Americans are experiencing an epidemic of loneliness [https://www.kcrw.com/news/shows/press-play-with-madeleine-brand/wildfires-census-loneliness-tv/dear-loneliness-project].

Air conditioning becomes a weapon against infection, D.J. Waldie finds the soul in Los Angeles

DnA looks into the extreme measures being taken to improve air conditioning and asks whether outside air is cheaper and healthier. D.J. Waldie has a writerly gift for divining the “sacred ordinariness” in the fabric of Los Angeles. In his new book “Becoming Los Angeles: Myth, Memory, and a Sense of Place,” Waldie reckons with himself and the region in a post-George Floyd world, while illuminating details of LA life, from telecopters to the tiles at Union Station.

How Bill English helped create the computer mouse, and the effort to change the face of architecture

California has around 21,000 licensed architects, and 300 of them are Black. SoCalNOMA (National Organization of Minority Architects [https://socalnoma.org/]) hopes to change that through its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Challenge [https://socalnoma.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/SoCal-NOMA-DEI-Challenge_2020-Final-for-Release-1.pdf]. SoCalNOMA President Lance Collins also talks about decolonizing architecture education and finding an African American architectural language. Computer engineer William English made the mouse a reality. His son John reflects on his father’s work, how William English felt about Apple’s version of the mouse, and how the mouse got its name.
