Brazil has the largest Japanese population outside the homeland — about 1.5 million — and Japanese culture has become an ever-present part of Brazilian life. latimes.com/columnone/la-f…
One way in which it’s done so is through the growing popularity of sumo. lat.ms/2kC4MIp

Harris’ campaign started with exhilarating highs: her artfully executed announcement, her Senate grilling of attorney general nominee William Barr, and her standout performance in June’s first presidential debate. lat.ms/31cTCtx

Columnist @davidlaz is in his third week of antidepressant abstinence after spending more than a year and a half gradually reducing his doses.

“It hasn't been easy,” he says. latimes.com/business/story…
Lon Schneider, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at USC, told @davidlaz that "patients need to be aware up front" about the journey they're embarking upon when they stop using prescription drugs.
For anyone thinking about going off prescription drugs, it’s important to first consult a healthcare provider, someone who can prepare you for what's ahead and assist when things become difficult. Here are some other lessons from @davidlaz’s experience: latimes.com/business/story…

YEEEES je viens de sortir du comico là. Je suis la meuf la plus sobre de toute la ville en cette nuit de #FêtedelaMusique, mais 4 gros cons de 👮‍♂️ n'ont rien trouvé de mieux à foutre que de me contrôler puis m'emmener au comico pour AUCUNE RAISON. Je vous raconte demain. #ACAB 🔥
Allez je me lance pour le racontage ! Prenez-place, faites-vous un petit thé, parce que je vous jure que vous êtes pas prêt•e•s (à moins d'avoir déjà eu affaire à la connardise de nos chers ami•e•s les flics) #NosFlicsOntDuTalent #ACAB

Here’s a story I wrote with @EliStokols in December:

After nearly two years in the White House, Trump’s lies start catching up with him

latimes.com/politics/la-na…
After the special counsel investigation ended, we published this story:

Mueller report exposes all the president’s liars

latimes.com/politics/la-na…
And way back during the campaign, @finneganLAT wrote this article that used the word “lie” regularly:

Scope of Trump's falsehoods unprecedented for a modern presidential candidate

Breaking — A furious Judge Jackson imposed a near-total gag order on Roger Stone over his Instagram post. He can ask for legal fund donations and proclaim his innocence, but any other statements could land him in jail.
This was a remarkable court hearing. Roger Stone took the stand to talk about the Instagram post, but struggled under withering questions from the judge and prosecutors.
"How hard was it to come up with a photograph that didn't have crosshairs?" Jackson demanded at one point.

Stone said he didn't notice the symbol and didn't intend for them to be crosshairs.
