The white is like staring into the Sun.

Sad to say that, because of the capitalization, the first thing that came to mind was "Toronto Sun or Vancouver Sun?" I think they both still have paper editions, so they'd be at least white-adjacent . . .

That’s an understandable point of confusion and an excellent case to avoid capitalization of that term in casual writing. I’ll leave it as is for context, but I’ll probably drop the capital moving forward.

I wonder why it became such a common name for newspapers.
