What We’re Reading
Imagined Places. The New York of film and television <[link removed]> has always been a creative variation on reality, but now, it's a lesson in gentrification. One rich man is trying to keep Marfa, Texas, going, and residents aren't so convinced <[link removed]>. Phoenix is the least sustainable city in the U.S. It may be running out of water <[link removed]>, and viability.
Extreme Sports. Are you watching Cheer on Netflix? This cheer team has to cross a border to get to practice <[link removed]>. Incarcerated sports fans, meanwhile, gamble with their money and their sentences when they participate in sports betting <[link removed]> in a small way of keeping up with the outside world. And this cyclist is alive because of a donor heart, so he took it on a 1,426-mile tour <[link removed]> to say thanks.
Screened. Noticed more class war on screen <[link removed]>? It's not a coincidence, but it was surprisingly poorly represented in the 2020 Oscar nominations. Wendy Ortiz writes in this overview of race in publishing <[link removed]> about who gets to tell stories, and how.

"Nothing Has Changed"
At first glance, many of the images in Larry Niehues' Nothing Has Changed <[link removed]> have a familiar vintage feel and tone. But look again. These are modern photographs looking at present-day America, reflecting a meandering tour through a nostalgic country with a hidden edge.
