The epic struggle for control of Los Angeles and the history of the 30s, 40s, and 50s in America's dream city. Now the Fox UK TV series Mob City. Mid-century Los Angeles. A city sold to the world as 'the white spot of America', a land of sunshine and orange groves, wholesome Midwestern values and Hollywood stars, protected by the world's most famous police force, the Dragnet-era LAPD. Behind this public image lies a hidden world of 'pleasure girls' and crooked cops, ruthless newspaper tycoons, corrupt politicians, and East Coast gangsters on the make.

Yoga and Healing for Black Embodiment is a sacred offering and field guide for Black practitioners, teachers, and seekers reclaiming yoga as a path of remembrance, resistance, and liberation. Drawing from African spiritual traditions, diasporic wellness practices, classical yoga lineages, and personal testimony, author Danny Angelo Fluker Jr. honors Blackness not as something to transcend—but as something divine, powerful, and already whole.

Story0
On appelle traditionnellement « peste noire » le moment paroxystique de la deuxième pandémie de peste, qui se diffuse en Europe à partir de 1347. Elle constitue à ce jour la plus grande catastrophe démographique de l'histoire de l'humanité. Car la peste met à l'épreuve ce que peut l'histoire dès lors qu'elle se montre accueillante à l'apport de toutes les sciences du passé, y compris lorsqu'elles fouillent les archives du vivant et celles de la Terre. Elle fut, historiquement, une mise à l'épreuve de la capacité des pouvoirs et des sociétés humaines à faire face à la mort de masse.

Story15
1930s Shanghai could give Chicago a run for its money. In the years before the Japanese invaded, the city was a haven for outlaws from all over the world: a place where pasts could be forgotten, fascism and communism outrun, names invented, fortunes made - and lost. 'Lucky' Jack Riley was the most notorious of those outlaws. An ex-navy boxing champion, he escaped from prison in the States, spotted a craze for gambling and rose to become the Slot King of Shanghai. Ruler of the clubs in that day was 'Dapper' Joe Farren - a Jewish boy who fled Vienna's ghetto with a dream of dance halls.

Que savons-nous de la répression exercée sur les femmes et les hommes noirs ? Que savons-nous du racisme systémique ?

Couleur des ténèbres, de la mort et de l'enfer, le noir n'a pas toujours été une couleur négative. Au fil de sa longue histoire, il a aussi été associé à la fertilité, à la tempérance, à la dignité, à l'autorité. Et depuis quelques décennies, il incarne surtout l'élégance et la modernité. Du noir des moines et des pirates au noir des peintres et des couturiers, Michel Pastoureau retrace la destinée européenne et la symbolique ambivalente de cette couleur pas comme les autres.

Noir Frequency is a late-night transmission about fear, folklore, and the stories we tell ourselves when the lights go out. Each episode follows the places where myth, history, science, and paranoia overlap. We open case files and campfire tales side by side, tracing how belief moves through culture: playground dares, classified memos, urban legends, declassified experiments, and the strange things our minds do in the dark. Tune in, follow the signal, and stay long enough to let the questions sink in. Support the signal: https://patreon.com/noirfrequency https://noirfrequency.com

Assassinats de dirigeants étrangers, coups d’État, trafic d’armes et de drogues, soutien à des groupes terroristes ou à d’anciens nazis, détentions abusives et tortures, expérimentations d’armes chimiques... Depuis sa création, la CIA n’a cessé de multiplier les infractions à la loi. Elle déclassifie une partie de ses archives arguant que les dérapages de la guerre froide sont aujourd’hui révolus. Ce livre montre qu’il n’en est rien. Pour la première fois, cet ouvrage dresse un bilan aussi exhaustif que possible des méthodes douteuses de l’Agence, des origines à nos jours.

There is something of both the absolutely spectacular and positively disgraceful about Tehran. But most writers around the world are inclined to think that their own sprawling metropolis is the capital of every imaginable vice and crime, of impossible love and tenderness and cruelty and malice in measures that seldom exist anywhere else. For me, Tehran's case is no different - except that there really is a difference here. The city may be a hothouse of decadence, a den of inequity, all that. But it still exists under the watchful eye of a very unique entity, the Islamic Republic.

Prohibition. Mobsters, murder, and mayhem. FBI agents. Cops, robbers, and worse. Sound like the background for a Hollywood epic? It's Ernest Marquez's latest very true story of the renowned gambling ships that anchored in Santa Monica Bay in the 1920s and 1930s. It's the story of Tony Cornero, the cockiest gangster who ever bootlegged a bottle of scotch, the man who helped found Las Vegas, and the smooth operator of the most glamorous gambling ship in the Pacific, the Rex.
