We hope that you are enjoying your Labor Day weekend, folks!  Perhaps to further enjoy your respite, check out the latest episode of Afronerd Radio's Grindhouse broadcast airing every Sunday at 6 p.m. eastern on BTalk 100.  The issues to be discussed this time are listed as follows: the crew discuss their trials respective experiences as New Yorkers dealing with the torrential onslaught of Hurricane Ida  

Dburt actually went to a movie theater for the first time in over a year and it was Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings that pulled him!  We will provide you with our impressions of the film which is projected to make 75-85 million at the box office this 3-day holiday weekend;   A Gamesradar.com piece posits that the vaunted DC vs. Marvel rivalry is officially over (OK....we didn't get that memo, but let's see);  popular podcaster/comedian, Joe Rogan recently disclosed that he contracted COVID-19 but was able to combat the virus with some fairly questionable drugs (as opposed to getting vaccinated); And what about that Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future franchise, Taxi) Rick and Morty Adult Swim promo?....Great Scott!

And then there's the upcoming Injustice VG to animated movie...hmm:

actor, Jaleel White's interview on the People's Party with Talib Kweli provides some interesting insight

into the early development of his iconic Steve Urkel character (and indirectly providing nascent blerd imagery):

And then there's this:

Tonight, an all Black male crew broadcasted the 10 p.m. newscast on NBC 33.

Everyone from the anchor, reporter, sports, weather & production are black males.

We work so hard, do amazing jobs & this moment is so humbling to us.

This is Black Excellence! #BlackBoyJoy pic.twitter.com/3GtvyOdbv6

 And lastly, our thoughts about Facebook's apology for their A.I. labeling a video about Black men as "primates."  SO are we to assume that racial animus will be "baked in" to the algorithm?
