So so delighted that @TheAmyNicholson has been selected as the new L.A. Times film critic. Can't wait to start reading her smart, trenchant reviews on a regular basis.
I wrote about Tuesday night and how we must shake off the California dystopia narrative that comes so easily to us. They've written our obituary so many times over the years, but California has a unique way of bouncing back and having the last laugh https://t.co/Ob5XHL9esT
In irrelevant news. My story on the outstanding Mexican film LA COCINA, about undocumented kitchen workers in NYC, was in print at @latimes on Friday. It was hard to find a copy since it was the day after the Dodgers won! But I got one. Always a treat to see one’s work in print.
The @SF_PressClub just awarded its first-ever Courage in Journalism Award to @marielgarzaLAT, the editorials editor who last week resigned from @latimes to protest the nixing of its planned presidential endorsement.

The editorial board of the @latimes did not endorse in the presidential race. Op Editor @marielgarzaLAT quit. @Pulitzer winner @robrtgreene quit. @kklein100 quit. Thousands of readers cancelled the paper. And now @DrPatSoonShiong, owner, tells his side. https://t.co/igb2SJysXe
We've lost a fine journalist and storyteller. Evan's contributions to the scripting and filming of "Generation Kill" were elemental. He was charming, funny and not a little bit feral, as many reporters are. So many moments writing in Baltimore and on set in Africa to remember.
Pressured by cops, a mom made a false murder confession. Now, her sons can prove she's innocent. @jvgarrison and I worked on the wild crime story - lots of twists - for more than a year. https://t.co/1fRMsX2UaB
🎙️| Ange Postecoglou on Timo Werner:
“It’s fair to say Leipzig play a little bit differently and somebody like Timo, the system they play doesn’t necessarily suit him and he does have some competition. It’s fair to say that if Timo was playing regularly and scoring goals, he wouldn’t be here. We wouldn’t be able to afford him. It’s as simple as that. You’re looking for these opportunities and potentially looking beyond the obvious to say, 'there’s an opportunity here'. When Johan [Lange] presented it to me, I was really excited by it because I thought 'here’s an opportunity that normally wouldn't come across our desk at this point in time where we are as a club'. Our priority was the centre-back position but I could see some real possibilities for him playing in our system that maybe at Leipzig, where they’ve changed the way they play that maybe the opportunities wouldn’t be as plentiful for him there."
Was fortunate enough to be present for Kane’s last game at Spurs and Hugo’s farewell on Sunday.
Two huge legends who I have adored growing up and are without a doubt legends of the club 💙 #THFC
A Christopher Nolan profile by the great @KennethTuran ahead of 'Oppenheimer' is our idea of 'event programming.'
If you don't subscribe to the @latimes, you don't get stuff like this. https://t.co/i93QK4t2Ox
