I didn’t mention Jaime Jarrín in this piece because he’s getting his own appreciation newsletter soon. His impact can’t be reduced to a paragraph celebrating someone else. He’s a living legend.

My first job as a 14 year old kid was selling programs for the Dodgers during the 1981 season. Fernando-mania was awesome! I am so happy number 34 is being retired.

The Dodgers are finally(!!!) retiring the jersey of the baseball player who has meant more to the city of LA than any other. I wrote about why granting the franchise’s highest honor to Fernando Valenzuela is so important to Angelenos:

The Dodgers just announced they will (finally!) retire Fernando Valenzuela’s number, breaking their tradition of only retiring jerseys from players elected to the Baseball Hall of Fane. This is long overdue and so deserved. No Dodger has meant more to the city of LA. 💙💙💙

What is there to even tweet? The GOP refuses to do any gun safety reform when classrooms full of young children get massacred. They aren’t going to care when a bunch of adults who went dancing get slaughtered.

This is Spike. He is officially the oldest living dog in the world, at a spry 23 years and 52 days young. That means he was born in 1999. Claims the secret to his longevity is frequent, uninterrupted naps. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

Solidarity & love to all the literal geniuses who use their editorial brilliance to bring in audience and respect and awards for their employers, which the employers in turn use to bring in millions from advertisers & investors, and who then get chucked bc “times are tough”

I cannot even imagine the chaos that Ticketmaster will unleash upon society when Beyonce decides to tour next. If their fuck ups even approach what happened with the Taylor Swift ticket debacle the BeyHive will join with the Swifties to bring the whole company down

And the dynamic pricing is literally legalized scalping.
Adjusting the prices in real-time, including when it's in your cart. Insanity.

This whole queue thing is bullshit. Used to be you'd log on when tickets went on sale and you either got them in the first five minutes, or you didn't and moved on with your day. Now you have to wait an hour or more in a line to be told the show is sold out.

To all the folks who were laid off today by SB Nation: start a substack. Best thing I ever did. No more living in fear that the next layoffs will hit you. No more dealing with terrible corporate people who have no idea what doing something creative for a living is like.

It’s true—dolphins were spotted in the Bronx River this week! This is great news—it shows that the decades-long effort to restore the river as a healthy habitat is working. We believe these dolphins naturally found their way to the river in search of fish.
