A lot clicked into focus for me once I realized that some use the term 'social justice' to refer to a set of interlocking normative questions in need of continuing investigation while others use it to refer to a set of definite normative conclusions in need only of implementation

There is a lot to say about the Nolan Odyssey movie. But one point that I think has not been emphasized enough is: this is a film about living in LA, as Nolan, my erstwhile British compatriot and age mate, has done for years. I gather it’s a strange place.
