think it’s something we can easily handle.” The article comes from Il Fatto Quotidiano: “Talking about the death of my brother Franco can help others who are living my same experience. You can get out of these things. My Versilia? They should name the streets in Russian too”: so says Panariello. #Franco #Versilia #Russian #Panariello #GiorgioPanariello #VanityFair #Brignano #IlFattoQuotidiano https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2026/07/13/raccontare-la-morte-di-mio-fratello-franco-puo-aiutare-altri-che-vivono-la-mia-stessa-esperienza-da-queste-cose-si-puo-uscire-la-mia-versilia-russa-parla-panariello/8447091/

Embryo's Rache by Embryo, released on United Artists Records in 1971. Mellotron Storm wrote on Prog Archives ...Jimi Jackson from AMON DULL II adds mellotron, organ and piano. Jimi likes to distort his keyboards so it all sounds so good. Ahh Krautrock. There is some Farfisa on here too that happened to be in Dieter Dierks studio where they recorded it in 1971. Love the picture of the four guys (which includes Jimi) in the liner notes. By the way I think this is a definite improvement over their debut. "Tausendfussler" opens with vocals expressions, percussion and what sounds like congas. It kicks in around a minute with flute playing over top... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gkh14P7FVX4 #Embryo #Krautrock #Cosmishe #Flute #Mellotron #JazzRock #Franco #Music
