In Jonathan Capehart’s forthcoming memoir, Yet Here I Am: Lessons from a Black Man’s Search for Home, the author explains why he left the editorial board of the Washington Post in 2023. “I decided to wait to tell this story until now,” Capehart writes. “I needed time and emotional distance to process what I went through.”Sounds pretty bad. Yet as one delves into the details of why Capehart walked, it’s Capehart himself who looks pretty bad.

You remember. You remember the girl from India and how she smelled like heaven. You remember the Twilight Sad and their 2008 album Forget the Night Ahead. You remember 2008 and getting the diagnosis and thinking that you weren’t going to make it. You remember thanking God that if you were going to check out he at least let you be a teenager in the 1980s. You remember that electrifying mix of terror and ecstasy at the thought that you were going to leave this world and find out what comes next.

Norm Eisen is a hypocrite. So is Dana Milbank. Thetwo have lectured Americans about the importance of due process.

On the International Movie Database list of the “50 Best Conservative Movies,” the most recent film, Juno, came out in 2007 — almost 20 years ago.

In the spring of 1985, I walked into my father’s office on the seventh floor of National Geographic and found myself face-to-face with what, arguably, would become the most famous photograph in the history of the magazine. “Afghan Girl” is a portrait of Sharbat Gula, an Afghan refugee in Pakistan during the Soviet–Afghan War. The photograph was taken photojournalist Steve McCurry near the Pakistani city of Peshawar. “Afghan Girl” would appear in the upcoming June 1985 issue of National Geographic.
