i tell this story every time these old photos come up but: I remember in film school one of my classmates asked what about film chemistry in the 1970s caused everything shot in NYC to look so brown and grimy and our professor was like "that wasn't the film, that's just what the air looked like here"

i am a longtime reader of car columnist Dan Neil at Wall Street Journal, whose work i’ve followed since his LA Times days. i saw discourse here about games criticism and being a more well rounded reader. agree, it’s why i read car and sports writing, beats that require covering repetitive actions

The job of media commentators is to respond thoughtfully to how people feel, not to tell them how to feel. Which is why the editorials deploring the reaction to the healthcare CEO slaying are such failures of curiosity and understanding, such triumphs of obliviousness and elite panic.

The United States has occupied Okinawa since April 1945 & American troops have raped and murdered girls and women all that time. The women of Okinawa have had enough. Jon Mitchell is the only foreign reporter covering this important struggle for human rights. Shame on the US press for ignoring it.🇺🇸
