This CD player was my birthday present in 1997 along with the incomparable Fresh Hits 1997. I found it recently and COULD NOT BELIEVE how rich the sound was, after years of streaming Spotify on my phone. My column today is about this phenomenon, which I’m calling “qualitynesia” on.ft.com/3ZlwHf5

Six decades later, Star Trek may still be the only franchise based on the ideas that diversity is strength, justice is the measure of civilization, bounty is to be shared, peace is worth the price, and all these things can be achieved.
We need more shows that look ahead and find goodness.

The songs in Moana 2 are terrible. I wrote about what Lin-Manuel Miranda brought to Disney, and what we’ve lost without him.
After Moana 2, We All Owe Lin-Manuel Miranda an Apology
Without him, every song in the sequel is as flimsy and disposable as the last.

Someone asked me why a healthcare wonk would be opposed to a single payer healthcare system.
First: I’m *not* necessarily opposed to single payer; as with any other system it depends on the details of both how it’s implemented as well as how it’s administered. 1/
