Americans still don't realize how bad it has gotten and how much worse it is going to get.
Immense destruction, pain and suffering, and we're not even at the tip of it.

Opinion | I never personally had a Nazi-curious phase. But as a fair minded journalist, it’s my job to pretend this is a normal rite of passage for American men who might later go into politics.

Mandarin Duck (Aix galericulata) This duck species is native to Asia, distinguished by its stunning plumage. Many birds have escaped from collections & there are now 7000 living wild in the UK & large populations in Germany, Carolina & California, USA. Terrific image taken by Graham Walker in the UK

I make these judgement calls all the time:
- The best James Dobson photo is from 2002, can we run that with his obit?
- The photo is from the same protest, but features people who aren't in the story, is that confusing?
- Is this image of LA fires is close enough to the neighborhoods we report on?
- The best James Dobson photo is from 2002, can we run that with his obit?
- The photo is from the same protest, but features people who aren't in the story, is that confusing?
