It shouldn’t need reminding this country has an awful history of Black people being harmed, even killed, in the name of “defending” white women. The WNBA's All-Star Game this weekend is in Chicago, Emmett Till's hometown, and a local art gallery is currently hosting an exhibit imagining his life if he hadn't been lynched. While it’s incumbent on the WNBA to do more to protect its players, there also should be an expectation on Clark to recognize the wider consequences of her actions. | |

'The Odyssey' has spiked interest in IMAX70mm showings, but the company explains why building more is 'not practical.'
Sources at Imax confirmed to Variety that many of the parts needed to build these specialized film projectors “simply no longer exist.” The original design files were created roughly half a century ago, but as Gelfond alludes to, they were never properly maintained. As a result, Imax no longer has a complete manufacturing blueprint — and much like the lost tribal knowledge of the Apollo-era spacecraft, very few engineers working today fully understand the systems. | |

Anyone who has sat on an Amtrak train as it idles at a station or crawls around a curve has probably considered the following questions:
Why are trains in America so damn slow? And how can we make them go faster?
A report by Nolan Hicks, a research fellow at the NYU Marron Institute's Transit Costs Project, answers both of those questions. The solutions for speeding up train travel make up the meat of the report. You can read all about the glories of electrified trains and level boarding platforms in my CityLab story from April 2025.
But the first question, the why, is just as important. Deep in his report, Hicks discusses the political and economic forces that left America's passenger rail network in such a sorry state. His work dovetails with my own historical research on this subject for my book, "The Unfinished Metropolis." It's a story that deserves more public attention. We'll never have faster trains if we can't reckon with how trains got so slow in the first place.
A century ago, railroads in America and western Europe were of similar quality. In many ways, the United States actually had a more advanced network. America's Art Deco "streamliners" were the fastest trains in the world, connecting cities like Chicago and Milwaukee in less time than today's Amtrak lines. | |
